Fusion Gym (Inside Goodyear Health Center) Information

Fusion Gym is a state-of-the-art rehab facility inside Goodyear Health Center. Patients/clients can receive exercise rehabilitation and personal training through our providers. Fusion Gym exists to bridge the gap between two distinct approaches to health. Combining the corrective, restorative focus of rehab with the intensity and challenge of fitness, Fusion Gym helps athletes and athletes-at-heart practice smarter so they can perform better. This gym pioneers a smart practice functional movement based facility and structured training program. Traditionally, rehab and fitness stand at opposite ends of the health spectrum. Rehab is performed most often by physical therapists, occupational therapists, chiropractors and athletic trainers. Rehab professionals use distinct exercises to help athletes resume normal movement and function. Often when patients finish treatment at a clinic, they begin a new fitness plan with a gym or trainer, assuming that professionally-led exercise will prevent recurring injury. Unfortunately, most trainers and gyms are not equipped to understand the pathology of injuries and do not adapt exercises to the individual. Fusion Gym provides only highly-trained certified professionals who understand injuries and corrective exercises, as well as how to push individuals to reach their fitness goals. These certified coaches employ smart, powerful and strategic movements that significantly decrease risk of injury while drastically increasing fitness. The Fusion Gym method draws from both the rehabilitation tradition and current trends in fitness. Leading health experts who influence Fusion Gym’s approach include: •Dr. Stu McGilll, PhD, spinal biomechanist. •Gary Grey, PT, the father of function. •Gray Cook, PT, and Lee Burton, PT, PhD, of the functional movement systems. •Craig Liebenson, DC, for modern spine and functional assessment. •Vladamir Janda, MD, the father of modern rehab principles.
