Class Descriptions

Cat Fit Foundations - This introductory class focuses on mastering fundamental movement patterns: hinge, squat, lunge, push, pull, rotation, balance, and locomotion. We take a ground-up approach, emphasizing key elements such as base of support, body positioning, posture, core engagement, breath, and tempo.
Expect personalized coaching in a small-group setting, capped at eight participants. 

This class is ideal for:

  • Beginners or those seeking a solid foundation
  • Clients with questions about technique
  • Individuals looking to progress to heavier weights safely with longer recovery periods
  • Some classes might take place in the fitness center
  • Anyone interested in tracking progress of body composition with two optional InBody scans (recommended during the first and last week of the session).


Cat Fit HIIT- These sessions combine cardio conditioning and muscular endurance intervals for a dynamic, full-body workout.

  • Cardio segments include plyometrics, speed drills, coordination, and agility exercises.
  • Muscular endurance intervals feature 10–15 repetitions per exercise, repeated 2–3 times at a deliberately controlled pace.

This class is designed to challenge both your cardiovascular system and muscular stamina in a balanced, progressive format.

Cat Fit Strength & Power

These sessions focus on hypertrophy and strength development, with programming designed to build muscle and increase power.

  • Expect 3–6 sets of 6–12 reps, progressing to lower rep ranges (1–6) for strength work.
  • Rep velocity varies based on load and exercise goals.
  • Power training opportunities may be included, featuring explosive movements performed for 3–6 sets of 3–6 reps.

This class is perfect for clients looking to maximize strength, build lean muscle, and incorporate power-based training into their routine.
