About Sheryl

Before I became a fitness instructor, I was just someone who loves dancing and fitness. When I was little, my mom put me in dance, piano, swimming and gymnastics.

In January 2012, I discovered Jazzercise, Zumba and Hula (yes, all roughly the same time). I started with Jazzercise and Hula because I was told they would be easier. When I first did Jazzercise, I felt like I had two left feet. Within a month or two, I picked up the basic moves. As I started to gain confidence, I moved from the very last row in class to the front row. :) 

​

Four months after I joined Jazzercise, I was ready to give Zumba a try. OMG, there was no looking back. I continued to do Jazzercise for another 6+ years while embarking on my "Zumba journey".

​

At first, I did Zumba once or twice a week. Then something changed in 2018. I realized Zumba was my “happy place” even when life got rough sometimes. I have met so many great people through Zumba. The Zumba community has been wonderful. I joined 24-Hour Fitness and UFC gyms to attend more classes, on top of doing classes at the district park and the recreational centers. I have also done Yoga, Pop Pilates, Bodypump, Body Combat, Les Mills Core, Strong Nation (by Zumba), Cycle, TurboKick, UJam and MixxedFit. I loved almost every format I have tried. It’s good to change it up as our bodies are quite easily adaptable.

When the pandemic hit, I decided to get certified in Zumba, Gold and Pop Pilates. I like to dance but I also love working on my core strength, balance, flexibility and mobility through mat-based exercises, resistance training, and kettlebells.

I am currently certified in Zumba,  Zumba Gold, Pop Pilates, Circl Mobility, and Silver Sneakers (senior fitness). I am currently working on another few formats which will take me a while to complete as there are so much to learn and study!

So here I am, instructing Zumba, Gold and Pop Pilates, and loving every minute of it! While I am teaching classes at the Mililani Rec Center and 24-Hour Fitness gyms, I am happily subbing for fellow instructors at 4 different 24-Hr gyms. Subbing can be fun! I get to meet new participants and make new friends - both instructors and students. I’m really enjoying what I do every week!

I hope to bring you fun classes that help you achieve your fitness and health goals. Let's make your workout time at the rec center and gym your Happy Hour!

Yours Truly,

Sheryl 🥰
