What I like about the heart rock.

Hannah was born and raised in Aspen and at the Aspen Club - no wonder she's in better shape than me.

Interstate 15 - Yermo, CA

The experience I'd had that morning with Jt in St. George, UT was still very much with me as we crossed back into California (Hell-ooo Cali!) on the last leg of the quest. The Pole Fitness stop in Vegas provided some physical and comic relief, but the fact was the loss of my niece 2 1/2 short years ago had moved itself from the back of my mind to the place where it was almost all I could think about, as we were swiftly approaching the scene of the accident on I15.

One of the tricky parts of this trip, and this blog, has been separating what's personal from what's business. But the message I'd gotten from the stop at Jt's had cleared things up a bit. Our wonderful tagline is "Love your business." And everything I’d experienced in the previous 2,700 miles, a dozen states, and well over a dozen Client meetings proved that line to be smack-dab in the bulls-eye of reality in the field. Our Clients most certainly love their businesses, and their practitioners love their jobs, and their customers love them both.

That love is about a lot more than business. With them, it’s personal. There’s no way to separate it. And with MINDBODY, it’s personal. And with me, this quest was about to become personal as well – as personal as it gets. I saw a sign somewhere alongside the road in Nevada that said, “Expect the unexpected,” and a sneaking suspicion that it was speaking to me was unavoidable.

Namaste...

I asked Patrick, a massage therapist at the Aspen Club, to bless the heart rock after he politely walked us to the car… and you won’t believe what happened next.

He led us to the bridge we'd crossed on the way in and out of the club, and pointed to a rock in the water. In the rock: a heart-shaped hole.

Patrick explained he has been drawing on the energy in that rock, looking at it as he passes over the bridge every day, for guess how long??? Fifteen years. 

Synchronicity strikes again.

The Rockies and driving through Colorado, Arizona, and Utah.

Although there were no services to find on Connect in the wild and scenic corner of Arizona we went through, we were able to take a moment to stop and connect with ourselves.

Aspen Club & Spa Wow. This place is phenomenal. Great thanks to owner Michael Fox.

As if the walk up to the entrance isn't breathtaking enough - crossing a beautiful river, breathing in the Rockies - touring this facility was breathtaking in its own right.

The only thing more impressive than the scale and variety of this club (yoga, state of the art gym, pilates, physical therapy, pool, salon, shop, juice/snack bar, full spa, salon, etc.) is its immaculate, refined and I-never-want-to-leave-here aesthetic.

When a tremendous amount of love and passion are infused into physical space, it shows. Whether I'm walking into a yoga studio, a hotel, a restaurant, someone's home, or a club & spa, I can always tell when someone has poured their heart out into the space, and in that regard The Aspen Club sets a new standard.

I can't say enough about it, and when you spend a few minutes with owner Michael Fox and see the gleam in his eye when he talks about being a part of the community and how the club changes lives and how lucky he feels to be a part of it, you sense the source of the passion and understand pretty quickly just whose heart it is you see poured out into every inch of this 50K square foot facility.

Bottom line, if you go to Aspen, go check out this club.
