Power Crunch Bar
Being a personal trainer in NYC that travels all around Manhattan means that I’m ALWAYS on the go. I have limited time to sit down and eat especially during peak hours, which makes eating a sit-down meal pretty much impossible. This put me on the search to find a healthy replacement that was quick, wasn’t perishable, and minimal in surgars/carbs.
The personal training industry is expanding rapidly and with that expansion comes misinterpretation of fitness application. Just the other day I read a post about a sprint coach needing to help an athlete run a faster10m sprint to make a top level team. Unfortunately the coach only had 4 more days to train her and she was missing the marks by .05s on a consistent basis.

Being a personal trainer in NYC has me travelling all around Manhattan from client to client. It’s great because we get to experience what all the neighborhoods have to offer, from great coffee shops, food, gyms, etc… But getting from place to place can start to become a hassle, ESPECIALLY going cross town, pretty much every NYC personal trainers nightmare.

When you think of increasing your first step or overall speed, most people think of executing “fast movements”, such as sprinting. Now that’s partially true, but what if an athlete doesn’t fully extend and doesn’t know how to? Would you have the athlete go into a full speed sprint and yell “push back” or “fire your glutes!” You may, but its not going to do jack shit and just bad coaching 🙂
Yikes!
I talked about the dangers of the box jump and how we at Fusion Performance Training utilize the box jump here: Box Jump.
In short I believe too many personal trainers in NYC abuse the box [Read more…]
I’m a big fan of medicine ball drills for power. This week I’d like to go over the simple yet extremely effective exercise: “Medicine Ball Chest Pass”. Whether you’re a NYC personal trainer working with a general fat loss client to a sports performance coach working with an elite level athlete, this drill is useful across the board.
"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."

"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."

"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."

"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'. "

"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."

“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!”
