In the heart of Onehunga, Fused Fitness has built its studio around a simple belief: unity, support and a strong club culture help people reach their full potential.

Fused Fitness is owned by Kendyl Cherry, who was born and bred in Onehunga and carries genuine pride in the local community she now serves. Kendyl's own path into fitness came through sport — she represented Auckland and Samoa, and more recently the NZ Women's Masters, in field hockey. With over 23 years of experience in the fitness industry across both New Zealand and the UK, she's built Fused Fitness into what she describes as a home away from home for members.
The studio's class offering spans high intensity interval training (HIIT) through to low-impact strength training and everything in between, giving members options whatever their fitness level or goals. Every class follows the same structure: a 5-minute warm up followed by a 45-minute workout, with coaches providing a full demonstration of each exercise to make sure it's performed correctly. Members typically work in pairs, though the team will accommodate a preference to train solo or alongside someone specific.
Fused Fitness is upfront about how intimidating a first gym visit can feel, and structures the experience to ease new members in. Anyone attending their first class is encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early to meet the coaches and discuss anything relevant, including past or ongoing injuries and personal training preferences. Practical advice is offered too — bring a towel for every workout, stay properly hydrated before, during and after training, and choose footwear suited to the session: flatter, less cushioned trainers for weights days, and a more traditional cushioned running shoe for cardio-focused sessions.
Beyond the workouts themselves, Fused Fitness also sells branded merchandise including bags, bottles and towels for members wanting to rep the club. Whether you're a complete beginner nervous about a first class or a seasoned athlete looking for a new community, Fused Fitness positions itself as a place built on genuine local connection — results, no regrets.
