Bio:

All her life, Merry has loved being active. Having grown up swimming competitively,
running cross-country, and road biking with her dad, Merry developed a passion for
staying active and challenging herself, physically and mentally. During college and
graduate school, Merry worked as an outdoor recreation guide and instructor, teaching
rock climbing, whitewater kayaking/rafting, and stand-up paddleboarding. After finishing
graduate school and working in behavioral health, she turned her passion into her job as a Personal Trainer and Fitness Specialist at a military gym. She spent her time
teaching spin and functional fitness classes, facilitating a swim (similar to Master’s
Swim) and run club, and organizing 5Ks. Additionally, she worked directly with military
members to improve their PT scores, specifically their run time. Since moving to
Colorado in 2024 and taking a little hiatus from fitness to work in adaptive outdoor
recreation, Merry is excited to return to working with folks and helping them achieve
their fitness goals!
