October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month . . . Would you like to come for a FREE group training session? If you are not already an !MPACT client and would like to take one of our group training sessions, just wear a pink shirt or pink accessory of any kind during the month of October, and your training session is on us – YES, FREE! It is normally $20 to drop-in to any of our group training sessions.  And in honor of Breast Cancer awareness, !MPACT Training is giving out self-adhesive ribbons to all of our clients so they can wear them on their shirt, jacket, scarf, etc. One of the self-adhesive choices is a pink boxing glove that says “Fight like a girl” and the other is the traditional breast cancer awareness ribbon. It is so important to be proactive when it comes to your health. Be sure to get regular physical examinations and get routine blood work done. And for women, don’t miss your annual OBGYN visit or mammography . . . and regular self-exams are so important too. As it says on the walls in our facility: You get ONE body . . . Treat it WORLD-CLASS!

Would you LOVE to have a weekly diet plan emailed to you so you can decrease bodyfat and get lean and fit?  Would you believe !MPACT Training has a program that is only $19.99 per month, and not only will you receive weekly diet plans that include really simple recipes, but you will also receive LOTS of motivation.  This program TOTALLY takes the “guess” work out of dieting, and is a great way to stay on track  – without the feeling you are doing it all alone.  I also throw in some BONUS workouts here and there – so even if you are not presently an !MPACT client, you would still be invited to these FREE events.  We had a free yoga session last Sunday for 50 Shades of Fitness members, and on October 3rd, we are bringing in a Pilates master for a private session at 7:30 p.m.  I also plan to raffle off a few Personal Training sessions for 50 Shades members.  So although this is a nutrition-based program, random BONUS workouts are thrown.  We have several people who are doing this program strictly via email, since they don’t live close enough to come for training.  Program includes optional weigh-ins, body measurements, before & after photos and a big party at the end of this 11-month program.  It started at the beginning of September, and it will lead right up until my 50th birthday on July 30th, 2014!  Interested in taking charge of your health – and set some fitness goals?  Decrease bodyfat and overcome your obstacles and barriers! If you want “IN” contact:  [email protected]    For more details about this program . . . see next paragraph:

More on our 50 Shades of Fitness ProgramDo you keep saying you would like to decrease bodyfat and improve energy levels to get in the best shape of your life . . . yet obstacles and barriers keep popping up and you find yourself putting your hopes and dreams on the back-burner?  Let me help you!  As many of you know, I just had a birthday on July 30th, and I turned 49.  Yeah, yeah, I know it is “just” a number, but it really hit home for me because since my husband (Michael) and I opened !MPACT Training 18 months ago, I’ve had nothing but OBSTACLES AND BARRIERS popping up which are preventing me from reaching my own fitness goals.  I’m not complaining by any stretch of the imagination.  I couldn’t feel any more blessed that God keeps sending new clients to us every week.  I know that all our hard work to bring something different to Hillsborough has been paying off. We are transforming bodies and changing people’s lives – it’s awesome!   However, I don’t think I could have ever prepared myself for the amount of hours it takes to run a 4800 square-foot training facility.  So with spending less time on working out and “sometimes” not being prepared with the proper foods, I found my body changing a bit – just not looking quite as good as I did a year ago, and  I also feel that my energy levels are suffering.  So I wanted to inspire others and ask them to join me on my journey into my 50th Birthday!  This new program “50 Shades of Fitness” is rolled out on September 16th.  I figured I would give everyone time to recover from all the summertime fun at the beach – and get the kids settled and back into school.  You can start this program any time between now and July 30th. . . but the earlier you start, the better your chances you have of getting that body you have always wanted.  Decreasing bodyfat and increasing lean muscle mass is a “process”.  It doesn’t happen overnight.  So give this program the time it needs – get started as soon as you can!  If you wish to become a member, you will need to fill out an enrollment form so I will know all about you!  If you would like to know exactly what to expect from this membership or have questions or want pricing, email:  [email protected]

 CLIENT HIGHLIGHTS:

We decided that since we are so thrilled with the positive transformations our clients are making to their bodies and their lives, we would highlight one or two of them each month so they might inspire you:

  Name of Client:  Victoria Rivera (age 15 – athlete)

 Victoria Rivera:  She is 15 years old and is a freshman at Hillsborough High School.  She runs cross country and plays lacrosse.  Victoria’s mom, Maria, has been training with us for quite some time and encouraged her daughter to come for Elite Athlete Training back in April.  Not only is Victoria a pleasure to train, but she is really driven.  She works very hard and is so ridiculously “coachable”.  I say this because she trusts our knowledge and experience and has made nutritional changes, in addition to working really hard to build strength while improving speed, agility and endurance.  She understands that cleaner eating and rigorous training will make her the best athlete she can be, and we are truly honored to have her training in our facility.  Victoria is one of the triplets in the Rivera family, along with an older brother.  We love the fact that Victoria and her brothers (Stephen, Christopher and Michael) all come for training, and are all on their way to being the best they can be!  Way to go Victoria!

ANOTHER CLIENT HIGHLIGHT:  Do you remember one of the gals we featured last month in our CLIENT HIGHLIGHTS?  She was VERY pregnant (8 months) and still training (modified)?  Well, Congratulations to Diane Damiano.  We are so delighted to announce that Diane and Pete Damiano (and little sister, Luciana) welcomed Peter Damiano IV into their family on: August 23rd, 2013!!!  Mom and baby are perfectly happy and healthy, and Diane starts up training again with us in just a few weeks once she is cleared to return to exercising!  She said her labor and delivery went so SMOOTH thanks to her training.  And we can guarantee she would have her pre-baby body back in no time at all with diligence to her nutrition and training.  HUGS to the Damiano family, and so proud of you, 

 

And maybe you also remember the other gal, who is friends with Diane Damiano — who was also featured (pregnant) in our last newsletter . . . Well congratulations are in order for Jessica & Seth Freund (& family) too!  Below, see Jessica and Madelyn Eve Freund.  Madelyn was born on September 13th, and both baby and mom are doing great!  Jessica is returning to her training as well — and we are sure she will be looking and feeling like her FIT self in no time at all.  Congratulations!

MORE CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!

CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM !MPACT – SPARTAN RACE 2013 (pictured above): The Spartan Race is not for the faint-hearted. It takes place in the mountains (Mt. Killington) where participants have to run a total of 8+ miles, and in between there are tough and muddy obstacles. They swim through lakes and crawl under barbed wire . . . and maybe you are thinking this would only be for some type of elite athlete or professional athlete. Well guess again! We were inspired by our own Mike Kelderman (Trainer at !MPACT), along with one of our clients, Martin Nielsen, both of which had done a Spartan Race before. Not only did we inspire 9 more clients to join Mike and Martin at this event on September 8th, but they trained so hard for it.  Mike Kelderman even ran some additional training on Sunday’s called MUDD Training.  And this was a way for those training for the Spartan to get stronger and more confident for the big day!  I met with the group prior to the event to make sure their nutrition was up-to-speed for the day of the event, as well as the entire week leading up to the event.  Dennis Knox, another one of our !MPACT clients organized the team, and we couldn’t be more proud of:  Dora and Eddie Szep, Dave Barker, Carole Zydiak, Don Cavalier, Chris Truncale, Janet McCrae, Dennis Knox, Martin Neilsen, and Mike Kelderman.  This race proved that ordinary people can do extraordinary things!

CONGRATULATIONS TO . . .  Lori P. who came to me for nutritional counseling back at the end of June.  Despite the fact that losing weight in the summer is so hard since we are exposed to more food and “spirits”, Lori decided to take on the challenge and follow our 21-Day Beach Body Diet — and then once that was over, she continued to follow the plan.  She just weighed in today and got re-measured, and her results were amazing.  From July 1st through September 27th, Lori lost 14.5 pounds and a total of 22.25 inches.  Way to go Lori!  If you want to get set up on a Beach Body Plan, give us a call!  908-428-7978.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER OF OUR MONTHLY DRAWING:  You can log onto our website and enter your name to win gift certificates for training!  Congrats to:  Natalia Scheflen who won a $50 Gift Certificate to use towards Unlimited Training!  Come into see us, Natalia!
