Our Story

At aSweatLife, we know it’s not always easy to get a workout in, but when you do, taking that time for yourself can be the thing that ignites your best day.

But it took us a while to figure out that fitness was about way more than just sweating.

When Jeana Anderson Cohen started aSweatLife July of 2012, she was bored senseless with her fitness routine. After years of the same elliptical, abs and arms routine, she set off to try different gyms across Chicago and talk about the workouts that she loved and would benefit others.

This rule of only writing about the things that benefitted others became the guiding principle of aSweatLife, especially as the team grew from one personal blogger to an editorial team of dozens of people across the world.
