Sumi Singh owner of Shailafitness

I’m Sumi, a personal trainer, online coach, and author. I've been in the industry over 25 years now, and hold multiple certifications in specialized populations as well (i.e., teens, seniors, pre and post natal). I do online coaching for nutrition, mental training (I wrote a book on this), prenatal yoga, and general strength training. I also edited a book called the GLP-1 Solution, and have several years of experience working with people using these medications.

I authored Mom Strong, a complete beginners guide not just for new moms but anyone (man or woman) new to strength training. Mom Strong combines a home workout resistance training program, cardiovascular guidelines and dietary advice for busy people looking for a basic at-home plan to get strong. Speaking of strong, I also hold numerous Texas state, National, and World records in powerlifting across several weight classes (48 kg and 52 kg), age classes (Masters 40-44 and 45-49), and federations.

I might also be the most overly nerdy trainer you've ever met. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Tufts University and a Masters in Environmental Management from Duke University. This strong science background gives me an edge in being able to separate stupid fads and trends from effective approaches to fitness and nutrition. You can contact me regarding online coaching or personal training at sumi@shailafitness.com and don't forget to ask my how much can I bench

In my youth, I modeled for fitness apparel, books, and videos, so have put myself through the agony of having to diet (repeatedly) and will be right there with you with the right mix of tough love and empathy as you go after any hard goal.
