Retro StrengthThe History of Fitness in Sault Ste. Marie
There's a lot of history in this gym. Even before we were Catalyst, we spent a decade learning, researching, applying, and tuning our Coaching skills. And before that, the tradition of strength and conditioning in Sault Ste. Marie was already firm. We've been graced with some relics of earlier eras, and we'll be displaying them as functional museum pieces at the Park soon.
Catalyst is proud to carry on the tradition of the best fitness training in Sault Ste. Marie. The lessons of hard work won't be forgotten. Watch as the functional museum takes shape!


Catalyst Games 2011 will be the BIGGEST AND BEST ever! Thought we'd never be able to top last year? Consider these additions for 2011:

August OnRamp
This month on CatalystGym.com, you'll read stories about the success others have had. In some cases, the triumphs have been so amazing that you may think, "I could never do that myself…." That's what they said, too. 
OnRamp is our introduction to basic skills group. You'll learn to squat and do pushups; you'll also learn complicated Olympic lifts, like the Clean and Jerk. Intensity comes AFTER skills; build on a solid foundation!
This group is so popular that some people like to go through it TWICE or MORE…just to feel comfortable. The coaching is great; the workouts are fun; the group is all similar people. You can register here (or, if you're returning, take 50% off!)

In two days, I'll be headed to the desert to watch Teddy claim his crown. The CrossFit Games 2011 Masters' Events have been released already, and YOU can watch them live on ESPN3. More details on schedules, athletes, and events are here. I wouldn't be going without the amazing support of the Catalyst Family, who surprised me with the trip alongside Ted. THANK YOU ALL. It's an incredible honour. See you next week, hoarse and sunburned!
