Katalyst is a full-body Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) home fitness product. Utilizing proven EMS technology, our system actively engages all major muscle groups at the same time, providing a high-intensity, zero-impact workout in just 20 minutes or less.

The suit is controlled by the Katalyst iPad app, which streams curated, trainer-led workouts, providing an intense and highly efficient full-body workout that you can feel immediately. The workout is low-impact and suitable for adults of all ages and fitness levels. With just two 20 minute sessions a week, individuals of all fitness levels and body types can see and feel results within a few weeks.

A typical Katalyst workout takes 20 minutes, ranging from a 5 minute recovery session to a 20 minute strength workout.

Katalyst is a true, full-body workout that stimulates all major muscle groups (arms, legs, back, chest, core, glutes) at the same time. The Katalyst impulses engage twice as many fibers within each muscle as you could with conventional training.

With Katalyst, everything you need comes in the box. You can optionally add small weights to increase the intensity of your workout, but it is not necessary in order to achieve an impactful EMS workout. For cardio workouts, you can optionally combine Katalyst with other equipment such as a treadmill or elliptical. The Katalyst Training System works with your body by amplifying your natural ability to engage your muscles. The result is a true, full-body workout that engages twice as many muscle fibers as you could on your own.

Katalyst is for everyone! No matter where you are on your fitness journey, and no matter your training history, we can help you achieve your fitness goals.

Note: Katalyst is intended for adult use only and must not be used by pregnant women and those with pacemakers. Please see the Katalyst Instruction Manual for additional information.

Yes. We created Katalyst to help all people improve their health and fitness. The Katalyst system is modular by design and able to fit a wide range of body shapes and sizes. If you are in doubt, get in touch contact support@katalyst.fit.

Yes, but each Katalyst user needs their own Impulse Pack and iPad. If two people want to work out side-by-side, it's best to buy two complete Katalyst Training Systems. We do not yet offer group training.

Yes, the Katalyst Training System requires an iPad that is capable of running iOS 13 or later.

You can typically get 10+ workouts on one charge of your Impulse Pack.

The Katalyst Base Layer is designed to absorb moisture and perspiration during your workout, and to be washed with regular detergent after each use.

To ensure the longevity of your Katalyst suit, we recommend hand washing with cold water and mild detergent and infrequent machine washing. The suit is designed to be machine washable with cold water and mild detergent; however, it is possible that repeated cycles may eventually accelerate wear and tear on the suit. Do NOT place your suit in the dryer, as this will damage it. Always air dry your suit after workouts.

Miha bodytec, X-body, E-fit, and others have been building full-body MS training equipment for 10 and more years. They enable an industry of more than 12,000 personal training studios worldwide. While they are similar in their ability to train the human body, they are very expensive (around $20,000 per system), complicated to maintain (can’t be washed without disassembly), and require a certified personal trainer to operate. With Katalyst, you will get the benefits of personal training in a studio in your home for a fraction of the cost.

The U.S. FDA is regulating powered muscle stimulators as Class II medical devices. However, outside the U.S., they are considered consumer electronics similar to an electric toothbrush or hairdryer.

Yes. Katalyst has actually received three FDA clearances in the past four years. The first clearance, in 2017, was an Rx-only (prescription) clearance for our first-generation device to operate our studio-based business model. The second, in 2018, was related to our second-generation studio device. The third clearance received in early 2020, gave us the ability to market and sell the Katalyst Training System, designed for at-home use, over-the-counter (i.e., directly to consumers).
