Yuhui Chen from the Rotary Club of Menlo Park is excited to serve as Rotary International District 5150 Governor for the Rotary year 2026-2027.
YuHui Chen’s journey began in Taiwan. But for the past 15 years, she has wholeheartedly embraced Palo Alto, California, as her true home. Guided by a deep conviction that true fitness encompasses the spirit, body, and mind, Yuhui founded SBM Fitness in 2010—not simply to inspire exercise, but to empower others to build lasting wellness, nurture self-belief, and embrace meaningful lifestyle changes.
Service is at the heart of everything Yuhui does. For over 13 years, she has been an enthusiastic and dedicated member of the Rotary Club of Menlo Park, proudly serving as Club President in 2018 and leading numerous initiatives as District Vocational Service Chair and Rotary Means Business Committee Chair. One of her most profound experiences came in 2019, when she traveled to Uganda with 30 fellow Rotarians to install a clean water system for a community in need—a transformative journey that deepened her passion for global service and human connection.
Yuhui shares her commitment to making a difference with her partner, Daniel Geraldi, the Rotary District 5160 Governor for 2024–2025. Together, they pour their energy and compassion into Rotary’s mission, always seeking new ways to bring positive change to both local neighborhoods and distant communities. Yuhui’s adult children, Mia and Sean, are her steadfast supporters, actively participating in both her business and Rotary, and contributing their time and talents to community events.
For Yuhui, Rotary is far more than service—it’s a source of inspiration, growth, and belonging. She is deeply grateful for the extraordinary people she’s met, the communities she’s been able to serve, and the perspective she’s gained on leadership, generosity, and the power of bringing people together to change lives
