Did You Know…
For thousands of years (3500 B.C - 1950 A.D.) all exercise systems followed a holistic approach to health and fitness which emphasized total-body exercise?
In the 1800’s the term “Physical Culture” was coined to describe the traditional holistic, total-body exercise approach?
All gyms in the 1800’s - early 1900’s only taught total-body exercise with traditional tools: Indian clubs, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, cables & pulleys, medicine balls and ropes?
Around 1950, two things emerged that led to the unexpected demise of the original holistic, total-body exercise approach: exercise machines that isolated muscle groups and the discovery of steroids?
After 1950, this new “conventional” exercise industry was heavily influenced by exercise equipment manufacturers and steroid-using bodybuilders?
The conventional exercise approach only trains the large “showy” muscles of the body (10%) and ignores the other 90% of your muscles?
Conventional exercise programs are designed to only work for people with “textbook-perfect” bodies?
That since the 1970’s, there has been an exponential increase in people experiencing orthopedic problems like: low-back pain, shoulder, hip and knee injuries?

The conventional exercise industry has created
a host of physical problems because
they ignored our physical culture roots.
We developed a solution..
The fact is we still function the same as people did thousands of years ago. And there was a reason why the holistic, total body approach to human performance was the norm for thousands of years… it’s what works best for us and had a proven track record of success.
Plus, today’s scientific research has validated many of the methods used by ancient health and fitness systems and, in the process, given us more details about how the body works.
Our FUSION FITNESS & PERFORMANCE™ System continues the tradition of the original Physical Culture methods of the past and combined it with present-day science. It’s a complete A-Z health, fitness and performance system that delivers extraordinary results in a fraction of the usual time!
As with all the successful training systems of the past, our system looks at the human body as a whole. It addresses everything from breathing, digestion, proper rest, mindset and physical training in a balanced way for vibrant health and dynamic fitness and performance.
It’s a powerful best-of-both-worlds system you won't find anywhere else.
Original PHYSICAL CULTURE HIERARCHY:
• Health is always 1st – restoring and preparing the body for results
• Strength is 2nd – to be developed to enhance results
• Appearance is 3rd – which improved automatically as a result of attaining the previous two of the hierarchy: Health and Strength
Original PHYSICAL CULTURE PRINCIPLES:
• The Human Body is a dynamic living "machine"
• Total-body exercises are a must for authentic results
• Balanced physical development is the ultimate goal
• Fitness-for-Life: the focus is to create healthy habits, a strong, fit and energetic body to enhance quality of life, increase longevity and to become a better person.
CORE-TO-STRENGTH™ trains the body “from-the-inside-out”, building balanced total-body strength that solves all the problems created by conventional strength training. This means less aches, pains and injuries while increasing strength, flexibility and performance!
Core-to-Strength trains ALL muscles… not just the 10% of large “showy” muscles. Our exercises train the entire body: the 90% of smaller structural muscles along with the large muscles, all together. This creates balanced, all-around strength and structural support.
Core-to-Strength works for ALL bodies… not just bodies that have textbook-perfect responses. If something isn’t working, we can “troubleshoot” to identify the problem and make the needed adjustments to keep you moving forward. This allows for every body to exercise effectively.
Core-to-Strength works for ALL levels… not just those who have “super” genetics. Our program can adjust with multiple variations of exercises, stretches, routines and techniques that can match your fitness level. This makes success attainable for all.
PLUS Core-to-Strength is Saves Time… our workouts train multiple muscles and abilities: strength, flexibility, core, balance and endurance all at the same time! This taps into the power of synergy, allowing you to get more results in less time. (many of our clients tell us they get better results training an average of 30% less using our program, compared to what they were doing before)
Core-to-Strength has 3-stages of development. Each stage prepares you to advance to the next CTS level:
Weakened core. Restore the foundation.
Stronger core. Rebuild strength and skills.
Complete core. Develop total-body strength, skills and abilities.
Restoration, Fitness and Performance all in one workout system. Come in and try it for yourself… you’ll become a believer!
Our private exercise studio continues the tradition of the original gyms with open space for total-body exercise, personalized instruction and the proven tools-of-the-trade: Indian clubs, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, cables & pulleys, medicine balls, ropes, bands and more.
