" I had been marathon training for 2 years. After 6 marathons, I still didn’t have it figured out. I followed my training plans and rarely ever missed a scheduled run. Despite stretching before and after runs, eating a healthy diet, and getting plenty of rest, something was obviously missing… It was easy to determine that I was over training in 2015, and my body was paying the price. My marathon times were way off my previous year’s pace. I literally developed numerous golf ball sized knots in my glute and calf muscles on both sides. I frequently woke up in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in one or both calves. Following my final marathon in May of 2015, I started attending FUSE classes at Chadwick’s Fitness. My wife was already attending these classes and thought that I would like them. I was looking to do a different kind of training program… I signed up for the 2016 Nashville Marathon at the end of December. I participated in a group run training program but did not do any of the scheduled runs during the week. I only ran the long runs early on Saturday mornings (and trained with Fuse for the rest of the week). During the Nashville Marathon on April 30, 2016, I physically felt the best I’ve ever felt in all 7 races. I easily beat my time of the previous year. After the race was over, I felt the best at the end that I have ever felt. I didn’t have any pain in my calves or glutes. This year, I plan to work on flexibility with yoga and correcting some issues in my scapulae in FUSE. I don’t know if I’ll run any more marathons, but I will definitely continue FUSE for the foreseeable future. FUSE class full body workouts have made a tremendous difference in my overall energy level and wellness. The structure of the class is set up for individuals of all fitness levels to excel. If you are looking for a different kind of workout or to start up a workout routine, there’s no better place for you than FUSE at Chadwick’s Fitness in Franklin, TN. The trainers will invest their time in you and make sure that you get the best workout possible in a fun and safe environment."
