A Note from Keith
 To understand the inner workings of a health club is to understand a microcosm of life itself. I've decided this after searching to find the answers to the most simplest of problems to the most complex. From where to buy fruit daily and try to keep the cost below $60,000 a year, to what type of detergent to use on the towels, to scheduling classes that do not congest the locker rooms all at the same hour, to uniforms for staff, to trying (trying!) 24 hrs a day 7 days a week to get the steam rooms and whirlpools to function properly. Along with these operational challenges, I struggle daily to insure that the experience of you, the Pura Vida member, is superlative.
It's not easy and there have been consistent challenges.
Sitting through my weekly management meetings, everyone discusses these issues. We work on them as a team. Eight heads are better than one. One thing that I am grateful for in these meetings is that every manager of Pura Vida takes full ownership and responsibility for finding an answer. Some items are easy to cross off the list and move forward, others are incredibly complicated and require multiple outside people to get involved. But we never push them aside and move on until we have a strategic plan. This, oddly enough, is not common in the back offices of health clubs. I'm proud of my team for caring for you and your member experience. I am proud of them in making tough decisions.
On the other side of the coin is the relationship experience that we work hard to polish and insure that if you are in the club, we know you are here and we know a good deal about you (not in a stalker way but in a hospitality way) so that we can monitor how your experience is. We look through an immense amount of data each week and try to make sense of it. I think we know your likes and dislikes fairly well.
As we move into a new year, my goal is to insure that all amenities are functioning properly, that we are staggering the most popular group fitness classes so that crowding on the parking deck and the locker rooms are minimal and that we continue to strengthen the offerings at Pura Vida through unique classes and smart fitness options that you cannot find anywhere else in Denver. My goal is to continue our philanthropy and give back more to the community in 2013. I will speak of this in January's newsletter in more detail.
We are coming up on five years of business. Many of you have seen us grow at a pace that has been truly remarkable. In 2013 we will be pulling back from driving membership to focusing on the membership experience and taking care to customize each member visit to the club. I think you will be pleased.
Thank you for coming along with us these past few years. Thank you for your feedback and your friendship. We have an astounding 2013 ahead of us. I'm excited to make these changes together, with you in mind.
Happy and healthy holidays to you and yours,
Keith

PILATES
REFORMER CLASS SERIES FOR STRONG PILATES ENTHUSIASTS  AND INSTRUCTORS with Colleen Glenn-Wilson
Friday at 2-4pm
December 13thEnjoy a dynamic advanced reformer class following the classical sequence. Periodical breakdown of specific exercises executed, free-flowing investigation of the technique with question and answer periods. Class is designed for instructors with high level of Pilates knowledge, comprehensive training, and is both a workout and learning experience with Master Instructor Colleen Glenn-Wilson. Class size is limited to six. Registration on http://www.mindbodyonline.com/loginsearch business "Pilates Colleen", set up an account, click on "workshops," proceed to register. $75
THE PILATES SCOOP
 If you think Pilates is easy, try rolling like a ball. Seriously. Hug your knees towards your chest, tuck your chin towards your chest and grab your feet. Think shape of a C. Then rock back and forth onto your shoulder blades, pop right back up onto your sitz bones. Yes, sitting bones. Balance like an egg, roll like a ball. It's seems silly, however you are practicing core stabilization and mobilization of your spine. It requires strength and control, AND is a great way to articulate through your spine AND find abdominal control AND a great way to massage your own back! It's a classic exercise and a Pilates fundamental. Now you can say you, too do Pilates!
For more great exercises and tips, ask us! Contact Stacy Weinstein at stacyw@puravidaclub.com. |

Take probiotics, fish oil & a good hearty multi-vitamin. These three products are a solid foundation and will assist in good health. PROBIOTICSProbiotics make sure the immune system is strong. 85% of our immune system lives in our gut. Probiotics feed our beneficial gut flora whereas stress, antibiotics, packaged foods, and excessive sugar feed our opportunistic gut flora. Give yourselves a gift by boosting your immunity. FISH OILOmega 3, 6 and 9 fish oils help promote healthy mood balance, support cognitive health and brain function, promote cardiovascular health, and much more. Winter is the perfect time to naturally fight the wear and tear that stress imposes. It is helpful to up your fish oil during stressful times. A GOOD HEARTY MULTIIf we all ate impeccable diets there would be no reason for a multi-vitamin. Unfortunately, this is the season when we aren't eating enough fruits and veggies, and we are eating too much sugar. A multi-vitamin insures your get your nutrients. Your body will run smoother, and hopefully, you'll fight off the viruses that come your way. Contact robinh@puravidaclub.com OR sarahk@puravidaclub.com for more details or to get some high quality, medical-grade multi-vitamins, fish oil, or probiotics.
