PURification: A Healthy Way to Jump Start Weight Loss
PURification is a cellular, liver and metabolic cleansing program which has many benefits including improved digestion, increased energy, better sleep, improved mental clarity, and the added bonus of some weight loss while on the plan.
I needed to reduce my body fat to be optimally well, especially around my mid-section and I imagined it would be very difficult. However the eating plan that is a part of my PURification program really supports this outcome and the dietary changes are really not that drastic. I feel that hardest part is DECIDING that you are going to do it and committing to giving 100%. If you can do that, you too can see results!
On 10.6.08 I began my program and decided to continue through 11.24.08. These small changes, practiced CONSISTENTLY over time resulted in tremendous benefit; I was able to reduce my body fat from 26% to 19%.
Next classes begin January 12 & 13. Contact Dr. Kathleen for more information at 303.999.2934 or
DrKathleen@PuraVidaClub.com.

A Minute with Molly
Dear Members,
Due to a broken pump on the rooftop, significant water damage was sustained in the yoga studio early Tuesday morning.
Insurance has responded quickly, a restoration crew has been engaged and repairs are happening as quickly as possible.
The repairs required are extensive, including flooring, ceiling, HVAC, AV, and drywall.
Please click here for a PDF of our updated TEMPORARY CLASS SCHEDULE effective 12/8, which will be in place until further notice - through the duration of the repairs. The temporary schedule currently in place for this weekend only (12/7) is available here.
We will have a more concrete ETA for restoring the studio and returning to our regular class schedule once the damage is assessed in full.
Regular updates regarding the progress will be released as soon as they are made available.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your flexibility as we do our best to hold as many regularly scheduled classes as possible.
Please direct any specific concerns or questions to me via email or my direct number, below.
THANK YOU to those of you who have responded with understanding, suggestions, and encouragement. Our membership here is truly amazing!
Now....getting back to the usual focus of my letter: YOU.
Is there a more stressful time of year than the holiday season (particularly this holiday season)? The most important gift to give yourself is maintaining your commitment to exercise and to stay well. It's even more important now, than ever.
Here is a quick list of ideas to keep you on track with your exercise commitment:
1. Have your workout bag with all needed clothing items and a water bottle in the back of your vehicle at all times (or rent a permanent locker at the club, which includes laundry service) - leave yourself with no excuses.
2. Print out a schedule of classes and highlight the ones that you are interested in attending; post it at your work station.
3. Don't make any stops in between work and the club. Commit to 20 minutes - chances are, you'll stay for the entire workout, once you're here.
4. Envision how frustrated you will be with yourself for not completing your fitness goal of the day.
5. Tell yourself that you will not compromise your health because of work, errands, etc.
6. Remind yourself that your only opportunity to capitalize on today is making sure you are progressive with your fitness goals today.
7. Reward yourself with a nice hot bath or your favorite healthy meal for your post-workout time.
8. Meeting a training partner or making a personal training appointment is a strong reinforcement for your commitment.
Adapted from www.getactivemagazine.com fall issue; see www.fitnesscure.com for more fitness words of wisdom.
Now more than ever - focus on what you CAN control. Commit to your health!
Be well,
Molly Kemmer
General Manager

| Member Parking
|
Please remember the following tips for successful parking in the attached Fillmore Place garage:
Keep your parking ticket safe from creases, wrinkles, oils, or damage as all of these potentially demagnetize the validation and it will not read properly.
Each stamp is valid for up to three hours validation, per visit.
Present your ticket for validation upon entry to the club so you do not forget to get your stamp before you leave.
If you experience trouble with the validator at the garage exit, please look carefully at the machine; there is a phone key pad and signage directing you through an auto-dialer system, through which the parking garage management may assist you. As directed on the sign, please dial *1#, and if you do not receive an answer, move on to *2#. If you do not receive an answer, dial *3#. By following the sequential order, you will eventually reach the assigned parking garage manager on duty, who will ask you a series of questions in attempt to assist you and may activate the gate release remotely, if needed.
