Water Stone Health Care Plan

Levi shows off some items that will help keep you healthy both on the rock and in your everyday life.

Thera Cane

Most self-massagers aren't worth a plugged nickel.  This is not the case with the Theracane.  You will not believe how thoroughly you can work yourself over-- like you just had an hour and a half of deep tissue massage.  We have sold hundreds of these over the years and you better believe we all have our own.   Click here to pick up your very own.

Nutriex Sport

Sharma 'roids are what we call this supplement.  Chris won't go without 'em.  Neither will Tiger Woods.  Really, this is not a joke!  They were developed by Tiger's knee surgeon in Salt Lake City and formulated for high physical demands, including intense training, injury response and recovery from surgery. This supplement provides therapeutic levels of glucosamine and chondroitin, as well as 41 other nutrients.  Since we can't afford to provide health insurance for our employees, we sell them this stuff at cost.  Poor man's insurance!  www.nutriex.com

Kula Yoga Studio

We know, you are tired of hearing about how you really ought to work some yoga into your program.  Well...you really ought to.  You have no idea what it will do for your overall health and your climbing in particular.  You aren't gonna be 23 forever and then you will need all the help you can get.  Kula is our local yoga studio, located above Marathon Bicycle Company, across the square from Water Stone.  They offer a full schedule of classes for every level.  The space is cozy and classes are affordable.  Find out what you are missing!  The schedule is posted on the website - www.wvkula.com

 
Fayetteville Skate Park Tour

The new Fayetteville skate park has got people talking.  And it is all good!  Not that we claim to know much about skating here at Water Stone, but we've been listening to the folks who have been flocking to town to sample our gem of a park, and they are loving it. Small in size but big in thrills, this all-concrete park features three challenging bowls and a variety of street elements as well.  Join ex-Water Stone employee Bill Chouinard, Sarah Chouinard and their boys as they trace the history of this great addition to the New River Gorge scene.

Four years ago Bill and Sarah decided they needed to take matters into their own hands if they wanted a place for their kids to skate.  They kicked their fundraising machine into over drive and raised over
$200,000 so that they could hire one of the premier skate park design companies in the country, Grindline, to design and build the park.  In this video, Bill, Big Cheese in the local skate scene, will talk you through the specifics about what you'll find at the park.  Then, all you need to do is remember to throw your skateboard, pads and helmet into the car when you are heading here and you can get a few hours in after your climbing day.

The Skate Park is located in the Fayetteville Town Park.  Ask anyone you see on the street to direct you there.

You can snag the elusive three-sport day if you also remember to bring your mountain bike or running shoes--a great trail network leaves right from the Town Park.
