Early life

Sherman grew up in Fort Lee, New Jersey, graduating from Fort Lee High School, where she did not play sports.[4] She attended Syracuse University, graduating with a Communications degree in 1990.[5] Sherman worked out in college and valued fitness from an early age.[4]

Career

A resident of Demarest, New Jersey, Sherman took up indoor cycling in her 40s when she was a stay at home mom.[4] She trained as a spinning instructor, teaching across multiple studios and gyms in Bergen County, New Jersey.[4]

In 2013, Sherman sent Peloton an unprompted email to apply for a coaching job.[6] She auditioned by teaching a spinning class in a makeshift studio before the company had products or in-person classes.[4] Sherman was the very first cycling instructor hired by the company in May 2013,[7] and has taught thousands of classes during her tenure with the firm.[8]
