YOGA – SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12TH! As a special treat and to see the level of interest, we are hosting a Yoga Session on Sunday, October 12th from 8:30-9:30 a.m. This will not only help to enhance core strength and flexibility, but will also do wonders for your spirit. Annmarie Ovares will be our Yoga instructor, and she comes to us with many years of experience. She is very excited to lead our group in a Yoga-Fusion type session that is great for every fitness level. You will enhance flexibility, strengthen your core, and leave invigorated! There will be a $10 drop-in fee for all participants, as this is not part of our regular training calendar. If you are new to !MPACT, just fill out a short registration/waiver form when you arrive. Please note: participants should bring a yoga mat. We chose the start time at 8:30 a.m. so you still have time to spend with your family on Sunday – and still time to make it to church if you want. AND it is not too early in case Sunday is your day to sleep in a bit. We hope you will join us for a great morning on the 12th!
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS PINS FOR ALL OUR CLIENTS! As I am sure you already know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I always look forward to seeing the boys on my son’s football team wearing pink socks with their uniforms on Saturdays . . . and we would love to add to that awareness. We found these great buttons/pins with inspiring messages to give to our clients so they can pin them on their gym bag, scarves, purses, . . . or stick them on the visor of their car. We hope to encourage women to go for regular exams – in addition to doing self-exams. And we also would love to honor those who lost their lives to breast cancer – and praise those women who have undergone treatments for breast cancer. We actually have a few clients who are breast cancer survivors, and we want to applaud them for staying so strong and positive throughout their ordeal. We will have them at the front desk for all our clients during the month of October.
Kid/Teen Athletes with GOOD REPORT CARDS: We always want to encourage kids to train hard to enhance their performance . . . but we also want to remind them that academics come FIRST. Therefore, if any of our elite athletes (grades 6-12) get straight “A’s” on their next report card, we have a Smoothie King Gift Card for them! It is always nice to be rewarded! If your kids are training with us, make sure they bring their next report card in to show us!
SPOTLIGHT ON OUR TRAINERS !
When I had a home-based business prior to opening !MPACT Training, I loved that my business was super busy, accommodating 35-40 clients every week. But I knew there were just so many hours in a day . . . there were so many lives I could not touch or inspire or educate about fitness. So my husband and I opened !MPACT in February of 2012 with the hope of reaching a greater audience by hiring like-minded trainers, and presenting our community with something “different”. Well we are pleased to say that we are getting new clients all the time and our business is filled with passion for helping others. We would not be able to do that without dedicated, well-educated trainers . . . so I would LOVE to do a highlight on my two trainers this month. If you have goals of losing weight, getting stronger, and dedicating time to training, you would totally benefit from personal training sessions with either of these two shining stars.
Michael Kelderman is a Hillsborough resident, graduated from Hillsborough High School in 2006, and played varsity football in high school as a Defensive End. Mike went on to play football in college, graduating from George Mason with his B.S. in Exercise Science in 2010. In completing his B.S. degree, he finished off with an internship at Georgetown, where he gained experience working with college athletes in their strength and conditioning department. He moved back home to Hillsborough where he was hired as a Personal Trainer for a training facility in Ewing, New Jersey . . . and in May of 2012, came to !MPACT taking on a few part-time hours. It wasn’t long before we knew Mike was an excellent fit for our facility and wanted him full-time. Not only is he extremely dedicated to helping our clients set and reach their goals, but he leads by example. Mike trains rigorously several times per week and enters Strongman Competitions throughout the year. These competitions are no joke . . . heavy deadlifts, lifting Atlas stones, overhead log pressing, and even lifting cars! But what I love more about Mike is his ability to understand different fitness levels. Mike won his last three contests in his weight class too!! Not everyone can or should be trained the same way, and Mike does an excellent job of judging how each client should train. He encourages each client to reach deep down to bring the very best to each and every training session . . . whether it is a woman in her 70’s or a high school athlete looking to make the football team, Mike knows how to customize their program. We’re so lucky to have you, Mike Kelderman and so happy to have you on our !MPACT Team. If you would like to make an appointment with Mike – for yourself, your spouse or teen athlete, just give us a call and we can let you know his availability (908) 428-7978.
Alexandra Fontanetta is also a Hillsborough resident, who graduated from Mt. Saint Mary’s High School in Watchung, NJ in 2008, and played competitive soccer since she was very young – throughout high school. She also played soccer in college while she was attending Rensselaer Polytech, studying Physics and Psychology. Alex transferred to Fordham and graduated with her degree in 2012. Alex also received her certification in Personal Training from American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and completed her internship with us here at !MPACT Training. She had a strong desire to pursue her career in personal training – especially since she has several years of coaching experience in soccer, as well as in strength & conditioning. Alex was formerly coaching soccer for Mt. Saint Mary’s High School in Watchung, and continues to coach for Jersey United Soccer Club (multiple age groups 12-16, boys and girls). Alex has more energy than we know what to do with (haha!). She is super bright, very motivating, and extremely disciplined with her own workouts and nutritional plan. It is a breath of fresh air to find trainers who have the versatility to work with clients of all ages. Alex has a nice clientele with people ranging in age from 8 to 73, and I am super impressed with her ability to read people and to push them to do more than they thought was possible. She is teaching women and men in their 30’s and 40’s how to weight train properly, and challenging kids & teens so they become stronger and faster. She is doing a little bit of everything! Alex’s clients LOVE her, and look so forward to training every week. If you would like to make an appointment with Alex – for yourself, your spouse or your kids/teens, just give us a call and we can let you know her availability (908) 428-7978.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS . . . FREE CONSULTATION: As many of you already know, I do my best to research supplements to ensure safety along with positive results for clients who are training with us. Whether it is an elite athlete at the high school who needs healthy choices for snacks and quality protein powder to mix into their post-workout shakes — or a woman who just had a baby and is looking to get back to her “pre-baby” weight, I need to find solutions to help my clients reach their goals. I always choose supplement lines that are banned-substance free — and I also found a super healthy supplement line that is gluten-free, soy free and is also FREE of artificial sweeteners. So no matter what your body needs, I can help you find just the right supplements to compliment your daily nutritional plan. If you would like a free consultation to discuss which supplements might be right for you, email me. I would be happy to help you . . . whether you need to lose weight, increase lean muscle mass, or just get healthy! We can set up some time to chat. Email me at: [email protected]
WEIGHT-LOSS CENTRAL . . . NUTRITIONAL CLEANSING! If you are like me and had an amazing summer, then you might be ready to reel yourself in with regards to your diet plan. Although I really enjoyed my summer, I also realize that as I am getting older, it becomes harder and harder to lose the pounds we gain while enjoying life. Over the last two and a half years (since we opened IMPACT), I put on a few pounds due to the long hours and timing of meals. Then lost a few pounds with a weight-loss challenge I participated in back in March. As much as that made me happy, I still had a few more pounds to lose, and I also found maintaining that weight-loss an even bigger challenge. I would exercise throughout the week since it is something I love to do – and I would bring healthy lunches and snacks to work, in addition to eating healthy breakfasts and dinners at home. However, then the weekends would come along – and my summers were filled with fun, family occasions, BBQ’s with friends, swim parties, vacations, etc. So between the additional calories on the weekends and those darn “spirits” (for me, it’s wine I enjoy), it was difficult to maintain the weight I lost back in March – and it was super difficult to continue my quest to lose a few more pounds. Remember, I am just a person too (haha!). And then I am going to throw the age card out there LOL. As many of you know (and helped me celebrate), I turned 50 at the end of July. Maintaining your weight or losing weight becomes even more challenging as we age, so I felt I needed a program that had a little more structure, and I wanted to use cleaner supplements . . . ones that didn’t contain soy, gluten or artificial sweeteners. I was introduced to Nutritional Cleansing and am quite happy with the fact that you not only lose weight on the program, but you are cleansing your digestive track down to the cellular level – creating an alkaline balance with steady blood-sugar levels. And the magic is in the maintenance . . . There is a set maintenance plan for you to follow once you reach your goal weight, and that is super important for me AND for my clients. I am just finishing 30 days on this program and will be continuing this journey through the month of October as well (on their maintenance program). Lastly, I am “thinking” of being extra brave by sharing my BEFORE and AFTER photos in my next newsletter. It is not only important to share information and products that actually work, but it is important that people understand the program works when you commit yourself to it. And people need to know that I am just a person – who struggles to stay fit too. So if you are tired of saying you will start your weight-loss program on Monday – and you keep saying it every Monday, then ask yourself if you are happy with that kind of progress. I know our lives can be so busy – I get it. But if you finally want to get rid of any extra weight you might be carrying (especially in your mid-section, where your health is at risk), then drop me an email so I can talk to you in greater detail about how to get started with our Nutritional Cleansing Program: [email protected]. I am on day 21 of this 30-Day Program, and I lost 12 lbs. and 10.5 inches (and those measurements were only taken in my mid-section . . . around my back/chest down through my hips!). I’m super pumped to be going to my nephews wedding on October 4th in Washington DC very close to my goal weight!! YAHOO!
LAUNCH PARTY FOR 30-DAY NUTRITIONAL CLEANSING PROGRAM – TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14TH AT 7:30 P.M.: Don’t wait till after the holidays to get yourself in check! If you were to start a 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse by the middle-to-end of October, that would take you right to Thanksgiving – and you could be down 10+ pounds by Thanksgiving!! Then the magic is in the maintenance with this program, so you will have a great plan of attack for heading into December/holidays and the New Year. Make this be the first year you are not starting out in January behind the 8-ball!!! Please email us if you would like to add your name to the list of attendees for our launch party – where you will learn all you need to know about Nutritional Cleansing and how to get your 30-Day kit so you are ready to go! Learn about the products and why they work, see amazing success stories, and get motivated and inspired! Email us at: [email protected]
HOLIDAY BOUTIQUE! Mark your calendars – Thursday, November 13th from 6-9:00 p.m. I know it is early to think about the holidays, but if you want to plan an event that is successful for each vendor and successful for a charity that is near and dear to your heart, then you’ve got to start planning now! Our Holiday Vendor Boutique will, again, be benefiting Steps Together (which is a local charity started by a wonderful, young couple – Courtney & Mike Newman – and they use all the money collected/donated to help families with a medical crisis). At our Holiday Vendor Boutique, each vendor pays $40 for space (bring your own table), and 100% of that money is donated to Steps Together. This year our event will be even bigger – more vendors – so you can get a great jump-start on your holiday shopping!! We will have great costume jewelry from NYC, as well as home-made items: scarves, baby clothing, stationery, soaps, marble pen/pencil sets, and more! Here are some other great products/items we will have at the boutique: Home-Made Jams by Kim, Cabi Clothing, Origami Owl Lockets, Thirty-One bags, WildTree Products, Arbonne Cosmetics, Gymboree Gift Certificates & Children’s Toys, !MPACT Training Gift Certificates & Nutritional Supplements/Fitness Baskets, Mary Kay, Cookie Fun by Maria (decorative cookies for EVERY event), Jamberry Nails, Pampered Chef, Madelyn’s Bowtique, home-made ornaments for every occasion, and MORE! Norz Hill Farm will be represented and will have pies to taste – and you can place your orders for Thanksgiving Day pies – YAHOO! And I will have a lovely buffet of appetizers and desserts (some healthy, some festive) so get the gals together and make it a fun night out!
“HEALTHY” RECIPE . . .
Are healthy family dinners really hard for you to plan? Maybe you are rushing your kids off to fall sports – or you are coaching . . . Or maybe you have a really busy career so by the time you get home there is no time to plan something healthy. Well every football season, I round up all my easy-to-make, healthy recipes to help make life in the Scannelli home a little better. This recipe is so great because you can make a batch of it on Sunday night and use it for one or two dinners during the week. Some of you might remember having Sloppy Joe sandwiches as a kid (ground beef with a savory tomato-based sauce served on a roll) . . . Well, this is a healthier version . . . And this will make at least 8 servings! My son, Tony, actually has this as his post-practice snack, since he comes home from football practice ravenous, and I would rather him eat REAL FOOD rather than munch on chips.
Turkey Sloppy Joes:
Ingredients:
- 16 oz Lean Ground Turkey (2 packages – 1 lb. each)
- 6 oz Tomato Paste
- ¼ cup Tomato Ketchup (I use Annie’s All-Natural)
- 1 Medium-Size Yellow Onion (minced)
- 2 Garlic Cloves (minced)
- 1 Cup Low-Sodium Beef Broth
- 1 tsp Dry Mustard
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
Directions:
– Cook ground turkey in frying pan till done – chopping with spatula as you cook. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. You will see it thickens up nicely. Serve over salad or on a bun.
For those who are trying to decrease bodyfat after a fun summer . . . Serving Size = ¾ cup of Turkey Sloppy Joe meat for women, 1 cup for men: Serve over large tossed salad with plenty of raw chopped veggies and 2 Tablespoons of low-fat dressing. If you are feeding your family, they are welcome to have their Sloppy Joe on a bun. If you are cutting calories in an effort to trim up, we will skip the “starchy” carbs and will stick with salad.
CLIENT HIGHLIGHT
Meet Kristin Wishnow: Pictured above . . . . after the Jersey Girl Triathalon and with her adorable daughter, Madison after the Color-Run.
Kristin Wishnow is a 39-year old mother, wife, physical therapist, and fitness extraordinaire. Kristin and her husband Eric, live in Hillsborough with their three beautiful children (Madison 9, Andrew 6, and Megan 4). Before I go on telling all about Kristin’s background, I have to say that one of the reasons why I wanted to highlight her is because of her “inner athlete”. We all have an inner athlete – whether we played sports when we were younger or not . . . It is that piece of our heart that is so strong and determined and filled with dreams to be the best. I was so proud of Kristin completing the Jersey Girl Triathlon at the beginning of August . . . Running, swimming AND biking – such dedication to her training. Another reason I chose to write about Kristin is that she had several injuries to overcome this year – yet this mom of three didn’t let anything stop her. Imagine this . . . She was riding her bike, holding onto the handlebars when she hit a pothole unexpectedly, and the force slammed her hand into the gears on the handlebar – and the end result was a displaced articular fracture at the knuckle. This required surgery and rehab. Needless to say, Kristin couldn’t use her hands for weight training, BUT she wasn’t going to let that slow her down – she hit the pavement and got busy prepping for a 10 mile race. After a few months of running, she went to see her orthopedic doctor to find out why she was experiencing so much pain in her hip . . . She found out she had a hairline fracture in her hip from years of running. Really? So now her hip needs to heal – but her hand was healed – so she is back to !MPACT – with crutches – and only performs core and upper body exercises. You just can’t stop this gal, and we are happy to provide modifications for her! Kristin, we love your determination and your spirit is contagious. Can’t wait till you are healed and can dive into your workouts the way you would like to. Thank you for your dedication to staying fit – throughout the most difficult times. Kristin is also a HUGE supporter or the charity “Steps Together” so I would love to thank her for rallying the troops all the time in an effort to collect donations and to get people involved in the annual race. I’d also still love to give you a little background on Kristin . . . She graduated from University of Vermont majoring in Physical Therapy. Kristin has been working for Twin Boro Physical Therapy for 15 years – and will soon be taking on some additional hours just down the road from !MPACT at Total Care Physical Therapy. Kristin was always into sports and played soccer throughout high school. She went to college on a scholarship as a fast-pitch softball pitcher, and really enjoyed weight training in college. As our lives often take us in different directions, Kristin hadn’t weight trained after college until she joined !MPACT in September of 2013. You could see that competitive nature coming out as she pushed to get stronger and more athletic again. Kristin use to run for exercise years ago – then gave it up for a bit – but recently started running again so that she could enter 5K races with her daughter Madison. When I asked Kristin what she learned about her training at !MPACT, she said: “I’ve learned a ton.” “All the running I had been doing hasn’t helped bootcamp, but was instructed that bootcamp will help my running.” (since you build endurance) — She also said: “Form and quality of an exercise is more important than quantity . . . and with High Intensity Training, I am using aerobic and anaerobic systems, burning fat long after my workout is done.” “Although the scale has shown about a 5-7 lbs loss in a year, the loss of inches is most notable. I am down a size in pants!”

TEAM IMPACT – SPARTAN RACE! I can’t say enough about how proud of I am of our clients who met at bootcamp and joined forces to enter the Spartan Race on September 6th. In case you are unfamiliar with these mud races, it involves an 8-9 mile run with LOTS of muddy obstacles along the way. They had to climb walls, swim through mud, crawl under barbed wire, carry buckets of gravel/rocks, and more. Our !MPACT Trainers Mike Kelderman and Alexandra Fontanetta inspired and led this group – great job Alex and Mike . . . and we are really proud of our Spartan Race Finishers: Dave Barker, Dennis Knox, Dora & Eddie Szep, Carole Zydiak, Rich Princiotta, Martin Nielsen, and Lynn Moody. I love the way they look wearing their TEAM !MPACT shirts – thanks for representing, guys!
Dave Barker pictured above with his two very proud daughters, Alyssa and Lauren: SUPER DAD!
ANOTHER SHOUT OUT TO DAVE BARKER! Dave Barker . . . our client, our neighbor, our friend . . . And one heck of an athlete. We did a client highlight on Dave a few months ago . . . and we have to give him another SHOUT OUT! Not only did you do the Spartan Race with a bunch of !MPACT clients on September 6th, but then you entered the Spartan Beast and completed that race on Saturday, September 20th. The Spartan Beast is above and beyond the traditional Spartan Race. What was supposed to be a 10-13 mile race with obstacles turned out to be 14.9 miles this year with really challenging obstacles. Dave said this was harder than the marathon he ran – but yet he was super pumped he finished strong. No wonder you are a living hero to your daughters, Alyssa and Lauren! Way to go, Dave!
PAY-IT-FORWARD
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO REGISTERED FOR THE RACE THIS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th? 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 joined 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 – and these are all local families. Steps Together runners all wore team shirts – can’t believe there were over 400 runners wearing our new shirts! YAY! See our new logo design above.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR NEXT YEAR . . The Renaissance Hair Salon Fashion Show raised $17,000 for www.Steps-Together.com in May with an awesome red-carpet event.
