A free soul, Rachel was born in New York City and spent her early childhood living with her mother in the infamous Chelsea Hotel. When Rachel was five, the pair moved to Miami Beach, Florida.
Cosmopolitan and street-savvy beyond her years, Rachel was every bit the city girl – mouthy, brazen, and confident. She grew up surrounded by artists and an alternative lifestyle in both New York and Miami which gave her an independent streak. That sense of being true to herself has defined Rachel’s every move.
Athletics have always been a core component of her life. A black belt at age 9, Rachel’s athleticism has also earned her countless opportunities, including a full scholarship to an elite Florida private high school for basketball.
She later went on to become a part of the Real World/Road Rules Challenges and her popularity as a cast member extended through 8 seasons. In her final season, Rachel won the ultimate title when she individually won THE DUEL 2, finishing the triathlon ahead of both the male and female competitors.
Since then, Rachel has settled down in Miami and realized her passion for fitness in launching her business, Rachel Robinson Fitness.
