3-MONTH HOLIDAY SPECIAL FOR JANUARY DISCOUNTS!:  Whether you want to give this as a gift to someone special or you want to finally make that commitment of health & fitness to yourself, we have a special for you!  Remember, we are not a gym where you have to design your own program or motivate yourself.  Therefore, people are either coming to !MPACT for personal training, athlete training, nutrition, or for any of our group training — ALL of which are guided by one of our personal trainers.  Every session is carefully planned by our trainers, so it takes the guess work out of your training regimen.  New clients will pay only $297 for 3-months of training  (January, February, and March), and they are eligible to participate in any/all of our group training.   In addition, we will be providing you with a FREE jump-start nutritional plan. This training and nutrition special saves you $157!!!!  AND in three months you could make a complete transformation, IF you are committed.  Let us help you!  If you would like sign-up for our 3-Month Special OR would like to purchase a gift certificate please call Michael at (908) 403-7605 or email:  [email protected] 

COLLEGE KIDS – SPECIAL RATE:  Just a reminder, we offer college students the same discounted rate as our High School and Middle School students . . . Only $99 per month for Unlimited Training, and they can come every day!  Perfect if they are home from school for the holidays and January!  Check out our December Monthly Training Calendar within this newsletter.

RECORD CERTIFIED:  We have now started incorporating REDCORD/ACTIVCORE equipment for our one-on-one training clients.  By using this equipment (pictured above), we can help our clients learn to function in healthier 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 on December 11th and 12th, 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 range of motion or are inflexible.  When working with Redcord equipment you will use your body’s DEEP core muscles, and will teach your body how to stop moving in dysfunctional patterns.  AMAZING!   See pictures of equipment in use (above).

KIDS’ TRAINING IS BACK ON SATURDAYS!:  Whatever your sport . . . We can help enhance performance.  If you have a child (ages 7-12) who would love an awesome 45-minute workout, then you don’t want to miss our training on Saturday mornings at 10:00 a.m. Our trainer will run them through drills and exercises to enhance performance and improve balance, flexibility and strength.  The kids will participate in fun speed & agility drills, as well as learn proper running form, perform timed obstacle courses and more!  If you need more info, please call Michael at 908-403-7605.

SENIORS’ STRENGTH TRAINING (AGES 55-60+) IS HAPPENING EVERY TUESDAY AT 10:00 A.M.!  This training session is for men and women who are age 55-60 or older!  This is a discounted weekly program for seniors, so please call Michael Scannelli if you are interested in getting started on this new program or would like pricing:  908-403-7605.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!

CONGRATS PAM!!!  You look 10+ years younger in your after photos!!  Thank you for sharing your pictures (Above) as well as your story:  “It’s true, a healthy lifestyle really is the fountain of youth. Nutrition is everything! I struggled with my self-esteem my whole life. I’m finally comfortable in my own skin and have found freedom in feeding my body the nutrition it needs! I’ve truly NEVER had more energy or felt better!”

YOU ROCK JOSH!  You have to hear Josh’s story . . . THIS is about following your heart and realizing that fitness is a journey. Josh started in 2012 . . . Look at the freaking transformation this guy made (Pictured ABOVE). So proud of my team mate . . . CONGRATS JOSH. His Story:  “This picture is what I call The Universe. The picture on the left is from 2012. I think back to then and I was not very healthy and I lived in struggle. I was in a toxic relationship. My dialogue with money was always a stressful one. I exercised but as you can see I was living proof that losing weight was 80 % nutrition and 20% exercise. I didn’t believe I was worthy of greatness because I believed I had to work hard and be really busy to get anywhere in life. Today on the right I finally get it. I listen to the universe and what it’s telling me. All of my struggles changed the minute I started to listen. This amazing woman showed up in my life. I married her. I let go of the money dialog because I know that I will make enough to live a life of abundance. One day I was presented the opportunity of nutritional cleansing and I thought you require to try this. Today I lost 80 pounds and I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been. Again being living proof that losing weight is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. Today I live and breathe confidence because I am worthy of all of it!!!! Here’s my advice to you. If it feels really uncomfortable for you then you can be sure you will grow from it. That level of being uncomfortable is really the universe whispering in your ear saying go do it and do it like a freaking rockstar!!!!!!”

PAYING-IT-FORWARD:

SWEAT ANGELS & !MPACT TRAINING:  We found another way to give back. . And every month there is a different cause, and the more Facebook check-ins we get, the more the Sweat Angels donate. So far our program at !MPACT has donated 12,050 gallons of clean water to those in need, 784 bowls of food to pets in shelters, bricks to help build a school, cancer screenings for those who would not have been able to afford them, and toys for tots in December.

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:  It’s almost January, and it’s always the time we start to think about what went well in 2016, and what might need to change in 2017.  Life doesn’t get better by chance, it happens with change.  And maybe you keep making “real” excuses as to how busy you are and how you have no time for yourself.  Well, maybe we need shuffle our priorities so that we can become the best version of ourselves in 2017.  Cleaner eating, more exercise, more time dedicated for sleep, time for prayer, time for getting organized.  You can totally do this.  But you can’t succeed unless you START.  And remember, the only way to fail is to quit.  We will have no quitters here.  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

FRANKLIN MEDICAL GROUP:  Dr. Steven DelMaestro (MD, Internal Medicine) of Hillsborough, NJ was approached to head up Franklin Medical Group – a new medical practice affiliated with Somerset Medical Hospital.  Before taking on this new venture, Dr. DelMaestro had his own practice for 22 years, operating out of his offices in New Brunswick and North Brunswick (NJ).  So . . . when is the last time you had a complete physical?  Your health is so important – and so is finding a doctor who cares and actually takes the time to get to know you and your health history.  Maybe you are presently getting medical care from a practice that is so huge – with so many different doctors that you feel it lacks that personal touch.  Make your health a priority:  908-685-2526 (located @ Franklin Commons, 454 Elizabeth Avenue, Suite 210, Somerset, New Jersey).
