Help Stay Fresh This Summer with Kishu Charcoal Water Filter

Natural Spring Water

in Every Drop

 

Kishu Charcoal makes pure, healthy drinking water. Made by artisans, the process begins as long branches are dried and prepared for the kiln. The branches are then placed inside the kiln, in a precise, painstaking way. Next, heat is applied, oxygen removed, and the branches begin the slow process of carbonization. Over five days' time, the kiln reaches 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, and at just the precise moment - almost by smell - the kiln is opened and the red hot branches are slowly removed and set to cool in layers of fine ash. This is the process that makes Kishu Charcoal such a fantastic eco-water filter! Kishu is 100% Green as well.

 

Save 10% on all Kishu Products throughout the entire month of July.

Visit our Retail Therapy section in the lobby to experience the purest drinking water today!

 A Note from Keith
keith moore
Looking back through five years of newsletters - sixty General Manager letters - I notice that I have not paid nearly enough attention to the Spa. Not that it is not on my mind daily, but my background and experience is fitness clubs and, for better or worse, I let the experts do their job. I do look at the business operations often, and I do ask many questions so that I can learn, but truthfully I cannot take credit for the success of SpaVital. I would conversely like to say that I cannot take credit for the years of struggle from 2008-2011, when we questioned if the spa business was right for us, but unfortunately, it does not work that way. Success in this case is a one-way street.
 
The spa world is very much different from the fitness world. It is no wonder that very few health clubs can do the spa business right. A massage therapist, aesthetician and nail technician are all very different from a personal trainer, Pilates or group fitness instructor. I have learned greatly from both groups that diversity in process and service, although different, ultimately comes down to taking care of the member/client. At the end of the day, the goals of a personal trainer working with a client are no different than a massage therapist working with a client. Betterment.  
 
I am elated to congratulate Lindsay Dunsmore, SpaVital Director, and her staff of superstars, for being named Denver (and Boulder's) Best Spa by 5280's Top of the Town. This honor is well-deserved. If you consider the number of spas in the Boulder and Denver market, (hundreds) this recognition is indeed something to be proud of. If you have not tried the services...the experience...of SpaVital, I would recommend booking now.  Each and every therapist is mind-boggling great. It is with Lindsay's leadership and her staff's unwavering quality of work that we have been honored with this title.
 
Onward to updates on the very exciting Underground, by Pura Vida. The space is near completion, and for those of you wondering WHERE the training space is located (there seems to be some confusion) it is in the basement, below Studio 1, where MAT used to be. You most likely have not been to this area of the club, but beginning July 15th, you will want to check out the raw and edgy training space that is unlike any other area of the club.
 
The conception of the Underground came about for two reasons: There is a segment of fitness enthusiasts who are looking for semi-private training in a progressive, educated and results-driven format. We are all familiar with CrossFit and other standalone programs that offer training, however, what concerned us and the impetus for the Underground was that many of these other studios and formats, while working for many, were also, in our opinion, training in a manner that was not sustainable, and at times dangerous. Like much of what we do around here, we said to ourselves "We can do it better." 
 
Secondly, we also believe in the importance of working with a trainer. The results speak for themselves. But, the reality is that not everyone can afford to hire a private trainer. The Underground will offer semi-private training in a small group format that is very personal and motivating. The cost of the training in the Underground is less than what two private sessions would be, and you can train 7 days a week if you like (this is a seriously stealth program that would not allow for training 7 days a week, but you get the idea) The Underground will be open to members and non-members as well (non-members will not have access to the club above the 1st floor) and PV members will receive reduced rates on classes and packages. Tim Harris has been named Crew Chief, and he and Heather Bahlmann are the masterminds behind the programming. Their work on this new space has been invaluable. Please see below on how to get three complimentary classes as part of your membership. This is for a limited time and will be available beginning July 8th.
 
I want to wish you all a safe and healthy July 4th holiday. Thank you for making Pura Vida your place to embody the good life.

Dill, finely chopped - 4 tablespoons or more to taste

Beets are one of our biggest cleansers and they are filled with antioxidants to support our cells and boost our immune system. If you don't eat beets, you should. This soup is delicious and really easy to make. It has a beautiful deep rich pink/red color.
