About Reem Jishi
Reem has an undergraduate degree in Chemistry from the University of Rochester and a law degree from the University of Michigan Law School. She practiced as an attorney for fifteen years, most recently as a Vice President with Wyeth. In late 2009, Reem made the decision to retire from Corporate America and begin a new journey as a coach and fitness studio owner.
While practicing as an attorney, Reem also competed in triathlons and bike racing. Reem first participated in triathlon in 2000 and competed in Ironman Lake Placid in 2001. In 2002, she began racing her bike and in 2005 co-founded the Advil ChapStick Women’s Professional Cycling Team. Reem was a member of Advil ChapStick for three seasons, racing at the national level. In 2009, Reem returned to triathlon and focused on sprint and intermediate distance events.
The high point of her 2009 season was a second place finish in her age group at the NYC Triathlon. In 2010 & 2011, Reem earned All American Honorable Mention Honors.
Reem has coached all levels of triathletes, cyclists and runners. Having spent a decade working 60 hours a week and also training for triathlon and bike racing, she knows the difficulty of balancing training with real life and the importance of getting the most out of every training session.
