Our Charity Work out was a huge success! Over 200 people came out to meet and workout with fellow member Joe Flacco to raise money for St. John of God's 50^th anniversary. SJOG has been an integral part of many individuals and families lives throughout the country and even in our own facility. The workout raised about $3,800 for SJOG's mission to help others. Thank you all for your participation, generous donations and heartfelt encouragement to all participants involved. 

It was an extremely fun day filled with energy, smiles, high fives and excitement. A big shout out to Joe Flacco for donating his time for the workout and autographs. Also to the Krumm family for their diligence and support. Thanks to our coach and avid shutterbug, Kevin, for the great pictures above and many more can be found on the media page of our website.

Danielle, aka Dani on the lacrosse field, just completed her fourth year coaching the girl's Haddonfield High School Lacrosse team. As the assistant coach of the Junior Varsity (JV) team, they finished the season strong with a record of 15-3. The entire roster, including Varsity and JV, consisted of 27 field players. Dani's team made her proud being diligently focused and committed to success even with limited ability to make substitutions when tired. They were always focused and gave a 100% even when they were down a player on the field. Dani always has high expectations of them and always expects improvement each week because she knows they have the talent. Dani's goal as a coach is to get the girls prepared to play Varsity and to help them improve as an all-around athlete.

The Haddonfield Lacrosse team warms up just like we do here at Evolution Fitness with the Foam Rolling protocol and a Dynamic Warm Up. Having been low in players this year, they could not afford any injuries. With the introduction of these techniques in 2012, they eliminated many of the common sport injuries such as shin splints, quad, groin, hamstring pulls, and ankle sprains. It's great to see the techniques we apply at EvoFit working firsthand right on the lacrosse field. The key is to take the warm up protocol seriously which has really helped with injury prevention.

Danielle says "The best part about coaching is being a role model for female athletes. My role as a coach on and off the field is to empower them to be the best that they can be and encourage them to know that anything is possible. I enjoy getting to know each player personally, to see them improve each year and grow up as fine young women getting ready to move on to the next chapter of their lives. It brings me such joy and it's one of the reasons why I return each year" Danielle is looking forward to coaching the 2016 Lacrosse team with a strong freshman class coming in and to see the continued growth of the Haddonfield Lacrosse program.
