Testimonials
Over our travels far and wide we have had some amazing testimonials from people who have had results or have just discovered our program. Here are a handful we'd love to share with you!
"I joined the ZenFusion class at Woden six weeks ago, and just love it. I say to people that attending this class is like having a great massage. At the end of the session I feel very relaxed, but that is not the reason why I will continue to attend Eli’s ZenFusion classes on Wednesday mornings.
I have had a bad back for most of my adult life and, while I have had regular physiotherapy/osteopathic treatments over those years, I was still routinely plagued by headaches, sore shoulders and back, and occasional feelings of nausea - all stemming from my unusually curved spine (resulting from a car accident in my childhood) and because I sit at a desk all day (the bane of a being a public servant!!). As my back bones were appearing to fuse, on the recommendation of my osteopath, I took up Tai Chi. Then menopause ‘hit’ last year and the weight started to pile on, so I had to do something else to lose the extra weight. So I joined Fernwood, Woden and decided to ‘start’ my exercise regime by joining a class that I thought may have been designed for those of us that were not fit at all, so I starting attending the ZenFusion classes on Wednesday mornings – so I could ease myself into developing a worthwhile exercise program.
I can confirm that there is no sweating, panting or potential muscle strain likely in a ZenFusion session, so some may ask, what is the point of attending such classes?
Well for me, Zen Fusion has significantly helped to alleviate my back problems. Just from attending classes over the last five/six weeks has improved my posture (when standing, walking or sitting), improved my balance and, more importantly, has markedly decreased the frequency of headaches and shoulder pain. Even my speed (and confidence) on the treadmill is getting better every week as I feel that I am less likely to fall off it. Eli’s guidance and advice is worthwhile and, as the Wednesday morning session is attended by a small number of participants, Eli has been able to provide helpful one-on-one guidance to new participants.
Recently my osteopath told me that she had no seen my back as flexible as it is now. I put that improvement down to attending Fernwood’s ZenFusion classes."– Lyn T. [Fernwood - Woden ACT member]

"I honestly never thought I would be a hip hop dancer but when our Zumba instructor didn't show up one night and Angie filled in with UrbanFusion.. I learnt a whole new style of dance. I was a bit skeptical at first as I normally do Zumba every week but now I see the difference in my workout when I can actually master the moves. Zumba is fun but this is more than that. A workout with only 6 or 8 moves and by the end I even had the choreography perfect! I teach my daughter the choreo at home and we dance together. I've now lost 6.5kg in the last month doing Ange, Eli and Emma's classes in Civic. I really have ditched the party and joined the lifestyle!" – Elanor [Fernwood - Canberra City ACT member]

"TribalFusion - Really enjoyed. Nice and easy to follow. Excellent for a larger person like myself. Would love to do it again and try all the classes in our gym. Really liked the instructor, she explained the moves really well and also explained the benefits to certain sections of the body which taught me alot of things I didn't know about my own body. Excellent. Bring this to Virgin Active!!!" - [Virgin Active - Frenchs Forest Member]
