⭐ What Makes Us Different ⭐

 

Everything we do is built on proprietary systems — the Fusion Fitness & Performance™ Training System, the Core to Strength™ Method, and the Total Body Core Model™ — developed through decades of coaching, research, and refinement.

These methods blend:

  • Timeless physical culture

  • Modern movement science

  • Real-world biomechanics

…to help you move without pain, build authentic strength, and create change that lasts.

What follows isn’t marketing fluff — it’s the structure we’ve built over more than 30 years.

 
 

**1 — A Private Personal Training Studio

(Not a Gym)**

Training here feels nothing like a fitness center.

No crowds.

No chaos.

No waiting for equipment.

No distractions.

Just a clean, quiet, focused environment where your entire session is about you — your body, your progress, your goals.

Client Capacity Is Limited.

We intentionally cap how many clients we accept to preserve quality, attention, and results.

If we’re full, you’ll join our waitlist. No exceptions.

2 - Personalized Coaching, Built Around Your Body

People don’t all move the same — so we don’t train them the same.

Your program is tailored to:

  • your structure and alignment

  • your injury history

  • your mobility and stability patterns

  • your goals

  • your nervous system & recovery capacity

  • your lifestyle

This is not one-size-fits-all training.

This is precision coaching for your unique physiology — designed to restore balance, eliminate pain, and build the strong, capable body you want.

3 - Professional Trainers With Real Expertise

Our coaching team has:

  • decades of hands-on experience

  • nationally accredited certifications (NASM, NPTI)

  • deep continuing education in movement science, anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, and nutrition

You’re not working with a rep-counter.

You’re working with seasoned professionals who understand how to build a body that moves well and stays pain-free for life.

4 - Physical Culture: A Return to What Actually Works

Before machines, fads, and shortcuts… training was simple, intelligent, and total-body.

Physical Culture emphasized:

  • total body movement

  • open training space

  • functional tools (Indian clubs, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, ropes)

  • balanced, injury-resistant strength

Modern gyms traded wisdom for convenience.

Fusion Fitness Studio brings back the proven principles of Physical Culture — updated with biomechanics and modern science — because intelligent training never goes out of style.

5 - Gold Standard Movement Testing (FMS & More)

Better movement = better results.

We assess how your body moves — so your program is built on accuracy, not assumptions.

Using the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and additional assessments, we identify:

  • imbalances

  • limitations

  • asymmetries

  • inefficient patterns

Correcting these foundational issues helps you move better, stay pain-free, and progress faster.

6 - Our Proven, Proprietary Training System

In 2009, after 15 years of professional coaching and deep research into original physical culture, Fernando Paredes created the Fusion Fitness & Performance™ Training System and the Core-to-Strength™ Method.

These systems are built on one core truth:

Fix the core foundation first — then build authentic strength and performance from the inside out.

This approach delivers repeatable, measurable results for adults over 40, recovering from injury, or seeking higher performance.

No gimmicks.

No shortcuts.

Just intelligent, proven methods that work.

**7 — Authentic, Lasting Results

(Not Temporary. Not Trend-Based.)**

We don’t push your body into exhaustion or rely on pain-driven “high-intensity everything.”

We rebuild your body in a way that:

  • improves mobility

  • reduces pain

  • increases functional strength

  • enhances longevity

  • aligns with how your body is designed to move

Fusion Fitness Studio is a modern return to what training should have always been:

intelligent, personalized, foundational, and deeply effective.

Most clients feel the difference within their first session.

What the Experts Say..

 
Jami Appenzeller of PhillyFIT Magazine, recognizing Fusion Fitness Studio and Fernando Paredes for excellence in fitness and health coaching.

“Fernando is the cream of the crop…inspirational, amazingly funny and brilliant.”

Jami Appenzeller, Publisher, PhillyFIT Magazine

Dr. Phil Pappas, PhD nutritionist, speaking at a Fusion Fitness Studio workshop on health, nutrition, and functional wellness.

“His scope of knowledge goes far beyond exercise—his nutritional insight is unmatched.”

Dr. Phil Pappas, PhD, Clinical Nutritionist & Host, Mind Body Health Connection

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

    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.  

    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

    - Organizer PhillyFIT Wellness Retreat

  • “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.”
