FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL . . . STARTS JUNE 3rd for high school athletes and those entering 8th grade in September. You can’t wait until August training camp to start working on your 40 yd. dash to improve your time . . . and you also have to train heavy and hard in the weight room long before the start of the season. So every Friday starting on June 3rd from 6:30-8:00 p.m. we will be offering a special training program that will include: Strength Training workouts to develop upper-body strength, lower-body strength, CORE strength and explosiveness; Speed & Agility, along with running form and first –step quickness; Plyometrics to help improve vertical jump and explosiveness –using our new Vertimax Trainer!! This will be everything your athlete needs to feel confident heading onto the field this fall. And we will also provide each athlete with helpful sports nutrition info so they can meet their weight-gain or weight-loss goals for their position. Registration is required. Please call Michael for pricing & info: 908-403-7605. P.S. There will be ONE “make-up” session for anyone who misses a session during the month of June – and for any of the 8th graders who will be away on the annual trip to Hershey on Friday, June 10th. The make-up session will take place on an alternate date in June (to be determined).
!MPACT Training would like to welcome the VERTIMAX TRAINER (photos below)!!! If you are not familiar with this piece of equipment, let me just tell you the POWER it is going to give to our athletes. This patented, jump-training technology is specifically designed to power in all phases of a vertical jump – which is great for every sport. By simultaneously targeting explosive leg power and arm swing velocity, athletes can now maximize their vertical lift component and get unmatched vertical gains. Vertimax is the only equipment that applies resistance to the glutes, quads, calves, and hip-flexors, at the SAME TIME while sprinting. The result is off-the-chart acceleration and top-end gains for any athlete. This equipment is used by professional athletes in the NFL, NBA and more . . . And at !MPACT, we will be using this new equipment on our personal training clients, as well as semi-private sessions and our brand new Friday Night Football Program starting June 3rd. We are so excited to invest more in our athletes and introduce the new Vertimax Trainer! We offer 55-Minute personal training and semi-private sessions, as well as 30-minute sessions. Please call for pricing and availability. CLICK HERE to view video that shows athletes of all different sports demonstrating its use and effectiveness: https://youtu.be/CNrCY2lru54
Two of the MANY ways to use the Vertimax Trainer:
TEEN FUNDRAISING BOOTCAMP . . .

So at this time, we would like to honor and support Chris and his family by holding a special bootcamp just for teens (ages 12-18) on Sunday, June 12th, at 10:00 a.m. Each participant will bring a donation of $20 or more (cash or checks payable to Esther Koll). They will need all of our support as they head into 3 years of treatment for Chris . . . Let’s show our love and support for this amazing family who has always been there for everyone else. We’ve gotten numerous requests from Chris’s team mates, friends and peers that they want to do something to help – which is amazing!

Hill and Todd (San Diego Mentorship 2011 — Pre-!MPACT Training)
Todd (featured on NBC Strong series — May 2016)
NBC STRONG: My mentor and friend, Todd Durkin (pictured above) is featured as one of the trainers on this amazing show! I’m not sure if any of you have been watching the show on Thursday nights at 8:00 p.m. on channel 4 . . . It is called STRONG . . . Executive Producer is Sylvester Stallone, and the show matches up 10 talented and somewhat famous male trainers with 10 women from all different parts of the U.S. who are in need of losing some weight and building muscle to get lean and STRONG. And many of these ladies are going through some tough times at home, so they need to get mentally STRONG as well. Last week was an amazing episode where Todd Durkin and his female client, Brittany, broke a record in making it though the elimination tower (which is like a combination of Ninja Warrior exercises mixed with strength – super challenging!). They earned their spot to continue on the show – and they are now down to the final 3 teams. LOVE watching my friend helping to inspire and change lives (on and off the show)! Pictured below is Todd from the show, along with a picture of Todd and me when I traveled to San Diego for his mentorship program. His program is what inspired “!MPACT Training” so I am forever grateful to him! He made such an IMPACT on me that it helped me to quickly come up with the name for our training facility. Thank you, Todd!
VIRTUAL COACHING: This is the latest way people are setting and reaching their fitness goals – especially if they don’t live close to !MPACT. The first 1-hour session via phone with Hillarie is a great way for the client to outline his/her fitness goals . . . whether it be weight-loss; improved energy levels; building muscle while decreasing bodyfat to get leaner and stronger; receiving workout programs (via email) to do on your own so you get the results you are looking for — or maybe you just need that motivation, knowing you are being held accountable to an expert in this field. Your program can also be a combination of nutritional & dietary guidance along with exercise counseling. And you will actually small have homework assignments depending on your goals. As part of the initial session, you will also be emailed some nutritional info and general fitness handouts that you will go over with Hillarie 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 food log and exercise log that will be emailed 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 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 for an additional 5 weeks, that can also be arranged. For pricing, please email: [email protected]

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!
GREAT UPDATE ON FRANK AND RENEE DELCORE! Just a little over two weeks into their program and they had both lost several pounds. Drum roll please . . . Frank lost a total of 18 pounds and Renee lost 16 pounds (which was 1 pound higher than her goal to try to lose 15 pounds in 30 days). So proud of the mindset and commitment from both of them, and it’s awesome when couples do the program together. Not everyone who cleanses with this program is a training client of ours at !MPACT – but we are so happy to say Frank and Renee are awesome clients and friends of ours. Congrats guys xoxo
CONGRATULATIONS GINNY BLANKE!! So Ginny also finished her 30-Day Program and she is also one of our favorite bootcampers!! Congrats Ginny on losing 15 pounds with your 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse. Love your dedication to the program, and you look amazing!!!!
YOU ROCKED IT BARBARA PUEBLA . . . Ok so we mentioned Barb in our last newsletter as she was sailing through the first two weeks of her 30-Day Program. Well Barb lost 17.8 pounds in ONE MONTH! And Barb will be having foot surgery soon so she was restricted from working out during her program. Just goes to show you that if your mind is set to lose, you can still get GREAT results. Way to go girl, and I know you are excited to start another month to reach your goals!!
LOVE GETTING EMAIL LIKE THIS ONE FROM CLEANSER, SUSAN KOSBY who wanted to lose some weight – she wasn’t sure of how much. Susan just wanted to take her time with weight loss to get healthier. Well here was her email that just made my day!!! Dear Hillarie: OK so I started Nutritional Cleansing on Oct. 1, 2015 …. I lost 31 lbs. in total and HAVE NOT GAINED ANY WEIGHT BACK. For me, this program totally works – The “key to success,” for me … is very simple. I stay on plan, have my two shakes, eat good food snacks, veggies, hard boiled eggs, etc. And I eat a good meal 1X daily. I try and eat organic as much as possible so I don’t consume the added hormones that throw everything off. I eat good food, I don’t live on supplements. But I use the Isa-snacks when traveling or for those isolated times only when replacing a meal. But the key is … I still enjoy that special meal – dining out, party etc. I choose wisely. Maybe I have the pasta and a little bread but no dessert. Or those 2 glasses of wine and a special appetizer. But the next day I am right back! And the following week, I do a day or two of “cleansing”. Hillarie – the cleanse is essential. It pulls out all the toxins that are critical to losing weight…. I can feel the difference. The cleanse balances everything out, balances my weight, energizes me, makes me feel so good that I don’t gain any weight and rids the toxins. I can’t thank you and all for your help because as I approach the end of my 8th month, I look and feel great.
LOOK AT JASON FOX ROCKING THIS PROGRAM . . . WAS DOWN 8 POUNDS BY DAY 8! He asked if this was average . . . and I told him that every person is different. Sometimes people lose quickly in the beginning and then it levels out and then picks back up again. For others it is slow and steady the whole month. I’m just thrilled that he is feeling energetic and rocking this program! Keep me posted Jason! Can’t wait to see your results by day 30!
YAY for SHARON CURRY who feels ready for summer! Sharon only had a few stubborn pounds to lose, and was mostly looking for the energy and health benefits of nutritional cleansing. Sharon lost 8 pounds and is feeling great! Remember, losing 8 pounds means a whole size smaller so someone needs to go shopping . . . YAHOO!!

Felicia
CONGRATS TO MY TEAM MATES ANDREW, CHAD AND FELICIA (see photos above)! Thank you for sharing your before and after photos with the hope you might inspire others.

Andrew released 60 pounds through Nutritional Cleansing . . . Chad is only 15 years old, and was tired of being the kid who was overweight with no energy – LOVE a kid that takes charge and learns to be disciplined and goal oriented.

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:
June: Well Summer is almost here. Memorial Day Weekend is like the “kick-off” to the summer, but the real summer months are still a few weeks away. So let’s use the next few weeks to get our minds right. Mindset is everything. If we “think” we can accomplish a goal, then by all means, we CAN! But if we doubt ourselves, compare ourselves to others or worry about doing it wrong, we are just setting ourselves up for another failure. Maybe failing is something you have grown comfortable with when it comes to fitness and nutrition. Maybe you have this nagging 15 pounds that you’ve put on over the last year that you keep saying you want to get serious about taking it off. So you start out with great intentions and a great game plan with meal planning and exercise . . . and then it happens . . . life gets in the way . . . your kids need you . . . or a sick or aging parent needs you . . . or your job is super hectic. So instead of staying focused on our goal, we look for an excuse – a real excuse for kicking back and enjoying extra calories or “spirits”. It’s called “stress eating and drinking”. Some people may be able to relate to this. I have to catch myself, and I am always grateful for my sense of awareness. We all deserve to kick back a little, but when you set a goal for yourself, I’m sure in your mind you really want to reach it. So why do you keep starting over every Monday? Why? Because that is what so many of us do . . . We worry too much about everyone else instead of caring about ourselves, carving out time for ourselves and making our own health and fitness a priority. So please, let this be a gentle reminder that you need to take some time for yourself. Here are two of my favorite quotes . . .
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~Anonymous
If you want to achieve greatness stop asking for permission. ~Anonymous
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.
