WHAT’S NEW . . .
50 SHADES OF FITNESS – A special program presented by Hillarie Scannelli: Do you need some motivation to set and reach your fitness goals? Do you keep saying you would like to decrease bodyfat and improve energy levels to get in the best shape of your life . . . yet obstacles and barriers keep popping up and you find yourself putting your hopes and dreams on the back-burner? Let me help you! As many of you know, I just had a birthday on July 30th, and I turned 49. Yeah, yeah, I know it is “just” a number, but it really hit home for me because since my husband (Michael) and I opened !MPACT Training 18 months ago, I’ve had nothing but OBSTACLES AND BARRIERS popping up which are preventing me from reaching my own fitness goals. I’m not complaining by any stretch of the imagination. I couldn’t feel any more blessed that God keeps sending new clients to us every week. I know that all our hard work to bring something different to Hillsborough has been paying off. We are transforming bodies and changing people’s lives – it’s awesome! However, I don’t think I could have ever prepared myself for the amount of hours it takes to run a 4800 square-foot training facility. So with spending less time on working out and “sometimes” not being prepared with the proper foods, I found my body changing a bit – just not looking quite as good as I did a year ago, and I also feel that my energy levels are suffering. So I wanted to inspire others and ask them to join me on my journey into my 50th Birthday! This new program “50 Shades of Fitness”is rolling out onSeptember 16th. I figured I would give everyone time to recover from all the summertime fun at the beach – and get the kids settled and back into school. You can start this program any time between now and July 30th. . . but the earlier you start, the better your chances to get that body you have always wanted. decreasing bodyfat and increasing lean muscle mass is a “process”. It doesn’t happen overnight. So give this program the time it needs – get started as soon as you can! If you wish to become a member, you will need to fill out an enrollment form so I will know all about you! If you would like to know exactly what to expect from this membership or have questions or want pricing, email: [email protected]

CLIENT HIGHLIGHTS
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: Stacy Bisco
Stacy (pictured above) started training with us at !MPACT back in April. Her goal wasn’t necessarily to lose a lot of weight, however, she wanted to build some lean muscle, decrease bodyfat a bit, and get stronger. She started personal training two days per week, and then moved into our Total Development Bootcamps along with our POWER & Strength training sessions every week. By the middle of June Stacy reached her goal — looking her best for her friend’s wedding and her annual trip to St. Thomas. It’s always nice to have something to look forward to . . . set some goals, and then work hard to reach them. Stacy did just that . . . in fact, when she went to St. Thomas, she sent us a picture the beautiful view from her room – along with a copy of her “TAKE-IT-ON-THE ROAD WORKOUT” that !MPACT gives to all their clients so they can stay fit on vacation. They don’t need ANY equipment – just their bodies! Thank-you, Stace for being a great role model for other clients at !MPACT.
Name of Client: Kate Mahr
Weight before the birth of her baby: 124 . . . Weight after giving birth: 166
Weight 20 weeks after giving birth: 125!!! She’s only got 1 pound to go!
Kate (pictured above) is the sister-in-law to two of our favorite clients, Leigh & Niles Johnson. After Kate had her baby, Leigh & Niles knew she would love the motivation from !MPACT. Upon their recommendation, Kate’s husband, Jay, purchased a 10-Pack of Personal Training sessions as a gift to get her started on her fitness plan. It is so awesome when family provides support for a new mom. Kate also came for a one-on-one nutritional counseling session so she could ensure she was on track for success. Busy new moms often don’t eat enough – or what they choose to eat might not be the healthiest choice since they are grabbing things in a hurry or under duress. Here is how Kate described how she felt after having her beautiful daughter, Myla: I was really feeling pretty low, dealing with the stress of being a new mom. The hormones made me both crazy and emotional. This, along with the unfamiliar body I was in, just made me feel bad about myself. While my new baby and my husband brought me so much happiness, I didn’t feel like myself, and that affected everything. I started feeling much better once I started to get my fitness level up and monitored my diet (sometimes) – then losing the weight was a bonus. Your friends at !MPACT Training are VERY proud of you. Not only did you lose the weight to regain your pre-baby body, but you’ve moved into our Total Development Bootcamps (group training) and are more fit than ever. Your smile and positive attitude are a breath of fresh air. We are so happy we are part of your fitness journey, and love having you as one of our clients. Thank you for allowing us to share your story. There may be other new moms out there who could use an encouraging story . . . and this is a good one!! THANKS!
MORE ON OTHER !MPACT “PAY-IT-FORWARD” EVENTS:
TRENTON BACK-PACK CHALLENGE:
BACKPACK CHALLENGE: Many thanks to the kids who came to help us “Pay-It-Forward” . . . Through donations from our clients along with !MPACT Training kicking in for the rest of the supplies, we were able to make up 20 backpacks FILLED with school supplies, toiletries and other goodies to brighten their day. A representative from DYFS came to !MPACT to pick them up, and these backpacks will be distributed to foster children throughout New Jersey. Foster kids get bounced around sometimes from home to home, and it made us feel so good to give them brand new school supplies for the coming school year. And it was nice to have children from our own community assembling the back-packs so they felt a part of the process. Just trying to make a “small” difference in the life of a child, and it is important to teach our kids to Pay-it-Forward too!
BACKPACK FOR ONE OF OUR OWN: !MPACT Training was really excited to meet one of the recipients, right from our own neighborhood, who was given a fully-assembled backpack & Staples gift card. This backpack went to a local boy named Stephen Wurst, who is going into his junior year at Hillsborough High School. To give you some background on why this amazing young man needed our help . . . In 2009, Stephen’s mom (Laurie) lost her battle to breast cancer a week shy of her 34th birthday. In honor of his mother, Stephen continued to try to raise funds for “Laurie’s Legacy” which would support those receiving treatment at the Steeplechase Cancer Center. Stephen met with Courtney and Mike Newman, founders of Steps Together (a local charity dedicated to inspiring our community to paying their blessings forward and supporting families facing a medical crisis) to talk about being a possible beneficiary through their organization. Stephen and his Grandmother, Donna, wanted to see if they could unite their fundraising efforts with Steps Together. Steps Together was able help to raise additional funds for “Laurie’s Legacy” and help so many, and during this process, Stephen and his grandmother developed a wonderful friendship with the Newman’s. Then just last month, an electrical fire at Donna’s townhouse, left Stephen and Donna displaced for three to four months. According to the Hillsborough Beacon, the fire destroyed nearly all of the mementos Stephen had been given by his mother, including many of the last birthday and Christmas presents she had given him. Stephen said he felt like he lost her all over again. That is when Steps Together STEPPED right back in to help Stephen. When we heard this news on Facebook, !MPACT Training reached out to Steps Together to say we wanted to be the ones to purchase a backpack and necessary school items for Stephen. This would be one less thing he had to worry about. We were so delighted when Stephen and his grandmother, Donna, stopped in to thank us. Paying it forward always feels so good. We’re going to stay in touch with Stephen and Donna as they work hard to rebuild a home and their lives.
FREE TRAINING . . . Another way to Pay-it-Forward . . .
It is always nice to surprise someone with a gift or act of kindness . . . We decided that in addition to offering a $50 gift certificate every month to someone who entered our website drawing, we would also choose a child who would receive a FREE week at our upcoming Sports Games Camp. We are delighted to present that gift to Faith Skavron, and we are really excited she is coming! Faith is really special to our !MPACT family, as are the memories of her mom, Rose Skavron. We miss you, Rose, and we want you to know we will honor you by keeping tabs on Faith. We want her to come to !MPACT on a regular basis to train and have fun with us. Fitness was so important to you and Bob, and we are sure this is something you would want us to do.
!MPACT TRAINING & STEPS TOGETHER . . . Since we are big fans of Steps Together, and they are uniting efforts to promote the upcoming Steeplechase Distance/WalkRun on September 29th (here in Hillsborough), !MPACT is getting a team together to participate. Don’t want to walk or run it alone . . . come and be part of our team! We’ll have a blast – and we will be doing it for a great cause. If you are part of Team !MPACT, all of your donations will still go directly to Steps Together, and you will still need to go to their website to officially register. If you would like to be on TEAM !MPACT, just send an email to: [email protected]. You will meet us at the race (at Amsterdam school) an hour or so before the race starts for a complimentary picnic/breakfast (quick bite to eat) prior to the start of the race. !MPACT will serve some bagels and healthy breakfast treats for being on our team and for supporting Steps Together – and it is more fun to do it with a group or team. We’ll tell you how to register, and we will add you to the distribution list for all emails pertaining to the event. So contact Michael via email address (above) and we’ll get you started by providing all the details you need about the race. Just to give you some background: The Steeplechase Race, which supports the nearby Cancer Center, is based in Hillsborough and is one of the fastest growing road races in New Jersey. The race offers a variety of events including a 5K Walk (with a 2-mile option), 5K Run, 10K Run and Childrens’ Sprints. Steps Together is a local charity dedicated to inspiring our community to paying their blessings forward and supporting families facing a medical crisis. Come and help PAY-IT-FORWARD! If you have questions about this race:
TEAM !MPACT — ZMUD RACE – LAST WEEKEND:
The ZMud Race took place on Saturday, August 24th, and it is a great fundraiser for the children in Haiti. Sometimes when we can’t actually participate in a fundraising event, it is nice to help out in another way . . . !MPACT Training donated T-Shirts to TEAM !MPACT. Here they are in the phots below with nice clean shirts before the race . . . And then a picture of some of the mud-runners afterwards! Hey, you can’t read the !MPACT shirts with all that mud! LOL!

You can brighten someone’s day just by paying for the car behind you.

Ya never know who might be in front of you at the drive in . . . Maybe it is us!!

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!
