I didn’t get a chance to grab a picture with all of our athletes heading off to college—some had to leave early—so if I missed you, please let me know!

These are just a few of the incredible young people we’ve had the privilege of working with over the years who are now chasing their dreams in collegiate sports. One of my favorite parts about this is watching the younger athletes learn from them—seeing firsthand the difference between simply working out and truly training, and doing it in a way that lifts up and encourages everyone around them. It’s about striving for something bigger than yourself.

To all of you heading off to pursue your academic and athletic careers: best of luck. We are so proud of you. Thank you for being such strong role models for the next generation coming up behind you. I hope we’ve made as much of an impact on your lives as you’ve made on mine.

✨ 𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱! ✨

We’re excited to share that we’re now open at our new location: 𝟮𝟴𝟬𝟯 𝗪 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝘃𝗲, 𝗦𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝟲, 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this move possible — from the contractors who brought our renovation vision to life, to the helping hands who packed boxes, broke down equipment, and set up our new space. Thank you for helping us turn this dream into reality. This place is truly a labor of love and teamwork.

We can’t wait to welcome you in and share it with you!

You miss a workout, so the whole week feels “ruined.”
You eat one unplanned meal, so you give up on nutrition for the day.
Life gets busy, and instead of scaling back, you just stop altogether.

That’s the 𝗮𝗹𝗹-𝗼𝗿-𝗻𝗼𝗻𝗲 mindset — and it’s sneaky.
It makes you believe that perfection is the only path to progress.
But the truth? Progress is built on consistency, not perfection.

Some movement is better than none.
A decent meal is better than an all-out binge.
Half a workout is still forward motion.

At Impact, we call this the “s𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴” approach.

Consistency beats intensity — especially when life gets messy.
You don’t need to do it all.
You just need to keep doing something.

Ready to ditch the all-or-none mindset?

Sport-specific training has its place — especially as athletes get older and the performance demands of their sport become more refined.

Bu𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭y specialization?

That’s where things get tricky.

Focusing on one sport too soon can lead to overuse injuries, burnout, and missed opportunities for developing broader athletic skills. It often narrows an athlete’s range before they’ve built the strength, coordination, and durability to support that focus.

Young athletes don’t need more reps in one specific movement pattern.

They need a well-rounded base — one that supports performance in 𝘢𝘯𝘺 sport and sets them up for long-term success.

Before you specialize, build the athlete.

𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆.
A good day to take stock.
What worked this week? What didn’t?
What do you want more of next week?
Pause. Reflect. Adjust.
That’s how progress builds.

Some seasons, motivation is easy to find.
You're excited, locked in, and ready to go.

But other times?
You feel stuck. Tired. Uninspired.
You 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 what you want to do, but taking that first step feels… heavy.

That’s where 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 comes in.
Because motivation is a feeling — and feelings come and go.
But momentum? That’s something you can 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥.

It starts with one small step.
Not the perfect workout. Not the perfect meal.
Just 𝘰𝘯𝘦 choice that moves you in the right direction.

→ Go for a walk.
→ Drink water before coffee.
→ Set your clothes out the night before.
→ Do 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘧 of your workout instead of skipping it completely.

Each step feeds the next — and before long, you’re in motion again.

We see it all the time inside the gym:
Once someone builds a little momentum, their confidence grows.
They feel stronger. They show up more often.
They start believing in their ability to keep going — even on hard days.

𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵.
𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳.
𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗬𝗢𝗨.

If you’ve been feeling stuck lately, you don’t need a huge breakthrough.
You just need a place to start.

Ever have those days where you’re 𝘸𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵, and you can’t even figure out why?
Or notice you're getting a little more drained doing things that 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺?
It’s not just "getting older."
It’s that you’re 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 —
and the good news is, you can build it back (and then some)!
When you exercise, a few powerful things happen:
→ Your heart pumps more blood and oxygen to your muscles and brain.
→ You release feel-good chemicals like endorphins that boost your mood.
→ Your body becomes more efficient at creating and using energy.
This is why, even if you start a workout tired,
you 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱.
(Move just enough — not so hard you wipe yourself out —
and you'll usually leave feeling better than when you started.)
And the even better news?
𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.
Your "gas tank" gets bigger.
Daily tasks — like carrying groceries, playing with your kids, climbing the stairs — start to feel easier.
You have more energy left for the things you love.
Movement isn’t about draining yourself.
It’s about building yourself up —
so life feels lighter, stronger, and more enjoyable.
Start small. Stay steady. Build your capacity.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗪𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝗼)

At Impact Fitness, the 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 isn’t just about building strength — it's one of our favorite screening tools to help identify where your body might need a little extra attention.

When you train in the front rack position (think holding a barbell, dumbbells, or kettlebells at shoulder height with elbows up), you’re doing much more than it looks on the surface. The front rack demands good 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿, 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 — all critical pieces for moving and feeling your best.

If someone struggles to hit a proper front rack, it can quickly reveal:
- Tight lats or limited shoulder mobility
- Restricted wrists or forearms
- Weak or inactive core muscles
- Rounded upper back posture

That gives us (and you!) valuable information to build smarter, more individualized training.

→ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 helps improve shoulder mobility and stability.
→ 𝗖𝘂𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 in this position strengthens posture and protects the spine.
→ 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 early lets us customize mobility work to improve movement quality and achieve better overall results.

Even if you never plan to clean or front squat a barbell, mastering the front rack is a 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲-𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗺, 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵.

That kind of repetitive stress doesn’t have to lead to pain or setbacks.

At Impact, we take a proactive approach to help athletes stay strong, durable, and confident throughout the season by focusing on:
→ Strengthening the muscles that support and stabilize the knee
→ Improving movement mechanics to reduce unnecessary strain
→ Modifying exercises when needed to train safely
→ Build better warm-up, mobility and recovery habits

Because performance isn’t just about speed and strength — it’s about staying healthy and consistent over time.
