A Message From Keith
 When eating bamboo sprouts, remember the man who planted them. Chinese Proverb
November is the month of gratitude and thanksgiving, and at Pura Vida we have much to be thankful for. We have been welcoming many new members into the Pura Vida lifestyle these past few months. Our group fitness classes have expanded from an initial offering of 60 classes to over 90 on a weekly basis, the Pilates department has taken off, Yoga at Pura Vida has become one of the most sought after programs in the city and Nectar Spa continues refining its services and product line, translating into one of Denver's destination day spas...all looks rosy, right?
The club has always been presented as YOUR club...your refuge, your escape. From day one we have had members who were excited that the club was quiet and uncrowded, yet conversely we have members who were concerned that the club was quiet with not enough people and low energy. I am happy to say we are growing into a club that now has both options available, depending on what time of day you decide to visit.
The proverb above is one I try to remember not only each year at Thanksgiving, but each day. Pura Vida would not be what it is today and what it was intended to be without you supporting the club during its very early infancy. As we at Pura Vida enjoy growth and feel thankful for our hard work this past year, I thank our charter members for having faith and believing the dream. As well, I thank our new members for listening to your friends! For trusting that we would deliver to you the best fitness and wellness experience in Colorado. You won't be disappointed.
As we continue to grow it is extremely important that we continue to check in with you, our member, and to communicate where we have been, where we are going, and how we plan to experience 2010. With club growth comes growing pains. Ultimately these pains happen as we refine and experience increased business. It all means we are growing up to be a strong, healthy club that is ready for the new year. Kind of like our members! What is important as we grow is feedback. Your comments and thoughts change the way we do business. We rely heavily on your suggestions, thoughts, rants and raves. They are important to us as professionals. Below is a link to the first Pura Vida member survey. We have worked hard compiling questions and creating the survey and I would be grateful...Thankful!...if you would take 5 minutes and respond. Member Survey
Thank you all for your friendship and your support and advocacy of Pura Vida. Have a safe and healthy Thanksgiving.

 with Roseanna Frechette

The session will begin with a brief inquiry into the dynamics of a changing season and the meaning of solstice.

Did You Know?
According to the National Institute of Health, Americans gain about a pound of weight during the winter holiday season and do not lose it.
It may not seem like much but it adds up! Scheduling time for physical activity into your PDA just like any other commitment will make you more likely to stick to it during the busy holidays.
The average Thanksgiving dinner contains 3000 calories, not including the calories consumed snacking before the meal. According the Dr. Cedric Bryant, ACE chief exercise physiologist, "a 160 lb. person would have to run at a moderate pace for four hours, swim for five hours or walk 30 miles to burn off a 3,000-calorie Thanksgiving Day meal."
Get a jump start on those calories by avoiding dishes you have all year like mashed potatoes and taking a walk after the big meal. Eggnog can have up to 400 calories in one 8 ounce glass! Be sure to keep track of the holiday drinks you enjoy because those calories can add up quickly!
Regular physical activity can help maintain weight, improve your mental health and mood, help you sleep better, improve your well-being and reduce stress.
Enjoying a filling and healthy snack before attending holiday parties, staying hydrated and avoiding having conversations near the buffet will help you control your munching.
Starting holiday traditions that involve physical activity, like a game of flag football during the halftime show or taking a walk around the Denver Zoo to see the Zoo Lights (starts December 11th) will help you stay healthy and enjoy time with friends and family!
