Here a little more about each of us:

I’m Camille,

I got my start in the fitness industry when I was just 17 years old when Anita asked me if I ever thought about competing. I said no, I didn’t know I could. She relied “You can if you want to” . Six years later, six shows later and I finally earned my natural bikini pro card.

I had three separate contest preps and each one revealed something new to me about myself. I quickly realized that you get out of contest prep when you put into it.

I knew that my place in the fitness industry was to connect with other competitors, share our journey and dig deeper to get something more out of this physical journey.

For me, competing isn’t just about looking beautiful, but rather, a way to connect with other people who are looking to be better. It’s a way to plant a little bit of confidence in their hearts; a yearning to turn the page and learn more about your body and mind. Ultimately, it’s about shining bright inside and out.

I’m Anita,

I got my start in the fitness industry in 2008. The sport was, and still is, quickly evolving. Information, resources, and advice were few far between, not to mention suit designers. I started my first suit company that I doubled in size 3 years in a row. I saw an opportunity to fill full a need and the clients kept coming. The industry quickly took lift and sparkly suits became my life.

My love for creating beauty and design has always fueled my passions. When Camille came to me looking to build a community of women looking to live a stronger more fulfilled life, I was ALL IN! I want to help unlock the potential in women to let your true self SHINE!

We know that competing in a competition can be a huge challenge & goal to accomplish! We want to make sure you SHINE on stage! Be sure to look around the website, we have lots of helpful resources to help enlighten your journey to stage! Hear from competitors from all walks of life on our podcast & reference our blogs to make packing your peak week bag a breeze!

There's a lot more than training & nutrition that goes into having a positive show experience. We are here to help start conversations about the things that go unspoken! We want to dive into the nitty gritty details of what you need to know if you’re a competitor! If you have questions send us an email to info@shinebikin.com
