Announcements

Here at Mindset, we have made it our mission to keep pricing as low as possible and yet still reflect our high value of service and employees over the past 3.5 years. We want to continue to provide our amazing system and staff, therefore we will be making some minor changes to our membership pricing.
Starting September 4th, membership prices will transition to the following for new membership cycles:
- 3 Month Membership = $180 ($15 / month increase)
- 6 Month Membership = $155 ($10 / month increase)
- 12 Month Membership = $132 ($7 / month increase)
- Masters Membership = $90 ($5 / month increase)
- 10 Class Pass = $225
- Drop-In Rate = $25
*HOWEVER* if you want to lock-in your current rate on the existing price structure, please email Amanda (amanda@mindsetpt.com) about renewing/changing your membership level by July 3rd to secure your rate for the duration of your next membership cycle.
For example, if you want to lock in a 12-month membership at the current rate of $125/mo, email Amanda before July 3rd so she can secure this rate on your account.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to problem solving the right solution with you!!

Health Tip
Last week we spoke about Zone 1 Heart Rate Recovery considerations. In the coming weeks, you will have additional challenge opportunities!
Last week:
- Challenge #1: See how long it takes you to return to Zone 1 / Recovery Zone during cooldowns! Try different strategies such as drinking water or using your breath!
This week:
- Challenge #2: See if you can maintain Zone 2 during a walk outside!
Heart Rate Training Zone 2
60-70% of Heart Rate Max
This is the foundation to your aerobic ability. Think of it as going for a jog while you can still hold a conversation – somewhere between 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. The purpose behind Zone 2 training is to be able to sustain a pace just below your aerobic threshold for 30+ minutes.
WHEN TO EXPECT THIS LEVEL AT MINDSET:
- Warm Ups
- Some Pliability days
Reminder: One way you can calculate your HR Max easily is to start at 220 and subtract your age.

Functional Medicine Corner
Over the last few weeks, we have been talking about what can increase cortisol in our bodies, other than mental or emotional stressors. We addressed the importance of blood sugar regulation as well as sleep and how cortisol is affected. While I work on rebalancing my cortisol with time away with loved ones, let’s revisit exactly what cortisol is again from a previous newsletter post over a year ago. This is a good review for some, and new information for those who have recently joined us. So… what is cortisol exactly?
Cortisol is one of our “fight or flight” hormones that, when released in significant quantities, allows us to run away from the saber-toothed tiger (when thinking from an evolution standpoint), or more recently allows us to perform at our best in high-pressure situations. Ideally it spikes in short bursts, and then goes back down to normal levels within minutes to hours. In the short term, this cortisol feeds extra “energy” into 1) our muscles and our heart and lungs to allow us to run faster, lift more and jump higher, and 2) our brain to allow us precise and narrow focus.
What is often not considered is the fact that we all use cortisol daily, to supply energy for necessary bodily function. (John F Kennedy suffered from Addison’s disease, or low cortisol due to an immune system attack on the adrenal glands that produce it). Optimally cortisol spikes around 30 minutes after waking up, acting as our natural cup of coffee. Then slowly through the day, cortisol goes down. Cortisol then should remain quite low through the night, allowing a truly restful and deep sleep. This natural rhythm helps us maintain optimal health and balance.

Green Box: The Farmers’ Market in a Box from Of the Land!
Of the Land is a family and community farm that believes in the power of food and the beauty in sharing the nature that is around us. They provide organic faire, catering, and one of a kind wedding and event experiences. (And it is run by some pretty incredible human beings–Bridgett and Trent Blough!)
One of the great services Of the Land offers is their Green Box–otherwise referred to as the “Farmers’ Market in a Box!” The Green Box is a way to source locally grown produce, meats, eggs, dairy, kitchen staples, complete meals, and much more–all from the Of the Land farm and other local farmers, artisans and producers!
You can access the green box via the virtual marketplace here! In the growing season, they offer weekly and bi-weekly subscriptions–you can also do a one-time order as long as you have an order of at least $35!
Here is a great video to learn more about Of the Land and Green Box!

What’s the difference between a juice and a smoothie?
- The main difference is fiber. Most of the insoluble fiber is removed in the juicing process.
- By taking the fiber out, you can pack more fruit & veggie nutrients into a juice than you can into a smoothie of the same size.
- The lack of insoluble fiber allows your body to rapidly absorb the nutrients while expending minimal digestive effort.
- Smoothies are made by pulverizing fruit/veggies with liquid in a blender. The insoluble fiber, which helps keep things moving through your system, is maintained in the process.
What are the benefits of juice?
- Several servings of fruit & veg nutrition effortlessly absorbed without energy taxing digestion.
- Easy way to incorporate more fruits and veg in diet than eating produce alone.
- Boosts immunity and energy. Alkalizing, chronic illness prevention, helps aid in weight loss, clear skin, healthy hair.
