A Message From Keith
As many of our members have noticed, we have been taking the month of December to prepare the club for a very busy January. We expect this January to be our busiest month of the year. Below are some tips and suggestions that will make your experience at Pura Vida enjoyable and headache free:
· Parking is available to all Pura Vida members on the 3rd floor parking deck. If you find the deck full, you are permitted to park on the other floors in spaces that are not marked "Reserved". · We are in the process of developing a new system to exit the garage, however, please be cautious to keep your parking voucher away from all smart phones, particularly Blackberrys. · The best place to get up-to-date information on club happenings, classes, changes, etc. is at puravidaclub.com We update the website regularly. · Pura Vida is becoming known for its small semi-private group classes. Specialty programs have been developed in the hopes of giving you individualized attention. Please review at the Fitness Desk which classes in 2010 will require pre-registration and what the procedure entails. · A friendly reminder: Please no cell phones on the fitness floor. This was mentioned frequently in our member survey and it is indeed club policy. You may use your phone in the member lobby. · Pura Vida will be offering promotional personal training packages throughout 2010. These packages are sold at a considerable savings to you and will only be offered seasonally. · Member Social in January: location TBD, however this is a great month to meet many of the new members who have become a part of the Pura Vida family. I want to thank those who responded to our first Pura Vida survey. There were some fantastic suggestions and we are working diligently to implement what is feasible. With your suggestions, we plan to serve you better in the new year. Have a very happy holiday season - we look forward to seeing you at the club in the new year!
