Spartan Race SGX Preseason Coaching Going on at Impact

Impact Functional and Sports Training at 505 Boston Post Rd in Sudbury, MA is launching a new obstacle race training class this February. Classes are offered for all ages. The next Spartan Race in Massachusetts is slated for June 17th-18th, 2017

During each class, our Spartan Athletes will participate in a dynamic warm up, learning about foundational movements followed by a fun and engaging training session teaching about techniques and movement flows that will help them through any obstacle, the ones on the course and off.

Impact Functional and Sports Training is embarking on training clients in the fastest growing sports in the world; obstacle course racing. By partnering with Spartan Race, one of the leading OCR companies to date, Impact Functional and Sports Training will be on the forefront of the areas racing community. “OCR changes peoples lives and makes them realize their deeper potential” says Anthony Passamonte, co-owner of Impact and an SGX coach.

As of 2010 there were approximately 50,000 participants in this new sport, and by 2013 the number of obstacle racers jumped to over 3 million. Training for obstacle races is increasingly popular, with Men's Fitness saying that training for the sport is a top fitness trend.

Impact has been running classes with their current members for the last three months and is now driving on building the community to a bigger audience and opening their doors to OCR enthusiast. “The community is going to love Spartan SGX training. It may seem intimidating, but once you see how you progress through the weeks, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish” boasts Alison Corwin, Impact SGX coach.

“I never thought I could climb a rope or jump over a 6 foot wall, but after the training and accomplishing my first Spartan race at Fenway park, I am addicted” says Debbie Johnson Impact member and SGX client.

“I have always worked hard in my training, but this brought my level of fitness to a whole new stage. My mental toughness and grit has never been stronger, I owe it all to Impact Spartan SGX training” says Cheryl Boland, Impact member and SGX client.

Spartan SGX is the official training program of Spartan Race. With its focus on functional body weight exercises, the program is intended to prepare anyone for an obstacle race, or just to improve overall fitness. Spartan SGX is distinguished by its “periodized” programming and holistic approach to improved health, which takes into account people’s behavior outside of the gym and builds mental, as well as physical, resilience and strength.

Spartan defines “periodization” as “planned variation in volume, intensity and exercise specificity.” In simple terms, a periodized program has a pre-determined plan behind it intended to lead to steady improvements in physical performance. The program has spread worldwide since the first certification workshop, in 2012.

Impact Functional Sports Training is in complete synch with Spartan Race’s philosophy and values. In a world that is struggling to find accountability, consistency and mental grit, Impact and Spartan SGX bring together a training system that expands on both.

Anyone is welcome to join a free trial of the new obstacle training class and are encouraged to sign up for the upcoming programs Impact is offering. Youth to Adults are welcome and registration for their February preseason training programs are going on now.
