Early life

Career

A resident of Demarest, New Jersey, Sherman took up indoor cycling in her 40s when she was a stay at home mom.[5] She trained as a spinning instructor, teaching across multiple studios and gyms in Bergen County, New Jersey.[5]

In 2013, Sherman sent Peloton an unprompted email to apply for a coaching job.[7] She auditioned by teaching a spinning class in a makeshift studio before the company had products or in-person classes.[5] Sherman was the very first cycling instructor hired by the company in May 2013,[8] and has taught thousands of classes during her tenure with the firm.[9]
