Meet the FOUNDERS

Niahn Ho

CO-FOUNDER & CEO

  • Having worked in several fitness spaces, I saw firsthand how intimidating and unwelcoming it can be. What frustrated me even more was how little was being done about this in the industry.

    So, to me, werk. gym means making fitness more accessible, more inclusive, and more welcoming for everyone.

  • I love weights! I love pushing myself to be stronger each session and makes me feel like a badass 💅

  • I had 6 dogs growing up 🐕

Phoebe Singer

CO-FOUNDER & CmO

  • I have always loved keeping active from a young age, it has been my escape, my social life and support. As I got older and joined gyms, I began to feel self-conscious for the first time. It shouldn’t be like that.

    werk. gym is my way of making sure everyone has that escape, social life and support, while keeping healthy mentally and physically.

  • It’s got to be dance! A dance class makes me sweat, makes me feel like a queen and always puts a smile on my face 🫶

  • I have been a dance National Champion in both the UK and Australia!
