How you got started with CATZ: I came in with my son to watch him workout for basketball; I did my Free Trial Session which I was physically unable to finish. I didn’t know how much I needed CATZ until that moment.

Getting to know James Mahlen:

Any pre-game or pre-practice rituals or routines? Superstitions?
Prayer for Success in all things I do, and lots and lots of stretching.

Most memorable Sports moment.
When I was in High School, I hit my first home run which broke a 0-0 tie in the 7th inning. I wasn’t supposed to play in that game and was only in after another player was injured.

Who is the most influential person/people in your life?
Watching my mother die from cancer, realizing that the best way to break a bad habit, is to never start that habit.

“Jim is a great example of determination. After not being able to finish his first few sessions, he has set his mind to being successful and pushing through out workouts. He always brings a “whatever doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger” attitude to each workout. He has been a great training partner, as many of our session have been 1 on 1 sessions at 8 am. I am glad to know Jim and to have helped him reach his goals.”
