SHERMEIN C.
STRENGTH INSTRUCTOR
Shermein’s fitness journey began with a struggle up three flights of stairs, which turned into 8 years of consistent strength training and 2 years of coaching. In her classes, expect clear cues, strong beats (think 90s remixes, manyao, modern pop), and a supportive nudge to go a little further.
Outside the studio, she's a PhD student who splits her time between academic journals and her home cafe whisking up a matcha, baking lasagna or sourdough, from scratch, no less.

“A pretty intense workout with dumbbells. The instructor is very clear with her demonstrations and she provides alternatives based on different needs. She also goes around to check on our form.”

“There was a good variation of exercises that targeted at my most problematic areas: glutes, core, quads. Shermein gave different levels of difficulty for the participants to challenge ourselves by choice - thank you!”
