Background

About Cheryl Ridall

I am a seasoned business professional with 20+ years of leadership experience in the health, wellness, and athletic sectors. I have honed a diverse set of skills that empower organizations to achieve excellence in operational and wellness innovation. As a Senior Regional Director at Club One, I led transformative corporate fitness and wellness programs across 25 facilities, driving strategic initiatives that optimized both organizational performance and individual wellbeing. This role paved the way for my contributions at The Trail Conservancy, where my strategic vision and program development skills came to the forefront in helping to craft a strategic roadmap for sustained growth and community engagement. I additionally utilized my attention to detail and organizational skills through bridging the Office Manager role responsibilities until a full time employee was hired. Prior to the above, I was an Assistant Women's Swimming Coach for 10 years in a top 10 Division One program at the University of Texas working with elite level student-athletes at one of the country’s highest ranked athletic departments. This experience contributed to my success in working with a broader population in fitness and wellness. My academic background, having earned a Master’s degree in Sports Science & Coaching from the United States Sports Academy and a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology & Exercise Science from Temple University, supports my vigorous approach to wellness and athletic coaching. Effective communication and public speaking are at the core of my professional approach, allowing me to forge strong relationships and advocate for health and wellbeing education. My commitment towards excellence is further evidenced by the development of targeted wellness programs like the Women’s Swim for Fitness initiative, which not only boosted community engagement, yet also highlighted my ability to blend innovative program development with practical execution. I am very eager to apply my strategic acumen and leadership capabilities in a senior role, continuing to champion health and wellness innovations that foster an environment of growth and positive change. I am passionate about leveraging my skill set to contribute towards an organization where cutting-edge wellness programs are not just implemented, but are a cornerstone of the company culture.
