Meet Tieaira, our Catalyst Fitness Member of the Month! Tieaira is a mom of two and a registered nurse at Kenmore Mercy Hospital, where she has worked for the past 12 years. Outside of work and family life, Tieaira has a passion for fitness, and pushing herself to become stronger every day.
Tieaira began her fitness journey in 2017 after becoming a new mom and experiencing changes in her body after having children. With several friends involved in the bodybuilding community, she became inspired to start working out and quickly fell in love with fitness.
Tieaira joined Catalyst Fitness in 2024 at Catalyst Fitness on French Road. She chose Catalyst because she loves the layout of the clubs and appreciates how spacious and spread out the workout floors are. As a dedicated Catalyst Fitness member, she enjoys visiting multiple locations and experiencing what makes each one unique.
She was even one of the first members to visit our Colvin location when it opened! She loves Broadway for its recovery room and convenience, French Road for its strong sense of community, and Elmwood because it is conveniently located right down the street from her job.
For Tieaira, fitness means so much more than simply working out. During a difficult period in her life, the gym became her escape. She would spend two to three hours focused on herself, her goals, and her training.
She loves the dopamine boost she gets from working out and has embraced the idea that staying active not only helps her look good, but also makes her feel good. As a nurse, Tieaira hopes to inspire others to work toward their health and fitness goals. She understands that reaching those goals takes patience, dedication, and hard work.
After years of building her strength and staying consistent, Tieaira is now working toward one of her biggest goals yet: competing in bodybuilding. She has been waiting for the right opportunity to compete and hopes to step on stage in 2027. Right now, she is focused on building strength.
While Tieaira loves training hard, she knows that recovery is just as important as the workout itself. One of her favorite ways to recover is using the infrared saunas at Catalyst Fitness and taking advantage of the benefits they provide. She makes stretching and getting enough rest a priority, knowing that recovery plays an important role in reaching her fitness goals.
When asked what advice she would give someone just starting their fitness journey, Tieaira says:
“Give yourself and your body grace. It can take a long time to see results, but just keep going.”
Her message to the Catalyst community is simple:
“Give the gym a try. Whatever emotion you are feeling or whatever you may be going through, Tieaira believes the gym can be a great answer and a positive starting point.”
We are so grateful to have Tieaira as part of the Catalyst Fitness community! Her dedication, consistency, and hard work continue to motivate those around her. Congratulations, Tieaira, on being our Catalyst Fitness Member of the Month!
