MoVe at Pura Vida
|
 |
|
Denver's Pura Vida Fitness & Spa's Pilates Coordinator, Stacy Weinstein, shares how the MVe® program has successfully helped introduce the Pilates method to members:
In a health club, the group fitness schedule is a major factor in membership appeal. Offering a wide variety of classes, introducing safe and proven exercise trends and staying ahead of the curve is just part of the challenge in keeping members happy and classes full. Total wellness is the focus of Pura Vida Fitness & Spa and we offer the support our members need to achieve their desired goals.
MVe classes, also known as MoVe classes at Pura Vida, have been successful because regardless of the instructor or focus, they always offer a challenge, interest and new skill to master. These classes are also part of our complimentary group programming. We created different class profiles based on the interests and goals of our membership, including Healthy Back, MoVe & Flow, MoVe & Define and MoVe & Burn. Our MoVe classes have helped in changing many perceptions of Pilates-based work being only for the injured and/or deconditioned. They demonstrate the practice of true core work and have created a more inclusive introduction to the Pilates method.
We could not be more pleased with the reception and participation by our members of the MoVe program and look forward to expanding the programming as our clubs membership expands.
