Meet our new Healthy Living Director, Dion Merrill! |
|
|
|
| My name is Dion Merrill. I'm an IFBB Professional Bodybuilder and have spent the past 15 years working as a health and fitness professional.
I started out in sport-specific athletic training, where I had the pleasure of working with a remarkably wide range of athletes; anyone from NFL players like Khalil Mack and LeSean "Shady" McCoy to nationally ranked figure skaters and Little League players. From there, I shifted my focus to chiropractic care, physical therapy, and rehabilitation, spending five years learning how to safely bring athletes and everyday individuals back to full health. |
|
|
|
I feel genuinely blessed to have worked alongside the people I have, and grateful for everything they've taught me along the way. That path ultimately led me to the YMCA, where I get to bring all of that knowledge and experience to serving our wonderful members here in Cranberry Township. |
