It is a sad time in the world of MMA and at Toe2Toe Fitness. The loss of Sherri Thompson has rocked many peoples lives because Sherri has impacted many people's lives! Sherri was found dead in her apartment on Tuesday morning. She died from a cardiac disarythmia. It is believed that she died quickly.
Sherri has been a vital part of the Georgia fighting community for over 10 years. She has worked at just about every gym in the Atlanta area, helping to groom numerous fighters (male and female) into what they are today. Whether cornering a fighter, working behind the scenes, or just hanging out in the crowd, you always saw Sherri at all the local fights. It’s not going to seem the same without her there.
Even more than what she did for the fighting community, she impacted people’s lives through her love of life! “Embrace your crazy” was her motto, and that she did! She just had a special way of making everyone feel good, even when she was “torturing” students in her kickboxing classes. I don’t know how many other women could get away with calling so many men (pro fighters included) “Princess” or “Sparkle Nuts” or "Twinkle Toes".
We will miss her spunky-ness at Toe2Toe Fitness and have been blessed by having her as our Cardio kickboxing instructor and our Striking coach for the last few months. Let's all celebrate her life and EMBRACE YOUR CRAZY!!
