WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"Not only has the programming been awesome, but the team atmosphere of the group and daily technical feedback from a coach of Greg's caliber has been awesome and beyond what I expected."
—Mike F.

"Working with Catalyst Athletics has been life changing for me. I have tried multiple online coaches in the past, but none have compared to the level of knowledge and expertise that Greg possesses. His programming is second to none, and I have seen significant improvements in my strength and technique since working with him. I have learned more from him than I ever thought possible."
—Bethany Z.

"This is easily the best decision I’ve ever made for my training."
—Marian W.

"After trying countless online programs and one-on-one coaching, I can confidently say that Catalyst Athletics programs surpass them all by a wide margin. Greg's hands-on feedback is truly unparalleled—something I haven't found anywhere else."
—Adem O.

"I receive great feedback on my lifts and encouragement from the rest of the team! I continue to see progress and PRs—I’m so happy I joined!"
—Christina R.

"By far the best (and best value) online weightlifting offering. You get a program that just makes sense, generous feedback from Greg himself, and you get to join a great online community."
—Ash J.

"This program has been exactly what I’ve needed. I have PRed everything since starting 10 months ago and my technique has improved dramatically. I feel so much stronger and more confident than when I started."
—Amanda P.

"Lifting better than ever. No nonsense, amazing feedback. Best weightlifting program I’ve found in 6 years."
—Josh M.

"I have never been happier with programming! I feel motivated, stronger, and smarter. Greg is the coolest coach and we have a great team!"
—Ana A.

"Greg has provided significantly better programming, feedback, and results than I received from my in-person coaches, whose experience and qualifications were not commensurate with their high prices."
—Kevin M.

"I was quite skeptical about online coaching when I first joined the team. But before the free 7-day trial was over, I was convinced. Greg is super professional, knows what he is talking about and the feedback is thorough and very helpful."
—Rebekka H.

"I feel less fatigued than with my previous programming, but am improving technique, gaining strength (and increasing lift PRs) more quickly. Above all: the feedback is REAL. Greg checks your videos and gives super useful feedback."
—Lot G.

"Joining has been a really positive turning point in my training. I’m amazed at the level of feedback I receive every week from Greg. Each cycle I have improved both technically and in my totals. I genuinely look forward to getting to the gym and submitting workouts whether it was a good or bad training day which is the hallmark of a genuinely great online program."
—Laura Z.

"The programs and feedback that Greg has provided allowed me to make more progress in the last 6 months than I have in the previous year before that. His programs are about as much fun as you can have from weightlifting, and the daily feedback allows for consistent improvements. All for a price point that is less than most generic programs, let alone video feedback."
—Scott C.

"Excellent programming! Easy to follow directions, plus videos for guidance. Coach and teammates give a great sense of community."
—Ben A.

"Expert programming in a format that is written to produce positive results regardless of your experience level. Highly recommended!"
—Charles A.

"The programming is amazing and so much fun. Greg always gives great feedback and everyone is so supportive."
—Fleur C.

"I have learned more in 5 months than I have in my previous 5 years lifting on my own. Thanks for the great programming, coaching and camaraderie."
—Jesse K.

"The program is excellent and thorough. Most importantly you get frequent and concise feedback from Greg himself who delivers cues and advice you can trust and you're also part of a friendly online community."
—Mimi C.

"Greg's online program really helps me dial in my technique, point out my deficiencies and gives great feedback, including videos that are directly focused on what I need to fix. I truly believe there is no other program that has as much value for such a modest monthly fee. You literally have one of the best coaches in the world reviewing your own personal videos and giving you feedback along the way.""
—Julio P.

"Using Catalyst Athletics online team has been huge for me. Not only has my form improved immensely, but I keep setting new PRs even at 49 years old."
—Jonathan W.

"I was new to weightlifting, and was intimidated and hesitant to join. It turned out to be the most encouraging place. Greg addresses our individual needs in his feedback, and provides further guidance. We train at our own level, and progress at our own pace, but together. The team is a 10/10!"
—Pei-Yu W.

"Dedicated world-class coaching in a supportive team environment, right at my fingertips in my own gym."
—Talia S.

"I've learned so much from Greg’s programming in just a few months! His program has an amazing combination of technique work with enough heavy days vs. lower volume days so I can bring my A game when needed. Plus you get awesome teammates too!"
—Helen L.

"So glad I finally smartened up and joined the Catalyst Athletics Stripped Team. I'm a busy mom but Greg's concise approach and allowing the 3x/week option has been doing wonders for my lifting while not stripping me of my time outside of lifting. I also love that everything is on one app, one less thing to worry about= more focused lifting. Couldn't recommend joining enough."
—Dani D.

"The stripped program has allowed me to push myself harder each training day while being able to maximize the rest needed to perform well each day. I have been able to comfortably hit heavy percentages on a regular basis and be more confident when it comes to attempting new PRs."
—Eric W.

"I really enjoy the program which is so well-constructed. I joined almost two years ago and feel stronger and more confident. It’s a great opportunity to receive such precious and precise feedback from Coach Greg."
—Fernanda K.

" "This program has been perfect for me (volume and exercise mix) and the community is very active and supportive."
—Mike W.

"This program is amazing. Although there are tough days, I never feel obliterated after a week and it fits into my buy schedule. The programming is smart and I have made amazing progress!"
—Greg M.
