Meet Sumi Singh
I do the hard thing myself.
I’ve coached for more than 25 years and hold certifications in specialized populations: teens, seniors, and pre- and post-natal. I hold Texas state, national and world records in powerlifting across the 48 kg and 52 kg classes and two Masters age divisions.
With a biology degree from Tufts and a master’s from Duke, I separate what works from what’s just trending, and I bring the right mix of tough love and empathy to any hard goal.
And yes, you should ask me how much I can bench.

Results
In their words
“Since starting strength training, my flexibility, mobility and strength have greatly improved. It takes a personal commitment with a knowledgeable trainer like Sumi.”
Bob Faber · Personal training
“She also helped me train while pregnant, and taught me so much about what I could do to stay fit. During my first pregnancy, I was afraid to do too much, but this time, with Sumi’s help, I stayed strong and kept fit.”
Mary H. · Pre-natal training
“Thanks to your online coaching, I’m enjoying my super fit bod, be it hiking, soccer or my latest fav, ice-skating. With shedding those few pounds, I have gained so much confidence.”
