Zumba instructor, medical student, and your guide to finding joy in movement.

Katie Sherman discovered her passion for Zumba shortly before relocating to Fort Wayne, bringing her energetic teaching style to Catalyst Fitness where she immediately connected with the supportive culture. Currently balancing her role as a Zumba instructor with medical school studies, Katie embodies the holistic approach to wellness that defines the Catalyst community—understanding that physical activity nourishes both body and soul.

Dancing Through Life's Challenges: Katie's philosophy that "working out feeds the body and soul" drives her enthusiastic approach to Zumba instruction. She emphasizes the mental health benefits of regular physical activity, especially during long winter months, and creates classes where participants forget they're working out because they're having so much fun. Her welcoming "more the merrier" attitude ensures that anyone feels comfortable joining her classes, even for just a song or two.

What Makes Katie Unique:

• Medical Background: Currently pursuing medical school while teaching, bringing a scientific understanding of fitness benefits.
• Community Builder: Creates an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome regardless of experience level.
• Sunrise Appreciator: Enjoys quiet Sunday mornings watching the sunrise with her dog and a cup of coffee.
• Balanced Achiever: Successfully juggles academic demands with her passion for dance and fitness.

When not leading energetic Zumba sessions or studying medicine, Katie enjoys watching movies or sports with friends and family and traveling to visit friends. Her goal for the next five years includes finishing medical school and residency while continuing to dance regularly and improve her technical skills as a Zumba instructor. Described as "enthusiastic, loud, and inviting," Katie lives by the motto "Life teaches, love reveals!" bringing this wisdom and joy to every class she leads.
