Todd Haley
Membership Coordinator
What an honor it is to finally get the chance to serve Pura Vida's members on a more personal level. I know the Club can be a foreign landscape for newcomers (and experienced members alike) and that, in turn, causes confusion and frustration. Help is here and I'm thrilled to get the chance to show you what Pura Vida has to offer.
Whether it's the unique classes we offer, a professional spa treatment, a toned body with one of our Personal Trainers, or an introduction to Kinesis, the right foot starts here. I want you to make the most out of your membership - by utilizing me, you can achieve your fitness goals and smile about it. I have an extensive background in club culture, and as a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Specialist, I plan on fitting you with instructors that meet your every need. I promise no detail will be overlooked.
Please drop by my office anytime - on the 3rd floor (Fitness Floor) across from the Fitness Concierge Desk or just ask any Personal Trainer. I look forward to meeting you all and starting this summer on the path to a healthier and more fit you! After all, this is your Pura Vida, so enter your sanctuary and embody the good life! PURA VIDA!

A Message From Keith
Pura Vida Members,
Colorado, once again, has been named the "slimmest state" according to a recent New York Times article.  It isn't a surprise that with the myriad of outdoor activities, Coloradans once again came out on top. What's of keen interest to me in these reports is that they do not show that Colorado also has the highest number of fitness club memberships, per capita, than any other US city. What this means is that not only are we enjoying the great outdoors, but we are using our health clubs in tandem. It is not unusual for me to run into members (or Mr. Fit himself, J.) who biked (or ran) over to the club, spent time on the fitness floor and then enjoyed a class. It can be somewhat misleading to use the title "slimmest state" without digging deeper into what this actually means. When you dig a bit deeper into the percentages, and graphs and averages, what appears to be almost solely aesthetic in title, actually tells a far more exciting story: Our children are healthier, our students get more exercise, our neighbors experience less weight-related illnesses and we (you and I) are experiencing a fuller and healthier lifestyle.
At Pura Vida, the whole team spends a good deal time talking about our members; we have Monday morning team meetings, departmental meetings, spa meetings, service desk meetings...and the key component to each of these meeting is you, the member. Are we living up to our reputation of being the best in Denver? Is perception reality? Why are we falling into the old fitness paradigm when we can do it different...better? We strive to create an environment that is unlike any other and that you feel you want to be a part of. The question however, begs to be asked...what do the members think? With the statistics and information above, we want to insure that we are a part of your life.
We have made continued changes to Pura Vida in the past six months in an attempt to refine your experience. I am fortunate that we have a group of members who are not shy, and ready and willing to share their thoughts, but I'd like to hear more. Remember, we're doing this for you and to remain at the top of our game and to be proud of our achievements, we need to insure you are happy and that Pura Vida's perception is indeed its reality.
Please take a moment to send me a quick email and tell me how you are...and how we're doing. Good, bad, indifferent. I'd love to hear from you.
Looking forward to a terrific summer together!
Keith

Pilates
Pura Vida Pilates Philosophy
 We can make everything you do better! At Pura Vida, we first and foremost we are dedicated to the teachings of Joseph H. and Clara Pilates. We also believe your Pilates program should be fun, achievable and show measurable results physically, mentally and spiritually. Partnership in achieving your goals is paramount and we offer you a pathway to set and assess your goals and help you meet them in a reasonable time frame. We believe in whole body health and whole body commitment.
Establishing Your Program
Getting established in a Pilates program is like learning a new language. One can expect there is a learning curve. However, you will feel results immediately after your first session. One of the most effective ways to achieve results with Pilates is to embody it and learn it. We have designed a program and pathway for you to do just that and we are here to help you every step of the way to ensure your success.
Beginning Your Pilates Pathway - JumpStart!
JumpStart! includes 8 individual sessions and 4 small group apparatus classes, called Pilates Circuit. In these initial sessions you'll learn your program and foundational philosophies as well as individual exercises you need personally. Your program will be refined and continued in Pilates Circuit. During JumpStart! you learn the names of the exercises and equipment. You partner with your instructor to change springs, set up the apparatus and begin to understand the dynamics of doing your program solo.
After JumpStart! - Pilates Circuit and Team Training
Continue with individual sessions available in packages for both a hour and half hour increments. Continue with Pilates Circuit or participate in small group class trainings of two to three individuals, called Team Training. The later is scheduled by your instructor personally and are taught at specific group levels. At Pura Vida we will not have group classes with large discrepancies in participant skill levels. After a period of time and upon instructor approval you can participate in Open Gym privileges.
Open Gym - Own and refine your program; Free with your membership! Open Gym is offered exclusively at Pura Vida and is part of your membership. Evaluation and approval from a Pilates instructor is required prior to Open Gym privileges. At this level you must understand your program, respect the Pilates apparatus and abide by all studio policies. In Open Gym, pull your program, review it and begin to execute it. Open Gym is staffed with a Pilates instructor expertly coaching when you need. Members who have been currently doing Pilates may be evaluated and participate in Open Gym time slots starting in July.
Pilates Challenge - Congratulations to Derin Heiter!
In the last 411, a challenge question was posed for members. The question, "What is the apparatus that Joseph Pilates designed for every home and hotel?" was answered correctly by Derin Heiter, a Pilates enthusiasts and new member! Derin receives a private session for his correct answer. Thank you to those who called and left answers. Here's clarification on some of them. The Pilates Stick is a newer creation and while an interesting device, it was not created by Pilates. Nor was the rubber tubing or dynabands used in some Pilates classes.
Next Pilates Challenge - Why is the reformer apparatus called a "reformer"? Email answers by June 19th to Colleeng@puravidaclub.com.
PILATES AT THE FITNESS EXPO
 We have three classical chairs in the Pura Vida studio and several innovative renditions to the original design, all of which will be used for the Fitness Expo. The Chair was inspired by equipment used to train Chinese acrobats and circus performers. It was one of the first home pieces of exercise equipment originally designed as both an exercise apparatus and also as a functional piece of furniture. Chair exercises provide increased proprioceptive challenges through constant changes in the center of gravity, base of support, variable spring loads, and exercise complexity building a high degree of strength, balance, agility, coordination and control, which transfer functionally to recreational and athletic activities.
How Can You Experience the Chair? During Fitness Expo there  will be Pilates Circuit Sessions, taught by Jonathan and other Pilates staff, so you can experience the Chair as well as other apparatus. In the stretching areas on the fitness floor, the latest chair innovation the MVe Chair can be experienced with instruction by Stacy Lei during the Fitness Expo. Download the Fitness Expo schedule and reserve your space today!
For any questions about Pilates, contact Colleen Glenn at colleeng@puravidaclub.com or 303-321-7872 Extension 157.

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.
