| Member Parking |
Please remember the following tips for successful parking in the Fillmore Place garage:
All vehicles must have a Pura Vida parking decal while parked on the third floor.
Please see Member Services for your decal.
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.

A Message From Keith
Pura Vida Members,
 I have a confession to make. One that frankly, has me a bit freaked-out: In the past twelve month's I have gained twenty pounds. Twenty! This is not something that most managers of health clubs would want to place in the member newsletter. I contemplated this as I was driving to work this morning. "Is this really something that needs to be broadcast to 900 members? Doesn't this show weakness and lack of will power? Doesn't this make a statement...about Pura Vida?" No, actually. It makes a statement about me and I feel there are most likely some strong similarities between me and you, our member.
When I told my eleven year old daughter, Maddie, that I had put on twenty pounds she laughed and said "Dad, you're still skinny...just not in the stomach area". I suppose if Denver is stricken with famine, my added weight will give me a couple more weeks to enjoy Colorado's beautiful scenery.
Two things happened this past year that I have realized attributed to this change: I became consumed in making Pura Vida successful and the best health club in Denver, and I refused to accept that I was now middle aged. The first point: Although I live my life in a health club, I am still seated in an office, tucked away in the back of the club at a desk with a computer and a telephone. I spend an inordinate amount of time responding to emails, working on strategic plans with the staff and dealing with voice mail. In other words...I do most likely what you do throughout the day. It's incredibly difficult to pull myself away and take time for 'me', and with a complete fitness floor above me and a few short steps away, if I have difficulty finding the time, I most certainly know that you do.
Secondly, middle age: I am 42 years old (by the way, my fantastic sales team explained to me that I was 42, not 43 years old...as I have been thinking since August of last year. Isn't that incredible?!). The twenty pounds that I gained somehow snuck-up on me without me really noticing. My body somehow decided that it was not necessary to tell me that things were going to change. I rarely weighed myself because I was always the same weight since college. Slowly, things started to slow down, to shift and morph and one day I stood in front of a full length mirror in profile and was aghast to see that 'POOF', I had turned into my dad...soft and creamy middle center and all.
I share this harrowing tale with you for one reason: If getting to Pura Vida is difficult for you, I feel your pain. If your body went through a change secretly behind your back, without even a 30-day notice.,.I feel for you. If this transformation has never happened to you...if it reads like a Stephen King novel perhaps called "It", stay focused and keep up the good work!
So what happens now? What is next and where do I begin? First off, the Pura Vida training staff has come to the rescue. We have added 30-minute personal training express packages which I encourage everyone to take advantage of. I can now meet with a trainer once a week (30 minutes at a time) to insure that I am going in the right direction. It keeps me accountable and is an enormous help as far as encouragement. I am also involved in Pilates once a week which is helping tremendously in reshaping my body and clearing my mind. Colleen Glenn has recently added a spectacular package that makes Pilates accessible and affordable. Finally, I will be reaching out to Sara Kosick who has developed an amazing Holistic Nutrition program. I will be getting a full review of my diet and Sara will be working with me on designing a better way of nutritional intake.
Pura Vida has always been about integrated health. We never wanted to be a "gym"...and we certainly have the team to help all of us realize a better way of living. With the new packages in place, we've made it easy to create a tailored approach to insure that you have support and road map to get there. Membership Coordinator Todd Haley will be happy to meet with you and discuss the options.
Please look for a new svelte and muscular me roaming the club. And if you find me at my desk buried in emails and the day-to-day bog, feel free to tell me to snap out of it! And to get myself upstairs and enjoy the good life!
To health and Pura Vida!
Keith

Pilates
A DIFFERENT FLARE FOR PILATES - PILATES MAT FUSION
 included with your membership
Tuesday 9:30-10:30 am Colleen
Thursday 5:45-6:45pm Jonathan
Sunday 4-5 pm Ann
Joseph Pilates created apparatus called mat and reformer. The mat was a piece of equipment with dowels to hold onto and straps attached to the end of it for support and assistance. It was a thicker, more giving mat as opposed to yoga or other similar mats placed on the floor and therefore easier on the spine.
However, with the popularity of Pilates, the concept of "Mat Pilates" in health clubs has proliferated with the misunderstanding of the original intention. Along with that, the original support needed to do the sequencing of progressive and strenuous floor exercises created by Joseph Pilates was eliminated too. While classes vary in popularity from facility to facility, those with open-ended and open enrollment rarely follow the traditional and progressive sequence or embody the true dynamics
Good exercise, however, is good exercise and many classes that espouse to be Pilates classes are really good fusion classes with Pilates concepts and exercises incorporated. This is what the new Pilates Mat Fusion classes are at Pura Vida, a sequence that follows tradition with a flare. Give it a try! See the new Pilates Mat Fusion class description on the web site for a bit more detail or call Colleen at 303-321-7872 x152.
