Why We Started
Catalyst Fitness
A decade of transformations in Spokane, WA — and we're just getting started.
Our Mission
"To provide effective, fun, engaging fitness solutions for anyone looking to be their best."
Whether your best is in the backyard or at the finish line — that's what we're here for. Founded in 2016 by Matt Griffith, Catalyst Fitness was built on a simple belief: fitness should be personal, not cookie-cutter.
We keep classes small (max 6), programs individualized, and our door open to anyone who wants to move better and feel better — regardless of where they're starting from.
The Team
Meet Your Coaches
Matt Griffith
Owner & CSCS
Matt Griffith
Business Owner & Personal Trainer
B.S. Exercise Science, Eastern Washington University. We all want to feel better — whether it's powering through a daily routine or jumping into a favorite outdoor activity around Spokane and the Inland Northwest. Too often, you either lack the know-how, don't stick with the plan, or aren't seeing the results you want. Matt takes the time to know you, assess your needs, and build a program specific to you — whether that's losing weight, training for a sport, rehabbing an injury, or simply improving your quality of life.
His favorite success story: an almost-40-year-old dad of eight who worked from a home office. Matt helped him get in shape and pass a fitness mindset on to his whole family — they now enjoy skiing, fencing, and a backyard obstacle course together. His wife even started training for triathlons after their last child was born, and now she outworks him. With 20+ years of experience, Matt says it best: "Work as hard as you can in the time you have. Something is always better than nothing."
Matty L
Group Fitness Lead & Trainer
Matty firmly believes "movement is medicine" — evident the moment you train with her. A former collegiate track athlete, she fosters a motivating, competitive environment to help you reach your goals. She's currently a student physical therapist at EWU, with a special interest in pelvic floor, neurologic, and sports rehabilitation.
With a strong background in Olympic powerlifting and resistance training, Matty's coaching extends well beyond strength work into mobility, goal-specific programming, and more. Her workouts target full-body strength, endurance, and range of motion — built on foundational, functional movement to reduce pain and prevent injury.

Every client gets a program built around their specific goals, limitations, and fitness level. No one-size-fits-all here.
Community-Sized
