Your Coach, Dr. Chelsea Matthews

Over the past 9 years, I’ve helped everyone from Olympic hopefuls to 83-year-old runners feel stronger, stay active and reach ambitious running goals.

My journey to helping runners started after chronic pain and injury made me question if I’d ever run again. After reclaiming running (and my stress outlet), it motivated me to help other runners stay strong, healthy and running consistently for decades to come.

Now, I’m bringing my expertise to you with a program that’s designed to fit your life and help you achieve your goals.

    • Every workout is customized based on your unique needs and goals utilizing the latest science and research around strength, prevention and longevity.

      For example, while many online workouts will feel challenging - this doesn’t mean they are actually improving strength or reducing your injury risk as a runner.

    • Yes. Catalyst Strength Club is a monthly membership but you can cancel or pause anytime. No long term commitment is needed. For me, strength training is a part of being a healthy runner. I have been strength training regularly for 22 years.

    • It’s recommended that you have resistance bands and either dumbells or kettlebells to get the most out of the program.

    • Unlike generic programs with dozens of exercises, Catalyst Strength Club narrows your focus to only the most important 6-12 exercises for YOUR body each week.
