Coaches
Every coach holds a current certification and trains under the same evidence-based system. Personal trainers, performance specialists, movement therapists, one playbook.
Quick answer
Catalyst Performance is staffed by certified personal trainers, performance specialists, a doctor of medicine, and movement therapists. Every coach trains under the same evidence-based 4-Pillar Healthspan method, with backgrounds spanning strength coaching, post-injury rehabilitation, endurance sport, and clinical assessment.
Founders
Catalyst Performance was founded by three operators with complementary edges: Bervin Manoharan (former commercial-gym General Manager, now General Manager at Catalyst), Jeremy Soh (HYROX podium athlete, Head of Performance and Operations), and Dr. Luqman Haris (MBBS, Head of Training Systems). Combined: 25+ years of coaching, 15,000+ client hours, and over a hundred trainers mentored.

Founder Q&A
Bervin Manoharan spent over a decade inside Singapore's commercial-gym industry, leaving as a General Manager, and now runs the Catalyst studio. Jeremy Soh is a HYROX podium athlete with three podium finishes, leading performance and operations. Dr. Luqman Haris is an MBBS-trained medical doctor leading training systems. All three hold current personal training certifications stacked on top of those careers.
The fitness industry rewards quick fixes and short-term aesthetics; Catalyst was built as the alternative. The founders started it to train clients for healthspan, the years of life spent in good functional and cognitive health, with quarterly four-pillar reassessment, software they built in-house, and a personal Healthspan Score. Performance meets purpose, not transformation theatre.
