Strength is a key attribute many gym rats are trying to acquire but in my opinion people don’t respect strength enough.

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…
“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.
Sports performance training is focused on developing the needs of an athlete. To improve your sports performance on the field, on the court, or in the water, you’ll need to build up your conditioning, power, strength, speed, sport skill, and mental fortitude, amongst others.

Optimum recovery is key for any fitness enthusiast from an Olympic weightlifter, crossfit athlete, football player, general fitness, runner etc… Recovery from a previous workout not only gets you feeling refreshed quicker but allows you train harder sooner.

"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."

"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!”
