Fusion Performance Training

Fusion Performance Training is an offshoot of The Sports Center, Austin’s premier Physical Therapy spot. It is a locally based fitness and lifestyle Internet site run by master PTs with whom you can have personal training sessions.
Fusion is very intelligently thought through. Every drill is designed to work almost every part of your body. But the secret sauce is in the way the drills are purposefully combined into routines. Almost every other fitness website will give you drills but not tell you how to put them together! I guess you get what you pay for. No wonder they sometimes call it muscle confusion! Fusion’s big innovation is that if you combine the right drills in the right sequences the results come very efficiently. And this is important for me because my family and 10+hour work days always come first. Fitness and health need to fit into whatever time is left over.
Fusion simply works. During 25 years of flailing around using other methods, I was never able to bench press my weight. Some people care a lot about that as a metric of strength. I used to and I worked hard with free weights. I tell you this for 2 reasons: there is obviously a «before and after» story here, but also a discussion in how most fitness companies select their client testimonials. They always choose people who were «athletes in high school but let it all go». Think about it: there is a strong disposition for these people to respond well because of who they are and what they have done. On the other hand, I have NEVER been able to do ANYTHING impressive physically. Who dealt me that hand? But when I got away from the bench this year and did Fusion the missing strength showed up and then some. I can now press my weight without having worked specifically at it. OK, so who cares? Well, I don’t have to ask my wife to open jars any more. THAT means something! And also, as the parent of a young child, I can tell you that my improved strength, endurance and mobility, particularly in the core, are easily put to the test every day in very meaningful ways. I can simply do a lot more in day to day life than I could prior to Fusion. I believe this is directly the result of the routine designs. I’ve never seen anything else like it.
Fusion works, part Deux!: In one year I’ve managed to undo 25 years of damage to my body. We’re talking about going from a waist size of 29 inches to 36 inches and back to 29 again. My muscles have definition now and, apparently, veins too. Unfortunately, the money I saved by doing Fusion in lieu of hiring an Olympic Trainer, has all been spent on new clothing, but that’s another story. So yeah, I get a lot more attention everywhere: positive from girls and sometimes negative from guys (yes, it’s strange); but I must add that Fusion is not all about looks. There is serious impact that Fusion has on general health markers too. During my year of Fusion, my LDL cholesterol dropped from 130 to 100. Triglycerides from 97 to 67 and HDL (the good stuff) up from 54 to 64. These changes mean that there is less damage on the inside of my body. The insides are healing as the outside is strengthening. Nothing else I’ve tried has ever had this sort of a reversal effect on me.
It’s totally safe: During those 25 years of being my own coach, I was plagued by injury upon injury: shoulder impingement, osteoarthritis in the knees and tendinitis in almost every other joint. And watching what some young trainers do to their clients at gyms, it’s no wonder why! I have been completely injury free this year specifically due to the design of Fusion which eliminates several dangerous drills that I can almost guarantee you are doing now and replaces them with much more effective training. Because Fusion is a guided program and the drills are filmed so specifically and annotated so well, it takes all of the guess work out of your training. And because the owner, Doug Kelsey is a master Physical Therapist, he has an insight into how to heal the body in a way that a Physical Trainer simply may not. That trickles down into safety and longevity.
Beyond all that, there is a wealth of knowledge built into the program and available on the website. Some for free and some for a nominal fee. Based on my results, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
I use the web service as well as meet with the team in person on occasion. I highly recommend them for your fitness needs.
