NEW SEMI-PRIVATE TRAINING SCHEDULE:
In addition to our Monthly Group Training Schedule, we are now offering scheduled semi-private training at !MPACT. This means there is a maximum of 5 participants in each session. These sessions are a separate service from our Group Training Schedule – and they add that personal touch for those who prefer to work with only a few other participants. There is a maximum of 5 participants working with a Certified Personal Trainer to help you reach your fitness goals. You do not need to be a registered client at !MPACT to sign up for these semi-private sessions, since they are just like a personal training session – and your payment holds your reservation. These sessions are pre-paid and require 24-hour’s notice for cancellations so that we can open the space up to someone who might be on our waiting list. Pricing for these sessions vary based on the type of training, so give us a call if you want more info and pricing. These sessions fill up quickly so please call Michael with credit card info to reserve your place on the dates you can attend: 908-403-7605. BELOW IS A LIST OF OUR SEMI-PRIVATE SESSIONS, ALONG WITH A DESCRIPTION OF TRAINING:
It’s back in December . . . SLIM & Slender–This is a non-aerobic semi-private training session for ladies (max of 5), dedicated to developing long, lean muscles through moderate to slow movements. The session will be a great combination of Pilates-type exercises and floor work designed to stretch, strengthen and lengthen your muscles – with additional focus on flexibility and all-over muscle tone. This session is for beginners, intermediate or advanced fitness enthusiasts, as everyone works at their own pace based on their abilities. This is held on Wednesday’s at 4:00 p.m. – This is a program started last month – and will continue in December and into the New Year.REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT IS REQUIRED TO RESERVE YOUR PLACE – and 24-hour’s notice is required for cancellations.
NEW! TRX & KETTLEBELL TRAINING: This 55-minute session will burn fat and help you build lean muscle and a strong core. Remember, this is semi-private training so it will be a maximum up 5 participants – who will work exclusively with kettlebells, TRX Suspension Training, and TRX Rip Trainers. It’s truly an awesome workout. This session will be run by Stacey Johnson, a new addition to !MPACT . We’re excited to have Stacey who has been in the fitness industry for 26 years working with adults and youths. She has her Exercise Physiology from Montclair State and her Physical Education & Health degree from Eastern Connecticut State University. Stacey’s philosophy is to take care of your mind and body (your brain & muscles) and they will take care of you! This session will be held on Mondays at 4:30 p.m. – starting in January 2018 REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT IS REQUIRED TO RESERVE YOUR PLACE – and 24-hour’s notice is required for cancellations.
New! ZONE TRAINING:This is Semi-Private Training (max of 5 participants), and during this 55-minute session we use your heart rate to estimate exercise intensity. It is like sharing a personal training appointment with 4 other people – and you will use a variety of equipment – from dumbbells to medicine balls – to TRX, Cardio equipment and MORE! Heart rates are a great way to define and monitor training zones. For example, the low intensity zone or “fat burning zone” is usually defined as 60-70% of maximum heart rate, and the “threshold zone” is said to be 80‑90% of maximum heart rate. Continuing to toggle back and forth between zones is a great way to burn fat and get the most results from your workout. A special heart-rate monitor would be used during this semi-private session.Please stay tuned to our January newsletter (that goes out in the third week of December) to see when we are offering this awesome addition to our semi-private training schedule!
New! SPEED & AGILITY: This Semi-Private session also has a max of 5 participants – to give our athletes or advanced fitness enthusiasts specific feedback during drills. During this scheduled 55-Minute Semi-Private Session, participants will perform plenty of drills to help improve speed, quickness, ability to change direction, and explosiveness – along with specific exercises to help them strengthen the muscles needed to improve performance. And of course these sessions can be booked at other times – so you can call us for a private appointment. This kind of training is a game-changer — so please stay tuned to our January newsletter (that goes out in the third week of December) to see when we are offering this awesome addition to our semi-private training schedule!
New!YOGA: This is a 55-Minute Semi-Private Yoga Session (max of 5 participants), led by Erin Chung, who is certified in Flow and Roots classes. Erin is excited to join the team at !mpact Training as a yoga instructor! She fell in love with yoga soon after her daughter was born as a way to find peace and calm in her life. Erin looks forward to sharing the gift of yoga with clients at !MPACT in a semi-private training atmosphere. Outside of her yoga practice, Erin is a full time special education teacher, and she loves to share her love of yoga and mindfulness with her class and school community. She also cherishes the small moments at home with her husband and downward dog-loving daughter, Charlotte. Please stay tuned to our January newsletter (that goes out the third week of December) to see when we are offering this awesome addition to our semi-private training schedule!

New! GIRL POWER & FITNESS Program: The purpose of this program is to help adolescent girls improve their self-esteem through gaining knowledge of health and fitness. This will be a 6-week program held on Monday’s at 5 p.m. starting January 7th — and each session will last one hour. It will consist of a discussion and activity based on the day’s theme, as well as a great workout. All fitness levels are welcome – as variations to exercises will always be offered, and this is forgirls ages 9-12.The themes for the day will include: self-esteem, body image, nutrition, goal setting and mindset.This 6-week Girl Power & Fitness Program is only $125 – and sessions will be held on January 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and February 5th and 12th. Unfortunately, there are no make-up days for missed sessions or refunds, as this is not a regular program on our calendar.
WE AREOPENSELECT SUNDAYS FOR BLACKBOARD WORKOUTS & OPEN GYM! Our Certified Personal Trainers will post the workout for the day on our HUGE blackboard so you have the option of following the posted workout or getting your own workout done.

These workouts happen on most Sundays (unless we have a conflict) – but if you would like to know the December dates, please contact Michael (908) 403-7605.
Coming this Spring! !MPACT Running Program & 5K Prep:This program is a perfect way to train if you want to run a 5K (or longer). Christine Murphy, our certified personal trainer and avid runner will lead this group by teaching some healthy fitness habits and mapping out a plan for success. You do NOT need to be an !MPACT Training client to join this group. The training will consist of 3 days per week – including a progressive plan with warm-ups, walking/jogging/running intervals – and there will be some strength training added – since that greatly helps with muscle endurance and building core strength. There will also be a 1-mile test as you get further into the training – as well as a 1.5 mile test and a mock 5K! Some of this training will take place at !MPACT, while the rest of it will be out on the road! Right now we are making a list of interested participants, along with their email address and cell number so we can keep them abreast of more details as the spring grows closer. SO IF YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THIS PROGRAM, Please email: [email protected]
!MPACT WELCOMES A NEW STAFF MEMBER:
We are so excited to welcomeNicholas Citroto our !MPACT Staff (see PHOTO above). Not only is Nick a “degreed” trainer with his Bachelor of Science in Physical Education & Health from Montclair State University, but he has a great deal of experience working with personal training clients and elite athletes. AND he completed his college internship with none other than my mentor, Todd Durkin (owner of Fitness Quest10 in San Diego). Our personal training programs and group training workouts at !MPACT were inspired when I completed a mentorship program with Todd back in 2011 . . . so Nick is going to be a perfect fit here. He is a talented trainer for one-on-one appointments – and also great with athletes of all sports. Nick is an assistant football coach for Matawan High School, he also acted as a JV baseball coach for Matawan High School — and he worked with NFL Combine athletes while in San Diego. His dedication to sports is just another reason we love having him on our team. Welcome aboard Nick! #teamimpact
CLIENT HIGHLIGHTS:
Meet JAMES ZIEMBA(Pictured above). James was one of my personal training clients in my home business, Fitness by Hillarie, when he was a sophomore at St. Joe’s High School. At that time he was 6’7” and playing both basketball and baseball. I often thought that if I ever opened my own personal training facility, I would want it to have really high ceilings in case I got more clients like James whose head practically scraped the ceiling in my home studio LOL! Well James went on to get a scholarship to Duke University for baseball – and prior to graduation (2016) he was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies – but he chose not to sign with them because he wanted to finish his academics as well as his baseball career at Duke with his team mates. In 2017 (upon graduation), James was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels, and signed a contract with them. What professional baseball team wouldn’t want a left-handed pitcher –who by the way, is now 6’10”!!! So James reached out to us via facebook to me to see if I remembered him, and I told him “I opened a training facility with high ceilings just for him!” Haha! In preparation for training camp in Arizona this spring, James started training one day per week with me and one day per week with Nick (our newest trainer) – in addition to joining our bootcamps and Group Weight Training Sessions. We are so excited to have his energy in our facility and we are in awe of his dedication and passion for baseball. I love that when I interviewed James, his advice to young athletes was to practice the way you play. In other words, don’t play a championship game any harder than you would a regular season game. They all matter . . . Do your best EVERY game and practice – as well as in the weight room. James also wanted to do a follow-up nutrition session to make sure his nutrition was in line with the performance program we set forth for him. I love an athlete that doesn’t take his body for granted. Food is fuel, and practice makes perfect. CONGRATS on your success. Your mom/Maureen, your dad/James, and your sister/Mary must all be so proud of you too! Awesome family! We are excited you chose to train at !MPACT.
DOMINIC DINARDI: Another elite athlete I would love to highlight is Dominic Dinardi (pictured above). Dominic is a senior at Hillsborough High School and a member of the Varsity Track Team. His best event is the 800 meter, and right now he is working really hard to improve his time to get into a Division 1 college for track.His reach school is University of Maryland and your 800m needs to be 1:54.05 or less. Dominic is putting in the time to cut down his present time – and he doesn’t have far to go! He would also love to get into Virginia Tech –or University of Rhode Island –or George Mason. All GREAT schools. When Dominic was younger he played soccer and baseball – but in his high school years he played Varsity Football – as well as winter and spring track. I asked Dominic if he paid attention to what he eats – and asked him if he can feel the difference when he eats really healthy. His response: “I feel good when I eat healthy – but I really feel the difference when I eat junk . . . I am tired and sluggish and wished I hadn’t chosen the junk”. So this keeps him pretty consistent on a healthy diet – he likes to feel good! And he is not afraid of hard work. In addition to his track practices and outdoor running on his own, he is doing two personal training sessions per week with us to work on resistance running and core strengthening, as well as weight training to improve speed and explosiveness. I asked Dominic if he had any advice for freshman who are joining the track team (since my Joey just started winter track), and he said the freshman should just try their very best at everything. The coaches will see what you are excelling in, and can help make recommendations on the things you need to improve upon. Take their advice and get to work. You can’t make changes or improvements if you are not working at it. Dominic’s parents, Guy & Melissa, are super supportive of Dominic’s desire to be the very best he can be. Dominic has inspired his younger brother Christopher (presently in 8th grade) to get started in track as well. Dominic, you are a pleasure to train . . . so mature, smart, driven, respectful, and a true athlete with a lot of heart. We wish you all the luck as you continue your training at !MPACT and on the track! You’re another athlete we are surely going to miss next year.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!
CONGRATS to our client, Olivia Johnsen/Elite Athlete (pictured above):One of the great things about Olivia’s success is that we got to be part of her journey – and for that we feel truly blessed! Olivia is now a senior at Hillsborough High School and a member of the Varsity Girls’ Lacrosse Team. We met Olivia as she was finishing up 8th grade. We saw how quiet she was – and I don’t think she believed she was an elite athlete. Her dedication to her training to gain strength and increase speed and overall performance was truly commendable. We literally watched her get stronger, faster, more determined and most of all more confident. Olivia is a beautiful girl on the inside and out. She dreamed it, she believed it, she worked HARD for it, and she ACHIEVED it. She not only received an athletic scholarship to a Division 1 college, but also an academic scholarship. Olivia Johnsen, I don’t think you know how proud we are of you – how happy we are for you, and how much we are going to miss you next year. Central Michigan is lucky to have you, and we are so honored you invited us to your signing! CONGRATS OJ!!!

“I am a high school English teacher, and I hit 200 pounds after my first year on the job. I had no energy and would come home from work and fall asleep … I was introduced to this lifestyle and was able to lose and maintain a 60 pound weight loss. I have more energy than ever and I feel like a new person.
I am able to be the teacher that I want to be to my students and I am able to live an active healthy lifestyle …For so long I thought eating Lean Cuisine’s meant that I was dieting, boy was I wrong. This lifestyle has taught me so much more than just how to shake up a shake. It has taught me how to choose healthier alternatives so that I can sustain my weight loss and keep up with my busy on the go lifestyle.”

NOTE FROM HILLARIE – Month of December:I hate to start out my December note with “Well the holidays are approaching” LOL, but they really are! The seasons go so fast . . . One minute we are whooping it up on Memorial Day weekend at the beach, and the next we are setting the table for Thanksgiving and putting out the Holiday decorations. During all this rushing around, we are short on sleep, short on time for our workouts, and short on time for meal planning and prep. What does all of this amount to? Usually 6-11 pounds for many of us. So even if a client or family member tells me that they really want to lose weight during December, I remind them that if they just “tried” to be diligent on their diets during the week – knowing they will be splurging a bit with food on the weekends around the holidays, at least they can maintain their weight instead of gaining weight between Thanksgiving and New Years. And then we need to re-focus in January – no silly resolutions that are so drastic we fail during the month of January . . .but realistic life style changes that work. Make a commitment to yourself. We are so quick to commit to others – yet we put our own health and the way we feel about ourselves on the back burner. So think about coming to see us for training (whether it be with personal training, semi-private training or group training), and we will help guide you with cleaner eating, more time dedicated for sleep, time for prayer, and time for getting organized. Leave the training to us! Our certified/degreed trainers will help you reach your goals. 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 – Happy to help: 908-428-7978 –Hillarie

DRX DUCT CLEANING: Call George: (908) 755-2950 . . . THANK YOU to George Ghanime, owner of DRX Duct Cleaning, who learned that the Koll family was in need of having their air-ducts and AC/heating vents cleaned so they could bring their son, Chris Koll home from the hospital. Since Chris is undergoing chemotherapy, it is essential they do all they can to help his compromised immune system, so cleaning out all the duct work was first on the list to reduce the chances of mold, etc. I told George about the Koll family, and he immediately reached out to them to provide them with service, and he picked up the tab. George knew that Chris is one of the Steps Together beneficiaries, and he wanted to give back. Thank you so much, George! Visit their website: www.NJAirDuct.com

RWJ 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.

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!
