Weight Gain During the Holidays
 
The statistics vary, but it has been reported that Americans gain an average of 5-12 pounds between Halloween and New Year's Day. This doesn't have to be YOU. One way to prevent this is to sign up for a Nutrition Consultation with me, which consists of two hour-long meetings to design a personalized plan for you and learn the strategies needed to make your program work.

Another way to prevent weight gain is to request a FREE recipe "makeover" during the month of November. Drop off your favorite recipe and I'll send you back a healthier version for you to enjoy.

Take charge now and make this season a healthier one for you and your loved ones.

Feel free to contact me with any questions at 303.999.2934 or
DrKathleen@PuraVidaClub.com.

A Minute with Molly

hibiscusIt is my sincere pleasure to say "Pura Vida" to all of our members as we join together tonight to celebrate nearly seven months of membership. This will be the first of many annual Pura Vida "members and friends" parties to come.

Pura Vida - Spanish for "Pure Life" The law of the land in Costa Rica. The expression is used in many forms, from a greeting to a synonym for "excellent." Ticos follow this life style and are some of the most wonderful people on earth. A synonym of "hakuna matata." Life is wonderful, enjoy it.

Fall into Spring is definitely our "peak" season in the fitness and spa industry. We've been spoiled by a long lasting, beautiful Summer into Fall, and the cooler weather is finally here. All of us have felt the increase in energy as our membership base has absolutely "boomed" during the months of September and October.

For our members who've been with us since day one - thank you for your referrals! For our "newbies" - we're happy you've chosen us as your community for fitness and wellness. We anticipate the membership boom to continue into 2009. I encourage you to take advantage of the party this evening to get to know a few members you haven't met yet. We are growing - rapidly - every day and this opportunity to connect with your fellow members is not to be missed.

This is also an opportunity for our team members to thank you, our members, for the community you create here and the joy you bring to us each day.

I look forward to enjoying the good life with you this evening with food, fun, and friendship here at Pura Vida.

Cheers to your health,

Molly Kemmer
General Manager
