Bio
Bervin
Co-Founder and General Manager
Bervin co-founded Catalyst Performance in 2025 and runs the business as General Manager, with the P&L, operations and coaching standards under him. He spent more than a decade in the fitness industry before that, finishing as a District General Manager at PURE Fitness, where he ran memberships, personal training and food and beverage across multiple clubs. From the inside he saw how a volume-first commercial model underserves clients who are serious about their long-term health. Catalyst was built as a direct response to that gap.
He co-designed the 4-Pillar Assessment with Dr Luqman Haris and Jeremy Soh, the protocol every member is measured and re-tested against: body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, stability and strength. He also built the Healthspan Audit, the online version that sits in front of it. Over 1,000 people in Singapore have now taken it, and the anonymised results are what the studio's published healthspan research runs on.
The studio tracks the markers that predict the next 30 years rather than the next 12 weeks: Skeletal Muscle Index, Waist to Height Ratio, Heart Rate Recovery and Grip Strength. The look still comes with the work. It is a stop on the journey rather than the destination. Bervin coaches busy professionals aged 30 to 50, post-injury and post-rehabilitation clients, and people investing in health they intend to keep for decades.
