FLORHAM PARK — Randolph residents, Frank and Rosa Greenwaldt just introduced a high-tech “smart-gym” (which mainly relies on artificial intelligence vs. traditional equipment like weights, treadmills, etc.) to residents of the Madison, Chatham, Morristown, Randolph, Florham Park and Summit areas.
On September 19, the Greenwaldts opened their first location of The Exercise Coach at 186 Columbia Turnpike. This is the first such “Smart Gym” in the entire state of New Jersey. The couple anticipates opening a second location in 2020 in the Summit/Chatham area.
Outfitted with high-tech computerized machines instead of traditional equipment, the Exercise Coach offers highly personalized programs optimized for efficiency, resulting in only two 20-minute workouts per week that can’t be matched in effectiveness with even seven days a week of traditional activity-based exercise. The national franchise offers a unique, comprehensive approach to fitness designed to be the perfect fit for anyone, regardless of current fitness levels. The Exercise Coach combines bio-adaptive exercise technology with the guidance and encouragement of certified coaches. The studios create a dynamic exercise experience that blends personalized strength and interval cardio training in each session.
Rosa Greenwaldt’s background is in Accounting and Business and she will assist with the financials of their Exercise Coach business. Frank Greenwaldt background is in technology, but he has held positions in a variety of industries over the past 30 years.
Frank Greenwaldt said, “Though I thoroughly enjoyed my career, I have had a desire to be in a position to help people in a more personal manner. When I learned about The Exercise Coach, the platform seemed perfect; it makes fitness and the related health benefits not only possible, but sustainable, regardless of age.”
Currently, more than 120 million Americans say they “know they need exercise and wish they participated more.” The Exercise Coach uses its technology to capture the more reluctant exercise consumer — people who are either too busy to spend a great deal of time at the gym, dislike the gym scene and/or are afraid of injuring themselves. Rather than use their proprietary technology competing with other gyms to court the most athletic people, The Exercise Coach offers privacy, convenience, personalization, efficiency and guidance to change the quality of life for people who are less familiar with fitness successes.
Founded in 2000, The Exercise Coach began franchising in 2011 and currently has approximately 70 studios operating in 24 states. Our goal is to see 100+ units open and operating in the U.S. by 2021. In addition, The Exercise Coach began its international expansion in 2017, opening a showcase studio in Japan, with twenty locations there today and an additional 30-50 units planned there over the next five years.

PARSIPPANY — This low-rider lived in a home until he was surrendered to shelter in August. We are so happy to help this AMAZING senior find his forever home!
He weighs sixty pounds and is a big hunk of love. He is 100% house trained and is not destructive when left alone. Chester is happiest snoozing on the couch – and snoring!
He is super food/treat motivated and eager to please. Chester knows sit, come, leave it, wait, with me, and here–that big head is holding a big brain! He also loves to play fetch and go for walks.
Chester tends to be a strong puller on-leash, but he is working hard to correct that with his foster mama. He LOVES belly rubs and will often invite you to do so (see picture #2). Chester also loves being scratched on the neck.
His foster mama describes him as a very sweet boy and a good dog – easy!
If you’re looking to welcome a perfect, hunky senior into your home, look no further than Chester!

MORRIS COUNTY — Described by the Village Voice as more than a film, the documentary “Karl Marx City” will be the first of three presentations held at the Morris Museum’s Bickford Theatre by the County College of Morris (CCM) Legacy Project this academic year.
“Karl Marx City,” co-directed by the award-winning filmmaker Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker, “is a fascinating conversation about history itself, the very act of forgetting and the persistence of memory,” according to the Village Voice. The film explores the suicide of Epperlein’ father and the life of her family behind the Iron Curtain.
The documentary will be shown as part of this year’s Legacy Project series focusing on “War, Peace and Healing.”
Free and open to the public, “Karl Marx City,” followed by a Q&A with Epperlein, will be shown at the Morris Museum Bickford Theatre, on Friday, November 1, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. To guarantee seating, please RSVP to leagacy@ccm.edu. The Morris Museum is located at 6 Normandy Heights Road in Morristown.
The Legacy Project will offer two additional presentations at the Bickford Theatre in the spring. Specific dates have yet to be scheduled.
In March, poet Seema Reza, will introduce the documentary film, “We Are Not Done Yet,” and then participate in a discussion after the screening.
Directed by Sareen Hairabedian and produced by Jeffrey Wright (Emmy winner for HBO’s Angels in America and two-time Emmy nominee for HBO’s Westworld) and David Holbrooke (HBO’s The Diplomat), the film profiles a group of veterans and active-duty service members as they share their experiences and seek to combat their traumas in a United Service Organizations writing workshop.
The project was inspired by the writing workshops for veterans led by poet Reza, chair of Community Building Art Works, a charitable organization that develops arts programs for veterans and their communities.
In April, Eugenie Mukeshimana, a survivor of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, will give a lecture on “Surviving Genocide.” She will share her experiences, discuss forces in Rwanda that fomented the genocide, and educate listeners about the dangers of hatred, inflammatory language, violence and the dehumanization of others.

MORRIS COUNTY — William Schievella, the Democratic challenger for Morris County Sheriff in November’s elections, has announced a comprehensive community safety plan that recognizes that crime prevention involves community partnerships and will reposition the Sheriff’s Department as a resource for residents.
Initiatives include partnering with clergy to reduce violence against religious institutions and improve relationships between law enforcement and members of religious communities; establishing a narcotics enforcement unit to stop the flow of opioids into Morris County; establishing a School Safety Task Force comprised of school administrators, law enforcement members, mental health professionals, clergy and other stakeholders; improving training for law enforcement officers in dealing with persons with mental health issues with programs such as CIT used in other counties. The program also includes a dedicated animal abuse division and initiatives to protect seniors from fraud and improve retention and morale of Sheriff’s Officers.
“These initiatives are designed to strengthen our communities at their foundation by forming relationships between all stakeholders, including law enforcement, and addressing the issues that weaken our communities before they escalate into crime,” Schievella said. “Our current Sheriff’s department is stagnant and trapped in the past. We need new leadership, new ideas and modern law enforcement approaches if we are going to successfully meet the needs of Morris County,” he said.
THE PLAN COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS & OUTREACH
• Establish a permanent School Safety Task Force comprised of many school administrators, teacher’s, mental health professionals, clergy, elected officials, law enforcement and academic leaders to hold public hearings in different areas of the county seeking input from everyone.
• Create a Sheriff’s Clergy Program to implement community policing throughout Morris County.
• Create a Senior Citizen’s Academy to provide a comprehensive law enforcement program to prevent abuse and fraud
• Host quarterly job fairs at the correctional facility to help offenders returning to our neighborhoods obtain gainful employment
• Implement a free child car seat Installation program to help keep Morris County children safe
• Restore Hero for the Day Program for seriously ill children, a program I began when I was an Undersheriff
• Expand the hours and scope of the Sheriff’s Community Policing Outreach to meet the needs of Morris County’s diverse populations
ADDICTION & DRUG CRIME
• Increase partnerships with area hospitals to have medical personnel play a larger role in providing addiction services to those in need.
• Implement Law Enforcement Against Drugs (LEAD) in County Schools not currently providing this program. LEAD is the largest national evidenced based drug and violence prevention program making a difference in PREVENTING addiction
• Establish a narcotics unit to stop the flow of opioids into Morris County
IMPROVE OFFICER TRAINING AND SUPPORT • Implement Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) to reduce Use of Force incidents and assist law enforcement in dealing with persons with mental illness to deescalate volatile situations. This highly effective program is used in Bergen, Passaic, Essex and many other counties
• Seek accreditation for mental health services from the National Commission on Correctional Health Care for the Morris County Correctional Facility
• Create a working group to address poor retention of Sheriff’s Officers and on-going morale issues.
MODERN LAW ENFORCEMENT • Expand the current Sheriff’s Criminal Investigation Unit to create a true regional crime lab. This could raise revenue from neighboring counties and provide cutting edge technology to our law enforcement officers.
• Establish Unit to combat Animal Abuse
• Utilize Sheriff’s Office resources to support local law enforcement and the Park Police in fighting crime and stopping the flow of drugs into Morris County
• Create a volunteer group of retired law enforcement officers to expand community outreach and educational programs. This allows our retired officers to use expert training and experience to give back to the community while saving tax dollars
• Conduct a full audit of the Sheriff’s department’s budget and operations
