PURification: Surviving & Thriving in a Toxic World

Many health problems stem from the constantly dabbing, spraying, and imbibing/inhaling more chemicals from the air, water, foods, and from our vehicles and medications than ever before, suffocating of our cells and vital energy. These problems may be prevented or treated at least in part and often dramatically by embarking on a process of detoxification. This is the 'natural' way to heal!

When you detoxify your body, you open the door to healing and rejuvenation.

PURification, a program created by Dr. Kathleen Gross, D.C., is a cellular, liver and metabolic cleansing program which has many benefits including improved digestion, increased energy, better sleep, improved mental clarity, and the potential for some weight loss while on the plan. She has guided hundreds safely through this program. You can benefit as well by signing up now.

Next classes begin
April 6th & April 7th

A Message From Keith Moore

Spring has sprung!
 
I say this with an exclamation point and good deal of elation. Although we experienced a very mild winter and it has felt like Spring for the last few weeks, the changing of the season is an exciting time, particularly as we move into the warmer months. Much of our group fitness programming beginning in April will take a slant with the "great outdoors" in mind. Our goal is to make sure that you are ready for all that Colorado has to offer this Spring and Summer. Look for a progressive outdoor Boot Camp this Spring, as well as cardio kick-boxing, additional yoga programs, and additional mid-morning and afternoon group fitness classes - all in the hopes that these added offerings will motivate and prepare you for the months ahead.
 
As well you will notice new equipment on the fitness floor these next few weeks: rowing machines are in place, an additional full rack of dumbbells, a preacher curl bench and other miscellaneous pieces will be available soon. The items we have ordered were direct requests from our members, and we are happy to make your time at Pura Vida more enjoyable and to fulfill your needs.
 
Our goal this Spring is to renew. To reinvigorate and refresh the club with new classes, new events, new seminars, new programs. By no coincidence does this desire for all things "new" fall into the month of April. . . we're celebrating our one year anniversary! We are determined to celebrate throughout the month of April and to share the anniversary with each of you on April 23rd with a tremendous celebration. Look for more details throughout the club in the weeks ahead but do mark your calendars now.
 
As we begin to see the trees in Cherry Creek budding, the daffodils blooming, and the day's light extending into the late afternoon, it's difficult to feel anything but thankful. The world, even through its current chaos, always sends small signals that things will be okay. . . life can (and will) go on . . . and we all will come out of the current situation if not 'better', then at least changed. And change is a good thing. Each of you visit Pura Vida in the process of change: a better, healthier lifestyle, the need to clear your head and remedy stress, the desire to be better. To renew. And Spring is about renewal. Thank you for allowing Pura Vida to be a part of your life and to share the new season with you.Keith Moore

Member Parking
Please remember the following tips for successful parking in the 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.
