Your First Job: Officially, Rocky Mountain Motocross Association... registration, entry, results, etc.
Your Wellness Philosophy: Health, wellness, fitness, beauty, taking time to recharge and maintaining a positive attitude. I concentrate on total health and wellness starting with a positive mindful outlook mixed with a consistent healthy diet, daily exercise, and remembering to take time to relax and recharge giving me more energy and a clear mind.
Childhood Ambition:
To work for National Geographic, traveling and taking pictures all over the world.

Indulgence: Traveling to different counties and cooking
Inspirations: There is not one person that I would want to emulate myself after, but there are various people that I admire, such as my 6th grade science teacher who taught me to follow my passions; my grandmother who taught me to never stop living; and my grandfather who taught me compassion.

A Message From Keith
Pura Vida Members,
 Currently there are over 30 health clubs and gyms to chose from in the Denver market. It is an astounding number and one that I am fully cognizant of 24 hours day, 7 days a week. Many of these are 'fly-by-night' propositions: a FOR LEASE sign on a storefront, an enthusiastic and perhaps marginally capitalized individual or group that feels strongly that Denver needs another choice. There is usually and abundance of passion, but not a lot of know-how. Although I applaud entrepreneurship, I do often question some of the decisions made (location, marketing, pricing, membership growth plans, etc) and wonder if these places were opened for the right reason. At the other end of the spectrum are the big box health clubs that move into a market and feel fully confident that the new club can (and must) cannibalize everything within a 5-mile radius. These are large, corporate driven entities that review the monthly income statements, look only at the bottom line, assess, and move on to reviewing the next property in the next city and state. The actual member never, ever comes into the conversation. I understand this perhaps better than I should only because I've been there...I've lived that life.
When Pura Vida was just a twinkle in the eye of J. Madden, the process of deciding what exactly the business should be, and what it should stand for never once waivered: the best health and fitness club in Colorado and certainly one of the best in the country. (J. has a bit of experience with health clubs, as you might know, with Greenwood Athletic Club being founded 23 years back and boasting a membership of over 4,000 happy members.) Within the first year of opening, Pura Vida garnered numerous awards for architecture and design, as well as nabbing "Best Health Club" in Denver as reader's choice in 5280 Magazine. Most every lifestyle magazine in Denver has lauded the club with the mention of "Best of the Best" through awards and accolades. This summer Nectar Spa was announced through Condé Nast Magazine as being one of the world's best spas on their "Hot List 100". I want to say that again...The WORLD's Hot List!
Sixteen month's into this journey, Pura Vida continues to receive awards and kudos. I believe that the acclaim will continue to come as we continue to refine the club and make smart decisions. Pura Vida does not fit into either health club category mentioned above; we are not a club that was thrown together without a very serious plan in place, nor are we a corporate-driven business that forgets about the most important thing of all, the member. We are a hybrid of local smarts and intuition as well as the savvy of national and international brands that search for the newest and best in all things health and fitness related. Wow! That sounds a bit 'big-headed', but I think we should be proud of what we have accomplished in a relatively short amount of time. And when I say 'we' I mean not only the tremendous staff of Pura Vida and Nectar, but you, the member, as well. You helped us get to where we are today. We couldn't have done it without you and for that, thank you!
Please take some time to read through this month's 411. As we prepare for a very busy and dynamic fall season. We are beginning to introduce some fantastic new programs that you should absolutely take advantage of. Also, as a reminder, if you have any friends or colleagues who are considering membership at Pura Vida, the new member increase in monthly dues goes into effect Tuesday, September 1. They will have through Monday evening to join the club at the founder's rate. The increase does not affect you, our current member.
Finally, we would be honored if you took a moment to click on the link to vote for Pura Vida in the Best of Denver Ch. 7 A-list awards.
Thank you all for being a part of our Pura Vida community and culture.
Keith

Holistic Nutrition
FRESH SWEET CORN
 It's in season, local, and fresh; and time to take advantage of summer grilling with this inconspicuous grain. CORN! Though fairly high in sugar (corn is mostly a carbohydrate), it is also high in essential vitamins and minerals, and contains about 10-15% protein. Fresh corn (not corn by-products) contain vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium, and is fairy rich in thiamine (B1). Corn is also being praised for its high amounts of ferulic acid, a cancer fighting antioxidant. This antioxidant increases the longer the corn is cooked. So, grab some sweet corn from your local farmers market and take advantage of the last few weeks of summer grillin' with this nourishing whole food!
Don't be afraid to butter it up, the real, whole, buttery deal! Butter is a natural healing aid, helping you break down cholesterol, maintain healthy functioning adrenal and thyroid glands, maintain a healthy digestion system, and is high in antioxidants A and E.
For further nutrition advice or assessments, contact Sara Kosick, CPT, NTP at 303.321.7872 x 134 or sarak@puravidaclub.com.

| 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.
