FUSION FITNESS STUDIO is a unique private fitness
facility specializing in customized fitness solutions

No two people are alike..each is unique. Your fitness program should be as unique as you are. That is why our exercise programs revolve around you. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to FUSON's exercise philosophy.

Custom-Designed Fitness

At FUSION FITNESS STUDIO, your program will be custom-designed based on your individual needs, lifestyle and goals. Whatever your current fitness level may be, we will develop a plan to meet your specific fitness needs and work with you on a one-on-one basis to maximize your results.

Program design begins with a private consultation which includes a review of your health and exercise history along with your individual body-structure. This will help us determine your base-line program by looking at the following:

  1. Your muscular strength and endurance, core strength & stability, flexibility, coordination, ranges of motion and overall exercise capacity.
  2. Any muscular imbalances and compensations that may be present within your structure and analyze their affect on your joints, muscles and overall body movements.

A Return to the Original: Functional Exercise
Aren't familiar with functional exercise? Here's a quick crash-course:

  1. Functional exercise is the original method of exercise that is centuries old.   
  2. Functional exercises train movements vs. individual body parts.   
  3. Functional exercises work the large muscle groups like chest, back, legs along with all the deeper, supporting muscles that allow your body to move, push, pull, bend, twist, squat, lunge, lift and reach.
  4. Functional workouts make very efficient use of time by working strength, cardio, flexibility, balance, core and endurance all within the same workout leading to quicker and more complete results.  

 

College of the City of New York – 1927

If all gyms used to look like this…..why did they change?

For centuries, physical trainers only taught total-body movement-based functional exercise.  So when the first gymnasiums opened in the 1800’s, that’s the method gyms were designed teach.  Training was also personalized to each individual.     

Take a look at any pictures of what original gyms used to look like.  They ALL looked the same.  Just like the picture above. 

Very different from how gyms today look, right? 

What happened?  Why did it all change?

Simple.  People got caught up with all the bells and whistles and quickly traded substance, for a bunch of shiny machines.  The time-proven original method of exercise was discarded.   And the approach of personalizing exercise training to each individual was forgotten about.          

Fusion Fitness Studio – 2007

FUSION is like a throwback to the original, but with a 21st Century twist.  We’ve returned to the original methods, but “fused” them with present-day knowledge and technology. 

Total-body movement-based functional exercise still works better than anything else out there today.  And when you combine it with today’s science, put the personal attention back in – personalizing the approach to fit the needs of each individual – you have a combination that is very hard to beat. 

Come in and try it for yourself….you’ll become a believer fast!

Read what these respected health & fitness professionals have to say about Fernando… 

"Fernando's knowledge of functional training is superior.  Whether you are looking to lose a few pounds or get yourself in better shape, his understanding of how to work the entire body will get the results you are looking for."

Todd Wiley
Top Multisport Coach/ Elite Triathlete


“I'm one of those people who has to exercise to stay fit - my genetics unfortunately are against me. I've had 2 ACL replacements in one knee from ski injuries, and have a herniated lumbar disc and degenerative arthritis in my neck. 

As a physician, I want to make sure that whoever is helping keep me in shape understands MY body.  I always feel better after working out with Fernando.  He knows how to keep me in shape without stressing injured parts of my body and has made me more functional.

Fernando is the "real deal" - with a broad knowledge of anatomy, exercise physiology, and nutrition that can synthesize these into a custom package to keep anyone healthy, active, and in shape.”

Rick Patt, MD
President, RadMD


“Fernando's exercise methods have helped me and I feel that anyone with lower-back or any kind of joint problem should listen to what he has to say. 

His scope of knowledge goes beyond just functional exercise training.  Very few fitness professionals have his broad expertise in the area of nutrition.  As a clinical nutritionist I am always impressed with the ideas he presents to his clients concerning their food programs.  He is an all-around fitness professional that can help anyone and has my complete respect.”

Phil Pappas, PhD, Nutrition
Institute of Weight Management and Health


“Fernando’s level of expertise is not found in any other trainer in the Philadelphia /Bucks region.  He doesn't just have personal training clients; he has successful converts to a new and healthier energy-filled lifestyle.”

Jim Hart
Top Philadelphia Fitness Trainer
Top 100 Trainer – Men’s Journal Magazine


“Paredes brings solid credentials, experience and boundless enthusiasm to his work.  But he also offers something more…empathy with people.”

Art Carey
The Philadelphia Inquirer


“In this era of over-hyped, pseudo “experts” giving you all sizzle and no steak, it's refreshing when you find a real expert in their field."

Joe Ferry
The Bucks County Herald  


Besides being a fitness & performance coach, Fernando is also a dynamic public speaker that has been invited to speak at various events.  One such event was PhillyFit Magazine’s Winter Wellness Retreat.  Fernando was one of many trainers and health, fitness professionals invited to teach at the 7-day event.

Here’s what the event organizer had to say about Fernando’s impact at the Retreat…

“Fernando is an over-the-top guy in so many ways, and we experienced that first hand at the 2nd Annual PhillyFIT Winter Retreat.

Our goal at the event it to expose attendees to many facets of exercise, nutrition and well being, in hopes that they find something they love and continue on the path using what they were introduced to.

Fernando single-handedly was the most well received workout seminar to date!

He was able to convert a couple of 'not so easy' candidates who were struggling for a life time trying to find some form of exercise they liked and believed in.  Fernando turned them around within one hour, and now these folks are passionate about what he taught them!  

I'd like to say it might be because the workout is so new and unique, but its not.  It was because of the delivery in which Fernando taught it to them.

He is inspirational, amazingly funny and brilliant.

His love and confidence in himself and everyone/everything around him is contagious, and we will always choose Fernando to do our 'grand finale' for any events we host in the future.

He is the cream of the crops, who rises to the top immediately.”

Jami Appenzeller-Yancey
