ONE WEEK OF FIT & FUN CAMP THIS YEAR!:  Due to popular demand, we are continuing our Fit & Fun Camp for children ages 7-13.  And with our training facility getting busier with sports training and personal training (yay!), we are starting out by booking ONE week of camp this July.  And if it looks like our schedule will permit, we may add an additional week as the summer grows closer.  So this camp is sure to fill up fast . . . Full payment is required to reserve your child’s place, and space is limited to 24 participants this year with more teenage team leaders to create an even better experience.   Camp will run the week of July 11th (Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. till noon).  Early Bird Special is $135 per child if you enroll by March 31st.  Price is $145 after March 31st.

JR. RAIDERS SPECIAL $89 for Unlimited Training!:  We want to encourage ALL our Jr. Raider athletes to start prepping for fall sports . . . It is so hard when athletes come to see us in June or July in an effort to get stronger and faster for fall sports – since most of their training starts in July and August.  It is so important to give growing bodies the TIME they need to build core strength, improve muscle and cardio endurance, increase flexibility, and build confidence.  Our Elite athlete Program (ages 12 or 13 through age 18) is JUST WHAT THEY NEED – so start NOW.  Whether they are preparing for football, lacrosse, cheerleading or any other sport, they need consistent training.  Our elite athlete program incorporates both age-appropriate weight training, as well as conditioning using great equipment like speed ladders mixed with cones and hurdles to improve foot-patterns, quickness, explosiveness, and ability to change direction.  Our bodyweight exercises as well as use of TRX suspension straps and medicine balls build muscle and core strength — and the use of our weighted sleds, weighted ropes and plyo-boxes help to improve overall conditioning – and will also improve their vertical jump and overall strength.  We intentionally incorporate the use of bands and tubing to encourage “joint integrity”, so these athletes are not just building strength but they are conditioning their joints to reduce the risk of injury.  At !MPACT Training, we work very closely with two local physical therapists when planning our program designs for training, as well as when working one-on-one with athletes.  Athletic performance is something that requires careful planning and testing, and you can count on our certified/degreed personal trainers to help your athletes get into the best shape of their lives.  The will approach their season with more confidence than you can imagine.  We also offer Kids’ Sports Training for children (7-12) on Saturday’s at 10:00 a.m. These are discounted at $15 per session or $55 for the month (4 Saturdays). For more info or to try one of our sessions, email:  [email protected].  As mentioned this special is only $89 for the month – and all sessions are guided by Personal Trainers for safe and effective workouts!  We accept cash, checks and VISA/MC/Discover.  CLICK HERE to see quick video/commercial, showing what !MPACT is all about! 

IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO COACH . . . YOU NEED TO BE RUTGERS SAFETY CERTIFIED Hillsborough Township Parks & Recreation will be hosting a Spring Rutgers Safety first Clinic on March 30th.  This is a one-class certification that is good for life which allows volunteers to coach children under the age of 18.  CLICK HERE for Rutgers Safety First Clinic Registration

 GETTING READY FOR THE NFL DRAFT !  (see pics below!)

FUELING FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE! As many of you know, every year I am contracted by BMartinSports and now Parabolic Performance & Rehab to handle the sports nutrition for elite college athletes headed to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis or preparing for their Pro Day in March.  I’ve had the pleasure of providing nutritional counseling for superstars like Joe Flacco (Ravens), Patrick Peterson (Cardinals), Arthur Moats (Pittsburgh), Will Tye (NY Giants) in addition to about 20 more athletes who are presently playing in the NFL.  This is always an amazing opportunity for me to teach these young men about the importance of fueling and refueling so they get stronger, faster and more explosive.  It is so important they learn about positive energy (calories consumed) vs. negative energy (energy/calories expended during training) because some of them have to gain weight for their position, others have to decrease bodyfat while maintaining a specific weight.  And then still there are others who are at their goal weight – and it is hard to hang onto due to their rigorous training.  So they can’t play guessing games . . . they have to have a PLAN!  They also have to make time for meal planning and supplementation so they reach their goals in a short period of time.  We used a meal delivery service this year called:  www.EatCleanBro.com and they did a great job of helping these athletes to stay in their allotted calorie range.  So a BIG SHOUT OUT and lots of well wishes for these young men I had the pleasure of working with this year:

Nick Arbuckle, Georgia, Quarterback

Seth Devalve, Princeton Univ., Wide Receiver

Rykeem Yates, Univ. Nevada, D-Line

Richard Leonard, FIU, Cornerback

Quentin Guase, Rutgers, O-Linebacker

Cedrick Lang, UTep, Tight End

!MPACT “STUFF”

WE DO TURF RENTALS!:  We are starting to get quite a few requests from teams to rent our spacious indoor turf field . . . It’s the perfect space for athletes and sports teams to do their indoor training.  In our 4800 sq. ft. facility we offer a 20 x 18 yard turf area that has a state-of-the-art plyometric cushioning beneath the turf, in addition to high ceilings — so we are able to offer athletes & teams a safe and spacious area to train or practice.  This is also perfect for teams who need to do an indoor “walk-thru” practice or any other kind of team-building event or get-together (i.e. end-of-season parties).  Rates are extremely reasonable.  Please call or email us to find out our availability for the days/times you are interested in reserving for your team (908) 428-7978 or email:  [email protected]

PERSONAL TRAINING IS FOR ATHLETES TOO!:  If you have a young athlete (ages 7-18) who needs to set sports specific goals, let our trainers help you reach them with our one-on-one training sessions.  Whether your child/teen needs to work on running form to improve their 40-Yard Dash – or needs to work on speed & agility — needs to increase stamina, strength, or their vertical jump, our trainers will help you get there.  Our customized plans are based on each client’s specific goals – and we identify their strengths and weaknesses . . . then we get to work!  As mentioned in the previous paragraph, elite athletes who purchase discount 10 or 20-packs of personal training sessions are eligible to come for ONE FREE group training session per week.  They would greatly benefit from our Elite Athlete Training, and if they are 15 years or older, they can jump into any bootcamp or weight-training session for adults.  What a great way to train in the off-season or to stay conditioned during your regular season!  We offer personal training throughout the day – starting early morning, straight through till 9:00 p.m.  Just call us to let us know the time frame your child or teen would like to train, and we’ll match that up with our trainer availability.  Email Mike at: [email protected]

 NOTE FROM HILLARIE:

March:  OK . . . We can start counting down the weeks and days until nice warm weather breaks because Spring is on its way . . . YAY!  If you’ve tried to come up with a winter plan and you are not feeling successful, don’t give up.  Remember, the only way to fail is to quit.  We will have no quitters here.  Start to think healthy/unprocessed when planning meals, drink lots of water (at least ½ your bodyweight in ounces of water), eat a meal or snack every 3 hours, and lower your calories as the day goes on.  Try making lunch your biggest meal, and don’t snack after dinner.  Squeeze in some time to work out . . . no just to lose weight, but to keep your body healthy.  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.
