GROUP TRAINING CALENDAR CHANGES:

PLEASE COME TO TRAIN WITH US ON HALLOWEEN, AS OUR STAFF IS SURPRISING YOU IN COSTUME WITH TREATS AT THE END OF BOOTCAMP (he-he-he!)Please note there are some slight changes to our schedule as we will NOT be hosting our 6:00 a.m. bootcamp on the morning after Halloween (Nov. 1st).  The 7:30 a.m. bootcamp and 9:00 a.m. Power & Strength Sessions on that day are not affected.

We also have some changes on our calendar due to our 3rd Annual Holiday Vendor Boutique on November 13th – There will be NO group training or personal training on that evening since our floor space will be loaded with vendors – supporting our favorite charity, “Steps Together”!  YAY!

Changes to Thanksgiving weekend schedule:  On Thanksgiving morning, we are offering an 8:30 a.m. Bootcamp, and will be closed for the rest of the day.  Then on the day after Thanksgiving, we will NOT hold our 5:45 a.m. or our new  9:30 a.m. Five + One group training session.  Instead, we will have an 8:30 a.m. Bootcamp.  We will also have our 12:30 p.m. bootcamp as well as our 4:00 p.m. Plyometrics/Speed & Agility Class, our 4:30 p.m. Weight-Training Session and our 5:30 p.m. Power & Strength Session.  So Friday evening sessions will carry on as usual – and on Saturday, bootcamps and Power & Strength will take place at their regularly scheduled times.

NEW GROUP TRAINING SESSION ON FRIDAY MORNINGS AT 9:30 A.M.!  It is called FIVE + ONE!  Our trainer will outline five weight-bearing exercises + one cardio exercise to complete in a circuit – and when those exercises are complete, five new exercises are outlined with another cardio exercise.  This is another form of interval training geared towards burning FAT and building lean muscle . . . awesome workout – and we’re always changing things up a bit so you get the most out of your workouts!

Full-Body Fitness ClassesWe are now offering a 30-Minute Full-Body Class on Mondays at 5:30 p.m. with a 30-Minute High Intensity Class (HIT/Cardio) immediately following Full-Body Class at 6:00 p.m.  These half-hour sessions are only $10 to drop in, so stay for both and it is only $20 . . . or FREE for Unlimited Training clients.  We had to remove the Full-Body Fitness Class from our Thursday calendar at 5:30 p.m. since our Elite Athlete training session (also happening at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday) is growing so nicely.  However, we are still offering Group Training for adults and teens (ages 15+) on Thursday evenings, so please try our newly upgraded TRX Training at 6:30 p.m.

TRX Training session on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. is now longer (50/55-minute session instead of only 45 minutes).  For those who enjoyed the Full-Body Fitness Class at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday’s, please consider taking the TRX Training session at 6:30 p.m. instead.  Here is a description of that training:  Predominantly, you will be using TRX Suspension Training and TRX Rip Trainers – and we work in the use of slide-boards and other functional equipment.  All fitness levels welcome, and the drop-in fee is only $20 or FREE for Unlimited Training Clients.  Burn calories, get lean and get a great total body workout!  And immediately following TRX is another one of our H.I.T. Classes (30-minutes of cardio intervals).  So stay for this class too!  H.I.T. starts promptly at 7:30 p.m., and is only $10 to drop in or FREE for Unlimited Training clients.

PLENTY OF TRAINING EVERY WEEK As we continue to build our business, we try to make sure we offer plenty of sessions to appeal to everyone . . . And remember, since we are NOT a gym, you are NOT coming to mindlessly run on the treadmill or walk around the weight room wondering how to set up your workout.  At !MPACT, you are ALWAYS GUIDED AND MOTIVATED BY A TRAINER.  We set up your training for you so you are on track for success.  We offer group training sessions early morning and mid-morning, as well as every week nights and Saturdays (some Sundays specified).  We offer group Bootcamps, Weight-Training Workouts, Elite Athlete Training, Fit-Strength Sessions, Plyometrics/Speed & Agility Classes, TRX Training, H.I.T. (High Intensity Training), Full-Body Fitness Class, and our new FIVE + ONE training session.  And please note know we offer one-on-one sessions, partner training and semi-private training by appointment so call us today!  908-428-7978.

30-Days Can Change Your Life . . . NUTRITIONAL CLEANSING!

MY BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS . . . JUST 30 DAYS!  In just 30 days, I lost 13 pounds and a total of 11 inches (and that was just in my mid-section!) . . . If you want to see my before and after photos, stop into !MPACT Training . . . I made a big poster and have them on display!  And because I decided to continue with the weight-loss/maintenance plan, I am still losing inches and am loving my flat belly.  I will add updated photos because the continued changes while being on this plan are definitely notable.  I’m happy to share this program that has truly been a blessing.  I’m healthier and A LOT happier!  See paragraph below to learn a little more about the program.

The couple above is on our team, and look at what they accomplished from one summer to the next!

Thirty days can definitely change your life . . It did for me!  As you may have read in our October Newsletter, I mentioned that for a variety of reasons (age, busy schedule, hormones, etc) I put on about 15 pounds over the last 2 years.  And while trying to research a supplement line for a client who needed one that was soy-free, gluten-free and free of artificial sweeteners, I was introduced to a program which met that criteria . . . a program that would ultimately change my life and the way I am eating.  I already know so much about nutrition, but I needed something that would rejuvenate my body and help me feel younger and more vibrant.  This weight loss plan is not only scientifically proven, but the magic is in the maintenance.  I now have a game plan for weekend fun, vacations, and the holidays.  And I don’t need to feel deprived, nor guilty for enjoying myself – and the supplements are delicious.  If you are interested in learning more about Nutritional Cleansing, just drop me an email with your cell number, and I will give you a quick 10-minute guide through the program.  Email me your cell number:  [email protected]

LOOKING AHEAD:

RESOLUTION RUN It might seem like January is pretty far off, but the holiday season goes so fast – before you know it, we will be in 2015.  I like to keep our community in the loop on these kinds of events . . . If you want to do the 14th Annual Resolution 5K Run & Walk, you need to register by November 29th, and they close registration when they max out – SO DON’T WAIT!  The event will be held on Thursday, January 1, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. (Hillsborough Municipal Building).  The cost to register on-line is $33.00, and you can go on-line to register:  www.active.com  — For more info about the race: www.resolutionrun.org

GET READY FOR OUR 12-WEEK WEIGHT-LOSS CHALLENGE:  Yes, we will definitely be offering a weight-loss program again this January, since so many people make that commitment to start the new year off right – and we want to be there to support them.  So in addition to sending participants helpful diet tips and motivational words of encouragement, we will also be offering MONTHLY PRIZES for the person who loses the highest percentage of body-weight – in addition to a beautiful gift basket of goodies for our Grand Prize Winner at the end of the contest.  The monthly winners will receive FREE Personal Training sessions to help keep them on track (YAHOO!) . . .  and our Grand Prize Winner (at the end of the 12-Week Contest) will receive a gift basket FILLED with goodies:  healthy supplements, a gift certificate for a month of Unlimited Group Training, a gift certificate for Personal Training, a bottle of champagne, a restaurant gift certificate and MORE!  Participants will need to set up a quick appointment with one of our staff members to weigh-in . . . and they will need to do this between January 2nd and January 7th.  Each participant will be assigned a number so their name is kept private – and they will be required to weigh in weekly (on their own) and record their weight in their numbered file.  Our staff will be checking the files weekly to update the leader board.  We are hoping the additional monthly prizes will help keep the competition interesting – and will make people work harder to win!  We do everything we can to help our clients stay motivated!    

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!

 “HEALTHY” RECIPE . . .

Hillarie’s Chunky Vegetable & Chicken Soup

(It is easiest to make this in a crock-pot, but there are directions below for cooking in a large pot)

Ingredients:

1 package of Ground Chicken Breast (1 lb.)

2 medium-size zucchini (diced)

2 medium-size yellow squash (diced)

5 stalks of celery (chopped)

1.5 cups of baby carrots (chopped or sliced)

1 clear/box of fresh baby spinach

½ head of shredded cabbage

1 small onion (chopped)
1 small crate of fresh sliced mushrooms

3 cloves of fresh garlic (minced)

4 tablespoons of olive oil

Spices:  Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder & Cayenne Pepper is optional

Directions:

–          In a frying pan, cook the ground chicken – breaking apart into tiny pieces with a spatula.  Sprinkle with a little salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a hint of cayenne pepper (optional) while cooking.  Transfer cooked meat into crock-pot.

–          In frying pan, use 4 tablespoons of olive oil, and brown 3 cloves of fresh garlic (minced) – then add:  Box of baby spinach and crate of sliced mushrooms.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (optional to add a little spice to the soup) and allow the spinach to cook and reduce/size.

–          Now transfer the spinach and mushrooms into the crockpot with all the other chopped, diced or sliced raw vegetables listed.

–          Add two 32 oz. boxes/cartons of Free-Range Organic Low-Sodium Chicken Broth to the crockpot (found at my Shop-Rite in the healthy/gourmet aisles).

–          Stir crock-pot to mix ingredients, and cook on high for 4 hours or cook on low for 6-7 hours.  If you are cooking it in a large pot on your stove, you would bring it to a boil, then lower the flame and simmer (stirring occasionally) for 3-4 hours.  Your vegetables will be soft and flavorful!

–          SERVING SIZE = 1-2 Cups  . . . it is low-calorie – mostly veggies – delish!

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]
