Let !MPACT Training Help You Get in the Best Shape of Your Life!
LIVE INSPIRED . . . TWO MARCH CONTESTS! Sometimes a little friendly competition is all we need to stay on track. So we are running TWO contests in March for all adult clients (age 18+) . . . 1) We are rewarding those who clock-in the most training sessions (group, privates or combination of both). The winner will receive one 55-minute personal training session + one month of UNLIMITED TRAINING = SUPER VALUE! 2) We are also having another contest for those who are using our ZONE training/technology with their special MyZone band. The male client and female client who have the highest amount of Effort Points for the month of March will receive a super cool MyZone T-shirt (see pic below – comes in men’s style and ladies fit). YOU MUST SIGN UP TO BE IN BOTH CONTESTS. PLEASE SEE ONE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS TO REGISTER FOR EITHER CONTEST.
QUATERLY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS ARE PROVING TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE. This will help you stay on track – and we can help! If any of you set annual New Year’s weight-loss resolutions — and started off like gang-busters, let me ask you . . . Are you feeling “on track” or did you lose steam? Don’t fall off the wagon yet! Sometimes it is the smallest “life-style” changes that will really help make a huge impact on the outcome – and easier to do if you set goals in 3-month intervals. Start by incorporating these five simple hints:
SET A DATE:Again, we are keeping the goals small . . . so let’s start with a quarterly goal for weight-loss (and then break it down by month). So if you wanted to lose 25-30 pounds in the next 3 months, set a goal for each month – let’s start with March . . . Maybe we can shoot high and aim to lose 8-10 pounds during March. That is possible – you just need to really pay attention to numbers 2, 3, 4, and 5 below:
DRINK WATER: Do you have any idea how much weight you can lose just by drinking ½ your body-weight in ounces? DO IT! It is the simplest thing to do – but you have to work at it since most of us do not drink anywhere near that much. Since I weigh 138 pounds, I drink 69 oz. of water per day and more during exercise.
DON’T SKIP BREAKFAST: Stop skipping breakfast because you don’t feel hungry or you are in a hurry . . . This slows down your metabolism and puts you in a fat-storing state once you go to grab lunch – and you break the “fast”. Instead, have a quick meal replacement shake – that will regulate blood-sugar levels which is so important to do in the morning. To order the ones I highly recommend that are extremely nutrient dense (with NO artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners): https://hillariescannelli.isagenix.com/
EXERCISE MORE: A recent study showed that people who exercised for 50 minutes 4-5 days per week were not only able to shed unwanted bodyfat, but they were able to KEEP IT OFF years later! Let’s do this! Re-prioritize . . . I know it’s hard – but let’s MAKE time.
EAT 4–6 SMALLER MEALS/SNACKS THROUGHOUT THE DAY – AND ONE CHEAT MEAL PER WEEK!!:Put your metabolism into fast gear by having a snack that is high in fiber, low in calorie and low in sugar & starch – and have these snacks in between your breakfast and lunch – and again in between lunch and dinner (fruits and vegetables make a great choice since they are low in calorie too – or maybe a small handful of nuts – or ½ of a protein bar. You don’t need to eat the whole thing!).

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL:
Dan Wolen (Hillsborough, NJ – pictured above): I initially came to !MPACT about a year and a half ago to sign my son Ben up for off season training with the Jr Raiders. When I first walked in and met with Mike Scannelli, I was impressed with the time he took to explain exactly what the team at !MPACT would do to train Ben while also making it age appropriate (so he would get faster and stronger, but they wouldn’t let him over do it or go beyond his limits). Shortly after signing Ben up I decided to try a complimentary bootcamp myself. For years prior I was a pretty good athlete through running, swimming and biking in preparation for various races but wanted something more. I worked out, but not much outside of running and biking.
Just like was promised for my son, the bootcamp was created with all ability levels in mind. There were beginners, intermediates and advanced athletes but all stations were designed to be adaptable to all ability levels. After that trial class, I immediately signed up for myself because I knew this was a training facility I wanted to be a part of. We weren’t just customers but we were extended family. Mike and Hillarie are local residents of Hillsborough and genuinely care about all their clients. What other gym knows everyone’s names, their family and their goals without a cheat sheet? During the past year and a half I have gotten faster, stronger and in the best conditioning of my life. The bootcamps are fun but challenging. In addition to the trainers, we hold each other accountable and celebrate each other’s success. Many of us “bootcampers” met at !MPACT but have started socializing outside of !MPACT and have developed lasting friendships. In fact, as I write this, a group of us are joint training and will participate together in the April Spartan Beast (14 miles) in Mountain Creek. We are proud to represent as “Team !MPACT.”
Since that first group session, I began attending other classes that are offered at !MPACT like Strength Training, HIIT and 5+1. Like bootcamp, they are always different and push everyone to higher levels no matter what our previous physical backgrounds or current goals. I wake up every morning excited to get to the gym, see my !MPACT family and get a good sweat. Some nights I even come back to !MPACT to end my day on a good note as well.
That same year and a half later, my son still comes with the Jr Raiders and constantly says “I want to keep working out hard like you dad”. I’m grateful that Mike, Hillarie and all the trainers have become a part of my family and allowed me to set a positive role model for my son of what hard work and dedication can achieve.
OTHER IMPACT “STUFF”:
NEW REFERRAL PROGRAM – CONTEST: We already offer a special bonus/discount for any present client who brings a friend who signs up with us. But in March, we wanted to turn it into a contest . . .

FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING ABOUT OUR NEW ZONE TRAINING:We want to help our clients SET and REACH their fitness goals. 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. 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?!!!

Kids are broken up into age appropriate groups for training. THIS YEAR CAMP WILL BE THE WEEK OF JULY 9TH — Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon.

MOMMY & ME CLASSES ARE HERE! These sessions will be held HERE at !MPACT Training every Wednesday from 12:30 to 1:15. For an optimal workout, it is probably best to bring your child who is between the ages of 3months and 12 months, but I am open to trying with babies a little bit older – please give me a call. This workout will provide a little ME time for mommy – squeezing in some exercise to help tighten and tone her body – and your baby will be used for fun exercises like squats and other natural movements holding your baby for additional weight. Hillarie will also provide helpful handouts about nutrition so you can couple this mommy & me exercise session with clean eating to help you reach your fitness goals and to keep your body energized. It’s fun, it’s social and it’s good for you . . . And what a great example you are setting for your baby by showing him or her how important it is to take good care of your body. Come join the fun – while getting fit! Give me a call if you would like to register or if you need pricing or further info (Hillarie 908-403-7620). And stay tuned . . . I plan to coordinate a session with Elizabeth (owner of our Hillsborough Gymboree), as she will be having a baby drop-off play session at Gymboree this summer – and !MPACT will have a training session offered for those moms and dads who would like to get a great workout done while their baby is playing at Gymboree. We are only a few blocks away from Gymboree so it will work out great.
DO YOU HAVE A TEENAGE ATHLETE WHO WANTS TO GET STRONGER FOR A VARSITY SPORT?: Maybe your teenager is already going to a local gym to work out with friends – or the weight room at school . . . But are they working hard enough? Are they using proper form when weight training to reduce injury? We have helped numerous high school athletes to get stronger – and also to meet the requirements for varsity sports (i.e. varsity lacrosse requires the athlete be able to bench half their bodyweight). Over the last 6 years since we opened, we have also helped numerous high school athletes prepare for Division 1, 2 and 3 college sports – which also has requirements for each athlete. Let our degreed/certified trainers help your athlete set and meet their goals in the weight room. Now is the time to start thinking about prepping in the off season. We’ve already had students reaching out who want to be stronger for football by July & August . . . I love that they realize they need to put in the time now – and not ask us to help them get stronger during June. Their growing bodies need time and consistency with weight training. Call us for a consultation, pricing and availability for personal training for your athlete: 908-428-7978.
SPEED, AGILITY, STRENGTH & CONDITIONING – ELITE ATHLETE TRAINING: Let us help your athlete get faster, stronger and learn proper running form, along with learning about Sports Nutrition so they fuel their bodies for optimal performance. They will build core strength, increase speed & quickness, and condition their bodies to improve overall performance. This program is a combination of weights and speed/endurance training, so it’s perfect for any athlete. Most of all, our trainers will help build CONFIDENCE in your kids. This is a discounted Unlimited Training Program just for athletes. We also offer one-on-one sessions or partner sessions for those who want to work with a trainer on a more specific goal. E-mail us if you want more info: [email protected]
KIDS TRAINING IS HERE ON SATURDAYS at 10:00 a.m.!: This program is always a hit for ages 7-12 . . . During this 45-minute workout, we focus on speed, agility, strength & conditioning through our athlete bootcamp using fun equipment like ladders, hurdles, rebounder, medicine balls, slide boards, plyo-boxes, and more! If you have a 12 year old that you would like us to evaluate, we would be happy to see if their athletic abilities would be better utilized in our Elite Athlete Program for kids 13+. KIDS Training drop-ins are only $15, or the discounted rate for the month/4 sessions) is $55.
MARCH GROUP TRAINING SCHEDULE (CLICK HERE): Why is our Group Training different than a big box gym where you can take classes or work out on your own? You are ALWAYS led by a Certified or Degreed Personal Trainer – not just a fitness coach who was certified by the gym where they work. Great trainers are hard to find . . . but we take our time and we choose high-level trainers who are ready to motivate you and guide you, every single session! We are a training facility that offers personal training, multi-level bootcamps, elite athlete training, weight training sessions, weight-loss programs, nutrition and more! Please check out our schedule as we offer programs for adults, teens and kids. Questions? Give us a call: (908) 428-7978! #investinyou

!MPACT — PAYING-IT-FORWARD:
STEPS TOGETHER LUNCHEON HOSTED BY IMPACT TRAINING:On Sunday, February 25th, !MPACT hosted a lovely luncheon with all the Steps Together board members, large donors and many of the beneficiaries & their families. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to officially “meet & eat” instead of through email or Facebook correspondence. The Steps Together Board Members made this all happen – setting up our training facility to look like a beautiful restaurant with tables, chairs, linens and fresh flowers – and donating food, dinnerware/utensils, beverages and MORE. We had some local establishments who donated trays of food so that we could keep the cost down – remembering the money we collect for Steps Together needs to go to the families – the beneficiaries. Many THANKS to Catered Affair, Tender Lovin Grill, Super Sundaes, and Jersey Mike’s for their generous donations of food . . . AND our amazing IMPACT Training clients who donated so many delicious desserts. We would also like to thank the establishments who offered us food or services at a discount: Alfonso’s and United Rental. I just love the way this community came together – once again – to help those in need. And !MPACT Training was honored to have a 4800 square foot facility that we could donate for the day!!

NOTE FROM HILLARIE – Month of March:Can you believe spring will be here this month?!!!!

So as we mentioned earlier in our newsletter, it definitely helps to set health and fitness goals on a quarterly basis. It’s less intimidating and we feel a greater sense of achievement. So let us help you! Please give us a call to get a free consultation. Leave the training, nutrition and positive mindset to us! Our certified/degreed trainers will help you reach your goals.

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.

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!

TENDER LOVIN GRILL (TLG): If any of you haven’t made your way into the restaurant that is located at the corner of Rt. 206 and Amwell Road, you are really missing out. Not only is the food delicious, but nothing is processed or frozen . . . everything on their menu is freshly made. So I met with the owners of TLG, Steve and Maribeth to talk about implementing an !MPACT Menu – which would be delicious foods that are also calorie-conscious. So if you live or work locally in Hillsborough, you can stop in to check out their specials . . . their regular menu and their !MPACT Menu so you know you are staying on track with your weight-loss plan. We will keep copies of the !MPACT Menu at our front desk so our clients can pick up lunch or dinner on days when they just don’t have time to cook a healthy meal. And Steve & Maribeth will also have copies at their counter. They have awesome food . . . you have to stop in to see them! Lots of their regular menu items as well as their “Specials for the Week” are also super healthy and delicious.
