If you experience adverse reactions, stop using the Katalyst Training System immediately and consult your physician.
Katalyst Training System Components The Katalyst Training System consists of three main components: the suit, the impulse pack, and the base layer. All three of these components, as well as the included spray bottle, are described in this section. The Suit The suit delivers impulses directly from the connected impulse pack to all of your major muscle groups.
Vest The vest is worn during all training sessions and features pads at predefined locations for upper-body muscle stimulation. Connector port Snaps for arm connector Shoulder straps with Velcro ® Side straps Zipper Pads Buckles D-Rings...
Shorts The shorts feature pads at predefined locations for lower-body muscle stimulation. Connector port Hip belt with Velcro ® Impulse pack pocket Leg straps with buckles Pads Buckles D-Rings...
Arm Straps The arm straps are worn around the middle of your upper arms during all training sessions and feature pads at predefined locations for stimulation of the upper arm muscles. Snaps for arm connectors Pads Loops ® Velcro Arm Connectors The arm connectors are used to connect the arm straps with the vest.
Impulse Pack The impulse pack is the control center for your Katalyst Training System. This small device employs low-frequency impulses to generate muscle contraction, which multiplies each muscle group’s work rate and output. It communicates wirelessly with the Katalyst app.
Turning On Your Impulse Pack The impulse pack has a single button to turn it on and off. When the LED status indicator displays a color, the impulse pack is on. If no color is displayed, the impulse pack is off. To turn on the impulse pack, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds.
Base Layer The base layer consists of a shirt and a pair of shorts. They are designed to be worn underneath the suit during training and should have direct contact with your skin. Shirt Shorts For maximum efficacy do not wear anything underneath the base layer.
Spray Bottle The Katalyst Training System includes a spray bottle, which allows you to wet the pads of your suit to get the best connectivity for your workouts. Pump Trigger Adjustable spray nozzle Maximum water line...
Directions for Use Before you begin your workout with the Katalyst Training System, you must first install and configure the Katalyst App on your iPhone or iPad and adjust your suit so that it is tight against your body but still comfortable.
Preparing Your Suit Before beginning this step, ensure that you have filled the spray bottle with water (we recommend warm water for your comfort) up to the maximum water line and pumped it approximately 20 times. Always inspect your suit and base layer for rips, tears, or any other type of damage. If damage is present, replace the damaged suit or base layer.

Place the arm straps on the floor, so the pads are facing up. For each pad on the vest, shorts, and arm straps do the following: Place the nozzle directly on the pad, pressing down so that the nozzle is always in contact with the surface of the pad.
Page 22
Pads must be sufficiently soaked with water. This can be tested by placing a finger on the electrode and pressing down. Water should come out of the pad with little pressure.
Putting On Your Suit The following provides instructions on putting on the suit. Katalyst recommends that you only wear the provided base layer underneath the suit during your workouts to achieve maximum efficacy. Put on the prepared vest and shorts, and zip up the vest.

Wrap a leg strap around each of your thighs, and close each buckle. Tighten the leg straps of the shorts, ensuring that the front pad is centered in the middle of your thigh, and attach them using the Velcro ® Pull the D-Rings of the side straps of the vest to tighten, starting from the bottom, to ensure good compression.
Page 25
Simultaneously pull down both shoulder straps to tighten the vest. When finished, firmly attach the shoulder straps using the Velcro ® on the chest section of the vest to secure them. A loose or a non-optimal compression of the pads may degrade the muscle stimulation. Wrap the arm straps around the middle of your upper arm, ensuring the straps are positioned over the base layer, and that the pads are tight but comfortable.
Page 26
Attach the arm connectors to the vest and the arm straps on each side. Grab your impulse pack and pull the cables through the loop at the back of your shorts. Attach the vest connector to the vest and the shorts connector to the shorts, using the built-in magnets and keep the impulse pack in your hands for the next steps.
Selecting Your Workout Open the Katalyst App on your iPhone or iPad and access the Katalyst Workout Library on the Home tab, which lists all of the available workouts. If this is your first time, Katalyst recommends that you start using low-intensity settings before progressing to higher intensities to familiarize yourself with the sensation.

Your iPhone or iPad will confirm that “Katalyst” is trying to use your Bluetooth to connect the impulse pack to your suit. Press Ok and the application detects your impulse pack.
Storing Your Impulse Pack Once you have paired your iPhone or iPad to the impulse pack, you can store your impulse pack. Slide your impulse pack into the pocket of your shorts for the duration of your workout. The impulse pack is now safely stored, and you are ready to begin your workout. Managing Your Training Session Your workout begins once you have selected the workout, pressed the Begin Workout button and paired your impulse pack.
