“HEALTHY” RECIPE . . . THANK YOU, STACY BISCO!
Mixed Berry Bliss Breakfast Bars (Vegan, Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free)
Ingredients:
1 + 1/2 cups 100% pure, uncontaminated, rolled oats***
3/4 cup whole almonds
Heaping 1/2 cup dried berries
1/2 cup pistachios
1/3 cup ground flaxseed
1/3 cup walnuts
1/3 cup pepitas
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 cup almond butter
Serving: Makes 16 bars
Notes:
1. Substitute any nut/seed of choice or dried fruit as desired. Sliced apricot, cranberries, cherries, dates & fig are all delicious here.
2. ***Pure oatmeal does not contain gluten however many commercially sold oats do due to cross-contamination issues. If you are gluten sensitive or have celiac disease, be sure to seek out certified ‘gluten-free’ oatmeal.
Directions:
1. Line an 8″x 8″ (or so) baking pan with parchment or wax paper such that the paper hangs over the edges (the pan I used is 7″ x 10″).
2. Combine the first 8 ingredients in a large bowl and mix to combine.
3. Add maple syrup or honey and apple sauce and mix to combine.
4. Add almond butter to mixture and mix until combined.
5. Place batter in prepared pan pressing down firmly with palm of hands (or mini-roller if you have one) and distributing as evenly as possible.
6. Allow pan to sit in freezer for approximately 1 hour.
7. Remove pan from freezer. Lift singular slab from pan by lifting up on paper. Set slab down and gently peel paper away. Slice slab diagonally into 8 long bars and then cut each long bar in half to create a total of 16 bars. I find these bars keep best in a sealed container/bag in the freezer.
CLIENT HIGHLIGHT:
Meet Dennis Knox: Pictured below with his beautiful 6-month old daughter, Amelia, and three-year old son, Liam.
Dennis has been training with us for a little over a year . . . and we are so proud of the changes he has made in an effort to become healthier and more fit. Since Dennis started training with us, he has lost a total of 38 lbs., and is stronger than he ever imagined he could be. Let me give you some background on Dennis . . . He is 35 years old, married (wife, Allyson) and is the father of two beautiful children. He received his Bachelors Degree in Biology from University of Rhode Island and is presently employed by Elusys Therapeutics as a Quality Assurance Manager. Dennis says he was always active playing sports as a kid and rowed crew freshman year at college. He ran on and off for about five years . . . then started running with Janet McCrae (also an !MPACT client) after seeing her running every morning. Dennis felt he was in good shape, but then after his son was born he fell out of the routine and put on some weight. After his friend Janet raved about !MPACT Training (Thanks Janet McCrae!), Dennis joined !MPACT in July 2012. Not only did he lose 38 pounds since he started with us, but he is entering mud races and has really cleaned up his daily diet too! Dennis continues to train with us 4-5 mornings per week, and feels that one of the most important things he learned at !MPACT was the importance of fueling your body properly before early morning workouts so that you burn bodyfat for fuel during your workout — NOT muscle. We are delighted to be an integral part of Dennis’ fitness journey and are so happy to have you training with us! Way to go Dennis!
CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!
STRONGEST GAL AROUND!: Congratulations to Stacey Kiernan for entering her very first Strongman/Strong-woman Competition – AND FOR TAKING 2nd PLACE!!! Stacey is pictured above with our Trainer, Mike Kelderman – who inspired her to enter her first contest.

Stacey, we are so glad you joined our !MPACT family a few months ago. You came to us with the hope of being inspired, and we obviously did . . . However, I’m not sure if you realize YOU turned out to be the one who inspires so many of us. Thank you, Stace!!!

PAY-IT-FORWARD
CHARITY RACE . . . PLEASE WALK OR RUN IT WITH ME AND BONES!: Yes, I was able to get my soon-to-be 13-year old son, Anthony (a.k.a. Tony “bones”) to register for the Steeplechase run (5K) on Sunday, September 28th. Won’t you walk or run this with us? It’s awesome that the donations collected will go to Steps-Together . . . my favorite local charity helping families with a medical crisis. As you know I was asked to be on their board of trustees several months ago, and I feel so great about what this non-profit organization does with ALL the money/donations they receive. They keep nothing! They give it all away to the 11 families/beneficiaries who are presently in the midst of a medical crisis. Courtney Newman (Co-Founder of Steps-Together) was able to help me create a website so people could run virtually! Therefore, if you are unable to take part in this event, maybe you would consider making a donation – which you can also do by clicking on the link to the special site that was created for this race. When you click on this, you will have the ability to register for the Steeplechase Run in Hillsborough on September 28th or simply make a donation. In addition to the 5K Tony and I are running, there is also a 10K and a new addition . . . a 2 mile walk for those who prefer to walk it. Let me know if you have any questions . . . happy to help, and hope you will run with Tony and me. When you register the Steeplechase Run through this website, your registration fee/donation will go to Steps Together. Thank you for helping these families in need. You can learn more about Steps Together along with info about the 11 families/beneficiaries on the attached link as well. Have a great day! LINK: http://www.razoo.com/story/Support-Our-Group
OPERATION !MPACT (honoring our military): !MPACT Training collected items for our soldiers serving overseas as part of Operation Jersey Cares organized by Star 99.1 Radio Station. In addition to collecting necessary toiletries and perishable foods, our Fit & Fun Camp kids made adorable heart-felt cards (pictured BELOW) for the soldiers that we included in the care packages. Thank you so much to our clients who donated items. Your constant generosity is really appreciated!
ERIN AT WEST POINT: You may have remembered that last month we highlighted one of our clients who was headed to bootcamp at West Point before starting her college classes in the fall. Erin Moore is a delightful young lady who trained with us before she left for West Point. She mentioned they could only receive “mail” . . . no use of cell phones or computers during bootcamp. Therefore, as part of Operation !MPACT, we decided to have some our Fit & Fun Campers write to Erin to tell her how proud they were of her and what an inspiration she is to all of them. Some of the notes just melted your heart. Can’t wait to touch base with Erin when she is starting her classes in the fall.

STEPS TOGETHER VIDEO: OK some of you know I am on the board for the charity, Steps Together . . . and you see me spreading the word about their upcoming fundraising events or events we are hosting at !MPACT Training. Well, you need to spend a minute looking at this beautiful and touching video that tells a little something about the beneficiaries of Steps Together, along with their mission. And many thanks to the Vinchur Family, who read all about Steps Together in my newsletters, and it moved them enough to make another generous donation. Thank you so much!

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. Sometimes people really need to sit down and learn the science behind a healthy diet, in addition to mapping out a customized plan for success. 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).

PERSONAL TRAINING AND SEMI-PRIVATE TRAINING IS GREAT FOR ATHLETES: If you have a young athlete (ages 8-18) who needs to set sports specific goals, let our trainers help you reach them with our one-on-one training sessions.

Our customized plans are based on each client’s specific goals – and we identify their strengths and weaknesses . . . then we get to work! We also have several athletes taking advantage of our Semi-Private Training. The term Semi-Private means that there is a limited number of participants. 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 hints. GET YOUR TEEN READY FOR FALL SPORTS!

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!
SHARING TREATS AND RECIPES: At !MPACT we love sharing healthy treats with our Saturday bootcampers.

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!
