CLIENT HIGHLIGHT AND TESTIMONIAL:
MELISSA NOBILE: This gal rocks! She is so dedicated to her training at !MPACT, and we couldn’t be more proud! We received this amazing testimonial that we will be adding to the testimonials on our website. . . This wonderful letter came from her Mom, Laura:
Melissa Nobile started playing softball when she was young, but fell in love with Field Hockey the first day she started training with Total Dutch Field Hockey back in 6th grade. The game requires speed, endurance & agility which excites her. She has continued to play at HMS, HHS and Club Field Hockey for the past 5 years. She has had great success playing locally and nationally. She now plays for the Princeton Field Hockey Club (PFHC). This team has also trained internationally in Vancouver and the Netherlands. In November her U16 PFHC team traveled to California for the National Field Hockey Festival. They won their pool taking Gold. Melissa wants to play field hockey in college and is actively recruiting. The one thing her coaches have said is to make sure she keeps up her conditioning. She may be small in size, but she is fast and powerful. !MPACT Training has been a great place to focus her training, introducing her to weights and make new friends. Weight training is something she never thought of, but now it is a key part of her routine. After a stressful day of being a teenager, she may be tired but once she hits the !MPACT she is energized and focused to face all her challenges. !MPACT will help her achieve her goals and has a great influence on her daily life.

SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY: This is a great place to go for any type of physical rehab – and boy, are did a great job on my lower-back pain! They handle everything from ligament sprains to arthritic pain. I have always had a strong core and lower back, but I guess my age (47), my strenuous training routine/6 days per week, and the long hours I spend on my feet every day as a trainer can often take a toll on my lower back. Every now and again, it just tightens up and I am in a lot of pain. I heavily rely on the physical therapists at Sports Physical Therapy to get me mobile and pain free again! They have multiple locations, and one of the partners, Jeff Erickson, is a neighbor of mine – great guy! Can’t say enough about what an awesome facility this is!

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:
We seem to be escaping January with only a bit of snow – nothing compared to last January! And believe it or not, that has a huge impact on our fitness plans. Last year there were so many days the kids had off from school or had delayed openings for school and offices, so it may have altered your plans or your ability to make it to your regularly scheduled exercise sessions. And sometimes the more it snows, the more we want to eat comfort food . . . so staying on your diet plan can be extremely difficult. So let’s just remember that we need to stay focused on getting healthier in 2015. Drink more water (we never drink enough!) . . . eat your three main meals (being conscious to eat cleaner with a balance of proteins and carbs) – AND be sure to add small healthy snacks in between meals to help regulate your blood-sugar levels. Eat more vegetables and some fruit too, and exercise a little bit every day. Whether you can spend an hour or only 25 minutes, it is better than nothing. And if you need any help or would like to talk about setting goals, please drop me an email . . . I would be happy to point you in the right direction and motivate you!: [email protected]
