  • Total Development Bootcamps are offered 15 times per week!  Please note there are changes to the mid-morning time.

FREE TRIALS IN AUGUST @ !MPACT Training !!!!:  Have you been dying to come for one of our training sessions but your busy schedule keeps getting in the way . . . Don’t miss out . . . WE ARE OFFERING ONE FREE GROUP TRAINING SESSION TO ANY NEW CLIENT WHO WANTS TO GET IN ON THE FITNESS AND FUN!!!  In our group training sessions, you will find your inner athlete (even if you are a working mom or dad with three kids!).  We could all use that push from a personal trainer – we could all use a little motivation, along with an education on how we should be training and how we should be eating in order to reach our fitness goals.  Doesn’t matter if you have some issues we need to work around . . . Some clients have a weak lower back, others have shoulder discomfort.  We offer variations to every exercise so that you get a safe and effective workout.  Ask any !MPACT client, and they will tell you how much they’ve changed their lifestyle since they started coming to us.  We offer nutrition tips — and every Saturday morning, I make some kind of a healthy post-workout treat for everyone to enjoy.  You don’t need to call to reserve a place . . . just come on in!  A short registration form needs to be filled out, so please arrive 10 minutes prior to a group training session.  Parents would need to fill one out for children or teens under the age of 18.  Check out our Monthly Training Calendar towards the bottom of our home page of our website so you know can see our training schedule.

DISCOUNT ON PERSONAL TRAINING FOR “FIRST-TIME” CLIENTS!  During the month of August, we are offering a special discount package on Personal Training for “first-time clients”.  Purchase 3 Personal Training Sessions for only $99 . . . that is a HUGE savings since each session is regularly $65 per session!  That is more than HALF off!  We recently added more trainer hours since we are getting busier, so this is a great way to fill up their schedule and get you here for training at a discount.   Discount package also offered for Partner Training at $125 for 3 sessions.  These discount sessions are for first-time clients only — and must be purchased during August — and sessions are valid for 30 days from purchase date.

SUPPLEMENT HIGHLIGHTS:  In addition to always mentioning the benefits of Shakeology, the healthiest meal of the day . . . I wanted to highlight my latest favorite supplement from BeachBody.  It is their SLIMMING FORMULA. You use it as a way to metabolize fat during your workouts.  I love the fact that it is not a “magic pill” . . . It doesn’t just work all by itself.  You have to exercise and diet – and this formula enhances your results to get you there faster! Forget about ephedra/ephedrine. BeachBody does NOT use it in any of their products, period! These proven ingredients will get you the slimming results you want, without jittery side effects.  Lose more fat with BeachBody’s unique blend of pyruvate and green tea extract—proven to help you significantly increase weight loss and improve exercise endurance.  To purchase this product:  www.TeamBeachBody.com/Hillarie.  Once you are on the site, click on “SHOP” then “NUTRITION & SUPPLEMENTS”.  It is there you can also read about the great benefits of replacing one meal per day with Shakeology.  Lots of my clients are doing it and getting amazing results!  If you need some extra workouts to do at home or while traveling, you can also purchase Insanity, P90X, and more from my site:  www.teambeachbody.com/Hillarie.  You get one body . . . treat it “world class”.  Stop stalling!  If you need help outlining your fitness goals, just call me – happy to help:  908-428-7978.

CLIENT HIGHLIGHTS:

We decided that since we are so thrilled with the changes our clients are making to their bodies and their lives, we would highlight a few clients each month so they might inspire you:

Name of Clients:  Diane Damiano  (1st) & Jessica Freund (2nd))

 These two ladies (pictured above) were working out with us long before they became pregnant, and they are determined to stay fit throughout their pregnancy.  They are in their last trimester!  Funny enough, they are friends outside of !MPACT, and were so good at motivating each other to show up for training.  Both of these ladies did weekly Personal Training (one-on-one) in addition to attending our Total Development Bootcamps or 30-Minute Express Workouts.  They just modified exercises to reduce heart-rate and omitted exercises that required a jump or any other kind of !MPACT (excuse the pun ha-ha!).  They truly motivated other bootcampers who felt they were too tired to continue during training . . . They would look at these two ladies and say “WOW, if they can do it, I can do it!”.  Thank you, Jessica and Diane for being !MPACT poster children!  So excited that both of you will be holding a beautiful newborn by either late August or September.  Then we’ll work hard to help you get back to your pre-baby shape – and we will post pictures again to show how great you look!  And don’t forget, we will be adding a “Mommy & Me” session in the fall!

Name of Client:  Carole Zydiak

LOVE this picture of Carole Zydiak (pictured above)!  This photo was taken by Nicholas Mistretta Portrait Design, located in the Skillman section of Montgomery Township (see contact info under our Local Business Plugs at the end of the newsletter).  Carole started training with us four months ago.  She didn’t necessarily have much “weight” to lose (she lost 5 lbs).  Instead, she wanted to tighten and tone her body by decreasing body-fat while increasing lean muscle.  Carole came for nutritional counseling with me back in February – and continued her workouts on her own . . . until April when she became addicted to our Total Development Bootcamps!  Carole has become quite the role model for lots of our other female clients.  Carole is a local veterinarian and married/mother of three.  So you can only imagine how busy she is.  Carole makes fitness a priority — and in this picture, she is wearing her Spartan medal.  Carole decided to take on the challenge when fellow bootcamper, Martin Nielsen, asked her to participate in a Spartan Race this past spring.  Carole was super excited to finish that race!  Wear that medal proudly, Carole . . . you look amazing!

Name of Client:  Sal Cuccio

Sal Cuccio (pictured above) started with !MPACT when we opened in February of 2012.  Sal lost 49 lbs. to date, and he has gotten so strong during that process.  He participates in our Total Development Bootcamps at least 4 days per week, and we LOVE the energy he brings to !MPACT.  As you can see from this photo, Sal has moved into some of the advanced exercises . . . For other bootcampers, this was a traditional TRX Push-Up . . . Putting your feet up on the wall takes it to a whole new level!  Way to go, pal! In addition to being driven, Sal has an unbelievable sense of humor.  Lotta laughs for all of us thanks to Sal.  Gotta love this !MPACT family!

 Name of Client:  Inger Solomon

Inger is quite an inspiration at !MPACT Training.  Through nutritional counseling at !MPACT along with bootcamps and Personal Training, Inger has lost a total of 36 pounds.  She is excited to step it up a notch in September to set some even bigger goals, and we couldn’t be more proud of her.  Besides her amazing weight loss (and the fact that she came in 3rd place in our 12-Week Weight-Loss Challenge in January), there are other ways we track progress at !MPACT.  There was nothing better than to see her tears of joy after she was able to perform strenuous exercises with ease after dedicating some time to training and nutrition.  She couldn’t believe what she was able to do!  We knew she had it in her . . . she just needed to believe in herself.  From tire flips to perfect push-ups, this lady is getting more fit every day.  And her energy levels from eating properly is really paying off.  Couple that with the fact that she is one of the most generous and nurturing clients . . . and WE are the ones who are lucky enough to have her.  Let’s continue our journey, Inger . . . Let’s do this!

 !MPACT’s PAY-IT-FORWARD MISSION . . . .

 BACKPACK CHALLENGE:  We’ve been collecting back-packs and school supplies throughout July . . . we’ll continue just a week or so longer – and then email us if you would like your child to participate in our assembly line project to load each back-pack with supplies.  Think about making this school year special for a child who is displaced (through Dyfus). Our Back-Pack Assembly Line Party will take place on Thursday, August 22nd,  from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m.  We’ll assemble the back-packs and finish off with a few rounds of dodgeball.  We are opening this assembly line event to the first 15 children (age 7+) who register via email:  [email protected].  We will notify you via email if your child is one of the first 15 to register.

DRIVE-THRU DIFFERENCE:  Be on the lookout at your local drive-up (Hillsborough).  !MPACT Training loves the Drive-Thru Difference idea that radio station Star 99.1 came up with . . . You can brighten someone’s day just by paying for a cup of coffee for the car behind you in a drive-up.  We all carry so much stress with busy careers, while trying to care for our homes or our kids or sick parents, and let’s not even talk about all the financial stress we are all under.  Wouldn’t it be great to know there really are nice people in the world?  Whether it is just a cup of coffee or a breakfast sandwich, !MPACT Training is looking to brighten the day for people in our community.  Ya never know who might be in the car in front of you at the drive in . . . Maybe it’s us!!  We’ll keep you posted, and hopefully get some pictures of the surprised winners of these random Pay-It-Forward events!

PAY-IT-FORWARD EVENT:  !MPACTBootcamp Games Mark your calendars for Sunday, October 6th at 9:00 a.m. . . . And then use this summer to train for this spectacular event!  Welcome the !MPACT Bootcamp Games.  This event is for clients as well as newcomers . . . You will compete in a number of events and receive points based on how well you did at each event (i.e. number of tire flips in one minute, or how many pull-ups you can do, or how many “perfect” push-ups you are able to perform, how long you can jump rope without stopping, Plyo-Box Jumps, etc).  We will post the events so that you can start to prepare and train for this event!  People will compete individually. and also as a team.  The person with the most points is our WINNER and will get a $150 Gift Certificate to use towards any services training at !MPACT.  The Team who has the most points at the end of the competition will get a special treat/prize (it’s a secret and it involves food and fun!).  The entry fee is $25 per person with proceeds going to The Children’s Hospital in Mountainside, New Jersey.  The hospital serves children affected by brain injury, spinal cord dysfunction and injury, premature birth, autism, developmental delays, and life-changing illnesses. They have a toy library, known as Toys-To-Go, and it offers an array of commonly available commercial toys such as music boxes, busy boxes, mechanical animals and vehicles, etc. which have been adapted for the needs of these children.   We plan to use this fundraiser to purchase more Toys-To-Go for their playroom.   Won’t you help us “Give this Christmas Away” (or Hanukah or whatever holiday you celebrate) . . . Let’s GIVE IT AWAY THIS YEAR TO CHILDREN IN NEED!  To register for this event, contact:  Michael@!MPACTTraining-NJ.com

FOOD PANTRY:  THANK YOU so much for your generous donations to the Hillsborough Food Pantry.  During July, we not only started our collection of back-packs and school supplies for foster children, but we collected a huge box of perishable foods for our local food pantry.  Thank you so much for helping us to PAY-IT-FORWARD.  We’ll collect donations for the Hillsborough Food Pantry from time-to-time, so stay tuned for upcoming newsletters.

TENDER LOVIN GRILL:  What a great little place this is – on the corner of Amwell Rd. and Rt. 206 in Hillsborough (that little strip mall near Five Guys).  The owners of this establishment, Marybeth and Steve, are Hillsborough residents for 20 years, and Steve was in the food franchise business prior to opening Tender Lovin Grill.  He and his wife are passionate about FRESH food vs. the frozen and pre-packaged foods that are served at chain restaurants.  We had a delicious Pork Carnitos that was made with hand-rubbed, slow-roasted pork – on a thin whole wheat wrap – with rice, beans, cheese, tomatoes, onion and spices.  It was out of this world.  They have home-made soups, marinated grilled chicken, salads, daily specials and more.  They are open 7 days per week from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. (12-7 p.m. on Sundays).  We plan to take our kids back for their funnel cakes or waffles and ice cream.  Reasonably priced – pretty inside so you can dine in or take out . . . overall . . . great experience.  Give this new business a chance.

Quilter’s Obsession:  Owner, Deborah Kalenty, is a talented artist who I met when I was speaking at Woodfern Elementary’s Career Day (for their 4th graders).  I spoke about being a fitness trainer and opening my own business, and Deborah showed us these amazing quilts she makes and sells through her on-line store.  She also sells kits so you can make a beautiful quilt and get all the items you need in one package.  And she also sells material so you can purchase to design your own quilt.  These make amazing gifts – whether someone is having a baby or you just want to customize your child’s bedroom with something cool!  Contact Deb at:  908-369-4450 or email her at:  [email protected]
