Fit4Work brings fitness to the workplace to give employers a wellness benefit employees can realistically use.
"As a professional services firm with 90 employees across the country, investing in the well-being of our team is essential to our success. After 18 months, Fit4Work has proven to be an innovative and cost-effective investment that elevates our culture, supports our people, and differentiates us as an employer who genuinely prioritizes wellness."
"I have been battling my weight since childhood and have over the years lost nearly 300 pounds. When I started with Stephanie, I had been stuck in my weight loss cycle for years. She worked with me to increase my flexibility, strength, and overall health — and in the process I've been able to lose nearly 30 pounds over the last 4 or 5 months. It has brought new hope and life to my weight loss journey, and I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to participate right from the comfort of my home. Fit4Work and Stephanie have been a blessing for me."
"My personal progress has been tremendous. My weight was 281.5 pounds, my BMI 42.8 and body fat 40.6% — very unhealthy. My current weight is 202.2 pounds and my body fat is 17.0%. My mobility has been transformed from aching knees and no mobility to being very active with no pain. My muscle mass has increased significantly — I started with 25 lb dumbbells for bench press and now I can do reps of 205 lbs. This training has changed my life forever. My goal was to be under 200 pounds and I am close — and excited for what comes next."
"I'm incredibly grateful for the personal training benefit. I've seen real improvements in body composition, higher energy levels, and healthier habits overall — drinking more water, getting more protein, and being more intentional with exercise outside my sessions. Professionally, I've noticed a boost in focus and productivity. I was skeptical about remote training over Zoom, but Stephanie's attention to my form and her detailed workout plans made me a believer. We were recently traveling in Strasbourg and I climbed the 330 steps to the top of the cathedral — and passed people who had to stop on the way up. I've lost count of how many lunges I've done since starting, but my legs definitely haven't."
"I began working with my trainer in August 2024, seven months after surgery for a severe ankle fracture. I carried a lot of fear around reinjuring my ankle. My trainer has been instrumental in rebuilding both my physical strength and my confidence — patient, attentive, and truly meeting me where I am. Today I have met the strength goals I set when I first started and continue to expand them. I would highly recommend this program to any business looking to offer personal training as a real benefit to its team."
"For the past two years I have been utilizing the personal fitness program. I have been thrilled to experience meaningful progress on my wellness journey, including losing 10 pounds and feeling noticeably stronger and more energized. The improvements in my mobility and overall confidence have made a real difference in my daily life, both at work and at home. The convenience, the personalized program, and the accountability have created a sense of community and truly supported my personal and professional well-being."
"I've participated with Fit4Work since August and have seen a noticeable difference in my body — increased muscle and decreased fat. Things fit differently and I just feel better about myself. I train two days a week with Stephanie, and on those days I have a real increase in energy. I enjoy the 1-on-1 time because it keeps me accountable, and Stephanie critiques my form and pushes me to add weight or reps when I wouldn't push myself. I've been pleasantly surprised at just how strong I am — I can do pushups and hold a plank for over a minute and a half. I love that this is provided through work and can be done at home, and it for sure helps with mental clarity and overall productivity."
"I've had great progress with Stephanie. When I started, I wasn't eating enough calories or protein — now that she's helped me increase my protein, I've seen a lot of changes. My muscle mass has increased and so have my energy levels. She helped me find where I was overcompensating in muscle groups that weren't the intended target. My mobility has increased significantly and I'm waking up with less pain and soreness now that the right muscles are being engaged. Having this be a perk of the company helps me stay on track with my nutrition and exercise."
"I started working out with Stephanie about six months ago and I'm very happy with the changes. I'm naturally athletic but worried that heavy weight training would aggravate my back and shoulder problems — that couldn't have been further from the truth. Stephanie was thorough about my injuries from the start and modifies almost every exercise so I never feel pain. Six months in, my back problems are nearly non-existent, my body fat is down and my muscle mass is up. I can do diamond pushups now without modifying, and I'm lifting heavier than I ever thought I would — which feels empowering. Her experience really shines through, and it's clear she wants to have a positive impact on her clients."
"As I've continued with my exercise routine, I've seen a clear increase in my strength and I've been feeling better overall. My overall body fat to muscle ratio has improved, which is very exciting. I recently went on a mountain bike ride and noticed increased ability and balance. Maintaining a regular workout routine has helped me stay more positive and energized throughout the workday. This is a benefit that isn't offered at most companies, and I'm grateful that Catalyst places this kind of value on health and wellness. Catalyst does more than just talk — they put things into action to better their team members and the company overall."
"When my company introduced an in-office gym alongside a personal trainer, it was transformational. Rather than a shared space, the vision was a certified trainer to address each person's individual health goals — private sessions, just the associate and the trainer. The on-site trainer tailors his approach to each individual, recognizing prior exercise experience, age, and mental wellbeing. Many associates appreciate the company's investment in helping them become their best selves, with significant improvements in both physical and mental health. The break in the day to focus on physical wellbeing has genuinely improved mental health too — and based on the personal gains I've experienced, I plan to continue."
"I've been taking personal training sessions for several months now and I'm beyond excited to see the progression in my fitness goals. One of the biggest benefits is training at my workplace — I can complete my workouts right away and then head home and enjoy the remainder of my day. My trainer is very knowledgeable and knows how to make workouts challenging yet tailored to your individual fitness levels. He holds you accountable to help you get the results you want."
