"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!

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."

I couldn't say enough good things about Fusion."

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'. "

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.
