Fall in love with Utah at BBC 2015
Salt Lake City has much to offer its visitors in the summertime. The weather is perfect and there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy Utah’s picturesque landscape, whether you are strolling around downtown or roaming the nearby mountains.
Make a getaway out of your trip to Business Builder Conference, June 5-6, and explore Utah. Remember, registration opens April 15 at 9 a.m. Tickets will sell out within minutes so be ready!
Here are just a few examples of things you may want to put on your itinerary:
Shopping
Enjoy two beautiful and convenient, open-air shopping centers:
City Creek in the heart of Salt Lake is the newly opened retail masterpiece of one of the nation’s largest mixed-use downtown redevelopment projects. This unique shopping environment features a retractable glass roof, a creek that runs through the property, a pedestrian skybridge and more. This world-class fashion and dining destination offers over 100 stores and restaurants including Nordstrom, Macy’s, Tiffany & Co., Michael Kors, Coach, and Texas de Brazil Churrascaria, in a casual, pedestrian-friendly environment.
The Gateway is a fabulous, contemporary destination that delivers shipping, dining and entertainments. Shop and dine at over 130 stores and restaurants. Visit the beautifully restored 1908 Union Pacific Depot featuring early French Renaissance architecture and original artwork. Also, enjoy the Olympic Legacy Plaza featuring the “dancing waters” of the Olympic Snowflake Fountain that is overlooked by a classic clock tower.
Temple Square
Historic Temple Square in Downtown Salt Lake City is Utah’s number one tourist attraction and world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On your visit to the 35 acres of Temple Square you will be able to see, feel, taste, touch and experience Mormon culture and its pioneer heritage.
Mountain Resorts
Though best known for their annual 500 inches of the “Best Snow on Earth,” these mountains can be enjoyed long after the snow has melted. Utah has 14 incredible resorts, the majority of which are located within one hour of the Salt Lake City International Airport. Several of these resorts provide a plethora of spring and summer activities that range from tram rides and hiking trails to mountain roller coasters.
National Parks
With five national parks and Monument Valley, Utah is America’s national parks capital. These parks include:
Arches National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, Canyonlands National Park
Olympic Attractions
In 2002, Salt Lake hosted one of the most spectacular and memorable Winter Games in history. You can visit several of the competition venues such as the Olympic Cauldron Park (site of the Olympic Cauldron and opening and closing ceremonies), Utah Olympic Park (bobsled, luge, skeleton tracks and ski jumping), Utah Olympic Oval (speed skating and curling) and Soldier Hollow (cross-country skiing and biathlon).

How Will You Qualify for Legacy Retreat?
Legacy Retreat 2016 is less than 12 months away and we want to help you plan to get there! The first important step when qualifying is to understand exactly what you need to do.
Whether you’re a first-time qualifier or an alumni looking to earn another trip to Legacy Retreat, the qualifications are simple. Here’s a breakdown of how you can join Synergy in Kona – all expenses paid!
First-Time Qualifier
Team Members looking to qualify and attend for a first time must earn a total of 10 legacy points. Points can start accumulating at the Team Director level and carry over year-to-year. Click here for first-time qualifying details.
First-time Re-qualifier
If you’ve only qualified for and attended one Legacy Retreat in the past, you can re-qualify for Legacy Retreat 2016 in Kona doing one of the following during the 2015 qualification period:
• Maintain your highest executive rank 3 out of 12 months
• Rank advance to a new executive rank
Example 1: You qualified for and attended your first Legacy Retreat as a Team Elite. To qualify for Kona, you must reach a minimum title of Pearl Executive within the 2015 qualification period.
Example 2: You qualified for and attended your first Legacy Retreat as a Pearl Executive. To re-qualify for Kona, you must maintain your title of Pearl Executive 3 out of 12 months or rank advance to at least Emerald Executive within the 2015 qualification period.
Repeat Qualifier
If you’ve qualified for and attended Legacy Retreat more than once, you can re-qualify for Legacy Retreat 2016 in Kona by doing one of the following:
• Maintain your highest executive rank 4 out of 12 months
• Rank Advance to a new executive rank
Example: You qualified for and attended Legacy Retreat in 2012 as a Team Director. In 2013 you rank advanced to Pearl Executive, which allowed you to re-qualify and attend that year. In 2014 you only maintained your Pearl Executive title 2 out of 12 months, missing the re-qualification by two maintenance months. In 2015 you need to maintain your Pearl rank 4 out of 12 months or rank advance to Emerald.
Presidential Executives and Above
Team Members at the Presidential Executive level and above have slightly different re-qualifying criteria than the above. In addition, they are eligible to qualify for the VIP Elite Legacy Retreat package. Click here for complete details or contact your General Manager should you need further clarification.

It’s been one month since the SLMsmart Challenge officially kicked-off, and many Challengers are already seeing results and feeling great.
Jim Smith of Anaheim has been a positive and incredibly honest challenger so far. He’s tried other programs and diets in his life and sees the value of SLMsmart. Additionally, he’s quick to realize the realities of weight management. He knows it to be tough, he knows it to be rewarding. Here are a few insights he submitted at the end of his first 30 days:
In your Challenge experience, what has been the most pleasant surprise so far?
“The great taste of the new chocolate Health Shake. I typically mix two cups of either kale or spinach with 3 scoops of Health Shake mix and one cup of unsweetened almond milk. I cannot taste the kale or spinach. What a great way to get the benefits of these wonderful vegetables.”
What advice would you give to someone new to SLMsmart and the SLMsmart Challenge?
“Do your daily planning and tracking with the tools provided. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you are not perfect and slip from time to time. Get support wherever you can find it.”
What tool or product has been the most useful to you so far?
“Health Shake and the closed Facebook group.”
What would you say to someone who is CONSIDERING whether or not to join a SLMsmart Challenge?
“If you truly want to lose weight and be healthier, start immediately. If you don’t, you will find yourself looking at the same person in the mirror a year from now and be just as dissatisfied. The key is to take ACTION and START.”
Other thoughts?
“I must admit that it’s a battle. One doesn’t change 30 years of bad lifestyle choices overnight. This kind of program and these questionnaires help keep my goals in focus and allow me to start again every day with new optimism. I am committed to not giving up and making small changes each and every day.”
More spotlights coming soon! It’s not too late to start your own SLMsmart Challenge. For more information, click here or contact Customer Service at (801)769-7800.

SLMsmart Health Shake is a delicious meal replacement that can help you manage your weight. However, because Health Shake has been formulated with such a unique blend of proteins, it can be used as more than a weight management aide. In fact, Health Shake may be used as a helpmate for anyone who may be aspiring to build muscle, tone muscle, or maintain a powerful physique.This is why the winner of the current SLMsmart 90-day Challenge will be selected based on total body transformation and not simply the weight management results. Combined with the proper diet and exercise routine, SLMsmart can be a key player in helping to feed your muscles the protein, fat, and carbs that they crave to become stronger.Drew Manning is a great example of someone who uses Health Shake daily to maintain the muscle he has been developing and sustaining over time. As one of two SLMsmart coaches helping Challenge participants reach their target weights, he drinks Health Shake twice per day, every day.
Drew’s Muscle Maintenance Plan:
- For breakfast, mix 3 scoops of Health Shake with 8 oz. of water or almond milk, and blend together with your favorite fruits, vegetables or other healthy ingredients
- Mix 1-2 scoops of Health Shake with 8 oz. of water after completing a weight lifting workout routine
Drew has also recommended that anyone looking to add muscle will benefit from adding one more serving Health Shake to that daily routine.
Drew’s Muscle Building Plan:
- For breakfast, mix 3 scoops of Health Shake with 8 oz. of water or almond milk, and blend together with your favorite fruits, vegetables and other healthy ingredients.
- Mix 1-2 scoops of Health Shake with 8 oz. of water or almond milk after completing a weight lifting workout routine.
- Mix 1-2 scoops of Health Shake with 8 oz. of water or almond milk before going to bed at night.
When you work your muscles, the tissue breaks down. The whey, soy and casein proteins in SLMsmart are a slow-digesting formula that will aid in supporting muscles. Eating—or drinking—a protein-packed meal right before bed and soaking those muscles with protein is a strategy popular amongst bodybuilders.
In addition, SLMsmart’s formula contains healthy carbohydrates that help support glycogen levels and offers the body a full meal’s worth of vitamins and minerals.
“SLMsmart is a unique combination with a protein blend backed by science,” Drew said. “There is a specific reason that each ingredient and each amount is in this blend. That’s why I trust the SLMsmart technology in general. There is real science behind it. This product is different because there is a medical board behind it.”
Drew said that while drinking SLMsmart two or three times per day may seem mundane, it doesn’t have to be. SLMsmart is available in both vanilla and a new, rich chocolate flavor. He and his wife Lynn Manning have created a number of crave-worthy shake recipes that you can make. The recipes include a Butterfinger shake, chocolate mint shake and banana cream pie shake, to name a few, and are all found on the SLMsmart App that is made available to you by signing up for the 90-day Challenge.
