Dear Journalist,

Welcome to the Colorado Rockies and the Vail Athletic Club (VAC). I am proud to be the club manager of this world-class health club which has stayed true to its mountain roots. My staff and I pride ourselves on maintaining innovative programming coupled with state-of-the-art equipment to condition the bodies and exhilarate the minds of our guests and members.

The core principal of the VAC is to “get in here, to get better out there”. We believe that a fitness program should coincide with a desire to achieve a healthy lifestyle and be functional in achieving one’s overall goals. No goal is too small or too lofty in our eyes. On any given day you may find one member training to climb Mt. Everest beside another member working to lose ten pounds.

Those who live and vacation in Vail tend to be drawn here by the common thread that is the Rocky Mountains and the lifestyle and activities that they offer. Our programs parallel those activities. We employ professional and lifestyle athletes whose goals are to train others to participate in the same activities and pursue and achieve goals. I believe that spin instructors should be cyclists, our climbing wall instructors should be climbers and that if you are taking a ski conditioning class it should be taught by a skier. After all, what good is a toned and conditioned body if it doesn’t have practical application?

Whether patrons are seasoned athletes, enthusiastic novices or those seeking to achieve a better level of fitness, our programs and staff are here to assist and inspire. As the fitness club component of the Vail Mountain Lodge & Spa, the VAC enables guests to experience fitness and exercise as an invigorating part of a Vail vacation.

I encourage you to visit the following www.vailmountainlodge.com/vail-athletic-club and familiarize yourself with the VAC. Explore the programs we offer and become inspired to achieve your fitness goal, whatever that may be.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about the VAC. I’m always happy to assist.

Best,

Shannon Smith
Club Manager
