Born in Thailand and raised in the UK, Sharon moved to Sydney over seven years ago. Competitive from the very beginning, she recalls the day she became frustrated when the boys suddenly started beating her at swimming competitions – a shift she couldn’t understand at the time.

Throughout her youth, Sharon competed in every sport available, eventually reaching the National level in Biathlon for three consecutive years, and representing her university in Swimming and Water Polo. After graduating and losing easy access to organised sport, she discovered the weights room, experimenting with her own training and movement before fully transitioning into the fitness industry in 2018 in Sydney.

Sharon has admired 98 for many years, valuing its ethos of accountability and the idea of leaving one’s ego at the door – principles she instils in the members she coaches. Her goal is to inspire people to love moving their bodies, to understand the benefits of training, and to put in the hard work so they can enjoy the mental and physical rewards it brings.
