Janice Rodriguez
CEO/ Founder
Janice’s passion for sports and fitness have been her lifeblood since her childhood. Janice was a versatile athlete, which naturally incorporated health and fitness into her daily life. After obtaining her bachelors degree in Business Administration and Finance, Janice began building a successful career in corporate banking.
After 5 years in finance, she decided to act on her most desired dream, to inspire a mindset and lifestyle change within the community where she was born and raised, Washington Heights. In 2018, she creatively merged both her love for fitness and her desire for entrepreneurship, into what is now known as Drip Sweat.
Janice’s vision for Drip Sweat is to build a diverse, supportive community where everyone can feel empowered, accomplished, and supported along their fitness journey. Alongside her team, Janice has designed Drip Sweat to deliver a favorable personal experience in a boutique environment, complemented by comprehensive nutrition education, and a full-fledged juice bar.
