For years, Catalyst has been a gym that by nature lends itself to being a place where community is built. Given our current political climate's hostility towards trans and q***r bodies, it has become a primary part of our mission to offer a safe third space for the LGBTQIA+ community.

We've added to our team and together we've been pouring love into the physical spaces in the building and are bringing more opportunities for community engagement. We can't wait to meet you, show you what we've done with the space, and include you in the unfolding of this community. We are building something really special here and want you to be part of it.

Join us on Saturday, June 27 from 4pm-8pm (open house style) as we kick off the summer and share all that we've been up to recently. We'll have lots of fun activities to do, including painting a community MURAL!



Catalyst Training Center is located at 1322 Edna St SE in Grand Rapids. Our offerings are all centered around embodiment and community: learning how to move our bodies, finding empowerment in our strength, supporting each other through difficult seasons, embracing creativity, and becoming the most authentic versions of ourselves. We don't do comparison here...we celebrate each other!

In the spirit of fostering community in a q***r safe space, the Catalyst team is excited to invite you to the first of what will be a monthly Jam Night on Monday, June 22 from 6pm-8pm!

Bring your acoustic instruments, your voice, play one of the rhythm instruments we've got here, or just come and vibe with us. We'll start with simple and accessible songs/chords. We look forward to experiencing the joy and connection that comes with making music together. All skill levels are welcome! We will meet in The Loft (our new community space on the upper level of Catalyst Training Center). Hosted by Mike (he/they) and Anni (they/them).
