✨ Happy Juneteenth from Catalyst Training Center ✨

Today we honor the legacy of liberation and resilience that Juneteenth represents. As we celebrate the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans, we must recommit to the work of building and supporting equity, justice, and thriving community for all. There is SO much more work to be done.

One powerful way to uplift this legacy today is by supporting Black-owned businesses in our local community. Here are just a few to check out and share:

🖤 Elevated Essence Massage & Bodywork
🖤 GOJO Ethiopian Cuisine
🖤 Khief Hill of Ancestral Birth Doula Services
🖤 More 2 Love Doula Services
🖤 Wonderfool Art
🖤Jamaican Dave's

Let’s keep showing up for each other—in fitness, in liberation, and in love.

Comment and tell us your favorite Black owned businesses to support this Juneteenth (AND year around)!

❤️🧡💛 Happy Pride Friends! 💚💙💜

Last night I posted some stories highlighting our Catalyst fam competing in the Kzoo Pride drag pageant. We have such an incredible and versatile group of talented folks that walk through our doors. It still feels surreal that I get to be present in so many of your lives and see you ✨ SHINE ✨ in your unique and beautiful ways!

I really need to give the deepest shoutout to our glue. This person completes a 40 hour work week for their corporate job, handles all of the operations at Catalyst, is the most calming and understanding parent, a incredibly devoted friend, and honestly, I’d need a whole other post just to do justice to how deeply wonderful they are as a partner.

Ash took on something big and brave for this performance—stepping into the unknown world of drag purely out of love and support for our Catalyst family. Their courage, heart, and unwavering presence remind us what real leadership looks like. We’re endlessly grateful to have them.
