"I would highly recommend to anyone considering hiring a personal trainer to look no further then Fusion Fitness Center in Newark, Delaware. Fusion has a excellent facility with all of the latest equipment and great trainers to help you accomplish your goals. I personally work with Jud Dean at Fusion. Over the years I have worked with several trainers at other facilities and Jud is without a doubt a world class trainer. Jud is abreast of all the latest training techniques and will modify programs to meet each client's abilities. I have worked with Jud for the past 10 months two times each week. After working to establish proper core strength Jud and I sat down to map out where I could expect to be by certain milestone dates. I could not be happier with the results. I could not be happier with Fusion and Jud Dean!"

“I have found that having a scheduled appointment keeps me on track. I even look forward to the training sessions. When I started, I was nervous, but Jud did everything at my pace. He continues to challenge me and keeps the workouts varied and interesting. After one year, I am definitely stronger and have much greater stamina.”
--Tim
I first went to Fusion Fitness Center in August of 2006. My wife Robin, who also trains at Fusion, signed me up and bought three training sessions with Jud Dean to help me get started. After the first work-out I asked Jud if he would be my personal trainer like he was for Robin. One and a half years later I am still working with Jud two sessions per week. I find that my fitness and energy levels have increased tremendously. My cholesterol levels are now down to the point that I do not need to take medication any more (this was my primary reason for starting a fitness program to begin with). I continue to work with Jud because he drives me harder than I would drive myself and because I look forward to the afternoons that I do work-out with him; they are now a part of my weekly routine. Jud is now not just my trainer but he is also a very good friend. We both take pride in my accomplishments when I can do something in a session that 6 months ago I could not have done. All things considered, hiring Jud as my personal trainer was the best way for me to get healthy and stay healthy. I would much rather pay for my training sessions than give the money to the pharmacy to buy medications (which I no longer need). I am absolutely positive that my health and fitness are worth the cost of belonging to Fusion and having Jud as my personal trainer.

Fusion Fitness and Jud Dean have changed my life. I have been working out at Fusion for the past 7 months and have seen noticeable results in my golf game as well as my overall fitness level. I am in the best shape of my life and my best years of golf are ahead of me.

I joined Fusion fitness center February 2006. Fusion is a well run gym with a helpful and friendly staff. Jud Dean is an excellent trainer. I have never felt better physically. I have stamina and I am certainly stronger. I know my golf game is improving. Thanks to Fusion, Jud Dean, and hard work, I now have this great feeling of well-being, a
by-product of working out at Fusion.
