In 2013 the New York City marathon had 50,266 total finishers. That’s a lot of runners! Take a look at the many parks Manhattan has to offer and you’ll see people running and jogging. So it’s safe to say that running is a very popular form of exercise in New York City and many other places. This increasing popularity is even more reason why strength training for runners should be widely accepted.
If you want to be at the top of your game, whether it be a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, or sports performance coach, you NEED to do an internship. Keep in mind that just doing an internship doesn’t equate to success, you clearly need to do your due diligence and make sure whoever you’re hoping to contact will help you succeed in the specific areas needed.

As a NYC personal trainer I’ve had the pleasure to work with many clients through their pregnancy and post-pregnancy to get them back to shape. In fact I vividly remember my first time training a client through her first pregnancy. I was very nervous and researched everything on the ACOG (American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) and was annoying the crap out of the OBGYN to ensure everything was within their guidelines :).
This pretty much sums up my post :p
Strength is a key attribute many gym rats are trying to acquire but in my opinion people don’t respect strength enough. Now I’m not talking about respect the positive effects of strength, I’m talking about respecting the acquisition of strength. Fitness marketing schemes and crappy personal trainers constantly promise fast results that they can’t deliver or if they do it’s by PED’s which is [Read more…]
Here at Fusion Performance Training, things are starting to get super busy with a number of new projects we’re working on. It’ll take some time but we’re pretty excited and hopefully we’ll be able to make a positive impact in the fitness field. With that said, during my downtime I try to stay up to date with quality training information, unfortunately in the over saturated and unqualified personal training field it’s hard to find. So I’m going to try to post articles or podcast that I’ve found to be very [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
"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."
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'. "

"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!”
