I came to Catalyst to get strong for Muay Thai. Joe Boffi is my teammate at Renzo Gracie Muay Thai and I knew he and the team at Catalyst would make sure I got really good Muay Thai specific strength training. And I was right - amazing training with amazing people. 
Since training at Catalyst, I can't remember the last time I was injured and that's primarily because I have gained so much all-over strength. I feel consistently powerful through the most grueling fight camps and fights. I can lift more than I ever have been able to and discovered that it's fun picking up really heavy stuff and putting it down.

In January of 2014, I made the decision to take control of my health. I had lost over 85 pounds before joining Catalyst, strictly from dieting. I kept putting off exercise because as someone who was never really athletic, I was intimidated. I slowly began taking classes but was really wanting something more focused on my needs. Luckily I stumbled across Catalyst SPORT.
From my first consultation, I knew this was the place for me. Jason and the team really listened to my needs and made me feel comfortable. I went from being nervous about exercising to looking forward to my sessions.
Not only have I continued to lose weight (I am currently down almost 100 pounds) but I'm seeing the biggest changes on my body yet... muscles where there were none before and just overall feeling healthier.

I met Dr. Kathy Dooley 2 years ago when I was suffering from a bad shoulder injury. I immediately became her patient when I realized that she was just as invested in me as I was, in finding out the “why” of my injury. Once I visited Catalyst SPORT and saw all that it is, I knew I had found a special place. At the time, I never knew just how much being a part of the Catalyst family would enhance my life.
Using everything that Kathy taught me via movement‬‬ and breathing drills, my injury eventually healed. From not being able to lift my arm to shoulder height without pain, I went on to earn my SFG kettlebell certification, take a multitude of ‎strength ‬‬workshops, and attend the StrongFirst barbell certification, all in just over a year, with ZERO pain. With Jason's coaching & guidance, I also fulfilled a long time dream of competing in a powerlifting meet, coming home with two PRs. I've been lifting for over 30 years, and I'm ‎stronger‬‬ and more fit at 52 than I've ever been.
