The Catalyst Story

Discover your inner strength

In 2014, Coach Corey founded Catalyst Fitness with a vision inspired by his own parents, who at 70+ continue to demonstrate the life-changing power of proper strength training.

We built this gym specifically to solve the challenges busy professionals and adults face: limited time, previous injuries, and the need for personalized attention.

Through our 5:1 client-to-trainer ratio and customized programming, we've helped hundreds of members transform their bodies and rebuild their confidence—all while balancing work, family, and life's demands.

The Proof Is In Our People: Catalyst Success Stories

I joined Catalyst Fitness to get in shape for my wedding, and I'm so glad I did! I was nervous and intimidated going in but Corey and Katherine were so welcoming and helped me get settled in quickly. All of the coaches are great, they are invested in your goals and progress without being pushy.

Since starting at Catalyst I feel so much stronger, more confident, and excited to go to the gym and was finally able to complete my first pull up!

"Great place to get a targeted workout! I've been doing the semi-private training for 3 months now, very happy with the trainers, and I love the new workout series we just started. I can work out 3x a week and have something new every time, but easily see the progress I'm making.”

“I’ve been at Catalyst since February 2024. I can’t speak highly enough for the quality of the coaches and workouts at Catalyst. The decision to partner with this gym for my health is one of the best decisions I’ve made. I signed up because I was constantly exhausted, grumpy, unfocused, not feeling like myself. Six weeks in, I felt balanced, focused, and had more energy than I’d had I years. Six months in I was thriving through bootcamp workouts, enjoying the community of people I saw several times a week. The coaches are engaged and engaging, allowing no one to slack off during workouts, but they do this without degrading dude-bro nonsense. Recently I signed up for their semi-private classes since I identified some specific goals I want to achieve. These classes are smaller and very personalized to achieve what I want. I’ve no doubt that continuing to partner with the coaches at Catalyst will get me there.”

They also provide one on one personalized training sessions with knowledgeable trainers. Science shows diversity in your workouts prevents plateau and I love that they provide this. The trainers are unique as far as knowing what to coach but how to coach!And the best……Catalyst makes you feel part of their community.”

"My husband and I signed up at Catalyst gym in January 2024 and it has been such a awesome experience, they have helped both of us reach our fitness goals and continue to strive for better health and wellness all around. All the trainers are so personable and spend the time to get to know you and what you need to do to meet the fitness goals you set for your self. The classes built for you to be able to modify where you need but also push you to hit the next level. I’m stoked I found a gym I can feel comfortable at and look forward to working out each day!”

Simply the best, Catalyst Fitness is hands down one of my favorite places to be! I was hesitant to get started but I have been a member of this gym for just over 6 months now. The structured, group style classes were exactly what I was looking for and the coaches are AMAZING! They are truly invested in your personal fitness journey and meet you wherever you're at.
