Managing Director
Dear Members,
I want to express my heartfelt thanks for the warm welcome I’ve received. Your friendliness and sense of community have made my transition into this role incredibly rewarding.
Whether we’ve already had the chance to connect or haven’t yet crossed paths, I’m excited to continue building relationships and learning more about what makes your experience here meaningful.
We also have an exciting lineup of events this month to bring our community together. I look forward to seeing many of you at these events and continuing to share in all that makes this club such a special place.
Sincerely,
John Reilly
SIP of the MONTH:
CUBA LIBRE
Experience a timeless classic with our smooth aged rum, a splash of fresh lime, and the rich, nostalgic fizz of Mexican glass-bottled Coca-Cola. Simple, refreshing and the epitome of Summer Life with vintage charm in every sip.
Just $13 at all bars!
Join us at Grand View for dinner and indulge in a bold fusion of smoke and spice with our 16-oz. Ancho-Rubbed Smoked Pork Chop for $45. The flame-kissed masterpiece is slow-smoked to perfection. Paired with a charred zucchini and velvety peach mole, this dish balances deep, earthy heat with a subtle sweetness and bright summer freshness. A savory experience that lingers long after the last bite.

Sunday, August 10th | 10am - 1pm
Reservations for brunch and for the llama meet and greet must be made separately. Book yours now, as spots are filling up fast!
Enjoy classic brunch dishes with a view, then spend time meeting the llamas of our partner, Luxy Llama , Zorro and Pedro, learning about their therapeutic benefits, and of course snap an incredible photo with our breathtaking backdrop.
The brunch + llama experience will return to Grand View two more times this seasonwith exact dates in September and October to be announced.
Why llamas? Goat yoga had its momentnow it’s time for something more intentional. The Luxy Llama experience offers a nontraditional path to wellness, much like equine therapy, but with the gentle, grounding presence of llamas. Spend time in nature, connect with these resilient and peaceful animals, and leave feeling more centered and joyful. As you learn about llamas, you’ll uncover more about yourself.

We understand how essential fat is to your body’s optimal performance. But only when it’s in balance.
In healthy amounts, body fat is more than just storage, it’s fuel. It cushions your organs, insulates your body, aids in nutrient absorption, and plays a critical role in hormonal regulation. Healthy fats, such as Omega-3s, can lower LDL cholesterol and reduce blood pressure.
But when fat levels climb beyond sustainable limits, the risks rise sharply for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers become more likely. And it’s not just about fat. Muscle supports movement, stability, and injury prevention. Yet, as we age, we naturally lose muscle in a condition called sarcopenia.
Resistance training is essential to counteract this. And if you’re using GLP-1 medications for weight loss, are you sure you’re losing fat, not muscle? We can help you find out.
Strata Fit proudly offers the Bod Pod—the gold standard in body composition measurement. Using air displacement plethysmography, the Bod Pod provides precise, repeatable readings of your body fat and lean muscle mass in just 10 minutes. This non-invasive, highly accurate test is ideally performed in the morning after a two-hour fast for consistent results. Whether you're starting a fitness journey or optimizing your current training plan, the Bod Pod gives you real data to work with.
Exclusive for August: Enjoy 20% off your Bod Pod assessment. For more information or to book your assessment, please stop by the Fitness Desk or contact us at 719.329.4009.

At Strata Med, we believe healthcare should begin before symptoms appear. That’s why our approach is rooted in proactive, preventative care that targets the root causes of illness - before they escalate into serious conditions. From regular screenings and lifestyle counseling to educational programs and wellness initiatives, we equip individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to take control of their health, feel their best now, reduce long-term healthcare costs, and protect their long-term well-being. Here are some of the ways we do it:
Forget “normal” labs that only flag major issues. Our advanced diagnostic panels dig deeper—identifying early imbalances in hormones, inflammation, metabolism, and nutrient levels.
We test for:
• Full hormone profiles (thyroid, insulin, cortisol, sex hormones)
• Advanced thyroid markers (Free T3, T4, Reverse T3, antibodies)
• Cardiometabolic risk (hs-CRP, ApoB, homocysteine, fasting insulin)
• Nutrient deficiencies (B12, folate, magnesium, omega-3s, zinc)
• Inflammation & immune health markers
This deeper insight allows us to build truly personalized treatment plans - not just to treat, but to prevent. Schedule a consultation to get started. Call 719.749.3308 or send an appointment request here.
Lifestyle Medicine is a medical discipline focused on the prevention, treatment, and reversal of chronic diseases through evidence-based lifestyle interventions. It emphasizes self-care and addresses health conditions caused by lifestyle factors. Your daily habits drive your long-term health. Dr. Sheila Bee, our Lifestyle Medicine expert, focuses on six key areas:
• Nutrition
• Movement
• Sleep
• Stress management
• Substance moderation
• Social connection
Learn more or schedule an appointment with Dr. Bee by calling 719.749.3308.
Food is truly foundational to our existence. Bridget Nelson, our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, offers 1:1 consultations to help you:
• Understand your body’s unique nutritional needs
• Shop smart and read labels with confidence
• Build balanced, sustainable meals
• Support metabolism, gut health, and weight goals
We meet you where you are and create a custom plan that works for your life. Learn more or call 719.749.3308 to schedule a nutrition consultation with Bridget.
Knowing what to eat is one thing - knowing how to cook it is another. Culinary Medicine blends science with hands-on skills to help you turn nutrient-dense ingredients into crave-worthy meals. If you joined us at our July 14 Cooking Demo, you already got a taste! (If not, check out the Peach Crisp recipe below ) We make healthy eating practical, delicious, and doable.
