Group Fitness Instructor, Senior Fitness Specialist, and your guide to active aging.

Tia Vorndran brings professional expertise and genuine passion to her role as a Group Fitness Instructor at Catalyst Fitness. After a successful 36-year career in the insurance industry, Tia embraced retirement as an opportunity to pursue her love for fitness and make a meaningful difference in people's lives. With certifications from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) in group fitness instruction and as a Senior Fitness Specialist, she has been sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm with Catalyst members for over five years, specializing in classes that help participants maintain strength, flexibility, and balance throughout their lives.

Empowering Active Aging: Tia's focus on senior fitness comes from a genuine desire to help people maintain independence and quality of life as they age. Her Fit For Life and Strength For Life classes are particularly popular with senior members, who benefit from her specialized understanding of their unique needs and goals. With compassionate guidance and evidence-based instruction, she creates supportive environments where participants of all ages—but especially seniors—can safely challenge themselves while building functional fitness that translates to everyday activities.

What Makes Tia Unique:

• Senior Fitness Expertise: Holds specialized certification as a Senior Fitness Specialist, providing targeted knowledge for working with older adults.
• Second-Career Passion: Chose fitness instruction specifically as a meaningful post-retirement pursuit, bringing maturity and purpose to her teaching.
• Personal Practitioner: Actively participates in running and races, demonstrating her commitment to fitness beyond the classroom.
• People-Centered Approach: Focuses on the human element of fitness, connecting with members and finding fulfillment in their progress and achievements.

When not leading her popular Fit For Life and Strength For Life classes at Catalyst, Tia maintains her own fitness through running and participating in races. Her transition from the corporate world to fitness instruction exemplifies her belief in pursuing passions at every life stage. By combining her professional certifications with genuine care for her participants, Tia creates classes that address not just physical needs but also the social and emotional benefits of group fitness, making her a beloved figure among Catalyst's senior members.
