Blue Zones

Blue Zones are areas where people have a higher chance of living longer, healthier lives due to a combination of factors like diet, exercise, and strong community connections. We can create our own Blue Zone around ourselves and our families and our circle of friends. But will we?

What to Do Between Workouts

Your workouts at Catalyst are the stimulus for better fitness. But you actually improve BETWEEN workouts, when your body supercompensates.

New Year, New You? Why Waiting for January Could Set You Back

As the year winds down and the holiday feasts wind up, it’s tempting to put your fitness and nutrition goals on pause. After all, January 1st seems like the perfect clean slate for all our health ambitions, right? Not quite. If you’re considering a break until the New Year, you may be setting yourself up for a tougher climb back to where you are now. Here’s why maintaining your health regimen through the holiday season is not just good for your body, but also for your spirit, and can set you apart from the crowd when the New Year’s resolutions rush begins.

Why This Is The BEST Time To Start At Catalyst

Imagine walking into the holiday season with a spring in your step, feeling stronger, healthier, and with a community that supports your fitness journey.

How to Survive a Heart Attack

Watching hockey at the GFL last night, I saw several parents loudly berating the referees and their own kids. In each case, the parent appeared to have all the risk factors for a heart attack.

The irony is that, if they took time every week to do the things they were yelling at their kids:

“Go hard!”

“Get in there!”

“Get after it!”

…they’d improve their own fitness, reduce their stress AND survive a heart attack if it happened.

What you eat (or don’t eat)

When you eat (or don’t’ eat)

How much you eat.
