NEED TO PREPARE FOR YOUR SPORT OF CHOICE?  NO BETTER WAY TO DO SO THAN TO UTILIZE OUR ELITE ATHLETE TRAINING PROGRAM (ages 13-18) OR PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS TO PREPARE FOR IT!   If you are an elite athlete (or a parent of one), and you have the desire to improve your speed, agility, strength, power, quickness, or confidence, please call us . . . Please check out our AUGUST Group Training Calendar – and in addition to our group sessions, we also offer one-on-one training private training, partner training (2 people) and semi-private training (a handful of their friends or team-mates).  We can help them address their weaknesses so they are ready for their next season.  Call us at 908-428-7978 or email: [email protected]

VIRTUAL NUTRITIONAL COACHING:  This is the latest way people are setting and reaching their fitness goals – especially if they don’t live close to !MPACT Training.  The first 1-hour session (+ five 30-minute sessions to follow each week) via phone with Hillarie is a great way for the client to outline his/her fitness goals and set up their plan of attack . . . whether it be weight-loss; improved energy levels; building muscle while decreasing bodyfat to get leaner and stronger; or receiving workout programs (via email) to do on your own so you get the results you are looking for.  Maybe you just need that motivation, knowing you are being held accountable to an expert in this field – as that helps so many of us stay on track.  Your program can also be a combination of nutritional & dietary guidance along with exercise counseling on what might be best for you to be doing on your own — and you will actually small have homework assignments depending on your goals.  As part of the initial session, Hillarie will email you some nutritional info and general fitness handouts that you will go over on your initial call so you have a good idea of what is expected of you in the weeks ahead.  If you are interested in weight-loss, you will be emailed a blank food log & exercise log which you will complete and email back to Hillarie on a weekly basis (prior to your scheduled call).  After the initial 1-hour session, the next 5 weeks will be 30-minute sessions (via phone) to go over your food log — to talk about any obstacles or barriers you may have incurred — to talk about your exercise log and receive helpful corrections as needed — and to get inspired for the week ahead.  It’s really hard to do it alone, especially when your life is busy with so many other things.  So working with Hillarie for 6 weeks is a great way to change your mindset, and become more focused on your fitness, your health, and your overall wellness, and to gain the knowledge about proper nutrition and exercise based on your goals.   *If you wish to continue these coaching sessions, they can be purchased in 5 week packs.  For pricing, please email:  [email protected]

!MPACT Training:  So, do you know why our facility is different than any other gyms or training facilities?  We offer all different types of workouts for every fitness level, and our clients are ALWAYS guided by a certified/degreed Personal Trainer.  We can talk to you about your goals, specifically, to help guide you through your journey, AND we are offer some great nutritional advice to help you reach your goals.  Please click here to take a look at our AUGUST GROUP TRAINING CALENDAR for adults, teens and kids.  We have such a wide variety of group training sessions ranging from strength & resistance training to multi-level bootcamps or cardio-style workouts . . . We have just what you need!  We also offer one-on-one personal training, partner training or semi-private training and those are scheduled separately based on the time that is best for you to train, matched up with our trainer availability.  So please call us to let us know your availability and we will get you onto our trainer’s calendar (908) 428-7978!

WE’RE INTERVIEWING/HIRING!  We are getting close – we are narrowing down our search from applicants, but there is still time if you know of someone who would be a perfect trainer at our facility.  Our trainers’ calendars are getting booked up at the more popular time slots in the afternoons (after school) along with evenings and Saturdays, so we are hoping to find another amazing trainer to join our TEAM.  This candidate must be a “degreed or certified trainer” with CURRENT certifications, and experience working with athletes is preferred –as we train many teen athletes as well as adults.  If you know of any qualified candidates, please have them call Michael at 908-403-7605.  We prefer trainers who come from a referral.

CUTTING-EDGE TRAINING:  Did you know our trainers have started incorporating REDCORD/ACTIVCORE training for our one-on-one training clients?  By using this equipment, we can help our clients learn to function in healthier movement patterns, recognizing that our muscles are large connected bands. Sometimes if we experience pain, it is due to the fact that our automatic pilot is not firing or using the correct muscles to perform a certain movement. I recently went for my first ActiveCore certification in December, and I am really excited to help our trainers and our clients set and reach new goals in 2017.  Some people have lower back pain, while others have poor core strength or poor range of motion – some people are inflexible.  When working with Redcord equipment you will use your body’s DEEP core muscles, and you will re-train your body so it no longer moves in dysfunctional patterns.

NOTE FROM HILLARIE – Month of August: Why is it that the dreary winter months seem to drag on, and during July and August, the weeks fly by – and before you know we are doing back-to-school shopping for our kids?  So annoying, right? LOL . . . The good news is we still have the whole month of August so let’s savor every bit of the warmer weather and sunshine.  Set your alarm clock 30-45 minutes earlier so you can go for a power-walk or run – or maybe go for a workout BEFORE going to work or starting your day. And this is the time where we can get lots of fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms (like NORZ HILL FARM).  So let’s focus on a “farm-to-table” mentality when planning meals.  A great dinner example would be grilled chicken or fish with plenty of salads with fresh veggies – or even roast your veggies in the oven.  Limit your starchy carbohydrates like pasta, bread, rice, potatoes and cereals.  Stick with healthy carbs and grains but measure your portions (½-¾ cup for quinoa or brown rice – or have a small sweet potato).  Plan your meals for the week – as well as your workouts.  Put them on your calendar just like you would a doctor’s appointment.  You gotta have a plan.  If you have tried to come up with a plan thus far and you don’t feel like you have been very successful, please don’t give up.  We need to re-focus on cleaner eating, more exercise, more time dedicated for sleep, time for prayer, and time for getting organized.  You can totally do this.  Remember, the only way to fail is to quit.  We will have no quitters here.  You CAN do this!   If you ever feel like you need a quick conversation or phone call to help you set some goals, just give me a call 908-428-7978 –Hillarie
