Wayside Athletic Club, a fixture in Metro West for nearly forty years, announced that they purchased Impact Functional & Sports Training of Sudbury. The acquisition, which was completed earlier this year, immediately enhanced the design and equipment of Wayside’s fitness floor, expanded their personal training department with a team of nationally certified trainers, and integrated Impact’s innovative fitness programs into Wayside’s calendar including the “28 Day Challenge,” which has been highly received with outstanding results.
Forty-five participants took part in the first “28 Day Challenge,” cumulatively losing over 480 pounds and 270 inches. The program provided the support each participant needed to quickly lose ten or more pounds safely and effectively and to stay on track after the Challenge. The second Challenge is currently in process with a 3rd scheduled to begin on January 11th. To learn more about the “28 Day Challenge,” visit https://www.waysideathleticclub.com/28day/
“We are absolutely thrilled with the positive effect Impact has had on our club in such a short period of time,” commented Brian Lynch, Director of Member Experience, Wayside Athletic Club. He added, “The new, multi-purpose equipment coupled with great trainers and programs as well as the improved lay-out of our fitness center provides greater flexibility for all of our members to build their own blueprint for maximizing their body’s performance.”
The wide-array of state-of-the-art equipment that has been added to the Wayside Athletic Club includes:
