JESSE LOMMATZSCH
Co-Lead Trainer, exercise science specialist, and your guide to personalized health transformation.
Jesse Lommatzsch brings academic expertise and personalized attention to his role as Co-Lead Trainer at Catalyst Fitness. After realizing that a career in accounting wouldn't fulfill his passion for helping others achieve wellness, Jesse pivoted to earn his bachelor's degree in Health and Exercise Science from the University of Saint Francis in 2012. This educational foundation, combined with his certification as a Personal Trainer through the prestigious National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), has equipped him with the knowledge and credentials to help clients transform their lives and lead the training team since joining Catalyst Fitness in March 2014.
Defining Health on Individual Terms: Jesse's approach begins with a fundamental question: "What does being healthy mean to you?" Recognizing that health looks different for everyone—whether it's feeling confident in clothes, increasing energy levels, or accomplishing specific physical feats—he rejects one-size-fits-all fitness solutions. Instead, Jesse takes time to thoroughly understand each client's unique lifestyle, strengths, weaknesses, goals, and challenges before developing personalized training programs. This individualized approach creates sustainable paths to the healthier lifestyles his clients seek and serves as a model for the trainers he helps lead.
What Makes Jesse Unique:
- Leadership Role: As Co-Lead Trainer, he helps guide Catalyst's training team while maintaining his personal connection with clients.
- Academic Foundation: Holds a bachelor's degree in Health and Exercise Science from the University of Saint Francis, bringing scientific understanding to training approaches.
- NSCA Certification: Certified through the highly respected National Strength and Conditioning Association, demonstrating commitment to professional standards.
- Catalyst Veteran: Has been helping members transform their lives at Catalyst Fitness since March 2014, building a trusted presence in the community.
- Active Practitioner: Personally engages in diverse physical activities including basketball, football, mountain biking, golfing, and snowboarding, bringing authentic enthusiasm to fitness.
When not training clients and mentoring staff at Catalyst, Jesse prioritizes both active pursuits and family time. His passion for basketball leads him to play recreationally at least once a week, while he also enjoys various challenging outdoor activities. Above all, Jesse values time with his family—his wife Jessica and their four children (three girls and their little brother)—watching them learn and grow. His journey from accounting student to fitness professional and leadership role demonstrates his commitment to following passion rather than convention, an inspiring example he shares with clients and fellow trainers seeking their own transformations.
