However, Pilates adds a large amount of strength and core training to the mix. Golden Pilates is conveniently located downtown, has wonderful instructors, and a great mix of the fitness community. They offer different classes and packages depending on your level. Try something new this year!

Ok, so maybe you are not a class person. That is no reason to abandon your new fitness goals in the New Year. Anytime Fitness is located just west of downtown and provides that classic gym experience. Anytime Fitness is open 24-hours, so it fits into your work/life schedule. The staff is friendly, but not overbearing. Like many gyms of this nature, they have low memberships, plenty of room, and they even offer an array of fitness classes too (if you change your mind).

Applewood Neighborhood in Golden
When most people think of Golden, they usually think of the adorable downtown area, Clear Creek, and the mountain views. There is so much more to Golden, however! Applewood is a neighborhood outside of the downtown area that continues those perfect mountain views and has a unique personality that people flock to!
The Applewood neighborhood is conveniently located near three major thoroughfares: I-70, 6th, and W Colfax Ave. The land Applewood occupies is a wonderful combination of beautiful, rolling, golden hills and fertile farmland. Gardens abound: there is even a community garden in the Applewood area too! The homes are eclectic; ranging from the original Golden homesteader houses to more modern, ranch style homes.
Minutes from downtown Golden and fifteen to Denver, the Applewood neighborhood has been experiencing the influx of young families starting out by purchasing homes in older communities. You will find your neighbors biking, hiking, visiting Maple Grove Reservoir, or enjoying those golden hills at Applewood Golf Course. Hikers and bikers can easily connect with the Clear Creek Trails and children will have plenty of neighborhood parks to choose from.
Grab a cup of coffee and take your next sunny day to drive through the Applewood neighborhood in Golden. You will see why so many people love this gorgeous Golden neighborhood.

I hate dress clothes and the first critical feedback I got from my managing broker was “Please wear dress slacks around the office.”
My answer is NO.
When I market to my clients, I use beer coasters not business cards, I wear jeans not slacks, and I am a self proclaimed Geek who loves things like Star Wars, Battle Star Galactica, and Harry Potter.
Maybe it’s a generation thing, but when I see a suit and tie, or even dress slacks, I think “That guy must be a dishonest sleaze ball.” Sorry to say, this is my association with dress clothes. I generally wear nice Jeans (not holey or to worn) and a casual collared shirt; Not a polo because I don’t want to look like a golfer (I am not a fan of golf.)
When I work for a client I come from a standpoint of contribution. I will crawl in every crawl space, up in attics, and really investigate the house that they are looking at. My clients vary from engineers to artists and I don’t do a ton of low $ transactions. Point being: I have a good business!
Ok, so maybe I am being a little hard on you all wearing a suit to work. When I go out to a fancy place, I dress up and I look pretty sharp. For me work is not a place for dress clothes.
This is part of my niche marketing. I focus on dressing like many of my clients, who happen to be young, first time home buyers. I of course when necessary dress up a little more.
This is one way of standing out so the members of the niche I serve recognize me. Check out this video on TED Talks, Seth Godin talks about standing out from the crowd. I find this works well for me to generate business.

TED Talks is like YouTube for people with an education.

Hello, my name is Rick Myers. The Myers Team works with Keller Williams Advantage Realty to enable us to spread our reach out further.
I personally believe in the philosophy of treating my clients as though we are friends but in a professional demeanor. By stepping into a situation with complete confidence, I am able to appear relaxed and calm in my transactions.
I love the satisfaction I receive not only working with clients but working with my team. As a team we unite with a shared interest; being able to surpass clients' needs through efficiency and dedication.
One of the biggest benefits of working as a team is the availability. Instead of having one agent to accommodate your needs, you have an entire team that's ready and able to assist you at any time.
We love being able to make a difference in a person's real estate experience. Let us make a positive impact on yours!
As first-time home buyers and being new to the Denver area, we were extremely hesitant begin looking at properties. As much as we knew it made sense to buy, we were intimated and overwhelmed by the whole process. Despite our uncertainty, we met Rick for the first time, after being referred by a friend. Immediately, he made the process seem easier, and got us excited to find a home. Being equally particular and inexperience buyers, Rick was extremely patient and always had our best interest in mind. He was exactly what we needed to guide us through a very important decision in our lives. As new home owners, we could not be more happy with the way things turned out. - Kirk Shaffer
As a first time home buyer, Rick's causal approach made me feel very comfortable and at ease in an unfamilliar situation. He took the time to accurately answer any and all questions my husband and I had from start to finish. Having been frustrated even with our own selves at our "greenness" and endless indecisiveness, Rick showed us unconditional patience and a great sense of humor. I did not feel pressured or hurried at all during the whole process and I greatly appreciated that! - Alex Larson
