CTS has been part of my life since August 2017 when I decided to participate in the Six Week Challenge. I will admit I initially felt mislead when the FREE Training AD I answered no Facebook had a small disclaimer not mentioned until I arrived to speak with the owner Gary. Due to Garys passion, promise and reasoning regarding the buy-in for the six weeks I chose to take the chance. I put up $500 up front with the promise that I would get the $500 back if I met my goal of losing 6% body fat in 6 weeks. I killed it. The meal plan was super easy to understand and execute, and came with over 50 amazing recipes. The 30 minute works out were intense and challenging and made me sweat as much as my former hour plus workouts. Finally, the support I received from the owner Gary, the other coaches, and the other members of the Tribe was unbelievable. I lost 7.3% body fat in 6 weeks, lost 11 pounds, and made some great friends along. the way. The 6 week challenge is a great format and I have brought many friends to try it out with great success. Gary is compassionate and knows each of our stories and our why and reminds us of it when he thinks we need some extra motivation. Josh is one of the coaches and he is out of this world. His ability to modify exercises within workouts per individuals strengths challenges me each and every workout. His passion for fitness and for people improving their lives shines through with each and every interaction. It is a great place to get that initial push to make changes and just as good of a place to continue that journey. Definitely come check it out.
I love this place.. it’s so much more then a gym. It’s a Tribe of people who all want the same goal and help each other achieve it. I’m the girl who will sign up at a gym and never go, but this program is so different! Trainers who actually care and owners who actually participate and encourage!! I’m down almost 30lb and I don’t intend to stop!! This gym saved my life. If you want to be healthy and change your life for the better, this place is it!!
This place is absolutely incredible. I was definitely skeptical at first as most things they always seem to good to be true but after the first week I knew this was a place I was going to love. The owner is fantastic and the coaches are so supportive and upbeat. Everyone supports and encourages each other!! I would recommend this gym to all my friends
I did the 6 week challenge and had amazing results. I was sceptical and worried about paying the refundable deposit, yes refundable, but Im glad I did!! The people in the class, the trainers, the owner, all amazing people. It felt more like a tribe then a gym. We all support each other, hold each other accountable, and push each other to do the best we can. I lost 23.4 pounds and lost 7.1% body fat in 6 weeks!! I didnt even think I had that much weight to lose starting out at 183.2 pounds!! I followed the diet and work out plan to a t. I never cheated and held myself accountable until the very end. I still have a membership to this gym and go 3 times a week.I would totally recommend this gym, particularly this program, to anyone that wants a life changing experience. Ive been a member of all the big news gyms and smaller ones too, and havent found a better place to call my home. You want a place to go work hard, meet new people and get fit doing. Check out this gym!!
The free 6 week program actually requires a $599 deposit. I filled out a survey from their advertisement on Facebook and I received text messages that were not forthcoming about the offer. I was initially invited to come visit the gym in person, but I wanted to know more before just showing up. I asked directly What am I signing up for? The most amazing and awesome program ever known to any living human being!... um okay that doesnt really answer the question. Price depends on what is the best option for you... again not very helpful. they have a high amount of 5 star reviews, but the few 1 and 2 star reviews are telling. One review said the free 6 week course required a $500 deposit and you only get it back if you meet the goals they set for you. Smells fishy. They reached back out to me a few days later via text. I asked them directly is this free 6 week course going to require a $500 deposit. Actually its $599 and they do that because the results are much better when people have skin in the game. Any company that has to resort to deceptive sales tactics probably doesnt have the best product to offer.
Great workouts! I did the 6-week challenge, and they do require a $599 deposit. It was very difficult to reach the goal, but in the end it all worked out - I met the goal/got the deposit back. I really enjoyed the workouts, plus the trainers and the owner are very nice and motivating! I recommend a membership to this gym over the 6-week challenge. If I had the money Id join!

I joined Catalyst Training Systems back in 2016. I fell in love with the gym and the clients immediately. I loved it so much that in 2018 I became part owner. Words cant describe the family atmosphere, the support you get and our trainers are amazing. We give you exercise, nutrition and accountability.We have the best clients at our gym!!
I accepted the challenge. True-the money needed to put down was a lot for me. But it was the ultimate motivation to make the life/health changes that I needed. Gary, Cory, and Josh are all great to work with. The classes are small and they kick your butt EVERY time. Its a great system with nutrition, excercise, and accountability. If you want to push yourself and get farther, stronger, and leaner than youve ever been-this is the place! I love coming. And best of all- I lost 25lbs and 5.9%body fat in 6 weeks! Catalyst helps you get great results! I recommend Catalyst Training Systems to everyone.
Im using my husband Google account since I dont have a Google email (I know shocking). This gym is great. I completed the 6 week challenge and decided to join. The trainers are supportive and knowledgeable. The owner is friendly and easy to reach. I love that the group classes are just 30 minutes (which fits into any schedule) but you feel like you got a great workout. Emily Macauley
They really are more personalized than a big box gym and are very pushy about it. I get they are in the motivation game but I almost felt I couldnt leave without putting some money down towards their 6 week program. They advertise as free but its really a $500 deposit that u can earn back if you lose 20lbs or 6% body fat. That wouldnt be a bad deal but I was in no way prepared to make that kind of deposit or any kind! I felt pressured to give them $50 to hold my spot even though I wasnt certain I wanted a spot, really I left the deposit so that I could leave. Maybe Ill join a big box gym and maybe Ill never go proving their point but it still wont cost me 500$
Catalyst Training Systems is a personalized venue that really makes you feel at home. The owner is always on top of it and really cares about your success. I would recommend this gym to a friend!
I never thought i would enjoy a gym class... after my first class I felt sick. I survived the second class and was encouraged to return. During the third class I fought to hold back tears. After that it was great! ;) The classes were fun, easy for all levels and they really worked! Defiantly enjoyed my experience!
In 6 weeks I went from 192 lbs to 166.8 lbs, and they helped me become stronger at the same time! Notice the 1 and 2 star reviews are from people that did NOT even attempt the challenge. I just finished the challenge today and it was literally life changing. I learned a ton about nutrition, about fitness, and about myself. I believe if any person takes on the challenge (Including following the eating plan -they provide you with a very simple to understand and follow outline-, showing up to the workouts and giving your honest best effort, and taking their advice on rest and recovery) you WILL be successful. And yes the free part is conditional on you meeting the goal.. but I did not mind at all betting on myself.. met the goal, and as advertised... it cost me zero $. If you are reading this and serious about doing something radical to improve your body inside and out... take the challenge, give CTS 6 weeks.. you will be glad you did.
Friendly, upbeat staff. Flexible diet program when you do the 6 week challenge. A great way to get back on the wagon if youve fallen off the fitness train or to start finding your fit for the first time ever. The price of the 6 week challenge felt a little high to keep going after 6 weeks but the life tools I walked away with were worth every penny.
I am one of the most skeptical and antithetical people I know. I went to the orientation and felt a little uneasy about paying up front and earning it back, but knew I had to do something that would jump start my path to a healthier me; physically, emotionally, and mentally. Having the three pieces of success to follow, along with Gary and his teams guidance and encouragement, helped me to succeed in losing 21 pounds in 6 weeks! The workouts were short, intense and doable, and combined with the right food combinations and just showing up 3 times a week, I am feeling great. Whenever I had a question, it was answered quickly and thoroughly. Though its not the most important thing, Im also looking a whole lot better in my clothes! This system works if you do your part: dont eat stuff that is not on the list of approved combos, show up for the three workouts a week for fun and energizing workout, and be accountable to yourself! I lost the weight, I got my money back-so it was a free challenge, and I will be back to join the program to lose the next 20 lbs in August!
Great classes. I met some great people. This made the classes more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for results CTS is the place for you. Gary and his staff know what they are talking about. They take the time to listen to your goals and do everything they can to help you achieve them. I have personally lost over 35lbs in the last 4.5 months doing the CTS workouts. More than losing the weight though I’ve gained confidence, a renewed since of self and overall health. I can’t recommend them enough!
Catalyst training systems is hands down the best program out there :-) the owner, the facility and the trainers are top quality and the 6 week program rocks!!
I absolutely love this place im finally seen actual results. Its not easy its challeging everytime i come in and that what i like the most you really feel your workout love it love it
I started at CTS in October 2017 wasn’t sure it would work I have tried many gyms before. Never to loose that much weight and paid much more than this for personal trainers at less expense gyms over the years! It took me a year to loose 10 pounds before CTS. I have a hard time loosing weight. I am glade I Lost 20 pounds in in 6 weeks. The six week challenge diet is easy to follow and a lot more food than I was use to. I continued at CTS afterwards and have now lost over 40 pounds. I went from walking most of a 5k to be able to run a whole 15k without stopping. I made my goal of running a 1/2 marathon. Will soon be off my diabetes pills. My thyroid pill also has been reduced. The owner Gary is awesome and so are the trainers Cory and Thien. Everyone is fun to workout with. The 1/2 hour trainings get you moving and fun! I will be continuing going to this gym.
Signed up via Facebook on an add claiming that it was a 6 week free fitness and nutrition course, however its not free. Its a $599 deposit upfront, and the sales/intake people were very pushy. They texted me 9 times in 3 days multiple texts each day reminding me that it was a limited time offer and to make sure Im on time. Well I was on time, and 2 other women showed up. The guy was friendly enough but when I asked about how much the class cost they were not forth coming until the end of the orientation(approx 30min). They offered the option of paying a $599 deposit with the chance to win it back if you loose 20lbs, or 6%body fat in 6weeks. Or a flat fee of $396 with no potential to win it back. Im not sure if the buisness is ligitamite, or not Im not an expert, but what I can say is the other reviews saying that they want a giant deposit is true. If this is what your looking for the here it is but I personally couldnt afford to fork out $600 for a class that was supposed to be free when the UO charges $100 for 2times a week for 10 weeks.
Scam. Scam. Scam.
