Personal Trainer, Nutritionist, and your guide to wellness through personal transformation.

Garrett Sell brings a powerful combination of academic credentials and personal transformation to his roles as Personal Trainer and Nutritionist at Catalyst Fitness. With a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Science, ACSM Personal Trainer Certification, and Nutrition Coaching Certification, Garrett offers comprehensive expertise that addresses both fitness and nutrition. However, it's his personal journey through chronic illness to competitive fitness that truly sets his approach apart. After being diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and facing the reality that no medical intervention would cure his condition, Garrett completely transformed his lifestyle—embracing wellness, nutrition, hydration, sleep quality, and stress management as his path to recovery.

Transforming Challenges into Triumph: Garrett's two-year journey back to health culminated in competing in two natural bodybuilding competitions in 2013, demonstrating the power of holistic lifestyle changes. This profound personal experience informs his work with every client, as he understands firsthand both the challenges and rewards of committing to wellness. His approach is guided by the knowledge that sustainable change comes through progressive adaptation rather than drastic overhauls, helping clients build lasting habits that transform their quality of life.

What Makes Garrett Unique:

• Life-Changing Personal Journey: Overcame chronic pancreatitis through lifestyle modification, bringing authentic understanding to clients facing health challenges.
• Comprehensive Credentials: Combines formal education in Nutrition Science with professional certifications in both training and nutrition coaching.
• Motivational Interviewing Expert: Uses specialized communication techniques to help clients discover and articulate their own goals, creating greater commitment to the process.
• Progressive Approach: Starts with small, manageable changes that build confidence and prevent the overwhelm that often derails fitness journeys.

Beyond fitness, Garrett nurtures his creative side through music—having drummed since age 10 and currently pursuing a career as a house music DJ and producer. His other interests include golf, hiking, and yoga, particularly when they involve dogs. This multifaceted approach to life reflects his training philosophy: wellness encompasses far more than just exercise, extending to all areas that contribute to a balanced, fulfilling existence. As a guide rather than a dictator, Garrett helps clients discover their own path to improved health, supporting them at each step of their unique journey.
