Fused Fitness is an energetic, community-based training studio located in Onehunga, Auckland, founded by born-and-bred local athlete Kendyl Cherry. Drawing on more than two decades of fitness industry experience across New Zealand and the United Kingdom, Kendyl and the coaching team have built an inclusive, supportive club culture designed to help members ignite their full potential.
The studio delivers guided group training sessions ranging from high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to low-impact strength work. Workouts are structured around comprehensive coaching, form demonstrations, and a team-oriented environment where members frequently pair up, cheer each other on, and build sustainable fitness habits together. Whether taking your first steps into a gym or looking to push your conditioning further, Fused Fitness focuses on encouragement, camaraderie, and delivering results with no regrets.
Stepping into a fitness studio for the very first time can often feel intimidating, but Onehunga's Fused Fitness was created specifically to dismantle that barrier. Founded by Kendyl Cherry, a born-and-bred Onehunga local and former representative field hockey player for Auckland, Samoa, and the NZ Women's Masters, the studio is built upon the values of unity, encouragement, and genuine community pride. With more than 23 years of hands-on experience in the fitness industry spanning both New Zealand and the United Kingdom, Kendyl has channeled a career-long passion for teamwork into a welcoming home away from home for local residents.
At the heart of the Fused Fitness philosophy is the motto 'Results, No Regrets.' The facility bypasses impersonal workout routines in favor of an engaging, team-first environment. Whether you are returning to exercise after a break, working around an injury, or training with a competitive background, the coaching team is structured to meet you where you are and keep you moving forward.
The training program at Fused Fitness balances intensity with accessible movement patterns. Members have access to a versatile schedule of classes, covering everything from high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that builds cardiovascular capacity to low-impact strength sessions that reinforce joint stability and muscular power.
Every session runs under the watchful eye of dedicated coaches. Rather than leaving members to decipher complicated movements on their own, classes begin with a guided 5-minute warm-up followed by a focused 45-minute workout. Coaches provide clear, step-by-step demonstrations for every exercise on the board, ensuring correct lifting posture, efficient movement, and safe technique. For the majority of sessions, members work in pairs, cultivating an energetic atmosphere where partners keep each other accountable, celebrate milestone efforts, and share plenty of laughs along the way.
Preparation and communication are central to the studio experience. Newcomers are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes before their first session starts, providing ample time to sit down with the coaching staff, discuss any past or ongoing injuries, and outline personal training preferences. If training with a partner is not your preference, coaches readily adjust the structure so you can work individually or alongside a friend of your choice.
Members are advised to dress comfortably and choose their footwear around the day's training focus: flat-soled trainers with minimal cushioning provide solid stability on weight days, while cushioned running shoes are ideal for the rapid transitions of cardio days. Bringing a sweat towel and keeping water on hand are standard studio essentials to ensure you stay hydrated before, during, and after every session.
With class bookings and trial signups handled smoothly through the Gym Mate platform, joining the studio community is straightforward. Fused Fitness delivers a grounded, local training environment centered on coaching excellence, authentic human connection, and lasting fitness results.
