FIJI WATER

fiji water 
By definition, artesian water comes from a source deep within the earth, protected by layers of clay and rock. There is no opening, not even a porthole to the surface. As a result, the water never comes into contact with the air, protecting it from environmental pollutants and other contamination.
 
FIJI Water is truly natural artesian water. And, of the top ten bottled waters sold in the United States, FIJI Water is the only water originating from an artesian source.
 
We believe that FIJI simply tastes better than other bottled water. We think you'll agree.
 
Please look for the newly placed recycle containers throughout the club to dispose of your bottle when finished.

A MESSAGE FROM KEITH
Keith MooreAt Pura Vida we keep our eyes open for the best of the best, whether that be the best new fitness equipment, the best group exercise classes, the best new products on the market for the Spa and most certainly the most talented people to work with us and become a part of our PV family.
 
Pura Vida has nearly 100 people on staff.  We look for people who are the best in their given field, have an immense amount of talent and who will be empathetic to our members needs. However, a CV is not always the best indicator of a perfect fit at Pura Vida and Vital Spa. Many of our front line staff are new to the club world and come to us with great enthusiasm and drive to learn from us. We are lucky to have them and share our excitement for what we feel is the only industry to work in.
 
Please take some time when you are next at the club to peruse the retail area of Pura Vida on the second floor.  We have created a section that puts a spotlight on some of our talented staff members. There are books, DVDs and branded apparel that reflect both the instructor as well as the culture of Pura Vida.  Also, if you have not looked at the bio board on the fitness floor, spend some time reveling in the immense background and discipline of each of our personal training staff. It's astounding how much talent (and experience) the fitness floor team has. This goes for the Pilates, yoga and group fitness departments also. Truly, these are the "who's who" of their given expertise.
 
Vital Spa continues to grow and gain attention and publicity. This is of course is due to the talented and much sought-after staff.  Of course you recall we were named as part of 100 Spas Worldwide in the "Hot List" through Condé Nast Traveler.  Now we have been notified that Vital Spa will be featured in the October issue of In-Style Magazine. This is a wonderful validation and we couldn't (wouldn't) have been featured without the group of people in the Spa that make the experience unlike any other spa in Denver. If you have not tried a service at Vital, treat yourself. I think you'll find that the accolades (both local and national) are warranted.
 
From the service desk to the housekeeping staff; from the instructors to the back of the house team, thank you. You deserve to be recognized for your hard work.
 
Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Keith
 
Temperature Updates:
As you might be aware, the high outside temperatures these past two weeks have made it difficult to cool the club to an appropriate and comfortable temperature. We have been working diligently to get this fixed ASAP. I am looking for a complete fix no later than late next week.  Thank you for understanding.

PERSONAL TRAINING
INTRODUCING "TRAINER TALK" with Tim
tim harrisHere's your opportunity to ask those questions you've wanted answered in regards to fitness, training, new trends, etc.  Simply email Tim at timh@puravidaclub.com.  We'll select the best question and feature the answer in the PV News as well as our website. We're looking forward to hearing your questions!
 
Why are we supposed to "change up" our exercise routine?
With an appropriate exercise prescription, we allow our body to become accustom to the stresses we are putting upon it, before we apply more and/or different stresses (i.e. new exercises).  A common buzz phrase we're hearing these days is "muscle confusion." It's not that we want to make the body confused, however, we want to continually adapt it to new stresses. It has to become proficient at A before we attempt B. Therefore to continue to see change or achieve the results you may be looking for, it's important to continue to change your routine.  It is the change in the stresses put upon your body that yield the results.

IS STRESS SLOWING YOU DOWN?
walnutsThe adrenal glands may arguably be the most important glands in the endocrine system!  They help you regulate every stress you put on your body from stress at work, exercise, environmental stresses, injury/recovery, disease and sickness, to dietary stresses.  Located just above each kidney, these tiny glands secrete your "stress coping" hormones.  

Cortisol (the main adrenal hormone) helps keep your blood sugar at a constant level to maintain your body's energy demands.  When your adrenals are fatigued (overworked) your cortisol levels drop making it harder for you to maintain blood sugar levels; and can ultimately lead to hypoglycemia.

What you eat and when you eat is extremely important for healthy adrenal function.  Getting adequate protein, essential fatty acids, and good quality carbohydrates will help maintain and improve symptoms of stress.
