ABOUT US Karyn Holland Personal Trainer / Owner Catalyst Fitness Gym I live in a world that revolves around the love of adventures, challenges, healthy food and feeling fit and strong. Through my work as a Personal trainer and Gym owner, I can inspire others to do the same, and live their lives to their best potential. The driven desire to help others learn began early as a teenager and horse rider, teaching young riders at my local Pony Club. Which lead to more teaching to a growing age range. From Horse Riding to Personal training, Health and Fitness coaching, my satisfaction is immense when I see people pushing boundaries to have amazing experiences and rewards by engaging in activity out of their comfort zones. Fun and friendships are a common bi-product of everything I do! An early initiative was hosting my first Active Women s Weekend in Golden Bay where I realised I could really make a difference to Woman who seek rewarding experiences. While working as a cycling coach in Auckland I ran three more similar weekends, which were so successful I knew I was on the right path. Things have grown substantially with a twice yearly Active Getaway to beautiful Zatori Retreat in Golden Bay. And our latest initiative is an escape to Bali which offers the perfect environment for all the things we wish to encourage, nurture and experience. I am so looking forward to sharing with you the things I love about Bali and in particular the Ubud area. The food, the warmth, the scenery and culture, exercise and activity and totally beautiful people. There is every likelihood you will come back fitter, leaner, healthier, and hankering to return. Be warned!
