Erie Lifestyle - Summer 2019 - 30

BUSINESS MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Healthy Altitudes
1. Tell us about your business.

We deliver top quality health and fitness
services to you at your home, at work and in
your community.

2. When, why and how did you
start your business?
Healthy Altitudes started in 2007 in
Steamboat Springs, Colorado with personal
training and group fitness instruction.
Statistics show a good wellness program
pays off - to employees and their companies.
One study by the Chapman Institute shows
companies with onsite health promotion
have on average a 28 percent reduction
in workers being absent and a 26 percent
reduction in health costs (thinkhealth.
priorityhealth.com/10-wellness-programideas-for-small-businesses). So, over the
last 10 years, we have served companies,
communities, and individuals all around
the Front Range and even across America
with in person and online health and fitness
programming. We began our mobile health
and fitness services delivery business in
January of 2018 and continue to serve
businesses and communities with our
Movable Studio which serves as a mobile
health, fitness, and event rental space.

3. Give us an example of a time
you went above and beyond to
provide good customer service.
Every day we provide the best service
possible to the people we serve. We provide
time savings, with accessible, approachable,
and educated resources for health and
fitness to our clients everywhere. We bring
convenience, equipment, and simplicity
to health and fitness workouts online and
in-person and we bring knowledge to our
health promotion and consulting services
for the health and happiness of companies.
All these services and resources make our
customers happy daily.

4. Give us an example of a time
an Erie-based business went
above and beyond to provide
YOU with good customer service.
One of my most memorable experiences of
great service in Erie is when I was shopping for
insurance and the agent came to my house to
personally go over the policy details with me.
I thought it was a nice touch of service and

class. It showed they cared about my needs
and they emphasized that they wanted to
save me time from driving to their office.

5. Where is your favorite place
to eat in Erie?
My favorite place to eat and shop in Erie
is at Super King Soopers. They have all the
ingredients to make healthy choices morning,
noon, or night. I love being able to create
healthy meals from real ingredients. I love
the challenge of getting in and out without
buying unnecessary items or extra "suggestsell" items.

6. Tell us about a chamber
event you enjoyed and found
memorable - and why.
The most memorable Chamber event(s) I
attend and volunteer with are the concerts
in the park. I love the sense of community,
the amount of energy involved, and that it all
takes place in a park outside.

7. What do you do in
your free time?
I love finding time to relax with my family at
home or on adventures. I also love balancing
in my own adventures climbing mountains,
skiing uphills, cycling, running, reading, and
eating Chinese food. People have come to
think that all I do is exercise but one of my
favorite things to do is to relax in total silence.

8. What's something few people
know about you or your business?
As the owner of Healthy Altitudes, I set a
world record delivering cycling to all 50 states
in 50 consecutive days in 2007 traversing
over 5000 miles while raising funds for
cancer programs. My team and I traversed
over 5000 miles in all 50 states to get more
people cycling and moving to promote health
and fitness to prevent cancer.
Now, we continue to deliver more than just
fitness. Our start was bringing a mobile
cycling studio to events, businesses, and
communities but now we have expanded
offer healthy business audits, health and
fitness classes, personal training, boot camps,
high intensity interval training and health
and fitness programs online. Our goal is to
make health and fitness simple, fun, and
educational while showing you how to fit
wellness into your current lifestyle.

9. How has joining the Chamber
benefited you?
I have met a lot of great people and business
owners. I have built relationships with other
businesses and friendships that go beyond
our local community. Through the Chamber,
I have made friends, learned from other
businesses, and grown to appreciate how
we can all work together and build a healthy
and happy community. The Chamber has
helped me keep a balance of work, fun, and
growth within the small business network
we have in town. I hope to be able to give
back to our small business owners and offer
complimentary health audits to assess their
overall health and balance of their company
and employee health habits.

10. What have you discovered
about Erie that pleasantly
surprised you?
Recently, I discovered that the park in
Colliers Hill has an adult fitness space. This
is a great example of how you can fit in
fitness anywhere. It doesn't have to take a
long time to move just a little bit and build
some endurance and strength that will help
you live longer and be more productive. It
is possible for adults to move and play at a
playground right alongside kids.
