FROM ATHLETE TO MOM & ENTREPRENEUR

Hello and thanks for visiting Love 2 Sweat. My name is Jamima (ya-mee-ma); I’m a mom of two little girls, a wife, an entrepreneur and, yes, I love to sweat. I was always very energetic and athletic as a child and that passion has continued into adulthood. After receiving my degree in kinesiology I decided to hold off on graduate school and competed as a professional triathlete for several years. Growing frustrated with chronic injuries I decided it was time to go back to school and received my MBA from the University of California at Davis. After graduating, my love of fitness continued and I launched three fitness apps available in the iTunes store.

Love 2 Sweat started with a few handmade gold foil prints, but I always wanted to expand into other fitness lifestyle products. I'm excited to continue to grow the brand as Love 2 Sweat is about inspiring and celebrating your sweaty lifestyle no matter what you choose to do – whether its taking your first-ever fitness class or finishing your tenth marathon. I love to encourage people to challenge themselves and my clean, modern designs are inspired by my experiences as an athlete, coach and sweat addict.

Favorite way to sweat: Running, although a “dance party” with my girls is pretty great too.

Sports competed in: Triathlon, Cross Country, Track & Field, Road Cycling, Gymnastics, Diving, Swimming

Number of Ironman triathlons completed: 5 – and yes, each one started off with me saying to myself “Why am I doing this?” Of course I then signed up for another one after finishing. Not sure why.
