JASMINE PINA

Experience/
Current Course of Study:

Three years in the fitness industry, specializing in group fitness. I am currently focusing on growing as an instructor with Indoor Cycling, Indo-Row, Yoga Body, Fit Body, TRX and hopefully Pura Vida's MVE program.

Your First Job:
Wow! First job ever was in the mall food court and Chuckwagon Chili.

Your Wellness Philosophy:
I believe if you don't have your wellness, then you don't have anything.

Childhood Ambition:
You mean besides becoming a princess? I think it's fair to say, I always enjoyed being in the spotlight. I remember wanting to act, sing and dance.  

Proudest Accomplishment: First and foremost - my two children Ronin and Sloan. But I'd have to say landing my dream job and becoming team member of the month here at Pura Vida comes pretty close.

Indulgence:
Which one? I'd have to say that's a toss-up between burgers with fries and the spiciest chicken wings imaginable.

Inspirations:
I have been blessed with an unwavering passion for this industry. I want to help as many people as I can transform their bodies, their minds and their lives. I don't want to be a good wife, mother, instructor, and entrepreneur . . . I want to be an AMAZING one!

A Message From Keith

Happy New Year!
Keith MooreAt Pura Vida we take immense pride in offering the very best in fitness programming. A review of our class schedule and overall offerings show over one hundred classes available to Pura Vida members. The process of determining which class makes the schedule and which does not is surprisingly intricate and a bit like alchemy. What exactly turns into fitness gold is speculative and we watch the class participation numbers closely. I'm pleased to say that the start of the new year is showing member participation numbers at an all time high.
 
Studies have shown that achieving fitness goals increase significantly when you involve others in the process. Losing weight, improving performance, increasing flexibility...getting healthy in general is more likely attained when you involve one or more people in the process. Accountability and guidance are the key.

I encourage each of our members to participate in a minimum of one class a week. The menu of choices is varied, and our fitness team works hard to insure that there is a class for everyone. The schedule is developed to have an array of classes that are unique and far from ordinary. Our goal at Pura Vida mirrors your goal as a member: To make 2010 the healthiest and best year yet. We're here to help you realize your resolutions.
 
Below are my suggestions on getting involved in the club at a deeper level, which ultimately keeps your work-out fresh, holds you accountable and delivers results.
 
·  Indo-Row - Classes have started and we are perfecting the ultimate cardio and group fitness workout. These classes are for ALL levels and will add another dimension to your calorie burn.
·  MoVe - A little bit of Pilates with a lot of body sculpting. The class fills up quickly and reservations are necessary. It is definitely worth getting on the list to try this innovative and results-driven program.
·  Yoga - Pura Vida is becoming known as THE place to practice yoga. We continue to add classes and instructors due to demand and I am confident in saying we have the very best instructors in Colorado. Yoga is part of your membership and we encourage all members to get involved. Beginner? No problem. Review the class schedule and feel free to contact me, Todd or Heather with suggestions on where to begin.
·  WillPower & Grace - This class has become a national phenomenon, and rightfully so. Using mind, body and soul, this class gives you the ultimate workout. Prepare to be sore the next day! Stacey Lei Krauss created this program, and although it is in clubs nationally, only Pura Vida has Stacey on staff.
 
Take some time to review all of the other fantastic classes at Pura Vida at www.puravidaclub.com. Happy new year one and all. It's going to be a great 2010!

Keith

Holistic Nutrition
2010 HOLISTIC NUTRITION SERVICES with Sara Kosick
holistic nutrition
Initial Consultation: $99
In your initial consultation, we will evaluate your dietary history, specific nutrient needs, and personal nutrition goals. Holistic nutrition is about your individual needs and how we can best address them based on your specific body type. (This session will include a blood type assessment to provide the foundation of your personalized dietary program ($20))

Follow-up Sessions: $55
Continuing to enhance your nutrition knowledge as well as staying engaged and committed to your program can be challenging. Many individuals are in need of detoxification programs, elimination protocols, replenish gut bacteria, or treatment of a specific condition, which may not be feasible in one session.
