JULY GROUP TRAINING CALENDAR:Click HERE to view our July training calendar for adults, teens and kids. PLEASE NOTE CHANGE TO MORNING SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 6TH AND WEEK OF JULY 13TH. Also please note this calendar is only for our GROUP sessions. One-on-One appointments as well as Semi-Private Sessions with a group of friends or teammates can be arranged by calling us to get an appointment time that works for you. And YAY . . . We are continuing with our 4:30 p.m. PILATES class on Wednesdays with Beth and bringing back KIDS’ Training too for the younger athletes (see info below)! If you click on our June Training Calendar link (above), you can also see a second page that includes descriptions of our bootcamps and each training session for all ages.
KIDS’ TRAINING IS BACK ON OUR WEEKLY SCHEDULE! Our Kids’ Training Program (ages 7-12) was put on hold on Saturdays due to spring and summer sports and activities. But DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, We will be offering it in during July on Tuesday’s at 4:30 p.m. This 45-minute training session is offered at only $15 to drop-in or at the discounted rate of $55 per month (for 5 Tuesdays) or $70 (if there are 5 Tuesday’s that month). Also, if you have children, ages 7-12 who are interested in getting a small group of their friends together to train privately, give us a call and we will get you onto our training calendar with a time that works for you – and the kids just split the cost of a semi-private session. Working out with a small group is a great way to get personal attention at a fraction of the cost!
TAKE-IT-ON-THE-ROAD . . . !MPACT Style: We have a gift for all our clients! We created a brand new workout that you can do on vacation — no equipment necessary! Fun body-weight & conditioning exercises that will help keep you fit on vacation. We revised it from the one we gave out last year, and we’ll have handouts for all our clients available at the front desk. If we are eating more on vacation, we better move MORE! haha! Let’s do it!
Makes: 4 servings — Total Time to Prepare: This recipe is Gluten FREE and Low-Sodium!
Ingredients
1/3 cup dry sherry, (see Note)
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 20-ounce can pineapple rings, plus 1/3 cup juice from the can
4 large boneless, skinless chicken thighs, (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed (see Tip)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter (I use Land-O-Lakes Butter/Olive Oil Spread)
Preparation
Whisk sherry, soy sauce, brown sugar and the 1/3 cup pineapple juice in a large bowl. Add pineapple rings and chicken and gently stir to coat. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high.
Remove the chicken and pineapple from the marinade and pat dry; reserve the marinade. Oil the grill rack. Grill the chicken and pineapple until the chicken is cooked through and the pineapple is marked, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Whisk the reserved marinade and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook, whisking, until reduced and thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in butter. Serve the chicken and pineapple drizzled with the sauce.
Tips & Notes
Note: Sherry is a type of fortified wine originally from southern Spain. Don’t use the “cooking sherry” sold in many supermarkets—it can be surprisingly high in sodium. Instead, purchase dry sherry that’s sold with other fortified wines in your wine or liquor store.
Tip: You’ll need about 1 1/2 pounds untrimmed boneless, skinless chicken thighs to serve four people. For recipes that call for one large thigh per person, buy them at the butcher counter; prepackaged thighs vary dramatically in size. Ask for four 6-ounce boneless, skinless thighs. To trim them well, we like to use kitchen shears to snip the fat away from the meat. After trimming, you’ll have four 4-ounce portions.
Tip: To oil the grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to spray the food with cooking spray.

!MPACTing the Jr. Raiders Football Organization: Our !MPACT Trainers are getting ready to hit the fields once again for their FREE Conditioning Program at the Triangle Complex. The Jr. Raiders organization will have their FREE program every Monday and Wednesday from 6-8:00 p.m. for any kids/teens who are registered to play in the fall. We continue to help them with their conditioning program not only because we are one of the Jr. Raiders official sponsors, but also because my son, Tony (age 13), plays in the Patriot Varsity Division . . . and my husband, Michael, is a coach every year. It feels really good to give back to an organization that has truly developed into a wonderful program for the kids. We are not only going to help lead their warm-ups and conditioning, but have prepared a handout for the coaches so they can use it to guide their practices and pre-game conditioning. Since I am also certified in Sports Nutrition, I plan to provide the kids with a brief nutrition lecture at the fields which will help them understand the importance of “fueling for optimal performance”. I will be providing this 20-minute lecture for kids/teens as well as their parents at the start of conditioning on Wednesday, July 8th at 6:00 p.m. SHARP. I will also provide a handout with some helpful suggestions for meals, snacks, and hydration. I will stress the importance of drinking WATER instead of all those sugary sports drinks, and can recommend a healthy alternative to Gatorade.
PERSONAL TRAINING IS FOR ATHLETES TOO!:If you have a young athlete (ages 9-18) who needs to set sports specific goals, let our trainers help you reach them with our one-on-one training sessions. Whether your child/teen needs to work on running form to improve their 40-Yard Dash – or needs to work on speed & agility — needs to increase stamina, strength, or their vertical jump, our trainers will help you get there. Our customized plans are based on each client’s specific goals – and we identify their strengths and weaknesses . . . then we get to work! As mentioned in the previous paragraph, athletes who purchase discount 10 or 20-packs of personal training sessions are eligible to come for ONE FREE group training session per week. They would greatly benefit from our Elite Athlete Training, and if they are 15 years or older, they can jump into any bootcamp or weight-training session for adults. What a great way to train in the off-season or to stay conditioned during your regular season! We offer personal training throughout the day – starting early morning, straight through till 9:00 p.m. Just call us to let us know the time frame your child or teen would like to train, and we’ll match that up with our trainer availability. Email Mike at: [email protected]
!MPACT OFFERS ½ HOUR PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS: Some people are pressed for time, others juggling finances . . . but one thing for sure, many of you are making fitness a priority. You now have the option to come for a full, 55-minute personal training session — OR come for a 30-minute personal training session. We will help you set some goals and then take action! During this 30-minute session, you will perform a quick & effective warm-up, work all your major muscle groups, stimulate your core, and burn calories and fat. These sessions are customized to meet your needs, and you can also do it with a friend! And maybe you have a young athlete who you think could benefit from some one-on-one training. Thirty-minute sessions are extremely affordable. Call us today to find out pricing for these sessions . . . You can pay as you come or purchase a discounted 10-Pack of 30-Minute Sessions. No excuses . . . you can do it now!

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL & THANK YOU!
We received the nicest note from the mother who hosted her 9-year old son’s birthday at IMPACT. See letter content below!
Hi Hillarie: I wanted to take a minute and say “Thank You” to you and Mike for running such a fabulous party for Hunter. All of the boys had such a great time going through the stations and working hard at each of the drills. I think they realized exercise can be fun as well as good for you. They really had a great time playing dodgeball. I think that was their favorite part! Where else can you throw a ball at your friend where hitting them is the object of the game? I also heard from the parents that their children had a great time and couldn’t stop talking about it. The party really made an IMPACT on them (and I actually had a quiet ride home since they were so tired). Thanks again. –Vivian Paulter

FREE WALK-RUN PROGRAM: To start prepping for the walk/run/race season, there will be two separate 1-hour sessions: 8:00 am – 9:00 am and again from 10:00 am – 11:00 am on Sunday mornings, starting June 14th along the D&R Canal. Runners/walkers will meet at the Millstone (Rt. 514) entrance … The separate sessions are for convenience; if you can’t make the early session you can show up at the later one or vice verse. The concept is that everybody will do 1/2 hour out, 1/2 hour back session max … the faster paced people will obviously go farther than the walkers or slower paced, but everybody will still be back within the 1 hour session.

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:
OK This is the part where I try to motivate you to get healthier this summer. Summertime is also a time where we are exposed to more food & spirits (yes, those darn spirits will get you!). Taking better care of yourself takes a real effort. It is so easy to put yourself last . . . especially if you have a family to take care of or a busy career – or running around with a busy sports schedule for your kids. But I say that sometimes we just need to reprioritize so that we actually get back on track for success. Small changes done consistently can have a big IMPACT on your health. So putting an hour aside to do some healthy cooking in the kitchen on a Sunday is time well spent – since you will have healthy options available once the busy week starts up again. Or squeezing in a 20-30 minute workout at home is certainly better than skipping it all together. Put in on your calendar and treat it just as you would a doctor’s appointment. MAKE IT HAPPEN. If you ever feel like you just need some direction with your fitness and nutrition, drop me an email and maybe we can set up an appointment to get you on track for success: [email protected]
