Equipment
Every piece of equipment in the studio was selected by Bervin, drawing on his experience opening multiple 20,000-30,000 sq ft gyms in Singapore. He knows what is genuinely useful for an individual's training experience and what is just noise, and he refuses to let the studio fill up with equipment that doesn't earn its place.
Most CBD gyms install commercial-grade equipment by the metre, the same Life Fitness racks, the same Technogym treadmills, the same standard plate-loaded machines you can find in any mainstream commercial gym. Useful. Indistinct. Catalyst's fit-out was specified piece by piece. What's on the floor is what Bervin actively chose to put on the floor. Every piece is a standout, none of it is filler from a supplier's bulk order.
Where redundancy matters, we have multiples. Where it doesn't, we don't pollute the space.
Majority of the fit-out is from Watson, chosen for their attention to detail in the manufacturing process and the uncompromising build quality. Made in the UK.
Niche performance equipment from Keiser, USA, pneumatic resistance for power and velocity-based training where traditional plates can't match the precision.
Designed for the work. Not for the photo.
Amenities
01
We don't run drop-ins, day passes, or open-floor hours. The space is private to whichever 1:1 sessions are running, and never busier than that.
02
Hot showers, bath towels, small towels, soap, and shampoo provided. Train before work, walk to the office.
03
Hand-picked Watson UK strength platforms and Keiser USA pneumatics. Nothing in the studio is filler. If it's on the floor, Bervin specified it.
04
Park on Level 5, walk to the gym in under a minute. Most CBD buildings make you transfer from the carpark lift to the main tower lift; we sit on the same floor as the parking. No transfer, no friction.
Inside
Branded amenities
Showers stocked with Catalyst-branded soap and shampoo. Bath towels and small towels provided. Train, shower, walk to your office without thinking about logistics.
Visiting
Q. 01
Telok Ayer MRT is in the basement of Manulife Tower. Take the escalator or lift up to the lobby, then the main tower lift to Level 5. The studio entrance is at unit #05-03.
Q. 02
Yes. The Manulife Tower carpark and our studio are both on Level 5. From the moment you park, it is under a minute to the studio. Most CBD buildings require a lift transfer between the carpark and the main tower; we don't.
Q. 03
Monday to Friday, 6am to 8pm. Saturday and Sunday, 8am to 2pm. As a private studio, sessions outside listed hours are possible by appointment. Book ahead so a coach is scheduled to receive you.
Q. 04
We don't run open-floor hours, drop-in tours, or day passes. The space is private to whichever 1:1 sessions are running. Book the free 30-minute online consultation first; the in-studio Catalyst Healthspan Assessment is the natural first visit and is also free.
Q. 05
A private gym, in the strictest sense. We don't sell memberships. We don't run open-floor hours. We don't allow drop-ins. The studio is private to whichever 1:1 sessions are running, and the coaches you train with are also the people who designed the programme you're running. The contrast with commercial CBD gyms is intentional, the layout, the equipment selection, and the booking model are all built around the personal training relationship rather than floor traffic.
