We are the champions!!

Irrational Behavior crowned 1st place in 1st annual Jumpstart Challenge!

It was close but only one team could prevail and thank God it was one of mine(I offered free rent for 1 month to any trainer's team who could beat mine).

Irrational Behavior a.k.a Danielle Pinneri and Jessica Breyer have won the first annual Jumpstart challenge. They pushed each other as teammates and tried new challenges which included boot camps, triathlons, and mountain biking.

They also really dialed in their eating and overcame many obstacles that normally would have set off overindulgence. Their discipline and hard work has earned them an overnight downtown Minneapolis with a celebration dinner.

They plan to enter this fall's Jumpstart which will be slightly re-tooled and revamped. We will announce the dates in August for the official start date. Check out our website for testimonials and rules at www.puravidafitness.com

Way to go ladies! I'm proud of you and my pocketbook thanks you too.

A Brush With Kindness

Our First Habitat For Humanity Project!!





At Puravida Fitness we believe it's very important to give back to the community that supports us. Especially to those less fortunate. We've been very blessed this past year especially in down economy. We never want to forget what is really important and why we are successful. It's because we believe in serving others whether it's our clients our the community, bottom line we are here to serve not be served!

On July 22nd we did our first official habitat for humanity project with their "A Brush With Kindness" division which helps people with low incomes and disabilities repair their homes. Here are some videos and pics of the day. We hope you can join us for our next project.

Below are some videos of the homeowners we helped and some of the volunteers who were there:

The WOW factor!!

Recently I met with one of my trainers and they really wanted to work on improving the WOW factor here at our fitness studio especially now since we are taking on members. I couldn't agree more. How can we improve our WOW factor?

For those that don't know what the WOW factor is, it is basically when someone comes here and experiencing being a client or member of our facility they say "WOW." That is something that we constantly need to be improving and paying attention to. Because it can easily be taken for granted.

I am buying new equipment, new paint, new fans etc.. But what else!! I think are best commodity is our trainers here at the studio. So I'm going to start utilizing them to showcase all of their talents more. We are going to start monthly educational seminars along with a revamped nutritional support program!

I have my ideas but I would like to hear from our clients and customers about what they think will improve the WOW factor. In the end it is their perception that is the the reality of where we are at. So please respond to this blog post and tell us what we can do better or what we are doing well. Constructive criticism is appreciated!

As we move forward this feedback will be critical to ur long term success.
