What's the best way to exercise? It took us 14 years to learn the answer. It took a two-year longitudinal, randomized research trial. The answer: it's better if you like it. That's it. No, most people DON'T like it - at first. But we've spent over a decade finding a way to help you like exercise. Now, we have clients who stay up too late to find out what they'll be doing the next day. We have people who skip work or school to exercise. We have people - from shy never-evers to professional athletes - who love the atmosphere here: no mirrors, no fashion show, no "night-club" feeling. Just honest exertion, clear results, and the type of camaraderie you can only find through tribulation.
Who Are We?
We're a group of highly-educated, heavily-experienced Personal Trainers and Therapists. We were all born here. Each of us left for awhile; travelled, studied, learned. Then we came home. And we brought all that knowledge home with us.
Our new clients quickly find out that we're very different from other Personal Trainers. First, we don't use much equipment (we prefer to train your body to move in ways for which it was built.) This approach is far from the norm, we know; that's fine with us.
We enjoy the support of the vast majority of local physicians, physiotherapists, and chiropractors. Instead of parking you on a machine for an hour, our workouts and exercises improve the way you move, lessen your chance for injury, and help you live your life better - even experience more things.
We open doors.
We own two facilities: one, a private personal training facility on Queen Street. A quiet environment where we train everyone from post-rehab clients to soccer moms to elite athletes; we do 1-on-1 training; we write books; we do research; we do several daily CrossFit Groups.
Our other facility is a CrossFit-based Gym in the Industrial Park. It's built for performance; for our style of quick, intense workouts; for an atmosphere of change and success. It feels like a Colisseum, because our workouts feel like events.
If you're new to Catalyst, the first step is a free chat with one of our Elite Personal Trainers. No pressure; we're exercise professionals, not salesmen. We'll listen. Then we'll help chart a path toward the person you'd like to be. That may include personal training, some groups like CrossFit, a food plan; it will almost always include homework.
Most clients will see one of our Trainers once per week, and perform 'homework' on their own: either at home, at our Gym, or at another fitness facility if they prefer. We always include a food plan for every client; it's part of your new lifestyle, after all. We've developed amazing tracking software, free for our clients, that we use to keep you moving in the right direction, interacting with our other clients (as many as you choose!) and improving in measurable ways.
Hang around. There's a lot of interesting stuff here. Hop over to our Catalyst Gym site for the daily CrossFit Workout Of the Day. Browse the stories of a few of our clients. Follow us on Twitter, or join our facebook group. There are dozens of free articles that we write, every week, sorted by category on the right. When you're ready, book a sit-down with a Catalyst Trainer, and watch your future unfold. Find out why our clients rave about us; why they post pictures of our workouts on facebook; why they won't stop talking at parties; why they're up late, checking our website for tomorrow's workout. NONE of them started as exercise addicts, masochists, or even as enthusiastic wannabes. Today, they're hooked; they're doing things no one ever told them they could; they're winning at life. Become part of the Catalyst story yourself.
See you soon!
