Fitness Fusion is less a gym and more a glorified garage with delusions of grandeur. It’s not a professionally run establishment—it’s a cluttered, hot box with no AC, barely-functioning machines, and a vibe that screams “DIY gone wrong.”
Most of the equipment is either ancient, sketchy, or straight-up broken. The cable machines look like they’ve survived multiple near-death experiences and could snap or collapse at any moment. Several dumbbells are literally falling apart—weights coming loose, handles cracked. It’s hard to feel safe using half the stuff here.
That said, there are a few surprisingly nice pieces scattered around—like finding a few gold coins in a pile of trash. One or two machines are genuinely impressive and seem oddly out of place in the rest of the chaos.
The bathroom, though, is where things truly go off the rails. The toilet doesn’t flush, there’s no warm water, and paper towels are practically mythical. But the best part? The owner gets visibly angry if you dare take a dump—as if basic human functions are a personal insult to him. Maybe with a nose that size he just smells everything too strongly, because that thing arrives five minutes before he does. You’d think someone so sensitive to bathroom odors would, you know, fix the plumbing—but nah, just weird glares and muttered complaints.
The owner himself is a whole other story: short, arrogant, and so cheap it’s almost performance art. Talking to him is like being scolded by a cartoon villain who thinks he’s running Equinox. There’s zero customer service, zero accountability, and 100% ego.
Fitness Fusion could’ve been a gritty, underground gym with character, but instead it’s a frustrating, unhygienic mess with a few redeeming qualities buried under neglect and a big nose full of attitude.
If you still decide to go, bring your own fan, your own toilet paper, and a tetanus...
Read moreBest gym around if you want maximum efficiency, no nonsense, an atmosphere that prides itself on training and being your best self above all else. It's apparent the owner (Matt) has put his blood sweat and tears into this gym and that shows with the loyal clientele and constant upgrades to equipment and improvements to the facility. This ain't no planet fitness though, so don't get upset if there's an absolute monster crushing an axle DL with 500-10,000 pounds screaming to the valkyries. Again, no nonsense gym that has everything you need to train seriously, and it's open 24/7. 10 out 5 stars.
Also don't listen to the negative reviews. They're trash and Matt ain't got no...

Matt (owner & trainer) is incredibly knowledgeable and intentional with every piece of equipment in there, and Meg is a great trainer!
I wish it weren’t an hour of drive time for me because I really did enjoy going!
As it pertains to cancellation, make sure you text/message Matt and he will take care or it promptly.
Don’t support the corporations; support local! And FF is not like Catalyst or Planet Fitness—it’s better. It’s the best “dive” gym you can find here in Buffalo. And you’ll be...
