A Message From Keith
 As I type this update, the weather is an amazing 67 degrees here in Denver. The warmth has brought about an energy shift and I've noticed a little extra spring in the step of our members. Weather effects the rhythm of business in the health club industry. Whereas in California, the constant mid-70 degree weather creates an even flow of members using the club, here in Colorado we never really know what to expect, and this keeps us here at Pura Vida constantly on our toes. In fact, most likely (according to the forecast) by the time this newsletter hits your in-box, there will be snow. One thing that is certain, as Spring approaches the Pura Vida member is ready to take their training up a notch.
Just in time for Spring, Studio 1 will open Monday, March 22 on the first floor. Look for "Fight Club" a boxer's circuit, TRX suspension training, Kettle bell classes, Heavy Rope training, jump roping classes and numerous other small group training offers. The studio is available to each member for private personal training and you are free to use the space when there is not a class in session. You may access Studio 1 by elevator.
I'm happy to report the launch of Vital at Pura Vita was a great success. The tag line for the spa is "Build your Bliss." Each treatment now comes with the option to add a Vital enhancement. What this means is that you have the opportunity to customize your spa service. Aromatherapy treatment with you massage? $5. Detox Self Heating Mud, applied to the spine and feet? $14. There are over fifteen "add-ons" that have been created with you in mind. We have also kept the price to a minimum in an effort to make Vital unique and affordable. Check out the new spa on the 4th floor. There are many new therapists who excel at making sure you have an amazing experience.
Finally, I want to insure that each and every member has the evening of Thursday, April 8th set aside to celebrate Pura Vida's two year anniversary! We throw great parties each month with our happy hours, but this is the grand-daddy of parties and you won't want to miss it. The theme is a bit of Masquerade, Carnival and Cirque du Soleil all in a fantastic mash-up! There will be four floors of food, drink, music and entertainment. Our partner Denver magazine will be on-site with a photographer so be sure to find that truly amazing mask.
Two years! We couldn't have done it without you!
