TRX, Kettlebell & Steel Mace Fusion
Three tools, one class, zero boredom. Suspension work on the TRX, ballistic strength with kettlebells and rotational power with steel maces, coached in a small group at our private Chicago studio. The most unique hour on our schedule.
- Three training tools in one coached session
- Functional strength: core, grip, balance and rotation
- Small reserved groups, every movement taught from scratch
Who It Is For
For Bodies That Move in All Directions
Life is not a machine circuit. This class trains like it.
Functional Fitness Fans
TRX rows, kettlebell swings and mace flows train the body as one system: core braced, joints stacked, everything talking.
Variety Seekers
Three tools rotating through one hour keeps your brain as busy as your body. Nobody has ever called this class repetitive.
Desk-Bound Rotators
Maces and suspension work wake up shoulders, hips and the rotation your chair stole. Expect to feel muscles you forgot existed.
Purpose & Approach
Why Three Tools in One Class
The fusion class is built on a truth most programs ignore: bodies move in every direction, so training should too. TRX loads you against gravity, kettlebells teach ballistic power, steel maces force rotation and grip. Together they train the body as one system.
The class assumes variety works when it is structured, not random. Each tool has its technique block, each station has its coaching, and the circuit ties them into one hour that builds strength you can use anywhere.
The principles behind it:
- Three disciplines, each taught properly before circuit work
- Core, grip and stability loaded in every station
- Difficulty scaled per person: angle, weight, flow length
- The one class regulars refuse to give up
What to Expect
How the Fusion Class Runs
1
Tool School
Every class starts with technique: TRX setup, kettlebell hinge, mace grip. New folks learn, regulars refine.
2
Fusion Circuit
Stations rotate through the three tools with the coach adjusting difficulty per person: harder angles, heavier bells, longer flows.
3
Core and Carry Finish
Loaded carries and core work close the hour, the most honest strength you can build.
What You Get Out of It
What Fusion Training Builds
Functional Strength
Strength that transfers: carrying, twisting, pulling, stabilizing. The stuff daily life is actually made of.
Grip and Core of Steel
Every tool in this class taxes your grip and midline. Both show up in every other workout you do.
Mobility With Load
Maces and suspension work move joints through ranges machines never visit. Shoulders and hips wake up.
Zero Boredom
Three tools, rotating stations, endless combinations. Nobody has ever called this class repetitive.

What does this class actually train?
Functional strength: core, grip, shoulders, hips, balance and rotation, plus conditioning from the circuit format.
Is it a cardio or strength class?
Both, by design. The tools load your muscles while the circuit keeps your heart rate honest.
Will this help my other training?
Yes. Grip, core and stability built here show up under barbells, in boot camp and in daily life. It is the glue class.
