About this listen
Summary:
Chris Cooper takes listeners through the 20-year history of Catalyst — from a tiny 400 sq ft studio above a card shop in 2005 to a thriving community hub preparing for its next evolution in 2025. Hear the highs and lows: discovering CrossFit, near bankruptcy, mentorship, building Ignite, competing at the Games, moving into a permanent home, surviving the pandemic, and evolving into today’s semi-private training model. Along the way, Chris reflects on the people, memories, and lessons that shaped Catalyst into what it is today.
