Our story

We built the gym we wanted to train in.

Catalyst is a training facility with one goal in mind: your results.

Why we exist

Built around results.

Catalyst is a coaching-focused facility. Strength, pilates, and small group sessions sit on one floor under one coaching philosophy, because that is the work that actually moves people forward. Coaches programme the sessions, run them, and know the people in them. Equipment, schedule, even the way the floor is set up, all of it exists to make that coaching better.

How we think about training

Train smart. Stay strong. Live well.

Train smart

Coached for the body you turned up with.

Programming that respects your training age and your week. We coach the lift you're doing today and protect the one you'll need at sixty.

Stay strong

Strength is the foundation. Everything else builds on it.

Your back at fifty. Your knees at sixty. Your independence at seventy. The barbell sits at the centre of the gym for a reason.

Live well

The gym should fit your life, not take it over.

Forty five minutes, three or four times a week, programmed properly. Enough for almost everyone. We make the rest of your life easier.

Our values

What we believe. How it shows up on the floor.

Most gyms are built for people who already know what they're doing. We built Catalyst differently. Every session has purpose, progress is personal, and the room lifts together.

01

Empowerment. Every level belongs.

An inclusive floor where everyone's first session is somebody's first session. Coaches on the floor when you want them. A room that takes you seriously, whatever level you're at, however you train.

02

Excellence. We want you to succeed.

We measure ourselves on your results. Whatever you came here for, that's the brief. Coached sessions are programmed properly, capped at twelve, and run on time. The bar is set on the floor so you can hit yours.

03

Community. Stronger together.

Training is more powerful with a room behind you. Connection, accountability, the small wins celebrated and the bigger ones compounded. A strong community makes stronger individuals.

The founders

Two people, one gym.

JJ runs the coaching. Siobhan runs the rest. We met in the industry, married in the middle of opening, and built Catalyst the way we wished gyms had been built for us.

Co-founder · Managing Director

JJ.

JJ leads Catalyst and the fitness and coaching side. Programming, mentoring the team, running the floor. He still coaches PT clients five days a week.

He believes the best training is the kind you can keep doing for thirty years, not thirty days. Heavy enough to matter. Smart enough to come back to. Coached for the body you've actually got, not the one a programme assumes.

Co-founder · General Manager

Siobhan.

Siobhan is co-founder and General Manager of Catalyst, and a coach with a specialty in pre and postnatal training. She runs the operations and member experience side of the gym, and coaches the clients she has built her work around.

Her coaching is for women whose lives have changed faster than their training has. Pregnancy, postnatal, and the years that follow. The work is sustainable, motivation led, and aimed at clients actually enjoying the process of getting strong again.

The Catalyst team

Your team that wants you to succeed.

Specialties cover strength and conditioning, physio, reformer and mat pilates, pre and post natal training, and senior fitness.
