New! ZONE TRAINING @ IMPACT:  We want to help our clients SET and REACH their fitness goals — so this is something we started in December.  For those who are interested in using the latest technology, our trainers are prepared to turn ALL of your workouts into ZONE Training – whether you are coming for personal training, bootcamps, strength training or Elite Athlete Training!  This will help you burn fat and build lean muscle so you are fit and energized!

This new Zone training method involves using a special heart-rate monitor (chest strap) that not only connects to your cell phone app, but the minute you walk into IMPACT Training, your device connects via Bluetooth – so your name appears in a box on our giant-screen TV.  With this technology, you can simply glance at the display to see the zone you are training in during your workout.  This cutting-edge technology is completely optional for our clients, but so far everyone seems to want IN!  This new system not only displays the percentage of your max heart rate during your entire workout, but it is color-coded so you can easily see whether you are in fat-burning mode or high intensity/conditioning mode.  Your heart rate is 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.  And continuing to toggle back and forth between zones is a great way to burn fat and get the most results from your workout.  Lastly, this technology emails you right after your workout to tell you exactly how many calories you burned during your workout – and it also tells you how much time you spent in each zone.  You are awarded Effort Points for reaching your personalized zones, and prizes are awarded!  You can also take this new heart-rate monitor out with you when you train on your own – just put the strap on, and log in via your phone app . . . It will add your morning run or home workout to your IMPACT workouts so you can track your progress for the week.  This equipment is so helpful whether your goal is weight-loss –or building stamina/endurance for a fitness race or event Just speak to Michael at the front desk and he can order your strap – DO NOT ORDER ON-LINE, as we get them for our clients at a discount!  We literally get them for 50% off, and we want to pass that savings onto our clients.  Once you receive it, you register it on-line with all your personal data – and you will automatically be connected to our facility as soon as you walk in!  How cool is this?!!!

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER

CONGRATS TO RYAN, who is on my nutritional cleansing team. Here is a guy who realized he was starting to run into some health issues, all stemming from increased bodyfat in his mid-section.  I’m sure many of us can understand how easy it is to get that beer-belly as we age . . . And Ryan’s belly was putting him at risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes.  Ryan is in his 40’s, and is very busy with his career and his family – and he just wasn’t making the time to eat healthier or time to exercise.  Well, his before and after photos say it all.  In 16 weeks, he completely removed his beer belly!!!!  On top of that, his overall health is so much better as a result of his weight-loss, Ryan is also thrilled to have increased energy levels and great self-confidence that he hasn’t had in a while.  Check out his his AMAZING before and after photos ABOVE.

IMPACT — PAYING-IT-FORWARD:

WE WERE SO HAPPY WITH THE TURNOUT FOR OUR KIDS & KIDDIE BOOTCAMP FUNDRAISER – JANUARY 27THThis event was held on Saturday, January 27th and we were able to collect $1,000.00 in donations that are going directly to the Steps Together beneficiaries.  These are ALL local families who are in medical/financial crisis. Many thanks to all who came to support the event – AND thank you to the teenagers who donated their time to volunteer as a team leader to help with the fitness stations (Nicky McGovern, Erin McCrae, Gavin Houser, Tyreke Oxford, Aditi Rairikar, Ethan Rizzi, and Mady McGowan).  SEE FUN PHOTOS FROM THIS EVENT ABOVE.

SUPERBOWL DONATIONS:  Many thanks to our friends and clients who helped us raise another $1,000.00 for Steps Together with our Annual SuperBowl Collection/Pool.  Good luck to all who entered!  We love how generous this community is . . . always there to support each other – helping those in need.  And I love the saying “If we took all our troubles, wrote them down on a little piece of paper and tossed them into a hat, we would gladly pick our own problems back, then have to deal with struggles that others are going through.”  Such great perspective – so let’s try to stay as positive as we can . . . and keep these local families from Steps Together in our prayers.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR – Annual Charity Fashion Show in the Spring!:  We already have the date from Renaissance Salon!  The annual “Renaissance Runs the Runway” fashion show to benefit Steps Together (local charity supporting families in financial/medical crisis) – will be on Friday, April 20th, 2018.  It will be held again at the elegant Bridgewater Manor.  The best part about this event is that there are so many amazing things going on . . .

NOTE FROM HILLARIE – Month of February: How about setting some REAL goals this month since there is not usually a lot going on during February, except Valentine’s Day.  It is usually a cold, dreary month . . . which “may” make it more difficult to stay on track with our diet and training.  However, if we actually set up a program to follow, then there is a much better chance that “something” is going to change and “something good” is going to happen as a result.  So think about coming to see us for training (whether it be for personal training, partner training, semi-private training or group training), and we will provide you with clean eating guidelines, a precise workout regimen – and we also stress the importance of dedicating more time for sleep, time for prayer, and time for getting organized so you are productive and happy.  Leave the training, nutrition and positive mindset 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
