A Note from Keith
Back in the 1990's when I was overseeing health clubs in San Francisco, a tennis property I worked on was struggling to gain new members. The property was in the South of Market district, which was at the time not the best address. The ballpark hadn't been built, lofts were still emerging and the internet start-up onslaught was a few years away. It was at this tennis club that I learned a great deal about member service. SFTC was then owned by a company called ClubCorp, which still remains the largest club operator on the planet. At the time, the company specialized in country clubs, resorts, business/dining clubs and a handful of athletic and tennis clubs. With over 500,000 members world-wide, it was indeed the leader in membership clubs. It was also the leader in member service and hospitality.
Although the list and type of properties on the ClubCorp roster was varied, the majority were golf country clubs and business clubs and many were in the southern regions of the U.S. The company itself was based in Dallas and southern hospitality was at the core of the operations model, its mission and its standards for every employee. Although at the time I considered many of these standards "hokey" and outdated, as I grew older I realized that at the core of its operations, the message was simple: Enjoy what you do. Have integrity in what you do. Smile and laugh often. The actual verbiage that was used in company manuals was, "Have a servant's heart." I struggled with this actual sentence - the words chosen did not sit right - but ultimately I understood and could decipher the meaning.
After leaving ClubCorp to work in the national arena of fitness clubs for other companies, the one thing that stayed with me was the importance of empathy and how a gracious and warm heart can help grow a community - whether it be fitness, tennis, yoga or simply the desire to become healthy. It was also during these years of career growth that I came to understand that not all fitness companies have the members' best interests at heart. Empathy was not in the vocabulary. I questioned whether the fitness industry was right for me.
Fast forward 19 years and here I sit thinking about many of the members of Pura Vida who I have become friends with and have had the great pleasure of getting to know along the way. I think about what an amazing visionary J. Madden is to create multiple businesses that center on health and wellness and his deep and unabiding commitment to member satisfaction. I think about the staff that keeps Pura Vida on the "Best of" lists and all of the people who have made Pura Vida a success. Health and fitness should be about celebrating life and becoming the best of what you can be. Pura Vida sits on this platform and empathy and celebration is absolutely a part of what we do. I hope you feel celebrated each time you visit the club.
Thank you for being a member. Thank you for the kind words each day and thank you for allowing me to share Pura Vida with you.
In Health,
Keith

HOLISTIC NUTRITION PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT
Digest - Digestive support for a healthy digestive system! Healthy food choices are a great start to promoting health, however this represents just the first step. To benefit from all the nutritious components of our food, a healthy digestive system is needed. Today, dozens of factors can influence our digestion.
- genetics
- stressful lifestyles
- poor diet
- food allergies
- hormonal imbalance
- medications
- processed foods
- the environment
Supplementing a healthy diet and lifestyle with digestive enzymes is the next step in health. Once the food is broken down into simple nutrients, the body can then assimilate these for energy, growth, and repair. Digest includes:
- Proteolytic Enzymes to support the digestion of proteins for reduced risk of food sensitivities, toxins, and free radicals.
- Lipolytic Enzymes to encourage more complete digestion of fats and lipids to support pancreas, liver, and gall bladder health and wellness.
- Polysaccharolytic Enzymes to support the digestion of carbohydrates for reduced food intolerances and relief from occasional indigestion and gas.
A HEALTHY INSPIRATION RECIPE Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter "Granola" Bars
A Hutchinson family fav! So much better to do it yourself. The ingredients are whole, clean, delicious and nutritious. (Makes 10 bars.)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. raw honey
1/2 c. natural unsweetened peanut butter (or Almond Butter)
2 T. coconut oil
1/2 c. raw almonds
1/2 c. raw walnuts
1/2 c. raw pecans
1/2 c. raw cashews
5 medjool dates
1/4 c. sunflower seeds
1/4 c. shredded coconut, unsweetened
1/4 c. 80% cacao dark chocolate chips
Combine the vanilla, honey, peanut butter, and coconut oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. While the mixture is heating, place all of the nuts and dates in a food processor and chop until the mixture resembles course sand. Add the shredded coconut and sunflower seeds and pulse a few times until the sunflower seeds are roughly chopped. Remove the coconut oil mixture from the stove once it has melted, then stir in the nut mixture.
Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, then pour the granola bar mixture into the pan. Place another piece of parchment on top, and use your palms to press the mixture into the pan evenly. Make sure to pack it down as tightly as possible. This will help the bars bind and not crumble. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and press them in lightly. Place in the freezer to set for 2 hours. Lift the parchment paper out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the bars into rectangles.
You can store these in the refrigerator for 2 weeks, or the freezer for a few months. If storing in the freezer, remove the bars for about 20 minutes prior to serving.
