At Pura Vida we are excited to announce the September “MOM”, goes to the one and only G-DOG (Gillian Torchia)!! Gillian is a teacher here in the valley and probably the coolest/fittest one out there!! G-Dog has helped create an amazing atmosphere at our 5:30pm class with her positive attitude and being so consistent. She came to us with a great baseline and we have been able to help her become more advanced in the past couple of months. One thing I appreciate about G-Dog is her fighter mindset that helps her push through tough workouts. Congrats Gillian on your fitness journey so far, and we are excited to see you continue to grow!! Also, thanks for letting us pick on you....

On June 7th Pura Vida had a team participate in a Ragnar Race in Snowmass Colorado. Each member ran 15 miles in some tough mountain terrain. They encountered rain, snow, sunny skies, and had to run through the night. We are CrossFiters at heart but always a fun challenge to do something new that will test us in different ways. The team showed heart and determination to overcome all the obstacles thrown at them and finished within the 24hr time cap. Congratulations on your first Ragnar team!!
