What are our Group “Personal Training” Sessions all about?  If you are following the fitness trends, you might remember that 5-8 years ago One-on-One (Personal) Training was at an all-time high.  People were tired of trying to figure out fitness on their own, and they benefited greatly from working with a trainer.  Although people are still making Personal Training a priority in their budget, the trends are now showing many people are also including “Group” Personal Training.  Sounds like an oxymoron – how could it be “personal” if you are with a group?  Truth be told, we work very hard during our group sessions to address each client’s individual needs.  We understand what our clients are capable of doing and also take specific conditions into consideration so everyone gets a safe and effective workout.  This also means that you work with a trainer at a fraction of the cost – and you are doing new and innovative exercises that will get you FIT really FAST!  We offer One-on-One Training, Partner Training or Semi-Private Training by appointment only.  And in addition to private appointments, we offer 22 Adult Group Training sessions per week that we post on our Monthly Training Calendar!  Times vary from early morning (5:45 a.m.) to mid-morning (9:30 and 10:00 a.m.) to lunchtime (12:30 p.m.) to evenings (6:30 or 7:30 p.m.).  We also offer TWO on Saturday mornings at 6:00 and 7:30 a.m.)  And we offer lots of times for teen athletes too! There must be a time that works for your schedule!  And the best part about it is that you are always pushed and motivated by a trainer.  We take the guess work out of your training!  Check out our Monthly Training Calendar to see all the days and times we offer Group Training.  It is a great way to decrease bodyfat, increase lean muscle, and get FIT!  Let’s do this!

CLIENT HIGHLIGHT:

We decided that since we are so thrilled with the positive transformations our clients are making to their bodies and their lives, we would highlight one or two of them each month so they might inspire you:

  Name of Client:  Janet McCrae (age 38 – Married – 2 Children)

Congratulations, Janet, for being chosen to run in the NYC Marathon on November 3rd.  We could not be any prouder of you!  Janet McCrae has been training with us since June 2012 . . . and is one of our dedicated bootcampers.  Janet is a Hillsborough resident who is busy mom with two active children (elementary school & intermediate school), and is also the Co-President of Hillsborough Elementary Home & School Association.  Janet ran track as a kid – through high school, and didn’t run for a long time after that.  And about 5 years ago, she set out to get healthier and started running – losing a total of 35 pounds.  Way to go, Janet!  She ran in the Philadelphia marathon in November of 2009, and the next item on Janet’s “bucket list” was the NYC Marathon.  She applied to run in the NYC Marathon for the last three years – but as you know, it is a raffle system because there are so many applicants.  Unfortunately, Janet didn’t get chosen until this year – and she is more than ready!  She carefully plans her running four days per week – working up to 20 miles.  Then she starts to taper them off as she approaches the week before the race.  Janet also participates in bootcamp two to three days per week for strength and endurance – and she and I met to set her up on a nutritional plan to match all of her activity.  It is so important to FUEL for optimal performance.  I was really touched when I received this email from Janet:

It’s hard to put into words what you and !mpact have done for me.  I’ve always been athletic, and I was a runner when I came to you but I never knew how strong I could become.  When I made it to the top of that rope at the Spartan race I felt so amazing.  I truly could not believe I did it.  It really was one of the best feelings of my life. I’ve never had any upper body strength before, and when I did that I knew that it was totally because of all of the boot camp workouts. Seeing my body change over the past year has really been an awesome journey for me.  It not only makes you stronger physically, but mentally as well.  You and the other bootcampers have truly inspired and challenged me.  I know that when I run NY in a few weeks, it is going to be an amazing experience and I feel confident in my ability because of the way you have inspired me to treat my body.  I’ve followed my training plan and I’ve followed my nutrition plan, and I know that it will pay off in the end. My legs are ready, my mind is ready and my entire body is ready.  Who knows what I will do next….

Does your teen athlete need to increase his/her Power & Strength?: If that is the case, we have the answer for you. Not only do we offer a Power & Strength Group Training Session every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. and Friday at 5:30 p.m., but we also offer an Elite Athlete LIFT session every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. and again on Friday at 4:30 p.m. All of these sessions are offered to teenagers 15+ and are a great way to build strength and confidence!  We will teach them proper form in addition to teaching them lots of new exercises. Sessions are only $20 to drop in (registration required for Power & Strength – so just call us to put your name on the list) — OR you can do Unlimited Training at a discount for $99 per month. This means your teen is entitled to do Elite Athlete LIFTS on Wednesdays and Fridays (weight training) — and also includes any Elite Athlete Training sessions (strength, conditioning, speed & agility) on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. for the low price of $99 per month for Unlimited Training. This means you should come to as many of these sessions as your schedule allows!  Wanna know the best part . . . Lastly, if your teen is 15+ they qualify to do all of our Elite Athlete Training, our Elite Athlete LIFT, Power & Strength, and ALL Of our Total Development Bootcamps — 26 Sessions per week — at $99 per month WOW!!  There has to be some sessions that they can squeeze into their busy schedules!

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).

SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY:  This is a great place to go for any type of physical rehab – and boy, are did a great job on my lower-back pain!  They handle everything from ligament sprains to arthritic pain.  I have always had a strong core and lower back, but I guess my age (47), my strenuous training routine/6 days per week, and the long hours I spend on my feet every day as a trainer can often take a toll on my lower back.  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!  They have multiple locations, and one of the partners, Jeff Erickson, is a neighbor of mine – great guy!  Can’t say enough about what an awesome facility this is!  Hillsborough location:  908-359-8800, Princeton (609) 419-0455, Somerset (732) 565-5455, Flemington (908) 806-2000.
