In this session there will be a minimum of 3 participants and a maximum of 6, and the athletes will work in the weight room – and will also work on proper running form, speed and agility drills, and participate in conditioning circuits using weighted ropes, weighted sleds, TRX Suspension Training, TRX Rip Trainers, medicine balls, slide boards, Plyo-Boxes and MORE! And you can always let us know of sports specific exercises you need your athletes to work on. They will also get some helpful nutritional handouts. GET YOUR TEEN READY FOR FALL SPORTS! If you are interested in reserving a place for your teen athlete, please email Michael for registration form and payment info: [email protected] Please note that in addition to the times mentioned on the calendar, you can set up a specific time to have your teen or a group of teens trained with one of our certified trainers. Just let us know the days/times you are looking for, and we will set up a special Semi-Private Training Session JUST FOR YOU!
JULY CALENDAR: WILL OUR MORNING TRAINING SESSIONS CHANGE THIS SUMMER? YES . . . Because the kids are out of school and we have Fit & Fun Camp going on a few weeks during July, here are the changes you can expect to see. Every weekday morning, we will continue to hold our 5:45 a.m. Total Development Bootcamp. But our mid-morning sessions that usually start at either 9:30/10:00 a.m. will begin at 8:00 a.m. This will give our clients the option of getting a morning workout done before heading to the pool or the beach (without having to get up too early) . . . and it will also allow us the opportunity to squeeze in some group training (for adults & teens 15+), prior to Fit & Fun Camp that begins 9:00 a.m. All of our 12:30 p.m. classes or bootcamps will remain the same (and a few new ones added in July) — and our evening schedule will remain the same – with the exception of our Monday night bootcamp moving to 6:30 p.m. and the addition of our new training session, “WARRIOR BOOTCAMP” –which will start at 7:30 p.m. AND WE ADDED ANOTHER POWER & STRENGTH SESSION ON SATURDAY MORNINGS SINCE IT IS SO POPULAR ON THE OTHER DAYS! PLEASE NOTE SLIGHT CHANGE IN HOURS ON 4TH OF JULY — CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR JULY GROUP TRAINING CALENDAR.
SEMI-PRIVATE TRAINING: Please take note that we now offer Semi-Private Training every week on our calendar: Monday’s at 4:30 p.m., Thursday’s at 6:30 p.m. and Friday’s at 11:30 a.m. These are private sessions with a minimum of 3 participants and a max of 6. They are a great way for friends or team-mates to get a specific workout or additional attention. Rate is $20 per person (this is not part of our Unlimited Training program). This is a great way to get personal training at a fraction of the cost of one-on-one training. And you are welcome to arrange other times . . . just call us (908) 428-7978.
TAKE-IT-ON-THE-ROAD . . . !MPACT Style: We have a gift for all our clients! We created a brand new workout that you can do on vacation — no equipment necessary! Fun body-weight & conditioning exercises that will help keep you fit on vacation. We revised it from the one we gave out last year, and we’ll have handouts for all our clients available at the front desk. If we are eating more on vacation, we better move MORE! haha! Let’s do it!
AUGUST PARENTS/KIDS = SUCCESS: Last year we had a lot of parents tell us they couldn’t come to our 9:30 a.m. training session because their kids were done with camps and they needed something for their kids to do. Well we are going to solve that problem . . . During August we will have a Fit-Strength Group Training session every Monday and Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. . . . So we invite you to come to train – ALONG WITH YOUR CHILDREN (at the rate of only $5 per child). Kids (ages 6+) will be guided through fun agility drills and obstacle courses while the parents train with our trainers . . . It’s a WIN/WIN! This session is included as part of our Unlimited Training Program or just $20 to drop-in. We still plan to offer some 8:00 a.m. group training sessions in August on other days since that might fit people’s schedule better for the summer months.
10-DAY CLEANSE: If you are looking to lose a few pounds (Pre-Vacation or Post-Vacation) . . . . LISTEN UP! In addition to losing body-fat, you will also cleanse your body, improve energy levels, and jumpstart your fitness plan — and you can do it very simply in just 10 DAYS! Please email us, and we’ll tell you how to get your herbal cleanse kit, and we will even provide you with some complimentary diet guidelines so you achieve optimal results during your cleanse. We’ll coach you through the process to keep you motivated and on track for success! Email: [email protected]
!MPACTing the Jr. Raiders Football Organization: Our !MPACT Trainers are getting ready to hit the fields once again for a FREE Conditioning Program at the Triangle Complex. The Jr. Raiders organization is having their FREE program every Monday and Thursday from 6-8:00 p.m. We continue to help them with their conditioning program not only because we are one of the Jr. Raiders official sponsors, but also because my son, Tony (age 12), plays in the Patriot Varsity Division . . . and my husband, Michael, is a coach every year. It feels really good to give back to an organization that has truly developed into a wonderful program for the kids. We are not only going to help lead their warm-ups and conditioning, but have prepared a handout for the coaches so they can use it to guide their practices and pre-game conditioning. Since I am also certified in Sports Nutrition, I plan to provide the kids with a brief nutrition lecture at the fields which will help them understand the importance of “fueling for optimal performance”. Stay tuned as the Jr. Raiders will send out an email to let you know what night that will happen. I will also provide a handout with some helpful suggestions for meals and snacks. Lastly, I will stress the importance of drinking WATER instead of all those sugary sports drinks. For lengthy outdoor training or the athlete who really needs a little more to help with electrolyte balance, I highly recommend: ReHydrate from Advocare: www.Advocare.com/140336935. Let me know if you ever want to try it . . . I usually have some I can share. It is a powder that conveniently mixes into your water bottle.
CLIENT HIGHLIGHT
Meet Erin Moore (pictured above): Erin (age 18) is truly a special young lady and had a very special goal in mind when she came to our training facility. Erin, who just graduated from Hillsborough High School in June, came to us a few months ago after she received her acceptance letter from West Point. Although very athletic already, she wanted to get her body conditioned for the wonderful experience she was about to embark upon in the fall! Let me tell you a little bit about Erin . . . Hillsborough High School voted Erin “Most Athletic” this year, as she was on the soccer team, swim team, girls lacrosse team, girls track team, and YES the Hillsborough High School football team! Erin has been a Girl Scout since she was very young, and just received her Golden Award this year. She has high hopes of majoring in Engineering at West Point and wants to serve in the military flying helicopters. I don’t think I have ever met a more disciplined, confident and mature gal at 18 years old. West Point has a list of exercises their students should master, so Erin came to !MPACT to make sure she showed up in September ready to perform! Erin’s parents (Jim and Kathy) were both in the ROTC Program at Penn State, so I’m guessing that played a role in how disciplined and respectful Erin is at such a young age. She has one older sister (Katie) and a younger sister (Megan), and I can only imagine the whole family is top notch! Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Moore for raising and outstanding gal. Good luck, Erin. We’ll miss your energy at !MPACT when you leave on July 1st, and hope you will come back to train with us whenever you are home on break. HUGS!
CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!
CONGRATUALTIONS TO OUR OWN MIKE KELDERMAN! Mike (pictured above) is one of our trainers at !MPACT and took first place in the Garden State Strongman Competition on Saturday, June 21st. These competitions are no joke . . . front squatting 350 lbs. — lifting a 250 lb. atlas stone – flipping a tire that weighs 750 lbs. and lots more! Thanks for setting a good example for our clients. Training rigorously, eating healthy, and setting goals . . . It’s ALL GOOD. Way to go, pal!
CONGRATULATIONS TO CHRIS TRUNCALE AND DAVE BARKER! These are two of our amazing bootcampers (pictured above) who entered the Spartan Race in June. They came in 27th among 5,631 Spartan racers! They were 7th in their age group and were in the top 1% in all categories! What? That’s crazy/great! Haha! You guys are awesome . . . You trained hard at !MPACT so you would sail through the obstacle portion of the race – and you were dedicated to your running every week. It sure showed on the day of the race.
CONGRATS TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF TEAM !MPACT: I have to give a huge SHOUT OUT to all our clients who entered and FINISHED the Spartan Race in June. In addition to Dave Barker and Chris Truncale, we are equally proud of a few of our clients who came together to create “Team !MPACT”. You guys make us really happy and super proud. Congrats to: Don Cavaliere, Stacy Bisco, Lynn Moody, Carole Zydiak, Eddie Szep and last but not least, Anthony Truncale – who is only 6 years old and did the Spartan Race for kids the same day! (see photo of group above)

30-MINUTE NUTRITIONAL COACHING SESSIONS: !MPACT has been offering our hour and a half, One-on-One Nutritional Sessions since we opened a little over two years ago.

So in addition to these hour and a half sessions, !MPACT is now offering 30-Minute Nutritional Coaching Sessions for only $49.00. During this session our trainers will give you a brief overview of our most important nutritional tips, as well as outline a detailed sample diet for you to follow (based on your goals and your food likes and dislikes).

SHARING TREATS AND RECIPES: At !MPACT we love sharing healthy treats with our Saturday bootcampers. As a nice post-workout treat, I usually make a healthy Greek yogurt parfait or I bake a wholesome cake with added protein powder – or sometimes I make protein drinks to serve with fresh fruit. On May 1st we announced we would continue to serve these fun and healthy post-workout treats on the FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH. We’ve had several offers from clients who wish to share their favorite healthy recipes with our group on other Saturdays during the month . . . Great idea! Just let us know which Saturday session (6:00 or 7:30 a.m.) you’d like to share your treats! LOVE this family environment we’ve created at !MPACT . . . THANK YOU, Kate Mahr and Leigh & Niles Johnson for sharing your healthy treats with us during June!
