Meet Team Muscle

Sharon Murphy-Dittrich

Sharon has been with Muscle Products Corp. since 1989. Her entry position evolved into management, and eventually, owner. 

History & Experience

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Sharon and her family spent most of their summers on a non-producing farm in London, Pennsylvania (a small community near Muscle’s current location). She fell in love with this area. In her thirties, she decided to move to the farm and commute to her job in Pittsburgh.

In 1989, Sharon became acquainted with the owner’s wife, Carol. She suggested Sharon interview with her husband for general office work. Sharon was hired, gave her two weeks’ notice at the Pittsburgh job, and started her new life chapter with Muscle in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Back then there were only a few additives on the market, only a few employees, and a handful of distributors in the USA. Over time, Muscle Products Corp. became internationally known, enlarged the distribution network, and moved to a much larger facility in Jackson Center, Pennsylvania (its present location).

Sharon's role in the company has changed over time as well… from customer service, to management, and in 2001, she acquired ownership. Today, she is 100% owner and CEO of Muscle Products Corp. While management is her key role, she makes sure to stay in touch with customers filling in as inside sales and support.

Sharon says, "The proudest moment in the company's history was when we moved to Jackson Center in 2005. We disassembled one plant and put it together in the new location. Surprisingly, we only broke one light bulb! Our customer orders were filled and shipped on time. We never skipped a beat. It was a tremendous effort by the entire team as we did the majority ourselves in a matter of months."

Sharon has been battling cancer since 2014. She says, "I am very thankful to be in remission."

Interests & Hobbies 

When asked about her interests and hobbies, Sharon shares, "My life encompasses the health of the business, my own health management, and the horses, dogs, and cats I’ve been blessed to know, care for, and love over the years. I get a kick out of being able to mow the grass, weed whack, and brush hog the fields a couple times a year. By God’s grace I will remain productive and continue to enjoy this life for many years to come."

Most Common Question About Muscle

Sharon says the most common question she is asked about the Muscle brand is, "Why haven't I heard about this product?" Sharon explains, "We do not spend thousands of dollars advertising nationally. We prefer our products be sold with the personal touch, so that we can service the client with the TLC we feel they deserve."
