Our Leader

Sher Harris was introduced to fitness after surgery on both feet in 1980. Pushing through it she started going to exercise class and before long became a Jazzercise instructor, certified through I.D.E.A. (International Dance Exercise Association) in early 1982 and received her first CPR certification through the American Red Cross. Sher took her program to neighborhoods in Dallas, Tx where large clubs were few. 

For nearly 40 years, Sher has been teaching in recreation centers, church gyms, and sanctuaries from city to city. Sher aims to empower and inspire people to embrace their uniqueness and to live healthier lives. With a burning desire to minister to the whole being, Sher began by designing programs that were not only healthy, but fun! Programs that encouraged dancing with moves and music that uplifted the spirit! Sher has become one of the best and most well-liked fitness instructors around. She has received numerous awards for her work from the fitness industry, local community leaders, and the media. At 70, Sher continues to teach 3 to 4 aerobic classes a week, participate in weight lift training and has appeared in several exercise videos and cable television shows sharing her passion for fitness, inspiring people of all ages on their paths to happier, healthier living. 

Sher has a Bachelor’s Degree in Ministry and Counseling, is a Certified Senior Fitness Instructor and Certified Group Fitness Instructor. Whether inspiring large audiences through fitness classes or ministering one on one, Sher brings her exuberance and passion for good health and fitness to every life she touches.  Moving to teaching exclusively in Active Adult Senior facilities and Senior Center's is the next goal of Body by U Fitness.
