Pre Season Strength and Conditioning
A pre-season conditioning program is the key to the success in all athletics. We host a pre- season program for female athletes in several locations throughout the metropolitan DC area.
Impact Fitness DC has experience in collegiate, professional, and youth sports. Our programs are tailored to small groups and individual training. Not only will the female athletes become fit and less likely to suffer a non-contact injury, they will learn body awareness and how to take care of their bodies through exercise during this program. We hold it twice per week in 5 week cycles.
Our mission is to educate female athletes on agility, flexibility, endurance, and injury prevention in a fun and challenging environment.
We have 5 week sessions starting June 2010 in Reston. Contact us for pricing and scheduling.
Friday Strength Sessions are held 5pm every Friday in Reston
This is an on-going class that caters to the athletes muscle balance. Strength and flexibility training is used to decrease wear and tear onto the joints and prepare the athletes for upcoming games. Athletes will leave the session feeling strong and ready to play. This is an intermediate level class. Athletes interested in participating should have previous experience working with one of our trainers or strength training. $35 per session or save with our Fitness Packages.
Bumps and Bruises Workshop
When you decide to play a sport, one of the last things you think of is the possible injuries that might keep the athlete in the sideline or even stop them from playing all together. Our expertise can be used for injury and flexibility for the athletes during the season. Since most injuries occur in the middle or end of the season, a great value to your team would be to maintain their physical abilities. We have expertise in physical therapy, athletic training, and muscular tightness to evaluate your team and design an intervention. These clinics are designed for 1 to 3 sessions and are not conditioning sessions. We will focus on getting your athlete to peak condition when they need it the most.
Private or Duet Training
Working with one of our trainers is a great investment in your daughter’s future. We will ensure her success in sports by using our expertise, leading her to make good health decisions, and teaching her how to take care of her body with exercise. Our expertise in Biomechanics will give her the edge that she needs to excel. Training is available in Georgetown or Reston.
Each athlete will participate in an assessment. The Impact Fitness DC’s assessment includes:
1. Demographics- age, height, leg dominance, position played
2. Injury history evaluation
3. Specific joint stability evaluation
4. Sport specific fitness evaluation
5. Vertical jump Test

o Technique - this time emphasizes teaching technique and form objectively. The athlete will progress from this phase with mechanical control in the exercises.
o Performance Ready Stage- Each athlete will reach this phase healthy and strong. Reaching this phase will allow the athlete to perform multi directional exercises and movements with safety and efficiency
Testimonies
Our daughter Kira participates in duet and private training with Jenn. Kira plays on competitive soccer teams and had been experiencing tightness and overuse injuries until she was introduced to Jenn’s training. Jenn’s training has had a big impact for our daughter. Her exercises are personalized and it’s made a big difference in flexibility, strength and injury prevention. She really listens to what’s going on and does a great job of educating about the body. I would highly recommend Jenn’s personal training sessions.

Jennifer Schwartz of Impact FitnessDC recently ran an Injury Prevention Program for my daughter’s soccer team, the Braddock Road Youth Club (BRYC) U12 Girls. Our coaches thought it crucial to implement such a program, since female athletes of that age and older are much more prone to muscle, ligament and tendon problems, such as ACL injuries.
The training Jennifer ran for the team was invaluable. The girls performed muscle-strengthening exercises, exercises designed to warm the muscles before use, stabilizing exercises and drills that taught proper landing and cut and turn techniques - all key to preventing musculoskeletal problems in the future. Jennifer also personalized it for individual players by assessing each player’s balance, coordination and body mechanics and then worked on those specific areas of concern.
The best part was that the girls on the team had a blast. Jennifer and her partner Anna were charismatic, motivating and fun. We would definitely do it again!
