Analissa Jiminez- Testimonial

At Fusions 1 Year Fab Friday event, I was drenched in sweat sitting next to some pretty awesome girls chowing down on some pretty amazing cucumber sandwiches when I heard Shelli ask “would anyone like to come up and say anything?” I was so tempted to jump up but I didn’t want to ruin the moment because I knew I would bust out balling.

When I first heard of fusion it was located between Frankford & Milwaukee and I tried Zumba. I remember being so embarrassed because I couldn’t move and I had absolutely no rhythm. One thing that I will never forget is how nervous I was because I always felt so self conscious and embarrassed to work out in front of other people, but when I walked in Shelli was there and had the warmest, biggest smile and made me feel like I could conquer the world. I didn’t go back to Fusion for a while because I allowed life to get in the way; I had gained so much weight and was so miserable. In February 2011, I started a new job and was organizing my little office space and storage room, I suddenly became faint and dizzy and thought I was going to pass out. I was so embarrassed but told my co workers and headed straight to the ER. There the doctors took blood, did a MRI & Cat Scan. I was so scared when the doctor told me it could be a blood clot or heart problem because of my weight. He put me on a steroid and inhaler and nicely told me to watch my diet. I was so upset with myself and knew that I needed changes. I got on Facebook and saw everyone post updates about how they were excited to go “shake it @ hip hop” or “kick it out @ turbo kick” I decided to give it another shot.

After Turbo Kick, Zumba and Hip Hop, I was hooked, I decided to join weight watchers and enroll in Bikini Boot Camp. Since March 2011 I have lost over 23lbs, over 15 inches, threw away all medications including the inhaler and even plan to get Zumba certified in September. I walk better, talk better & sleep better!! I am currently in my second round of Boot Camp and on occasion my Fusion girls pull quadruple classes because we just cant get enough!! I am never looking back and I am so thankful for Shelli, Magen and all the instructors who maintain a professional but most of all encouraging atmosphere & welcome everyone with open arms. This is only the beginning of a life changing journey and I just cannot get enough of my Fusion family!!!

Bikini Boot Camp Testimonial- Rachel James

BBC... What can I say but Wow!! I still remember the day I signed up for round one, I was sick in bed with pneumonia with nothing to do but check Facebook and the Fusion Fitness comment came through about Bikini Boot Camp spots filling up fast , didn't know what it was but the name had such a cool sound to it I had to do it. Probably should have asked what time before I committed to 6 weeks! When Shelli told me 6am, I remember thinking... AM?!?!?!... Ick!! I decided though, ya know what? If you can make it through that you can do anything, I blame the pain killers for that can do attitude, LOL!
Best decision I ever made, I was so excited to get started that I picked out my outfit two days before (cause really ladies don't we work out better when we look and feel good)

First day and everyday since I am so glad I kept that commitment to myself. As women we don't like to disappoint others, I am glad I held myself to that same standard, cause really we are all worth it!
I knew I was gonna feel better what I didn't anticipate was the friendships I would make and boy have I made some great ones!! Nothing bond us better than pain and  misery (so kidding, sorta ;) )
I highly recommend BBC to anyone who wants to lose some inches, make some great friends, have an excuse to buy new shoes and clothes and generally just feel like "I am woman hear me roar!"


It's been one of the greatest, hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever done!

Updated Testimonial- Magen Reaves

Hey FuSion!

Well since my last testimonial blog (you can find under April) I have been teaching Turbo 3X a week, Bikini Boot Camp for 12 weeks, & taking additional classes wherever I can. I promised to update you so, here it is! Everyday I am determined to CHANGE, I do have those "slacker" days, BUT when it happens I try to make up for it!! My BIGGEST CHALLENGE is trying to realize I can NOT out train a BAD DIET! Mexican food IS and ALWAYS will be my weakness!! If I could eat better I would be getting quicker results BUT man do I LOVE food LOL My youngest turned ONE this past Saturday so, now that "I just had a baby excuse" seems to far for me. Time to hit it and hit it hard! Here is my progress...

Sept 2010 (Take it easy I had my baby in June LOL)

April 2011- (Have gone through a few hair colors as well)

June 2011-

Magen Reaves- Turbo Kick & Bikini Boot Camp

I heard about FuSion Fitness from a friend on Facebook. She had posted she was going to "Zumba" I messaged her asking, "What was a Zumba?" LOL I had never heard nor seen Zumba, I didn't even know Group Classes existed. After her explaining what a Zumba was I was totally interested. My first class I walked through the door and was greeted with 50 smiles! Everyone was SO friendly! I got my Zumba on and fell in LOVE with the concept of Group Classes and the fact I left drenched in sweat BUT with a SMILE on my face! I have never been a "gym" person SO this was a whole new world for me!!

I have a 2yr old daughter, Preslee, who you probably see running around the studio on a daily basis. My youngest, Blain just turned ONE :( After having my baby boy Blain I wanted to get into GREAT shape and show people that just because you are a mom doesn't mean it's all out the window! Moms can be hot and can be fit! After taking Zumba I started trying other classes, Zumba was fun but, I just couldn't Salsa like those girls LOL. I immediately fell in LOVE with Shellis Hip Hop & Kiss My Abs. I got to do cardio then tone, LOVED IT!! I had began taking classes late July. Early September I had heard FuSIon would be hosting a Certification for Hip Hop Hustle & Turbo Kick. I had never seen either one but, when I heard Hip Hop I was sold! If you got certified in both classes you got an amazing discount so, I went for it! I had never seen TK or even heard of it. I honestly went into the certification knowing "I will never use this"

After seeing the famous Ashlee Hamilton do TK I LOVED it but, did not for a second think it was something I would ever be able to teach!! A friend/co worker at the time, Nancy, got certified in TK as well and started teaching it the next week! I went to every single one of her classes from Sept- Nov. I was hooked on TK!! I had been attempting to teach Hip Hop and it just wasn't my thing, I was a better participant. After obsessing over TK I BEGGED Shelli to let me have a shot at it! I was on the schedule and have been since November as a TK Instructor!! TK & FuSion have my heart!! I have seen amazing results from TK and am proud to say I am walking proof with hard work and dedication IT WORKS!!! I have met some of the most amazing people through FuSion! I have never seen a place with so many women wanting to make a difference! There is no judging, FuSion is a FAMILY! I highly encourage everyone to check out FuSion! The hardest part is walking through the door, after that it's a walk in the park... well a very sweaty walk in the park :)

Back in March Shelli and myself got the idea of putting together a Boot Camp. We didn't want to just call it Boot Camp though, it had to be something FUN something CATCHY!! After many ideas we came up with BIKINI BOOT CAMP! No you don't work out in a Bikini and no you may not leave wearing that TWO PIECE from High School BUT I promise you you will leave MOTIVATED to do both!!! BBC is not an over night fix, it is a 6 week program set up to almost jump start the NEW & IMPROVED you!! We are here to help in anyway, we want to help in any and every way!!! We are always enrolling! Text/Call 786-7786 to reserve your spot today!!!

And as for me well I plan on teaching group classes til my day comes! I am getting certified in Body Pump soon so, be on the look out for some changes at the studio :) I am a proud momma of my 2yr old daughter and 1yr old son. I have been married for a year and have a shoe shopping problem! :) I love making a difference and hope to change MANY lives!!! Can't wait to meet you!!

Veronica Sanchez- Yoga & Pilates

My name is Veronica Sanchez and I am from Albuquerque, NM. I am a current graduate student at Texas Tech getting my masters in Counseling. I got started in yoga seven years ago when I started getting neck pains and back pain that would not go away. Medicine didn’t help and someone told me that I should try yoga. At first I was hesitant. I never thought that yoga would help. After my first class, I was hooked. It changed my entire life and ever since then I have wanted to pass on what I have learned to others. I am currently getting my RYT 200 hour certification. I also started to become interested in Pilates. I then decided to get my ASFA certification in teaching Pilates and now I teach both. I truly believe the two complement each other and great results happen from each of them. I have been teaching at the Rec center at Texas Tech for about two years. I have also taught at other local studios. I am always looking for a new opportunity and a new way to meet people. I am so excited for this new journey that I am about to go on and to pass on what I know to more people.

I have been happily married for twelve years to my dream man, I have three beautiful boys: Colby who is 9, Calem who is 7, and Cason who is 20 months!  You can always find me at one of my kids sporting events or teaching a Group Fitness class!  I first began teaching fitness classes that included kickboxing and step aerobics in 1998.  After graduating from college, I worked full time and then began having babies.  I returned in the fitness world in 2004 when I became Stroller Fit Associate Instructor Certified.  I increased my education with certifications and trainings over the years to include AFAA Group Fitness, BTS Group Power, BTS Group Centergy, Pilates-Body, Zumba, Zumbatomic, Turbo Kick, Hip Hop Hustle, & Aquatics Fitness.  I have taught free style and pre-choreographed classes and truly love what both style offer clients! I believe I am fulfilling Gods Mission by teaching women how to eat correctly, & enjoy working hard to be healthy so that in return they can be the best wives and mommies for their families!  Building a healthy, happy, strong, & confident body and mind is truly what I believe this "working out thing" is all about!!
