Throughout PRO Club, our patented air purification system is constantly eliminating airborne bacteria, viruses and other contaminants, ensuring equipment and surfaces are virtually germ-free.

METICULOUS ATTENTION

UV-PURIFIED POOLS

Our facilities team of more than 80 people works around the clock to monitor the club’s cleanliness. Each exercise station has its own clean towels and spray cleaner. Members are encouraged to clean equipment after use, and clean towels are constantly refreshed.

Extensive filtration keeps our four pools incomparably clean, clear and healthy. Water is constantly passed through a sand filtration system, followed by cloth filters and finally a UV light system, eliminating virtually all bacteria and viruses.

WHAT EXCITES YOU MOST ABOUT THE WORK THAT YOU DO? The most excitement comes from creating innovative ways to do education differently than the way we have been doing it for 150 years. I thrive off of innovation and the ability to meet people’s needs – especially those who have traditionally furthest from justice. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY IN BELLEVUE? WHAT SETS IT APART? I love how unique it is – a multitude of diversity. I really love this pocket of people who don’t fit into what people think the mainstream of Bellevue looks like. WHAT INSPIRES YOU? The thing that catapulted my career in serving the way that I serve is the voice of youth and the youth perspective. I remember very distinctly – I was on a trajectory to roll out professional development to drive greater equitable consciousness – and on this continuum were all of these adults who needed to be involved. What substantially moved the needle, I found, was to skip all of that and go right to the students. We created SOAR (student empowerment teams) to see and hear what they needed. When I see these students, who have historically been oppressed, stepping up to advocate for themselves and bring about change – that is inspirational. 18

HOW DID YOU END UP IN YOUR LINE OF WORK? I am local to the area and graduated from UW with a business degree. After spending some time working in LA, I moved home and got into property development with my brother. I began thinking about cars and storage and a space that could provide community as well as a practical need. No one had properly taken the concept of concierge, car service and community – we saw a need and went for it. WHAT EXCITES YOU MOST ABOUT THE WORK THAT YOU DO? The car culture and community are fairly fragmented, so bringing people together helps the community. It was also a big gamble – as a developer we took a gamble and worked really hard to achieve success. I enjoy building things and watching them grow ground up – it is really satisfying. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY IN BELLEVUE? WHAT SETS IT APART? The people – their humility. And people tend to return…even if you do move away, many of us return home. It’s not common to see that. I also appreciate that it is a large but small place. We are becoming a larger city, but everyone is doing a good job of maintaining that growth and keeping relationships local. WHAT INSPIRES YOU? Right now, it’s my family and building a community with them. Also, health – taking care of myself and setting goals. Also, inspiring the next generation of car enthusiasts. Having a place where we can – as this generation – teach the next about our passion and what we love. In some ways, being the torchbearer for automotive passion.

HOW DID YOU END UP IN YOUR LINE OF WORK? When I was 27 years old, I was working in law enforcement for the state. I was planning to quit my job and go back to law school to become a lawyer. At the time, my sister was on the board of aging services for Leisure Care. One day, I got a call from her demanding that I read a study called the Graying of America – she insisted it could show me a path to my future career. She lined up an interview for me with Leisure Care. They asked a few cursory questions, spent no more than 10 minutes with me, and thanked me for coming in. But right before they could shoo me out the door, I reached into my backpack and pulled out a three-ring binder that was about three inches thick and dropped it on the desk in front of the interviewer. I said, “now I’d like to talk to you about your company, where I think the aging industry is going and how I think I could contribute.” We spent the next 90 minutes going over my manual. A week later, they made me a job offer.

WE ARE LIVING LONGER AND MORE FULFILLING LIVES THAN EVER BEFORE, AND MANY OF US WANT TO LOOK AS GOOD AS Dr. Hardeep Dhaliwal at Adara Surgical Institue

WE FEEL. People are taking care of themselves more, and aiming to maintain a high quality-of-life, which can include a youthful appearance. While the stereotype of seeking the fountain of youth is typically attributed towards women, in recent years, the number of men seeking plastic surgery procedures has skyrocketed. In fact, in the last twenty years men have begun to invest in plastic surgery almost as often as women do. Whether through the rise of images seen in social media, or wanting to remain competitive in the job market, or dating later in life – men are feeling the pressure to seek cosmetic enhancements. Quadrupleboard certified doctor, Dr. Dhaliwal, of Adara Surgical Institute, says this trend is not only becoming more common, but more accepted. “Men are ever more accepting of cosmetic enhancements in general, and many men are seeking out these services themselves. Men are more aware of the wide array of available cosmetic services and procedures offered. Each year more of them elect to have them performed” says Dr. Dhaliwal. “Every day we are seeing a larger segment of our patient population to be men and this trend has no signs of slowing down.”

body + soul

MINDFUL EATING MEANS KNOWING WHAT IS IN YOUR FOOD, HOW IT IS AFFECTING YOUR BODY AND TAKING THE TIME TO FULLY APPRECIATE THE NUTRIENTS AND FLAVORS YOU ARE TAKING IN. Whether or not you are trying to lose, gain or maintain weight, reading labels and understanding nutrition facts will help you make better choices for your body and ultimately feel better in your day-to-day.

PROTEINS Protein makes you feel full longer. If you eat a meal with little protein, you’ll feel hungry again pretty quickly, and it can be discouraging. But you don’t have to eat a huge steak to get enough protein. You can find it in cheese, nuts, seeds, spinach, eggs, avocados, broccoli, hummus, lentils—the list goes on and on! Mindful eating means taking note of how hungry you feel and eating enough protein to satisfy that hunger in a way that will last.

C A R B O H Y D R AT E S Carbohydrates are not your enemy. But, it is important to pay attention to how you feel when you eat them. If you eat a lot of carbs in one sitting, it can cause your blood sugar to spike, and when it drops back down, you can feel lethargic and maybe even irritable. By spreading your carbohydrate intake throughout your day and always pairing it with a protein, you can help your body regulate your blood sugar more effectively and feel more alert all day long.

HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORTSWEAR

TOMMY BAHAMA CREATES NEW LINE OF WARDROBE ESSENTIALS WITH ULTIMATE COMFORT.

ARTICLE CAITLIN AGNEW

SPRING IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR REINVENTION AND BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO YOUR STYLE. The way men dress is slowly getting more colorful, more adventurous and less constrained by old rules and dress codes. From the office, to city streets, keeping it casual with your daily wardrobe is the new norm. However, there’s an art to casual dressing that will keep you looking sharp, without having to forgo comfort. For the active lifestyle that men live today, these trends are easy enough to slip on and off, have tech fabrics that provide comfort with ease in movement, and all have their own snap of style. To help simplify your shopping and dressing dilemmas we asked local retailer, Tommy Bahama, to share with us their biggest spring trends in menswear. Mostly known for clothing that embody relaxation and celebrating the finer things in life, Tommy Bahama is now expanding their men’s sportswear collection to address the active lifestyle of the modern man. Designed with comfort and function in mind, this collection incorporates hardworking fabrics, and innovative features.

Bellevue Lifestyle | April 2020

Familiarizing yourself with the spring trends now assures that you’ll be a step ahead of the rest—making your wardrobe refresh a total breeze! Tommy Bahama’s new collection is broken into two areas:

Island Zone Performance encompasses the true activewear segment of the collection, including performance wear for workouts of any kind. Each piece designed to be versatile enough to take you from your workout to wherever you are headed next. Made with the high-end fabrics and innovative details. Key pieces included: A. PERFORMANCE KNITS: knits are cut from moisture wicking, quick dry fabric designed with engineered body mapping at key areas of sweat release for added ventilation. B. CHIP SHOT SHORT: The ripstop nylon/ poly/spandex blend fabric features 4-way stretch, moisture wicking and UPF 30. The soft elastic gripper tape on the inside waistband helps to keep your shirt tucked in no matter what sport. C. ISLAND ACTIVE NAPLES SHORT: Features a drawstring waist, mesh lining, and sealed back pocket. Made with poly/nylon/spandex fabric. Even doubles as swimwear.

Island Zone includes the true sportswear segment, incorporating classic signature Tommy Bahama silhouettes with modern enhancements. Versatile enough to wear everyday, head-totoe. Key pieces include: A. NEWPORT COAST SHIRT: Cut from “cool to touch” cotton/poly fabric that utilizes temperature and moisture regulation. This innovative fabric is also wrinkle resistant. B. SAN LUCIO STRETCH SHIRT: Tommy Bahama’s first knit dress shirt. All about technology and style, made from moisture wicking fabric, that is smooth in feel. C. ISLAND ZONE PERFORMANCE PANT: For office, for travel, for coummute – the pant takes you wherever you need to go with 4-way stretch and UPF 30.
