FUSE Fitness

Riding the Jane Pain train again! I had taken a LONG hiatus starting with my pregnancy and continuing through my 2.5 year sabbatical from work. I had forgotten just what a great workout you get at FUSE! I am sore after each and every session, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s how it should be. I fully expect to start seeing results soon, and I can’t wait!

Training with Jane has been Awesome! I have improved my stamina and strength. Coming from an shoulder injury training Jiu-​Jitsu, Jane has helped me regained my shoulder strength. Jane has all the tools necessary to get you results! I feel excellent and am starting to see major results from the intense workout sessions. I definitely recommend training with Jane!

HIghly recommend the personal training.
Jane is tough but approachable and knows her stuff. If you appreciate and want a pro Jane is up for the job.
Make the most of your time and money. I keep coming back for a tune up and have worked with Jane for over 5 years now.
I set my son up for a special session for he and I on his 12^th birthday. He is a very active in competitive sports and no matter what we do the question always remains… was it as good as «Jane’s»? was it as tough as «Jane’s» and we always smile and say NO WAY!

If you are serious about getting in to shape, this is the place to come. I have only been coming here for three months and already I feel like I am in the best shape of my life!
Jane is an amazing trainer. There is no «routine» with her, every morning she has me do different workouts with a wide variety of equipment. The result is that I am always sore in weird places, but because my body never gets used to any one workout, I see new results every week. I’m losing inches in my waist, my legs and arms are more defined, and I feel amazing! Their kickboxing class is an amazing workout and so much fun! I walk out of there every morning with a grin on my face (maybe I just enjoy punching stuff?)
Jane will push you hard for the entire hour that you’re there, but she won’t push you to do anything that you can’t do. I had a year old shoulder injury when I started training with her, and she has done an amazing job of helping me strengthen and rebuild those muscles without reinjuring them. In fact I think she may have done more for my shoulder pain than my physical therapist did! The woman knows her stuff.
She’s also funny and personable, which makes a difference when she’s pushing you to do that last set…

I should have written a review for FUSE 10 months ago when waking up with Jane in-​FUSE-​d pain (ha! I am hilarious!) became a regular part of Sunday mornings after my Saturday workouts with Jane. Seriously, shes a badass, and I love it!
I enjoy Jane’s gym as her focus is on overall fitness not just any singular type of activity (e.g., strictly cardio, weightlifting, punching bags… etc). She has so many different «toys» that she incorporates into her workouts; no 2 days are ever the same. It really keeps you on your toes! Since having trained with her, I feel lighter, faster, stronger… she really knows her stuff!
Daniele D (below) has it right. Jane has a wonderfully intimidating sort of demeanor; she has really funny and friendly, but at the same time, something about her coaching style motivates you to give it your all.
If you’re looking for a trainer/​gym in the South Bay, you should definitely reach out to Jane & FUSE… just don’t take my time-​slot.

How many places can you go to do battle with a giant rubber band? You can at Fuse Fitness.
I should have written this review a long time ago, but I’ve moved, and life happened. If you’re in Santa Clara and looking for a gym or personal trainer, I love Love LOVED Fuse Fitness. Exercise was varied and pushed me to my limits but no farther, so no injuries. Yay! I improved very quickly, faster than I thought possible, and though it was difficult, it was fun and they helped me keep my motivation burning. It’s a great space, good people, you can’t go wrong here. If I was still in that area, I’d still be there. Give it a go! You won’t regret it.

I found FUSE fitness when doing a search on Unilocal for trainers nearby. Although I called several facilities, Jane from FUSE fitness was the first to call me back & could fit me in right away. I had a lofty goal of trying to tone up in only two weeks before my trip to Mexico. In total, I saw Kelvin 5 times and Jane once — for 6 sessions in the two week period. I can’t believe my results! My waist is noticeably slimmer and I have started to see the tone in my arms again. I’m thrilled with what I was able to accomplish with FUSE in just a couple of weeks. The training was hard, motivating, and fun. Both Kelvin and Jane are a pleasure to work out with & I can’t wait to continue my training with them when I return. :-)

I have been working out at FUSE Fitness for 3 years and still love it. My trainer Kelvin Brillante is fantastic! His Kickboxing class is incredible. You will leave feeling beat, but the results are great. I now work one-​on-​one with Kelvin, two days aerobics and one day weight training. I walk into FUSE and Kelvin has my whole workout planned and we keep track with a test at the end of each month to see my progress. I would recommend Kelvin to anyone who is looking for results. He works with all training levels from beginners to hardcore athletes.

I’ve been hunting for a challenging bootcamp type workout that will get me over this workout plateau and I’ve finally found it. I’ve tried many places in the area including Crossfit, Fast Action Training, etc. but none of them come close to how great this place is.
I tried the 6:00 a.m. bootcamp class and loved being challenged by their great trainers, while at the same time having fun. It’s a tough workout, but they have a way of making the time fly by.
Give it a try; you won’t regret it.

This place is AMAZING!
Not only does it «fuse» some INSANE techniques, methods, styles, equipment, etc into killer workouts but everyone who works there (as well as members) are FUN!
Everyone takes their health & fitness seriously (regardless of fitness level), & the camaraderie is just great. They have TOUGH ASS boot camps where everyone curses together, pushes each other, and really bond together. :D
If you want a no nonsense trainer, then I suggest Sean Bassett. He’s an Ex MMA fighter who loves to kill people by having you put on the gloves while he’s holding up the pads. One of the best things about Sean is that he is able to kick your ass no matter what level or sex you are at. He’s even trained PREGNANT WOMEN! (A large number of women looking to fit into their beautiful wedding dresses have come to him for an ass whooping, while men looking to get that super hero body see him regularly as well.)
For me, I’m an ex collegiate golfer, so I was looking to focus on getting my swing back and he really helped with that. We focused on getting my swing back (so that I could hit the ball as long as the men — like I used to in college) while working around an old hip flexor injury. He helped strengthen my hip in the process! Since training with him I’ve been able to proudly jump back on the course, and even played this past summer in a club tourney — with the MEN!
Now this may sound silly, but I think it matters to women. IT DOES NOT HURT that Trainer Sean Bassett is also…“easy on the eyes”…shhhhhhh… ;-D
Jane, the owner of the gym, is wonderful (as is her family) & every once in a while her cute dogs come to visit the open spaced functional training gym and run around barking as if they are your personal trainers! SO CUTE!
Thanks FUSE & I hope my review helps FUSE Fitness get more business — as it so deserves!

I can’t say this enough, but if you are tired of your old workout and want to get your butt kicked– you need to go to FUSE. If you want to go every day, great. If you live in the area, have a car, and want to kick start your energy levels again– even better. Jane isn’t going to force you to sign a year long contract or give you some snooze-​worth sales pitch about why you should sign up for a bunch of classes you may or may not attend.
You decide what works for you. You talk to Jane about it. She gets you in the gym, and makes you sweat like you’ve never sweated before. Forget CrossFit. This is a total body workout that is never boring.
She has integrated TRX and has a ton of new toys. Not boring treadmills or lame-​o spin classes. FITNESS TOYS.
You don’t have to be scared… much. But if you do decide to do a bootcamp session with her on a weekend, let me know. I need to be put in my place once in awhile.

I started personal training with Jane a couple weeks ago and she is whipping my ass into shape!
Every session has been challenging but Jane is encouraging and accommodating without letting you be a lazy schmuck! The variety of exercises makes the prospect of going to a traditional gym seem so incredibly pointless.
All of the muscles I forgot I had are screaming in painful bliss and I can’t wait for our next session. If you are serious about getting in shape or challenging yourself you owe it to yourself to experience a session with Jane and crew.

I got my ass kicked today by Jane!
I may not be a semi-​pro athlete but I consider myself a weekend warrior of sorts… and I was dying in this morning’s boot camp. The session was very challenging and humbling. I guess putting on 20lbs over the last two years hasn’t helped the cardio much.
Jane the head instructor/​owner was fabulous! She wasn’t in your face, but I could feel her disappointment in my performance which made me want to push myself harder even though every muscle and organ in my body was saying, «why do you do this to yourself?»
I would recommend her Thursday morning class for beginners or people just getting in cross-​fit or boot camp sessions. Nothing beats driving home and feeling inebriated because of an awesome workout. I will definitely go again!

I’m a pretty independent person and having a trainer seemed like a lot of money for an incremental gain but when my fiancé said she wanted to give it a shot, I got on board the Jane Train at FUSE Fitness.
That was 7+ months ago and the two of us are in the best shape of our lives. We hate getting up at 5:30am but every Tuesday/​Thursday morning is different so we know we won’t be bored. I wear a heart rate monitor and typically burn around 500 calories per workout plus enjoy increased metabolism the rest of the week. The combination of free weights and resistance training plus all of the crazy stuff like sledgehammers, tractor tires, rope nets, medicine balls, kettle bells and good old fashioned «run around the building» routinely leaves me sore and crying uncle.
I’m sure you would get a similar workout experience at a variety of CrossFit style gyms but in my opinion what makes FUSE so much fun is owner Jane Patrick. If you’re really into being a conservative, politically correct member of society who doesn’t like to laugh, then Jane’s Scottish sense of humor will be fully lost on you. If on the other hand you don’t mind laughing, Jane’s stories will have you cracking up as much as you can between breathing hard at heart rates of 150−170BPM.
FUSE is not for people who like to _​say_​they go to the gym. It’s for people who actually care about getting in shape and being fit. You can find Courtside just a couple of blocks away if you want a people watching scene. At Fuse you’re going to be put to your own personal test and if you stick with it you’ll see big results.
I almost forgot — you also get to play with Lovey, the little doggy mascot of FUSE. This will totally eliminate the need to have your *own* dog which will save you money and let you leave town on the weekends. :)

I just finished my second bootcamp class with Jane and I am beat (sidenote: do people still say beat any more? perhaps, i’ll bring it back – starting with this review).
By the end of the class, I was only able to reply to questions in one word answers. Also, there was lots of cussing under my breath. All the sarcastic comments I wanted to make, I wasn’t able to – why? b/​c that work out was intense and I am out of shape.
As someone who likes to mix up her exercise routine (I hate doing the same thing all the time) – this was perfect! Both classes that I’ve attended have been complete body work outs and completely different from each other. It’s amazing how much craziness Jane can come up with in her gym. tire pulling? small obstacle courses? an instructor that pushes you to try hard (er)? check, check, and check.
The only downside to this is that I can’t seem to recruit any of my friends to try this work out with me. I guess in-​depth descriptions of tire-​pulling, kettle-​ball swinging, ropes climbing aren’t for the faint of heart. If you are serious about getting in shape and want something to jazz up your existing exercise regimen – this is it!

When my friends told me the Scottish «G.I. Jane» would kick my a*#, I didn’t take them seriously. I attended one of the 100 minute workouts and was quickly impressed with Jane and the FUSE operation. I am in a lot of pain as I type this from the Saturday workout, but it’s a good pain. The tools used in the workout are unconventional as others have discussed, but it was by far, one of the best workouts I have had in a long time. I met some great people during this session and can’t wait to go back. Jane and her company are a hidden little gem in Campbell. If you think hiking the PG&E trail or in the Marin Headlands are tough, you haven’t experienced tough. Pulling a tired loaded with 70 pound weights about 25 yards a few times will quickly change your mind. If you want to get in shape. in a unconventional, but totally worth it way, this place is for you.

My work out partner for the day, Bob, told me if you throw up 3 times in 1 session you will get a free shirt. About 20 minutes into the class, after the weighted harness pull, was THIS close to barfing out my breakfast (and ¹⁄₃ of a way to a free t-​shirt). Phew. Luckily, I was able to gather myself and beast-​it-​through the rest of the day. *rawr!*
Gotta remember to eat light prior to.
What a great work out! My legs feel like lead weights at the moment, and my body felt completed exhausted. I was pretty much draggin’ ass trying to get errands done for the day.
Thanks Pam for the set up and Jane for being a fantastic trainer!

Janie’s got a gun!
Okay…she really doesn’t but there’s just something about her that is intimidating enough that you want to push yourself and not disappoint her but she’s also hilarious and puts you at ease.
I’ve done her boot camps twice now and am already looking to set up a 3^rd. I have never experienced such an ass-​kicking that left me wanting more! Both camps were very different and I’ve heard they’ll always be varied. During the 1^st one we slung sledgehammers onto industrial sized tires, flipped oblong punching bags down the side of a building while incorporating squats, jumped rope and much more. This past session we threw 12 lb medicine balls at the wall, drug a weighted tire around outside, threw sand bags over our shoulders, did group sit ups while hooking elbows and other «fun» things.
I joke about «fun» but it REALLY is! The 1^st time I went I was sore for 4 days, it felt like someone kicked me down the sides of my rib cage and visiting the restroom seemed like a geriatric event… but it truly hurt so good. I love Jane, her facilities and her techniques. I’m looking forward to making it a part of my regular routine once I get over being sick.
Look out for a free boot camp or create your own to try it out. You’ll be sore but you’ll enjoy the process!

While I used to think I was in decent shape, I have been proved completely wrong. I am a wimpy sack of jello.
I mean sure, I can walk a 17 minute mile without thinking about it and my abductors can do sets of over 100 pounds but when it REALLY comes to my legs, they are cream puffs.
I know this because I have been subjected to Jane. I’m not going to lie. She works you. She worked me. For about 15 minutes. And then I felt like I was going to puke blood. So I stopped and remained on the sidelines watching. Like I said, I’m a sack o jello.
And it’s because of that, she gets 5 stars. She kicks your ass but she isn’t a bitch about it if you really can’t handle it. I clearly was out of my league. If I pushed more, I would have thrown up. Possibly blood. And if I didn’t have plans for the rest of that day, I may have pushed more.
But I’m really glad I didn’t. Because I couldn’t walk the next day. That also might have to do with playing Capture the Flag. But I’m going to say it was both. Because I’m a sack of jello.
In short, if you go, your ass WILL be kicked, you WILL be beyond sore, and you WILL curse Jane’s name.
But that doesn’t mean you won’t want to go back.

Who would ever imagine that a workout could consist of pulling a tire? or lifting bags of sand? At FUSE, this is where anything can be used as resistance and as a means to get an awesome workout!
Came here today for a 100 minute Bootcamp set up by my Unilocaler friend Daniele D. Jane was our trainer today and don’t let this cute Scottish woman fool you… she will kick your @$$!
We started out with 10 minutes of stationary bike and then moved outside to a 6 part Bootcamp full of sand bags, free weights, a wood block, orange cones and a huge tire on a chain! We did each activity twice timed and then moved over to the abs station where we did sit ups, planks and other ab/​core workouts on mats. After our exhausting bootcamp we moved inside and did some stretching. We were all really beat at this point.
Overall this was a great experience and a few hours later I am slowly beginning to feel my muscles getting sore after being fatigued. I was so full of energy after the bootcamp and know in the next few days that attempting to sit down will be painful! =)
I would definitely come back and consider this place as part of my workout regiment. It works muscles that I usually don’t think about working out for a total body workout. Plus with Jane there by your side, she is full of information and wanting to help you do the exercises right the first time. Thanks Jane!
