Sherry is a ball of energy and reveals how her weighted pom poms not only improve fitness, but also increase self-confidence and promote FUN! Women, men, Steve Harvey and even some “sharks” from Shark Tank have experienced her CheerKamp classes! #DoItWeighted
Sherry also speaks candidly about her personal struggles growing up in Tennessee, those summer in the pencil factory, and how you must always “pack a little sugar” “… because sipping on lemonade is always better than sipping on lemons.” The Two Fit Crazies may have teared up a bit from Sherry’s poignant stories about her ability to recognize that “internal health equals external beauty!”
