HILLARIE SCANNELLI CONTRACTED TO PROVIDE NUTRITIONAL COACHING TO NFL SCOUTING COMBINE ATHLETES: During the months of December and January, I was very excited to be a part of the S3 Sports Academy, helping to outline specific meal plans and nutritional supplements for their athletes who are training for the NFL Scouting Combine and the NFL Draft in the spring. Some of these athletes need to gain weight for their position, while others need to decrease bodyfat to enhance speed and performance. The NFL draft is only 2½ months away . . . and what an exciting time it will be to follow the college athletes as they pursue their dreams. When you combine natural talent, great coaching, proper nutrition, and cutting-edge training, you are sure to succeed!!! I was privileged to work with the following athletes from S3 to help them prepare for their big day: Brandon Watts (LB) Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets; Brian Clark (OL) Bloomsburg Huskies; Carlo Calabrese (LB) Notre Dame Fighting Irish; Jordan Harris (WR) from Bryant University Bulldogs; Franklyn Quiteh (RB) Bloomsburg Huskies; Charles Sawyer (CB) Ole Miss Rebels; Karim Barton (OL) Morgan State Bears; Anthony Baskins (DB) Carson-Newman Eagles.

WELCOME TO OUR TEAM,
Trainer, John Balle’ and Intern, Alex Fontanetta:
A few words from John Balle´: I am a certified Personal Trainer with over 16 years in the industry. I can’t begin to describe to you how much of an amazing feeling it is to share my passion and knowledge of health and fitness that I obtained throughout my career. Hillsborough is my home and for the last seven years, I have been operating my training business called Balle’ Personal Fitness Training, LLC. I had such a great experience running my business out of the Body Shop, but as we all know that gym had to close suddenly. I have relocated my clients, in addition to having the extreme pleasure of being part of IMPACT Training. I will be available for personal training at !MPACT, in addition to taking on some bootcamp training. I feel so blessed to be a part of a very special facility, and I am so excited to bring to you my energy and love for fitness. Throughout my career I have had the privilege of working with many populations of clients . . . elite athletes, clients with chronic illnesses, children, seniors, special needs population, and the everyday gym go-er looking to take their body and health to another level. My past experiences include Balle’ Bootcamps, P.T.S. Personal Training Studio, L.A. Fitness in Piscataway as the General Manager, and Golds Gym in Greenbrook are just a few of the places where I’ve worked to grow into the trainer I am today. In addition to be a trainer, I am athlete as well. Hockey has always been my love, but Bodybuilding has been a big rival for many years now. I entered five NPC-sanctioned Bodybuilding Contests, walking away with three first-place titles and taking second place in the others. This year I plan on making my bodybuilding comeback in late summer and will be competing as a super heavyweight. With dedication, discipline and determination any goal can be achieved and any obstacle can be conquered. Looking forward to working with you all. If you are interested in personal training with John, please call or email us and we will get you on his calendar: [email protected]
Welcome Alex Fontanetta (!MPACT Intern): Wait till you meet Alex . . . She’s young, energetic, well-educated, fun, motivating, and super-fit! We are really excited to have Alex interning with us as she completes her ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) certification. She already has her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Fordham University and has experience as the soccer coach for Mount Saint Mary Academy and Jersey United Soccer Club. Alex, played soccer at national, high school, and college levels, and has worked many years as a youth soccer coach. She also worked as a Division 1 Strength and Conditioning Coach. She is a great addition to our team so please look for her at !MPACT as she helps with our bootcamps and other programs.

So I met with the owners of TLG, Steve and Maribeth to talk about implementing an !MPACT Menu – which would be delicious foods that are also calorie-conscious. So if you live or work locally in Hillsborough, you can stop in to check out the !MPACT Menu and know you are staying on track with your weight-loss plan.
