Simba – Sherpup at Sherpa Fit Westport CT

Simba, affectionately known as Sherpup, is the Airedale Director of HR and Head Greeter at Sherpa Fit Westport CT. Officially, she’s in charge of tail wags, warm welcomes, and keeping Jean on his toes. You’ll usually find her holding down the front lobby, making sure every client gets a proper greeting before their workout begins.

Simba takes her job seriously, balancing daily perimeter patrols (to monitor the squirrel situation), strategic napping in sunny spots, and supervising workouts without actually breaking a sweat. Some say she’s always around but never in the way, a rare skill in the gym world.

When she’s off duty, Simba can be found riding shotgun with the windows down and ears flapping, zooming after toys like a pro athlete, or lounging in the sun surrounded by his collection of squeaky stuffed animals. And if you bring treats or offer head scratches, you might just earn VIP status: Very Important Petter.
