August is Annual Cleaning Month at Aspen!

Most of us are familiar with the term “spring cleaning”. However, at Aspen Athletic Clubs, we use the month of August to perform our “spring cleaning.”Each Friday during the month of August, one of our clubs will be shut down so that our entire team, not just our janitorial staff, can participate in the cleaning process. We use these days to refinish our basketball and group exercise floors, clean our carpets, conduct touch up painting, detail clean all our equipment, and perform a host of other items. They are long, but also fun and rewarding, days.
Why do we go through all this effort and expense each August? First, because we are proud of each and every one of our clubs and we want to maintain them at the highest level possible. Even more importantly, we believe that each of you as our members deserve this level of effort and attention to detail in keeping our clubs clean. We hope you will be pleased with the results!
Here is our August Cleaning Schedule:
*All Clubs will operate normal hours on the Saturday following their shut-down date.
Friday, August 6th- West Glen/Fleur – CLOSED @ 1 pm
Friday, August 13th – Merle Hay – CLOSED @ 9 am
*The Group Fitness Studio will be closed for floor resurfacing August 12th at 12-noon - August 19th. Normal Classes will resume on August 20th

Steak & Potato Kebabs with Creamy Cilantro Sauce for Two
Provided by EatingWell.com
Steak kebabs get a Southwestern spin with poblano peppers and a creamy sauce spiked with cilantro, chile powder, cumin and vinegar. The potatoes are partially cooked in the microwave before putting them on the grill so they’re done at the same time as faster-cooking steak, peppers and onions. Serve with: Green salad and Spanish rice.
