Catalyst Golf Performance, INC - Chicago

Working with Coach Marty and the team of experts at Catalyst Golf Performance has completely changed how I think about improving my game. Rather than chasing quick fixes, their system is built around long-term solutions, objective data, and developing the foundational building blocks that actually last. The comprehensive assessment, physical screening, and data-driven training plan gave me a clear roadmap instead of just another swing tip. Adding the miha bodytec EMS training has been a game changer as well. Early on, my back would be out just a few minutes into a session. Now I’m cruising through workouts feeling stronger, moving better, and without the limitations I used to expect. The results have carried over to the course in ways I never anticipated. My wedge game is the best it’s ever been, and I’ve actually run into a new “problem”—I’m hitting every club 10–15 yards farther than I used to. Recalibrating my distances can be frustrating at times, but I can’t help but laugh when I realize I absolutely flushed another one. If you’re looking for lasting improvement instead of another band-aid lesson, I can’t recommend Coach Marty and the Catalyst Golf Performance system highly enough. Their holistic approach has made me a better golfer, a stronger athlete, and given me confidence that the improvements I’m making are built to last.

The Catalyst coaching program was the best investment I could have made in my golf game. I came to Marty as a complete beginner. He has a clear understanding of how your physicality and any flexibility/rotation issues will show up in your swing, and he was able to help me build a swing around those. He also worked on every aspect of my golf game to help me become a well rounded golfer. A major highlight of my lessons was Marty’s use of a TrackMan and his ability to immediately identify the root cause of swing issues/ability. He helped me to better understand and visualize the swing adjustments needed, and the footage pre- and post-adjustment made it clear how a small change in swing feeling can have a significant effect on my shot. He used these insights to provide incredibly effective drills, and more importantly, he tried several different approaches when I struggled to grasp a certain drill. The progress I made with Marty’s guidance took me from a floundering novice to truly beginning to flourish. To anyone looking improve their game, I wholeheartedly recommend Catalyst. It always felt like Marty was just as invested in my success as I was. Whether you're a novice, like me, looking to build a swing and gain a fuller understanding of golf or an experienced golfer looking to fine-tune your skills, his personalized and technical approach is fantastic.

After four lessons with Marty, my game has never been better! We worked on every aspect of my game as well as my overall golf fitness. Marty is incredibly knowledgeable and great at communicating during lessons. He also does a great job at utilizing all the latest technology like Trackman and slow-motion video to maximize his understanding of what needs correcting in your swing. I couldn't be happier with the decision to get lessons with Marty!

I have been working with Marty for about 18 months now.  I can say two things with certainty: (1) he has helped me understand the golf swing in a much deeper way such that I can quickly address swing issues on the course and in practice, (2) he has pushed me to improve my fitness, which has not only benefited my golf game but my health overall.  On net, my ball striking is much more consistent and I am generating more power with less effort.  Plus Marty is a great guy who is always willing to make time to help.

I highly recommend Catalyst to help with fitness, balance, and muscle activation. As an amateur cyclist who spends too much time sitting on an office chair, I’ve struggled to incorporate strength training in my routine. In just 20 minutes, I get a full body workout that is both fun (although not easy) and really efficient. Also, Marty provides excellent coaching and knows just how hard to push each session for maximum results. Definitely give it a try!
