About
Realizing Your Potential
There’s something to potential. We all have it but so few fully realize it. When we’re working out of it, it’s easy to press through. To fight. To win. To keep going. It’s in those moments of struggle and of breakthrough where we find what we’re truly capable of. But not everyone is there and that’s where we come in; the champions of potential, the motivators of more, the community that keeps you coming back. You see, it’s the belief that everyone who steps through our doors is capable of more that gets us up early, keeps us out late, and keeps us going for higher, stronger, faster, better. We’re not in this for us, we’re in it for you.
History
From behind the Chow Time buffet, to inside our new facility off S and S Greenway, Fusion has come a long way since opening our doors in 2012.
Fusion Opens Its Doors
We opened our doors in March of 2012 behind the Chow Time Buffet and Statesboro High School. We underestimated the demand that Statesboro had for a premier training facility so we outgrew that space almost as soon as we moved into it. After 8 months we found the space that would hold the next chapter...
Mill Creek Location
In December 2012, we moved across from Mill Creek Park! Going from 2,400 square feet to 7,200 was a welcome change. We were able to do things we had never dreamed of in our smaller space and we continued to evolve over the next 6 years before needing something bigger yet again. In efforts to transform as many lives as possible the search was on for our forever home...
Built Our New Facility
We bought some land off of the S and S Greenway in 2018 and began construction on the best training facility Statesboro has to offer. In May of 2019 we opened our doors to a 12,000 square foot state of the art facility which houses all of our programs: CrossFit, X4, Nutrition, Thrive, Personal Training and Fusion Kids. We love our new location and enjoy having the best sunrises in Statesboro every morning. We hope you come and see for yourself.
We Go Together
We’re firmly rooted in the notion that you cannot become your best by yourself. It takes a team, a village, a group of people to push, to strive, to encourage, to develop, and to achieve something more than what we thought possible. When we go together, we’re capable of more than if we went it alone.
A Community That Keeps
It’s once been said that curiosity brings you to the door, but community keeps you there. We’re aware of the intrigue found in something new and different, but we don’t settle for just curiosity. We push each other for more and it’s in those moments that we find the community that keeps us going, progressing, and bettering ourselves.
Embracing Failure
The only way to get better is to get back up. “Eating it” is a natural part of progress and without it, nothing grows, no one gets better, and we’re left with the unsatisfying taste of familiarity and failure. Grueling step by grueling step, we embrace failure and celebrate it, as it’s in the mire of disappointment where we rise from what was and move towards what can be with when we take just one more step.

"I got my start training a little more unconventionally than most, I was 26 and 350 lbs before I started taking my health seriously. CrossFit for me has meant a transformation that I didn’t think was possible. I started CrossFit in Brunswick, Ga. I completed my first WOD in a 10×20 storage unit in the 95+ degree South Georgia heat. The WOD was 3 rounds for time: farmers carry, overhead lunge, KB swing and a 200m run. I felt absolutely miserable after it was over but knew something was different about this way of training. My trainer was the high school quarterback of my graduating class and had always been in shape. He was very encouraging and I told him what my goals were, mainly to lose weight and be healthy. He put me on a paleo/primal diet and a schedule of working out 5 days a week and the weight starting falling off. After losing 60 pounds in the first 2 months I was hooked. After 9 weeks of CrossFit and diet I could; do a kipping pullup, had increased my deadlift from 415 to 450, and I was signed up for my first 5k run. Fast forward to today and I have lost 115 lbs and can do 35+ pullups unbroken, have over a 500# deadlift and have run several long distance races (and running is my nemesis). Without hard work and CrossFit this wouldn’t have been possible."

"Staying active has always been an important part of my life. I grew up in Greenville, North Carolina, where I was deeply involved in All-Star Competitive Cheerleading at East Carolina Cheerleading and Tumbling School (EC CATS). I loved the dynamic, team-based environment that blended tumbling, stunting, pyramids, dance, and cheer routines. As I got older, I stayed active through gym workouts, outdoor running, and home fitness programs—but I found myself missing the group atmosphere that I had once thrived in. While working at a local accounting firm in Statesboro, Georgia, I kept hearing about CrossFit Boro (now Fusion Training). After months on the waitlist, I finally joined in February 2016. What I didn’t realize then was just how life-changing this place would become. Now, nearly eight years later, I can’t imagine being anywhere else. In 2019, I recognized that in order to truly reach my health goals, I needed to focus on nutrition. My father had recently been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, and I knew my eating habits closely mirrored his. I joined the first Healthy Steps Nutrition 28-Day Challenge offered at Fusion and quickly learned how consistent, small changes—paired with regular exercise—could dramatically improve both physical and mental well-being. That challenge changed everything for me. I won the challenge and later encouraged my mom to join the next round—she also stayed consistent and won! Seeing both of our transformations was incredibly rewarding and inspired me to help others experience similar success. That’s when I decided to pursue coaching and take on the role of Operations Manager at Fusion Training. I’m passionate about empowering others to develop sustainable, healthy habits that support a long and vibrant life. Exercise and nutrition offer so many benefits—physically, yes, but even more so mentally. My goal is to share that with as many people as possible. This place has the power to change your life—if you let it."

"In 2012, under doctor’s orders to stop running, due to plantars fasciitis, I started looking for a different style workout. After reading a newspaper article about the newly opened CrossFit Boro, I talked my daughter, Kacie, into giving it a try with me. I am still here, along with my youngest son. With two children so dedicated to CrossFit and the desire to live a healthy lifestyle, I decided that I wanted to assist with the CrossFit Kids program and hopefully impact them in such a way as to also want to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. This led me to obtain my Level 1 and CrossFit Kids certifications. Being one of the older members, I appreciate that CrossFit can be scaled to my abilities, yet I still get an excellent workout, conditioning, and performance results. I love coaching both kids and adults and interacting with all members of the CrossFit Boro family. While it can initially seem intimidating, I’m proof that CrossFit is for any age and fitness level so come check us out. I look forward to meeting you and assisting you in any way possible as you start your CrossFit journey into what I know will be a new, exciting, constantly changing, and challenging workout experience."

"I have been an instructor for almost half of my life. Spin, yoga, step, and boot camps. It is a part of who I am. During that time I decided to become a runner. And by “runner” I mean all in. It started with a 5k and ended with the Goofy Challenge in 2007. (A half marathon on Saturday and a full marathon on Sunday) 14 half marathons and 4 full marathons. In 2009 I got a stress fracture and tore my calf during a marathon. In rehab I was told that my running days were over. A friend in Dublin suggested that I try “CrossFit.” I was a runner and wanted no part of that. But, I went anyway. It was the perfect fit! Soon after that I moved to Statesboro where there was no CrossFit. But, that was short lived. The owner of CrossFit DGA knew Ryan Brack who was opening a box in Statesboro. My first workout was the Open 11.1 7 minutes of burpees for time! The gym was not even open. I did burpees on a stall mat to rings hanging from the ceiling. The rest as they say is history. I am proud to be the only original member of CrossFit Boro/Fusion Training. What you learn here is that we are not just a community. We are family!"

"Fitness has always been something that is important to my family. When I was 18 months old, I was enrolled into gymnastics. To me, the best part of gymnastics was always the conditioning parts. I found it fun to be able to push myself harder than everyone else to try and finish first. I did gymnastics for about 10 years, but over the years my passion for gymnastics slipped away. My mother and father started Crossfit just as a way to stay active and keep themselves fit. My mother introduced me to CrossFit when I was 10 because she thought it would be something I would enjoy and I needed a way to stay active after quitting gymnastics. I very quickly fell in love with the opportunity to push myself to become better and more fit with people who had similar goals as I did. I loved the supportive atmosphere and CrossFit quickly grew to become a very large part of my life. I have been doing CrossFit for about 8 years now (since I was 11), and slowly, coaching has become something I have become very interested in. My goal with coaching is to help other athletes not only reach their fitness goals, but also love the process and the community around them"

"I had always played different sports growing up and tried several fitness routines after college, but just never really enjoyed any of them enough to stick with it. I decided to try Crossfit in 2016 while still living in Pooler and loved the mix of gymnastics, high-intensity intervals, and weightlifting. But what really drew me to the classes day in and day out was the community of people there. Shortly after, we moved to Statesboro and I felt very isolated in a new place where I knew very few people. I decided to check out Crossfit Boro, and this is where I met so many of the people who now make Statesboro feel like home. I started getting stronger but never really took the nutrition component as seriously as I knew I could. Dawn started coaching me through it and keeping me accountable - in the first 2 months I had lost 5% body fat and was still adding pounds to my max lifts. This process really helped me learn how important it is to focus on properly fueling your body and the rest will follow. The aesthetics were just a bonus, but I also found that I was also experiencing quality sleep, improved mood stability, and less fatigue despite my night shift schedule. Working as a healthcare provider, I see the overwhelming burden of metabolic diseases facing our community daily. After seeing how much better nutrition improved my own quality of life - I would love to help others make those positive long-term changes in their own lives as well. I am so thankful for this Fusion community and the opportunity to be part of the team!"

"My journey into fitness and health began in middle school working out with my dad. I was always an active kid growing up doing baseball, some softball, and karate for a while but it never fully resonated with me. One day I found P90x and got interested and stuck with it for a while. I felt and saw some results and that sparked my passion for fitness and achieving greater things for myself. Once I started, I just wanted more and more. During my sophomore year in high school, I discovered another movement discipline through a show, American Ninja Warrior - Freerunning or Parkour, & this really resonated with me. Not only does it require great physicality but also a lot of mental training, discipline, and creativity. Throughout my years of training and interacting with other athletes, I've gotten the chance to meet so many amazing, smart, and creative people. Taking in all their knowledge and opinions and adapting to my own. After High school, I attended Georgia Southern University pursuing Exercise Science in hopes of one day having my own parkour space/gym and bringing that love and passion I have for movement to many others. Joining a CrossFit gym is something I could never see myself doing but after meeting the owners and attending a couple X4 classes I was hooked. There is a space for everyone here to learn, grow, and gain many friendships. The community aspect is what drew me in and I can't wait to meet everyone and grow alongside you all. I am grateful to have the opportunity to coach this amazing program and lead you all on your fitness journey."

"Way back in April of 2014, I made the decision to stop by this “warehouse gym”, something that I quickly learned is called a “box”, that so many people were talking about. I heard they did CrossFit there. It was completely foreign to me but I knew I needed to make a lifestyle change so I gave it a shot. Within 6 months I had dropped 30 lbs and was completely in love with fitness. Six months turned into one year and that one year has now become ten years. Over the last ten years, I’ve met so many amazing people (including my now husband Eli) and I’ve learned so much about how important it is to prioritize your health. The best part of it all is the wonderful community we have here at Fusion. It’s the best part of my day. I have a passion for helping others so becoming a part of the team seemed like the perfect way to combine my love for helping others and my love for fitness."

"I was always someone who enjoyed being active but never fell into a consistent fitness routine until 2018 when I discovered kickboxing. I went from 200# with very little muscle down to 160# in just a few months and then started putting on muscle. My love for fitness grew and became part of my lifestyle. After a short time I realized how important all aspects of fitness, strength training, cardio, flexibility/recovery work were and I wanted to make sure it would stay part of my life forever. I became a Certified Personal Trainer in 2019 in order to help people along on their fitness journey. My passion is in helping others and this is my favorite way to help! When planning my move to Georgia, I discovered Fusion Training and loved everything they stood for on their website so I planned a workout over my Christmas visit and never looked back."

"Growing up I was a very active kid, I played organized sports as well as playing sports around the neighborhood as well. I was always very competitive and strived to be the best at whatever I was playing. I played multiple sports but by the time I got to high school I decided to focus primarily on soccer. Although I was very active growing up, my love for fitness didn’t start until I got to college. When I got to college I started to get out of shape and I remember looking at myself in the mirror one day and I knew I needed to make a change. It started off by just wanting to be healthier and eventually turned into a passion. What went from going 2-3 days turned into 5-6. I fell in love with the process of bettering yourself and that’s ultimately why I decided to go into personal training snd the fitness field. I am currently pursuing a Bachelors in exercise science to grow my knowledge and impact in the field. My goal is to ultimately help people see the value of health and fitness and just to become better and stronger versions of themselves both physically and mentally"

"I started kids CrossFit when I was in 5th grade because my dad wanted me to build some strength while I was playing soccer. I never really got into it because I was focused on soccer all throughout middle and high school, CrossFit was just something I did on the side when my dad made me go. I had always been active my whole life and when I moved to Statesboro to go to Georgia Southern I stopped working out because I had no one there to push me. About halfway through my freshman year I knew I needed to get back into the gym and I found Fusion Training and started off at X⁴ and I fell in love with the gym but still wasn’t consistent with it. The end of my junior year I decided to really prioritize my health and I fell in love with CrossFit because it made me feel strong and I saw the change it was making both physically and mentally for me. I went from the worst I’ve ever felt in my life, to the best I’ve ever felt thanks to CrossFit. I got my Level 1 in hopes to help other people find the same love I found for CrossFit. I can truly say Fusion Training has made me better, and I hope I can help do that for other members. CrossFit is one of the most rewarding sports and the people within the community are some of the most encouraging people who want you to push yourself and be better which has really helped me throughout my journey."

"Growing up running cross country and track in middle school sparked my lifelong passion for running, which has now evolved into competing in marathons during college. Over years of training, I’ve discovered that adequate, balanced nutrition is one of the best things you can do for your body. Like many, I’ve faced my own battles with nutrition and understand how confusing and overwhelming it can be—this is why I’m here to help! I believe that nutrition goes beyond dieting. It’s about building sustainable habits that support your unique goals, whether it’s weight management, boosting energy levels, enhancing athletic performance, or improving overall well-being. My approach is compassionate, science-based, and personalized to help clients thrive. I am currently pursuing a Marketing degree at Georgia Southern University with a minor in Food and Nutrition, a field I am deeply passionate about. Through my role as a Nutrition Coach with Fusion Training, I’ve been fortunate to gain hands-on experience and help others discover how proper nutrition can fuel both their bodies and their goals."

"I learned about balanced nutrition in March of 2021 when I committed to a 90 day HSN individual nutrition challenge at Fusion Training. The week before, I sat on the floor to play with my grandchild, and couldn’t get up without help. That was the turning point for me. I learned about the plate method, and how to balance macros using the HSN app. After many failed attempts at losing weight, I finally found success. I had been overweight since I was a child. I have yo-yo’d back and forth with my weight all of my life. I have tried many fad diets and lost weight, only to gain it right back, and more. Not only did I lose 50 pounds, but I have kept it off. Before, I didn’t feel well and had no energy. My joints ached all the time and I had no direction. I am a registered nurse and have a good understanding of nutrition. I knew what I needed to do, but couldn’t seem to follow through and do it. I also have an extensive family history of preventable chronic diseases. I have watched my parents and other relatives become home-bound as a result of chronic disease. I want to be active as I grow older, travel and spend quality time with my family. Having the simple plan that HSN provides paired with the accountability and guidance of a coach was life changing for me. Now I have energy to hike, go camping, and look forward to longevity of life! I love whole foods and can’t wait to get to the gym each day. I am excited to share this priceless information with others. "
Focused On Community
When it comes to workout options, you have plenty. Going online and finding a workout to do on your own is certainly one of those options. So why not just stick with working out on your own? The benefits of becoming a Fusion member goes beyond getting in a good workout. A membership at Fusion doesn’t mean that you’re just another member of a gym. It means that you are part of a supportive community. And the benefits of this community may make you reconsider your solo workouts. Being part of a fitness community gives you a sense of belonging, social support, and a place to share common interests and goals with others.
