FEATURED SUCCESS STORY
My name is Whitney and I work from home for Catalyst Health as a clinical reviewer. I started strength training with Stephanie via Zoom in July 2025. As a bit of background... I have been battling my weight since childhood and have over the years lost nearly 300 pounds (my highest weight being 550 pounds). When I started with Stephanie, I had been stuck in my weight loss cycle, gaining and losing the same few pounds over the last several years. I was also experiencing stiffness and soreness from sitting so long at my sedentary job. Being middle-aged and peri-menopausal have also been major roadblocks for me. Stephanie has worked with me to increase my flexibility, strength, and overall health, and in the process I've been able to lose nearly 30 pounds over the last 4 or 5 months. It has brought new hope and life to my weight loss journey, and I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to participate in this right from the comfort of my home. Fit4Work and Stephanie have been a blessing for me and I hope to continue making great progress!

“Hi! My name is Bryn Booth and I work as a Revenue Specialist at Catalyst.
I've had great progress with Stephanie. When I started, I wasn't eating enough calories or protein, but now as Stephanie has helped me increase my protein, I've seen a lot of changes in my body. My muscle mass has increased and so have my energy levels.
I've had a few injuries in my time, and because of those, I tend to favor one knee over the other, engage my traps instead of my lats, etc. And before I had a really hard time with exercises involving my lower core, but Stephanie helped me find where I was overcompensating in muscles groups that weren't the intended target. My mobility has increased significantly and I'm waking up with less pain and soreness now that the right muscles are being engaged.
One of the hard things working a desk job is the negative impact it can have to your health, but having this be a perk of the company helps me to stay on track with my nutrition and exercise.”

“My name is Luis Jimenez, I've been with Catalyst since 2015, and I am a Reporting & Analytics Specialist. My personal progress has been tremendous. My weight was 281.5 pounds, my BMI 42.8 and PBF 40.6 %, very unhealthy. My current weight is 202.2 pounds and my PBF is 17.0%. My mobility has been transformed from aching knees and no mobility to be very active and no pain on my knees. My muscle mass has increased as well, I remembered that I started with the 25 lb. dumbbells for bench press and now I can do reps of 205lbs. This training has changed my life forever, I have more conscious of what I put into my body and try to keep a good balance meals, I would not call it a diet since I do eat well, just with better choices on the quality of food I take. My goal was to be under 200 pounds and from that point, make another goal. I am close to that goal and I am getting excited in what comes next.

Personal training became a benefit we introduced to our team in 2023, initially offered only to our in-office employees. After a year of great success, we began receiving feedback from remote team members who were eager to participate as well. We approached Tony to explore the possibility of expanding the program, and he not only embraced the idea—he hired two additional trainers. Thanks to his support and initiative, we successfully launched remote training in 2025. I began working with Tony in August 2024. At the time, I had recently returned to work after having my third child and was recovering from a severe ankle fracture that required surgery and ten weeks of non–weight bearing, followed by six months of physical therapy. When I restarted training with Tony seven months post-surgery, I carried a lot of fear and hesitation around reinjuring my ankle. Tony has been instrumental in rebuilding both my physical strength and my confidence. He is patient, attentive, and truly meets you where you are. His approach allowed me to progress at a pace that felt safe while still pushing me toward meaningful improvement.
Today, as I reflect on my journey, I can confidently say that I have met the strength-building goals I set when I first started working with him and I continue to challenge myself and expand my fitness goals. Tony and his team are exceptional—knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in the people they work with. I would highly recommend them to any business looking to offer personal training as a benefit to its team.

As I’ve continued with my exercise routine, I’ve seen a clear increase in my strength, and I’ve been feeling better overall. The positive changes have been both motivating and rewarding. My overall body fat to muscle has improved which is very exciting. I recently went on a mountain bike ride and noticed increased ability and balance.
Maintaining a regular workout routine has helped me stay more positive and energized throughout the workday.
This is a benefit that isn’t offered at most companies, and I am grateful and thankful that Catalyst places this kind of value on health and wellness and the effort to maintain the overall health of the team members. Catalyst does more than just talk; they put things into action to better their team members and ultimately the company overall.

In late 2023, my company announced the introduction of a wellness program, including healthier meal options, an in-office gym, and access to a personal trainer.
The on-site trainer tailors his approach to each individual, recognizing prior exercise experience, age, and mental wellbeing. Many associates have appreciated the company’s investment in helping them become their best selves, experiencing significant improvements in both physical and mental health.
With this holistic approach, I plan to continue this practice based on the personal gains I’ve experienced.

I can confidently say that Tony is very knowledgeable and knows how to make the workouts challenging yet tailored to your individual fitness levels. He holds you accountable to help you efficiently get the results you want to achieve!
