Choosing a gym in NYC is a difficult task to take on, especially since there are so many gyms to choose from. Being a personal trainer in Manhattan, I figured I’d give you a little inside scoop and hopefully help you narrow down your selection. So let’s jump into it.
Lately I’ve been getting a lot of calls from athletes asking specifically for Olympic weightlifting training. They believe that focusing specifically on becoming better at the Olympic lifts (snatch, clean, and jerk) will help them become stronger, explosive, and better overall athletes. That in itself is the problem with the fitness industry, many uneducated NYC personal trainers and performance coaches see a sport and think that just because the athletes in that respective sport are explosive that they should train just like them…
Want glutes? Don’t do this :p Seriously hit the gym & train hard.
Squats are now the big fitness fad, it’s become so absurd that uneducated personal trainers and fitness enthusiast think that squats cure everything….apparently now a days to get strong you have to squat, to get a butt you have to squat, to be anything you NEED to squat. It’s become such a fitness fad that everyone is trying to squat, even if they aren’t [Read more…]
Keeping your knee healthy is extremely important for everyone, not just sport athletes and weightlifters. We need our knee for everyday use, especially for us New Yorkers! People in New York City average around 2+ miles of walking a day. And in-home personal trainers probably average about 5 miles :p. So if you have knee issues, it’s not easy to just “fuggedaboutit” :p
“When you are passionate, you always have your destination in sight and you are not distracted by obstacles. Because you love what you are pursuing, things like rejection and setbacks will not hinder you in your pursuit. You believe that nothing can stop you!”
One of the biggest signs of a great coach is one that can get results despite the lack of equipment and space. Being a personal trainer in NYC, we’re constantly battling for space and figure out efficient ways to elicit results.
I’ve talked a lot of about weight loss and strength training, so I thought I’d switch gears and talk about weight gain for hard gainers. If you’re not sure what a “Hard Gainer” is, it’s those that are having trouble trying to pack on some mass and maintain it.
Most may think that you just need to pack on the calories by heading to McDonalds and “eating [Read more…]
"In 7 weeks, my over all strength and power has increased significantly! My broad jump increased 5", bench press 15lbs, squat 40lbs, power clean 15kilos, but most of all my times on my conditioning and speed tests DRAMATICALLY dropped! Fusion's programs were very well thought out and adjusted depending on how the guys were doing. If you want results, go to Fusion!"

They're lots of trainers and programs out there offering sports performance training, many of which are misleading, questionable, and unscientific. If you're looking to cut through all the "BS" and find something that will really work for you. I would thoroughly recommend Chris Matsui to anyone. From beginning to advanced athletes, Chris' coaching will provide you with the guidance to get the results you want without all the gimmicks."
Angel R. MA CSCS
Wrestling and Performance Coach
"If you're looking for professional, reliable trainers, Fusion is the way to go. They don't just randomly do a workout, they really focus on what you want and need. I was a little hesitant at first of hiring a trainer at first but Chris had a keen sense of the level of intensity I needed and wanted to be at, and it was just right! I couldn't say enough good things about Fusion."
Shannon M.

"Fusion made weight-loss a lifestyle change that is simple and easy to do. They really focused on a step-by-step approach that fits my schedule and routine. I've been so happy working with Fusion trainers and my results!"

"In a field that has many but few quality Coaches, I'm grateful to have met Coach Chris. He is extremely detailed and focused on developing the team based on quality movements, building a strong base, and keeping a supportive and competitive team atmosphere. With great Coaching and leadership, Team Fusion Weightlifting is developing into a powerful name and I'm proud to be the captain of the team."
Alex G.
Captain of Fusion Weightlifting Tea
"Being 68 years young and having gone through multiple knee and hip surgeries, I knew that staying active was going to be key for me. Chris had recommended me to try the Fusion Regeneration Process, and WOW! This was unlike any other warm up or stretching routine, I've been through. The only word I can think of is 'released', my hips, back, legs, everything just felt 'released'. "
Josh A.
Lawyer and Tennis Player
"As a marketing executive in New York city, my work schedule demands a lot of my time so when searching for a trainer they had to not only be good but he flexible. Chris at Fusion Performance Training is just that. Not only do I feel and look better than ever before, my work was not compromised."
Jake
“Who would of thought that you could make such a big impact, so far away? Fusion’s online workout program pushed me to the next level; they were spot with everything from catering the diet, workout, and active rest for me. I tore both my ACL’s and after working with Fusion I feel like I can play basketball again! I can’t wait to get back to NYC and train with the Fusion!”
