CONGRATULATIONS TO TWO OF OUR ATHLETES:   Congratulations to Connor Sweeney (sophomore at Hillsborough High school), playing volleyball — and Evan Vandola (age 9) who plays ice hockey.  So when we start training an elite athlete (no matter what their age), we test them in their vertical jump, their broad jump, as well as other areas like speed drills (L-Shuttle) or strength training like bench pressing.  OK . . . drum-roll please . . . Connor increased his vertical jump by 3 inches from September to November, and also increased his broad jump by 6 inches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Way to go, Connor.  Evan Vandola increased the number of box-jumps in 30 seconds . . . He initially performed 18 box-jumps in 30 seconds, and when re-tested, he increased to 36 jumps!  Doubled!!!  He increased his broad jump by 7 inches . . . yes, 7 inches! . . . and he shaved off .99 seconds on his 15-yard dash . . . and also shaved off 4.36 seconds on his L-Shuttle Drill.  So proud of you, Evan!!!  These are just two examples of how personal training can help your young athletes!!

WINTER BREAK COLLEGE SPECIAL:   Many of you have college students coming home during the holidays for their winter break . . . We’d love to have them training with us!  Our regular price for middle school, high school and college students is $99 per month for Unlimited Training.  BUT since the college students are usually home for a little longer than a month for winter break, we thought we would extend this discounted price to include the entire time they are home. So if they are home for 5, 6 or 7 weeks, it will STILL only be $99 for their entire break . . . YAHOO!  If your college student will only be home for two or three weeks, we will work out a further discounted option.  Call or email us if you need more info:  [email protected]

HOURS DURING THE HOLIDAYS: Please refer to our DECEMBER GROUP TRAINING CALENDAR to see our hours or closings for holidays like Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, the day after Christmas, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. 

NEW TRAINING PACKAGE BEING OFFERED:

We have had a few inquiries from people who were interested in different kinds of training packages that would incorporate some personal training or semi-private training mixed with Unlimited Group Training.  So we created a special discounted program for those who wish to do our Unlimited Group Training, along with one or two personal training sessions or partner training per week.   IF YOU ARE AN UNLIMITED GROUP TRAINING CLIENT AND ARE COMMITTED TO SEMI-PRIVATE TRAINING ONCE PER WEEK OR MORE, WE HAVE A HUGE DISCOUNT FOR YOU ON YOUR UNLIMITED GROUP TRAINING MONTHLY FEE!   . . . AND we are also offering something that might be great for a group of friends or team-mates:

Unlimited Group Training with four Semi-Private Training Sessions:  Semi-Private Sessions are three to one ratio . . . 3 participants/1 trainer.  This new option is a great way to take advantage of all that we offer on our Group Training Calendar – and you also can set some personal goals with your trainer through your Semi-Private Training sessions (4 per month).  These Semi-Private sessions are booked on our trainer’s calendar based on your availability and theirs.  You can arrange to train with your friends or have us pair you up with other clients from !MPACT who wish to incorporate Semi-Private Training into their weekly routine.  This might be perfect for an athlete who is looking for a little more personal attention or for someone who has specific strength-training goals.  IF YOU ARE AN UNLIMITED GROUP TRAINING CLIENT AND ARE COMMITTED TO SEMI-PRIVATE TRAINING ONCE PER WEEK OR MORE, WE HAVE A HUGE DISCOUNT FOR YOU ON YOUR UNLIMITED GROUP TRAINING MONTHLY FEE!  Please call or email for more info or pricing:  908-428-7978 or email:  [email protected]

SEMI-PRIVATE STRENGTH TRAINING: In addition to private sessions that can be arranged, we are now designating Monday nights at 7:30 p.m. for Semi-Private Strength Training.  There will be a max of 3 participants working with one trainer.  The cost is $25 per participant . . . so you are only paying a fraction of what you would pay for a one-on-one session.  This is great for friends who want to set goals and reach them together or for athlete and team-mates with specific strength-training goals.  Please note that if you are already an Unlimited Training client, you will receive a $10 discount on your monthly fee if you are doing four Semi-Private Training Sessions per month.  Please call if you need more info or would like to reserve your place:  908-428-7978

YOGA:   As a special treat we’ve been offering Yoga on a few Sundays . . . So in December, we will be offering it on Sunday, December 7th.  We know that later in the month, people will be busy with lots of holiday plans on the weekends, so we figured we would offer it on the first Sunday in December.  We really love the instructor, Ann Marie Ovares, as her multi-level yoga class is fun with upbeat music.   The cost is only $10 for ALL participants, since this is not part of our regular training calendar.  Please bring your own yoga mat, a bottle of water, and a positive attitude . . . We will take care of the rest!  What a great way to start your Sunday morning!

KIDS Training (Ages 8-12)!  We already offer Elite Athlete Training for tees 13+ . . . but now we have a great training program for kids ages 8-12 . . . This training session will address SPEED, AGILITY AND OVERALL CONDITIONING.  It is just what you child needs – whether they play a sport and wish to enhance performance or they just want to stay active in the fall and winter.  They will participate in speed & agility drills and obstacle courses using fun equipment.   This is a 45-Minute Class and is only $15 to drop in or $65 for the month (since there are 5 Saturdays in November).   Remember, if you have a child who is age 12 and is competitively playing a sport, call us 908-428-7978 to set up an appointment so we can evaluate him/her.  Your child may be a better fit in our Elite Athlete Program for teens 13+.  Please email Mike if you are interested in getting your kids into !MPACT, email Mike:  [email protected]

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!

30-Days Can Change Your Life . . . NUTRITIONAL CLEANSINGThirty days can definitely change your life . . It did for me!  As you may have read in our October & November 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!  The event will be held on Thursday, January 1, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. (Hillsborough Municipal Building).  The cost is $38.00, and you can go on-line to register:  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 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!  And if you really want to get ahead of your competition, contact Hillarie about her Nutritional Cleansing program that helps you lose weight fast AND KEEP IT OFF

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:

The holiday season is already upon us . . . We can still work during the month of December so that we maintain our weight or even lose a few pounds during the holidays.  Nobody wants to start out in January with an overwhelming goal to lose weight.  So if you are not feeling your best right now, we still have time to get you feeling and looking great!  Let’s not forget that it is important to meal-plan and exercise regularly.  It won’t happen unless you “schedule” the time on your calendar.  Maybe you need to get up earlier – maybe you can squeeze it in the evening.  If you need help figuring that out, give me a call – happy to help you outline your goals and reach them!  908-428-7978.
