Most personal training in Singapore optimises for fatigue and soreness. The four pillars Catalyst measures are body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, stability, and strength.
Healthspan is the number of years you live in good health, not just the number of years you live. Here's what it means, why it matters, and what to do about it.

We use German Body Composition principles without turning training into a suffer fest. Full body supersets with short rests and coached tempo to get more work done per minute, while protecting joints and building real-world performance.
Five years ago I couldn't run 2 km. Now I've finished 26 half marathons, 4 full marathons, and 2 ultras. Here's how to start running and stay consistent.
