Pearce would like to recognize Andrea Mercier as our October Member of the Month!
Andrea is an Associate Minister at Chillicothe Christian Church and has been a member at Pearce for 7 years.
When Andrea and her husband moved to Chillicothe in 2017, they were looking for a fitness center. They decided to join Pearce because of everything that is offered here. Andrea’s husband enjoys Bob Hentrich’s cycling classes.
When asked what she most enjoys about Pearce, she says “There’s so much to do for an individual or family. Our special needs son enjoys swimming & it is so helpful to us that you have a family changing room. The staff is also friendly & helpful.”
Having a Pearce membership is beneficial because investing in her physical health helps her be more present to God, her family, her friends and to those she has the honor of ministering to in her job. She also has heart disease, so it is super important to her that she takes care of herself physically.
Andrea’s favorite quote comes from 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, “Don’t you realize that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So, you must honor God with your body.”
In her free time, she enjoys coaching softball, playing golf and spending time with her handsome boys.
Andrea’s advice for fellow Pearce members: Don’t give up on yourself. You are worth the investment. Now, get to work! No step towards your physical (mental, emotional or spiritual) health is ever a small step.
Thank you, Andrea, for choosing to be a Pearce member!
