MODELSPAY/WATER VIXEN SWIMWARE SHOOT Beverly Hills

Having trained with likes of Manny Pacquiao and competed in the prestigious Mr. Olympia competition, Sherry Espera is not your ordinary model. She is driven by an urge to inspire others to live a healthy and fit lifestyle through her workout routines and life journey. Since arriving in the U.S in 2014 from the Philippines, Sherry has enjoyed tremendous growth as a bikini fitness model.

Sherry emulates Bruce Lee, often finding inspiration from quotes such as “The successful warrior is the average man (or woman in Sherry’s case), with laser-like focus.” And true to the words of the legendary martial artist and actor, she conducts her workout routine with unyielding focus and determination. Even before she became a bikini fitness model, Sherry trained routinely 4 times a week. Aside from lifting, she is also passionate about martial arts and boxing. She hones her boxing skills by training 3 times a week. Her outgoing persona and dedication earned her the opportunity to meet and train with Manny Pacquiao. Sherry claims to admire the work ethic and humility of ‘Pac-Man.’

It takes year and years of everything ones got to become a pro athlete. It takes a personality that you’ve been born with and have cherished to stay focused. You grow up to be disciplined, focused, and determined. 

Those are the skills you’ll not lose, just because you stopped competing. Often people take those skills and channel it through different aspects of their lives, like in their career, parenthood, business, etc. Everyone can call themselves focused and hard working, but pro-athletes prove it with every competition whether they win or lose.
