I really loved this place until there came a time when the Covid appeared and it became a very rough schedule for me I tried to work it out with the owners and unfortunately instead of working with me they chose to just bang out my card for money I thought they truly cared about their patrons I really thought Nick at least cared not so much Anthony because every time I try to schedule and reschedule my nutrition appointment, It became about a month and I still never had my first nutritional appointment with him. Then again you win some and you lose some they were very professional until I came to the money. Then again We all know the root of all evil is…

I signed up at Catalyst as soon as my OB cleared me to work out. I was a bit apprehensive given my unsuccessful history with most gyms. I am so excited I decided to go with my gut and join. I have lost all my baby weight and then some! I have incredible energy to keep up with my kids and I feel better than ever!! They customized my training program and helped me with tailoring my nutrition according to my goals. They check up on me, help keep me engaged, and most importantly challenge me to be the best version of myself. I love the family environment catalyst has created. Thank you Nick, Anthony, Zach, and Autumn for making working out and eating right fun and DOABLE...especially with two little ones.

I started working out at catalyst over a year ago and have seen results every step of the way. I see Zach (trainer) twice a week and he is awesome! Not only is he enthusiastic he is very knowledgeable. When I hurt my shoulder at work a few months ago Zach tailored the parts of the workout that I couldn’t do specifically for me so I could still come in for workouts and also get better. Everyone on the staff is personable and kind, they show an interest in your progress both at the gym and in your personal life. I recommend Catalyst to everyone!

I am not a client but have worked in the fitness industry with Nick and Anthony in the past. I felt compelled to write this review because there is so much nonsense in the fitness industry that it is important to acknowledge people that are actually doing the right thing. Nick and Anthony are special in that they not only know a ton about exercise and what works, but they also genuinely care about the client and their well being. I’ve personally seen them not only get people in shape, but lift their spirits. If you want to get in shape, have fun, stay safe, and get excellent service put your trust in these two gentlemen and their staff.

I joined after having two herniated discs. At first, I was skeptical that I was going to be able to work out and not re injure myself. But both John and Zach have been awesome with being cautious but still pushing me within my limits. Both have been working to build my core and ensure that I dont hurt myself again. Autumn is a great nutritional counselor and gives me something that I did not get at my previous big box gym. Thanks to everyone at Catalyst for keeping me motivated and coming!

These guys are amazing! I was able to accomplish goals that I never thought I could do. They helped me hit new personal records, motivate me, and kept me in check. Stick to their program and you’ll see results. You might even gain a friend or two while you’re there!

Catalyst fitness is a great place to get in shape.The trainers, equipment, and facilty are top notch. They dont just get to know you on the surface level they get to know you on a deep and emotional level to help find what drives and what would be best to motivate you. They work with your schedule so that you are able to workout when is best for you. The class setting allows you to meet new and fun people. If you follow the meal advice they give as well the fat just seems to melt off. So if you want to get in shape let Catalyst fitness be the catalyst that starts your journey.

Review №16

I have no idea why people are complaining about prices...obviously these people do not take health as their number one priority which is the catalyst to everything else in your life. As a physician assistant I see first hand how an unhealthy lifestyle and no exercise can have detrimental affects on your life. Im extremely grateful for Catalyst Fitness. They are knowledgeable in regards to nutrition, exercises tailored to my body/injuries, and the environment is inclusive and very family oriented. I LOVE coming in for my workout, my back pain is gone, and I’m living my best life! This is a lifestyle and if you are not willing to invest in your health then maybe this is not for you. Get up, show up, and do something good for yourself! Join Catalyst...TRUST ME! You will see a life changing difference. Not only do I feel great, I look fantastic! Thank you Anthony, Nick, Autumn, and Zach!

I am blown away by the progress I have made a catalyst! As a busy real estate broker I needed help getting myself back on track physically! Im down 65 lb and 15% body fat and I feel incredible! I want to thank Zack and John, my coaches, for changing my life and Autumn for giving me amazing nutritional advice! You owe it to yourself to give this place a shot of changing your life too!

Review №19

I’ma newbie, today was my third day. Came across their FB challenge. Was skeptical but looking for something like this so checked it out. TOTALLY LEGIT!!! Nick’s intake interview and physical assessment and Anthony’s nutritional assessment were excellent. And Autumn and Nick’s (different Nick!) workouts were both well prepped with excellent individual oversight. All the clients I met in the 2 small classes were friendly, very engaged, and has been coming 9 months-4 years, which is a great testimonial in itself. I have a few physical issues and they are all over it. I’m pumped! 💪🎉🎯🙌

Ive been working out with Catalyst Fitness for 6 months. The energy and professionalism experienced here has surpassed all other gyms. Zack is my primary trainer and does an excellent job in motivating and overseeing all exercises. Catalyst Fitness has done a great job of creating a family experience.

Review №22

Anthony is an awesome trainer who is full of enthusiasm, humor, heart and concern for his clients. He motivates you to deliver your best; yet he is quick to recognize an injury or specific weakness you may have and works with you to accommodate the injury or strengthen the weakness. Bottom line: You will look forward to your workouts; even if you’re a little sore or under the weather. I’m confident he will continue to surround himself with like-minded trainers at Catalyst Fitness. I wish that we didn’t move so far away that we would spend much more time commuting to the gym than actually working out.

Review №23

Catalyst Fitness is terrific. In the past 4 months I have achieved great results with my trainers’ support and guidance. The combination of the workouts along with the nutrition guidance have helped me to get into shape, lose some weight and feel better in a relatively short period of time. I highly recommend Catalyst Fitness for anyone looking to get back into shape.

I have been able to lose more body fat and gain more muscle this year at Catalyst than I have in the last 15 years with personal trainers. What a fun environment with personal support! I want to come to the gym! Class times work for everyone’s schedule and I have made some great friends here. I lost weight by eating more. You owe it to yourself to give this a try!!!

Review №28

I have read the negative reviews and understand everyone has their own journey, I decided to give this place a try and could not be happier. Change starts with YOU. If you put the time in, if you put the effort in, if you stay committed, your body will change. The way you think about food will change and you will become stronger and better. These people know what they are talking about, and I couldn’t be happier I made the leap of faith. Is it expensive.. yes. BUT it’s worth it. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Change is in you. You can blame everyone else, but true change is up to you.

When I met the guys from catalyst fitness I was on the brink of never joining another gym again.I had worked out for all my life but recently I encountered several injuries that did not allow me to perform in the gym.I was at the point when I told myself “maybe I should work out or maybe work it out it’s not for me” I have a physical job so when I injured myself in the gym I couldn’t work.That is a hotel I met the guys from catalyst fitness.I enjoyed the fact that they focus on proper biomechanicsAnd a functional movement. The first day they did a full assessment of really figure out what was going on with my body and how they can help. Within one month of being with them I about 10 pound body fat And didn’t lose anybody mess. My body just faster stronger in our pain and I was very excited about the future.

I went when I was in the worst shape of my life and the routines and training made me feel like I was still athletic and pushed me to new limits. Great vibe, great attitude, great team. If you go in with the mindset that youll do anything to change thats the result youll get. The team is very receptive to feedback and individual needs.

Catalyst fitness is great! Positive, motivating environment with trainers who really know what they’re talking about! I also previously trained with cofounder Anthony before he made the move to go out on his own and can speak to his natural ability and expertise in working with both clients and trainers. They know what they’re doing at catalyst and I’d highly recommend anyone to at least drop by and see for yourself.

My first two visits, I thought this is easy, how can it make a difference.. 8 weeks later I have lost 6 lbs of body fat and gained 2 pounds of muscle... oh and on week two I broke my arm! And the team still worked with me and helped me get progress... and feeling no pains in the rest of my 50 year old body. Lots of support, knowledge and outcomes at Catalyst Fitness!

For a person who didnt like to excersise I love this place. They gave me confidence I never had in a gym. I am stronger I can move better and the results are noticeable. Its individual attention with a team atmosphere...Zack has completely changed my mind. Hes professional, knowledgeable and his sense of humor puts me at ease . He makes me want to try harder. Anthony, Nic and Autumn have all been professional and genuinely nice.Now get off the couch and visit Catalyst.

I started to go to Catalyst fitness when I was recovering after two spinal surgeries, I was weak and had a fear of working out and hurting myself. I never regret that choice.I trust my trainer Zakh Landry who’s knowledge and support made me a different person. I feel stronger and motivated to continue this path with Catalyst fitness. This place has it all for a people with health issues : individual approach, attention to details, knowledge and patience.Thank you!

I have been coming to Catalyst for just over 7 months now. Never thought I would have lasted that long but the results I have gotten keep me coming back for more. I have lost just under 10% body fat and have gained 11 lbs. of muscle! Couldnt have achieved this without the knowledgeable staff here! Highly recommend!!

Review №46

I am going to make my best attempt at a comprehensive and unfiltered review of this operation (with some fear of backlash from the owners, who it appears have a propensity to verbally come after anyone who makes a less-than-stellar remark about their business. I even felt some of this anxiety-inducing hostility when I attempted to cancel my membership per the strictly enforced rules of the operation... They just really dont want to take no for an answer, or hear feedback that may be antithetical to what they believe about their business). In any case, here are the pros: 1) two excellent trainers (John and Zack) who members interact with on a daily basis have great attitudes and do a good job of running the 50 to 60 minute class, which varies across three templates weekly (but did not vary from these three templates whatsoever during the six months of my membership). 2) Paying $170 per week for two classes forced my butt to show up, which is a big deal for me since I am not always self-motivated to work out. 3) The group setting was cool, I met new people every week, but also saw familiar faces with whom I developed a rapport during workouts.The cons: 1) When I came for my initial consultation with Anthony (one of the two owners who was, at the time, also responsible for sales), I had an hour-long session with him where I poured out my soul on my weight issues and - no joke - ended up crying in the session. The session was more like emotional therapy than fitness training, and the pitch (changing peoples lives) was designed to make me think that I was purchasing a comprehensive emotional, nutritional, physical fitness program. However, let me be clear, this is NOT much more than a workout program. And a redundant one at that. I was resentful during my 6 month membership because I felt I had been sold a dream that was very different from execution. In essence, the salesman was a charlatan, and I had been duped. 2) The nutrition piece is an absolute joke. Members are told first to record their food on MyFitnessPal or on paper. Then they are told to design themselves a regurgitated, same-for-everyone calorie or macro based meal plan based on an acceptable food list. And then eat that every day. First of all, if I could just be told what to eat and do it on auto-pilot, I wouldnt be spending $340 a month for help. Second of all, this strategy doesnt cater to the fact that we each have unique relationships with food that require distinct, case-by-case approaches. Body composition is 80% diet. The program at this price needs have a tailored focus on food and have accountability tracking. On a related note, when I began the program, my nutrition consultant was Nick (the second owner). Then I guess he had better things to do so he replaced himself with another staff member, Autumn. Worst decision. See #3. 3) The program includes monthly check-ins to measure body composition and discuss progress. Autumn runs this part and is disengaged, half-hearted, lackadaisical, and has little follow up with clients. I had to remind her to schedule checkups. Basically theres a machine you stand on and it spits out results (with questionable accuracy) and that is that. I saw no change in six months and I know several other clients who experienced the same. At the end of the day, RESULTS are what matter. 4) I got a neck injury halfway through the program due to not stretching the area enough. Anthony would not let me pause my membership. So instead, my subsequent 3 weeks of workouts were stretching.In summary: at this price, classes should be less generic and smaller, and the nutrition component should be stronger. The team that runs this joint needs professionalization and maturity. Hopefully theyll take this feedback and do something productive with it rather than chew me out. They should care less about money, and so egregiously. They should be more authentic. Do yourself a favor and join Orange Theory or get a personal trainer instead.

Trick you first day into a membership that’s hard to get out. Same workout every time u go there same routine same pattern. Very expensive gym for nothing. I told them I wouldn’t keep coming and the drama started by sending me to collections. I paid for all the time I was there. It just I didn’t want to keep going anymore and I got bored fast of same pattern. The owner is so fake! SCAM

When I first started I was in bad shape. I was confined to a wheelchair prior to signing. Zack is my trainer and is excellent. After six months I was up and about getting stronger everyday. I have continued to train at the gym and feel blessed for making that first phone contact. I am extremely happy with the workout.

Review №51

My time working out was all good, nothing negative to say in regards to that but after talked into 6 month membership instead of the 3 month I originally wanted they continued to charge $186 twice a month. For an already expensive group workout they have no issue charging you for a service you no longer attend or signed up for. Never any mention of why I was paying for something I wasn’t using. I asked to put my membership on hold at 5 months but was told I couldn’t do that unless it was for surgery. I knew I had a month left and realized i may be forfeiting a month. The holidays came and went and yes i received a couple of text asking how i was and that I was missed, its just too bad there was no mention that I would continue to be charged if I didnt sign a cancellation. It’s really sad there are people out there that don’t care enough and take people’s money without concern or no mention of such. Oh wait, so remember and be wary because they state they will put you on a month to month basis after your MEMBERSHIP PERIOD ends so make sure to remember what you sign up for whether its 3 months, 6 months or even a year later so you too dont get screwed. Hope everyone has a really great memory because they wont be reaching out to remind you that you will continue to be charged. Most places you sign up indefinitely until you cancel and its valid for 30 days there after to use so at $10,$20 or $30 a month, that is manageable. At $372 a month I say poor business in the worst way!! Who wouldnt want to be over paid for a service you are not having to provide..... Sign me up, ha! Not wanting to take any ownership in any of this or compromise is not the way to promote or keep business. I’m glad you have plenty of members that leave for months and don’t care they still pay for a service you are not providing but I do not want waste hard earned money like that. If that was the case I’d drive down the road and throw it out the window. You should really think about changing some business practices and post something stating how memberships work and your cancellation policy so as you clients come in on a daily basis that can see and read that reminder and disclosure and then you wont have disgruntled clients.

Everytime I come here i get an incredible workout. The staff always treats you like family, the energy and vibe is always positive. The trainers are very uplifting and supportive, sometimes I come tired, unmotivated and stressed out but I always leave happy and satisfied. They also design meal plans for you to make it a lifestyle. You will get the complete package deal here, family, fun, workouts and meeting all kinds of members that will push you into a new & better version of yourself. I am grateful to be a member and I highly recomend them to anyone looking to lose weight, put on muscle, feel better and gain your confidence back. Thanks Anthony for always believing in me, even when others didnt.Jose Nodal

BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWAREDOUBLE UPDATE: THE OWNER HAS CONTINUED WITH INSULTING TEXT UNTIL I HAVE HAD TO THREATEN CALLING THE POLICE -UPDATE : AFTER MY CANCELATION OCCURRED DUE TO ALL THIS THE OWNER TEXT ME BACK ( NEVER HAS SPOKEN TO ME ) INSULTING ME THAT HE KNEW I WASNT A GOOD FIT ANYWAYS I DIDNT HAVE THE ENERGY! BTW I WORK OUT TWICE A DAY!!! SO IF YOU DONT DO THEIR PROGRAM THEY BECOME VERY RUDE AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND INSULTING!!!Original review: WOW. Called about joining and received So many emails and text it was unreal ... I had to turn my phone off at work it was so much! Then after all that I was 100% stood up - wasting my entire lunch break - and of course no call or text! I finally got a call responding to my email asking what happened. I got some excuse the person who was to call was sick. Why not text or email me that then so I did waste my lunch hour?! You had already sent me at least a Dozen?! It continues ...Then the next day they call me super early but I felt bad being rude the day before so I accepted the invite for a consult ( plus I’m serious about pulling it together ) Now I’m receiving the text and emails again ... not so much but more than enough ( no one needs 5/10 reminders! )Here’s the best part - they set me up with the owner for my consult for 8am today. He text me from his phone ( on top of the auto messages ) AFTER MIDNIGHT telling me he’s just finishing his day and will see me this morning! Who text a professional person at that hour? From your personal cell when I am bombarded with text from the auto message again starting 6/7am!!!I feel that they have 0 respect for anyone’s time but only focus on their own goal of getting clients - for this reason alone I never went to the appointment. Plus the fact that I now have a 10hr high stress Corp job to go to with less than 6hrs sleep due to phone harassment!SO BEWARE
