Our Success Stories
Here you will find a few of the many success stories of Catalyst Fitness! We will be continually adding more in the coming months!
Mark Dayton, RN
I brought my kids to Catalyst Fitness to further their
athletic goals and besides who wants a lumpy kid? The transformation of my 15
year old daughter Sydney and my 17 year old son Alex was startling. Through
individually tailored work out programs and expert instruction my kids got off
the couch and became active athletes both are now leaders on their sports
teams. Their confidence and physical ability have increased to the point that
they are no longer content to just watch the play of team mates but now want to
be in the heart of the action.
After having seen the success my kids have had at Catalyst
Fitness. I decided to try them for weight loss with some success so far. I have
lost 10 pounds and have kept it off despite a hectic schedule and a lifetime of
poor eating habits. I have stabilized my blood sugars and do not require
insulin and my blood pressure has gotten a lot better too! I have worked as a
Registered Nurse for over 20 years mostly in rehabilitation and I knew a lot
about physical therapy and exercise. I have been impressed with the breadth and
depth of the expertise of the staff and all of them are warm and caring
professionals. I checked out a lot of gyms and therapists before a coaching
friend recommended Catalyst Fitness. The first day I walked in I knew I had
found the best work out in Fort Wayne.

"Being able to work with Catalyst Fitness this summer was a great opportunity to work on individual things that we wouldn't necessarily get to work on during a season. Catalyst is a great environment to work out in and I would definitely do it again if given the chance."

Dear Jason,
As we near the end of the first stage of my fitness program I wanted to drop you a note telling you how pleased I am with the results. Since I began last January I have lost 23 pounds, feel better and am easily lifting double to triple the amount of weight that I started lifting. I consider the program an excellent success and my time and money, well spent.
Some specifics:
* One enjoys the professional, yet very cordial environment, at Catalyst. Everyone involved in the organization is always friendly and helpful. They greet you with a smile and are always willing to help you out.
* Time is taken at the beginning of the program to do a complete assessment, in writing, of the individual's needs and a plan is developed to lead the personal trainer and the client through the program.
* Your time is YOUR time. The trainer working with you makes you the focus of your hour. They are not leaving to answer a phone, speak to another client, etc. every 10 minutes.
* In my case I worked the first month or so with you and then one of the two days each week with Ashley. I felt Ashley was well trained and very competent and had spent time preparing for my workout by staying current with my charts. In addition, I knew that you were monitoring closely my progress and had overall supervision of my progress in weights and reps, as well as the set of exercises for the day.
*I see improvement in the center every week. From additional personnel to new equipment to new locker room facilities to the new program offerings, there are many cutting edge and innovative changes in place and on the horizon.
* One is not exposed to a sales pitch or pressured to upgrade to something every visit as is often the case in larger, less personal, clubs. Your personnel have always been flexible and extremely accommodating, even on short notice, to my changing schedule and able to reschedule an appointment for my convenience.
To say the least, my experience with Catalyst has been positive. It is an experience I would be more than willing to share with anyone who is considering Catalyst for their training and fitness needs.
I am looking forward to our continued interaction in the upcoming months.

have gained increased muscle tone and greatly improved stamina.I have also gained a good friend—my trainer."

asthma, and I have been off of it without any major problems for almost a
month.I also have more energy."

the focus on giving people the tools they need to achieve their fitness goals."

"The single factor which
distinguishes Catalyst from other facilities is the personal factor; that is,
personal attention to my workouts and goals, including nutrition issues.All staff know me personally and are
genuinely concerned about my plan and progress."

"Since I have started at Catalyst Fitness, I feel much better. I have noticed that my pants are fitting much more loosely around my waist and I have gone from a size 22 to a size 18 in a short period of time. I have more energy and feel better overall. The workout environment at Catalyst is professional and the staff is always willing to answer questions and help out. They are there to push you further than you think you can go, but don't let you overdo it. They encourage you every step of the way and always tell what a good job you are doing. Catalyst Fitness is a great place to go!"
