FREE POST-TURKEY DAY WORKOUT – FOR CLIENTS AND GUESTS!!  This will be a partner-style, multi-level bootcamp that will suit everyone!  Beginners will be offered variations, advanced fitness enthusiasts will be challenged, and fun music will be cranking to help make burning off all that stuffing and pie a little easier!  This session starts on Friday, November 27th at 8:30 a.m. and lasts an hour.  If you are new to !MPACT, just arrive 10 minutes early to fill out a short registration/waiver form — and bring your family and friends!  Again, this session is FREE for everyone (adults and teens 15+).

CALENDAR There are a few CHANGES, so please click here to take a look at our NOVEMBER GROUP TRAINING CALENDAR for adults, teens and kids.  There are some changes over Thanksgiving weekend, in addition to being closed on the evening of our Annual Holiday Vendor Boutique.  And a change to our Tuesday morning session that will begin at 8:00 a.m. instead of 9:30 a.m.  We also thought we would list the new sessions & descriptions for all of our training to see if anything PEAKS YOUR INTEREST . . . Don’t wait till the New Year to start exercising!  Here is what we are offering in November:

Bootcamp – Multi-Level: (Adults & Teens 15+):   We call it “Multi-Level” because we meet our clients where they are.  If they have been sedentary and are looking to ease back in, we offer plenty of variations to the exercises during this session.  Strong and advanced fitness enthusiasts will be challenged and pushed to reach their fitness goals.  These sessions burn fat and help to build muscle.  Participants will perform cardio drills along with strength training exercises using cutting-edge equipment like TRX, Kettlebells, Rip Trainers, medicine balls, bands, ropes & more!  We tell all our clients to “Train like athletes” because athletes are driven to succeed – and we incorporate functional training into these sessions so you are able to get into the best shape of your life WHILE REDUCING YOUR RISK OF INJURY.  Don’t let the word “bootcamp” intimidate you.  Let us change you MINDSET so that you set new fitness goals for yourself AND reach them!

!mpact Strength Training Class (Adults & Teens 13+):  If you are in need of incorporating more weight & resistance training into your weekly routine – along with some joint integrity work, this session is for YOU!  It is great for beginners or advanced fitness levels, since the trainer will demonstrate variations to exercises based on your fitness level.  In this session you will do a variety of weight-training exercises using dumbbells, TRX, kettlebells, weighted equipment, bands, etc. Trainers will provide guidance if a beginner is unsure of what weight to choose, how to perform the exercise, or how many repetitions to perform – and advanced fitness enthusiasts can be pushed and spotted accordingly.

POWER & STRENGTH(Adults & Teenagers 17+):  Although it is part of our Group Training calendar, weekly sign-ups are required (at no extra cost) – only 10 participants per training session.  In this session, you will perform power and strength exercises with weights (i.e., bench press, dead-lift, squats, etc – mixed with dumbbell exercises and weighted machines).  Perfect if you want to get stronger, build lean muscle mass or are training for sports.

Elite Athlete Training (ages 13-18):  This type of training will help your teenager improve their strength, speed, agility, balance, coordination and most of all confidence! The philosophy behind this type of training is geared towards helping them build strength and speed through a variety of traditional weight training exercises (free weights & machines) – plus functional exercises, weighted drills, explosive exercises and athletic drills.  Many Olympic and professional athletes are now training this way since it is proven to be extremely effective.  During this 50-minute workout they will use cutting-edge equipment – and our trainers will teach them proper running form and training techniques to help give them that competitive edge.  We also focus on JOINT INTEGRITY exercises which are proven to reduce the risk of injury.  We regularly network with physical therapists in order to create safe and effective workouts.

FIVE + ONE Training Session (Adults & Teens 15+):  This session is a great cross-train to the rest of your weekly routine.  There will be FIVE bodyweight or weight-bearing exercises, followed by ONE cardio-conditioning exercise to build endurance – and that’s how this session continues.  It’s a lot of fun, and a nice change of pace, pushing you to do more than you would do on your own.  All fitness levels welcome.

Plyometrics and Speed & Agility (Adults & Teens 13+):  Self-explanatory . . . We’ll help you run faster, jump higher and improve overall performance!  This is a great 30-minute conditioning class that also helps to build endurance.  Perfect for athletes or advanced fitness enthusiasts.

HIT (High Intensity Training – for Adults & Teens 13+):  This 30-minute cardio session is perfect for an athlete trying to build endurance or for any adult who wants to squeeze in a FUN 30-minute cardio session into their routine.  Weighted ropes, sled pushes, treadmill, bodyweight exercises and more!

KIDS’ Training: This is an awesome 45-minute training session for boys and girls ages 7-12.  They will work on age-appropriate strength & conditioning exercises, as well as speed, agility, balance & quickness.  They will use fun equipment during this session too!  If you have a 12-year old who is athletic, give us a call so we can evaluate him/her to see if they would be a better fit for the Elite Athlete Program (for ages 13+).

WHAT’S COMING UP AT !MPACT?

CHANGE YOUR MINDSET:  12-WEEK NUTRITION, TRAINING &  MINDSET PROGRAM BEING RELEASED IN JANUARY!  Not trying to rush things, but you will blink and the holidays will be upon us.  !MPACT Training wants you to start off 2016 WITHOUT the traditional crash dieting that many of us do.  Instead, we will be offering a 12-Week Program that not only includes nutrition and training – but also takes a look at your mindset to see if you might need to take on a different approach.  This new program will include 3 months of Unlimited Training, along with a nutrition package that includes diet tips, recipes, and week by week changes to make so you get the results you are looking for.  Let’s face it, you can train 4 or 5 days per week and eating somewhat healthy . . . but if you are still eating too many calories or processed foods, or skipping meals when you are busy, and binging too much on weekends — you are NOT going to get the results you are after.  So when you combine the personalized training we offer in a group setting, ALONG WITH an organized nutrition plan to follow for 12 weeks, and positive reinforcement plan for your MINDSET, you have all the necessary components you need to succeed. Our helpful staff will help you succeed!  Make 2016 the year that you take control of your life and make it even better!  TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM EVEN MORE EXCITING, we will offer prizes every month to the person who achieves the greatest weight loss (percentage of body weight).  These prizes will include items like FREE personal training sessions, Renaissance Salon or Revival Barber Shop Gift Certificates, Nutritional Supplements, Restaurant Gift Cards, Fitness equipment and MORE!  This 12-week program will be offered to our present clients as well as new clients who wish to sign up specifically for this 12-Week Program.  For info and pricing, please email:  [email protected]

 HILLARIE ANSWERS A READER’S QUESTION . . .

 

Dear Hillarie I saw that you randomly choose emails to respond to in your monthly newsletter.  OK so here is a question for you:  With the holiday season coming up, I find it very hard to stay true to my diet.  I don’t want to feel deprived or miss out on anything with my family and friends, all because I am trying to fit into that little black dress on New Year’s Eve.  Do you have any suggestions about how I can head into the holiday season and not worry about being heavier on the scale every Monday OR better yet, not fitting into anything nice on New Year’s Eve?  We have fun plans with old friends and I really want to look my best.  Regards, Denise M. (Neshanic)

Dear Denise: The first thing you have to ask yourself is “How badly do you want this?”  Are you looking for a quick fix? Or are you willing to make a few sacrifices to get the results you want.  You can follow a fad diet . . . Or you can join a gym or start taking new exercise classes . . . and if you are true to the program, it’s going to work.  It’s all part of your mindset – and it’s all part of a commitment you make to that program.  Of course I wouldn’t dare imply that you should deny yourself any fun, but if you goal is to decrease body-fat, lose a few pounds on the scale and improve energy levels & your overall health, then it’s best if you are NOT looking to cut corners using a quick 3-week program.  Let me give you some tips:  Start by making sure you don’t skip any meals – each day, you should have breakfast, lunch and dinner – and those meals should be a balance of proteins and carbs.  You should have a light snack in between those meals to regulate your blood-sugar levels which helps improve energy levels and also helps to decrease bodyfat.  These snacks should be low-calorie, high fiber snacks like raw veggies, a small handful of almonds or a small serving of fruit. Be sure to drink half your bodyweight in ounces of water each day.  This will help flush out fats, toxins and excess water/bloating.  And be sure to start incorporating some type of exercise, whether it be going for a power-walk or some type of training.  I would exercise at least 4-5 days per week for 30-60 minutes each session.  And I would try to get at least 7 hours of sleep each night.  Your body operates so much more efficiently when it gets a sufficient amount of sleep.  Lastly, when you have a fun night planned out with friends, make sure that is your cheat for the day.  Be super diligent on your diet plan leading up to dinner that night.  Then be sure to get right back on track the next day – no cheats.  Hope this helps . . . and it would be awesome if you started this program today so that you can head into the holidays feeling better.  Regards, Hillarie

SPIRIT WALL @ !MPACT:

We are very honored to display pictures of some of the athletes who train with us (either privately or through our Elite Athlete Program).  Last month we featured several of our high school and middle school athletes in our newsletter as well.  Here are a few more we’ve added to our Spirit Wall:  Olivia Johnsen, HHS JV Girls’ Lacrosse Team . . . Way to go Olivia!  We also added Evan Vadola, an amazing younger athlete (age 9), who plays for a very competitive travel ice hockey team.  This kid has been training with us for a few years and we couldn’t be prouder of how strong and fast he has gotten.  Congrats to all our athletes!  I will continue to highlight more every month!

Olivia Johnsen

Evan Vadola, Ice Hockey

 CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER:

CONGRATS MIKE AND CHRISTINE As you may have read in our previous newsletter our trainer, Mike Kelderman recently got engaged to Christine Murphy – who is also part of our !MPACT family as a client.  They set their date for July 1, 2016, and we couldn’t be happier they asked if they could shoot their engagement pictures at !MPACT Training.  They both have such a passion for fitness and working out . . . I’m really excited to share one of my favorite pictures from their photo shoot (see picture below).  So happy to be part of your journey, guys!

CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVE BARKER!  This guy was a one-man show . . . ventured off to enter the Spartan Beast by himself.  This race took place on September 19th in Killington, Vermont.  This is a high-level, challenging race that takes place in the ski mountains of Vermont.  In addition to running about 15 miles, there are numerous challenging obstacles too!  Great job, Dave!  When we see you working hard at bootcamp, it’s nice to know you put that practice to work out there in the real world!  We are very proud of you, pal!

CONGRATS TO LISA WICKEY – DOWN 22 pounds in 30 days I ran into Lisa at a Jr. Raiders football game when we were playing Watchung Hills . . . She use to work with my husband, Mike, and it was so great to see her.  We started talking and she mentioned she saw all the success stories on facebook with Nutritional Cleansing and wanted IN!  Congrats, Lisa . . . So happy you are loving this lifestyle change and released 22 pounds in 30 days!  Thank you for being disciplined, Lisa, and for making it happen, girl!

SO HAPPY FOR YOU, COLLEEN VINCHUR!  Colleen already had a great figure . . . but we all know we can be better — and it’s all a matter of how we FEEL.  Colleen wanted to lose a few pounds and increase energy levels.  Wish she would have let me share her before and after pictures cause she ROCKED this program.  Colleen lost 11 pounds and looks even more amazing!  Way to go, girl!

WAY TO SMOKE THE PROGRAM, ANDREA LEWIS & MIKE LEWIS Andrea is a personal training client of ours, and she became interested in Nutritional Cleansing after her brother, Mike Lewis (who also trains with us) lost 33 pounds on this program.  I’m really excited to report that Andrea lost 28 pounds in 30 days.  Not only does she look great, but it was so great when a friend didn’t even recognize her at Shop-Rite after her amazing transformation.  She looks fabulous, and is still continuing her journey!  Congrats, Andrea AND Mike!

NICE JOB KAREN MORETTI I met Karen through Steps Together, and was very happy she wanted to get started on a 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse.  So I’m thrilled to celebrate Karen’s success, since she probably needs to start shopping for some new fall clothes!  Karen lost 15.2 pounds, and has started working out at her company gym which is something she didn’t have enough energy to do before.  She’s taking it to the next level!  Stay inspired and congrats, Karen!

WAY TO GO JOY KELLY!  I know Joy from the town where I grew up (Union), and she thought she only had about 5 or 6 pounds she wanted to lose with a 30-Day Nutritional Cleanse.  Joy was doing it more for the health benefits and to improve her energy levels.  Well, she lost a total of 9 pounds on her program . . . and continued to lose 3 more while on the maintenance program.  Needless to say, decreasing visceral fat is a great way to improve energy levels!  She’s ready for the holiday season now, and looks fabulous.  Congratulations, Joy!

DAN SHARP ROCKING THE PROGRAM, AND IS ONLY ON DAY 20 Congrats to my high school friend, Dan, who lost 28 pounds as of day 24 on his Nutritional Cleansing Program!  Not only that, Dan has decided to join my team of coaches . . . a totally inspirational group of people who are excited to help others get healthier and fit.  And he’s looking forward to the compensation plan that will get his own products paid for – along with some extra cash!  I’m thrilled to have you on my team, Dan, and super excited with your results!

KEEP IT GOING, RICH D’AVANZO . . . Rich is another high school friend who jumped on the band wagon and wanted to get healthier through Nutritional Cleansing . . . As of day 13, he was down 13 pounds.  You rock Rich!  Please keep us posted!

NOTE FROM HILLARIE:

As the holiday season rolls in, this is just a reminder to be kind to your body.  The added stress we experience from holiday shopping, events with family & friends, finances relating to the extra spending during the holidays, etc. can leave us feeling sluggish and tired.  Couple that with eating on-the-go and enjoying too much food & spirits on the weekends, and it can prevent us from feeling our best.  Let’s take a more proactive approach to the holidays.  Let’s try to stay “present” so that we appreciate the family and friends we have been blessed with . . . Let’s try really hard not to sweat the small stuff . . . Let’s try to plan our meals, snacks and exercise so that we continue to treat our bodies well . . . and let’s pray for those who are less fortunate.  Have a great Thanksgiving!

Have a great day and a healthy month!  God Bless.

Hillarie
