Catt Tripoli 

World Champion bodybuilder, entrepreneur, award-winning author, certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, as well as a Cranio-sacral and Reiki practitioner

Catt Tripoli, also known as Cathey Palyo, is a former title-winning bodybuilder. She has been involved in the health and fitness industry for over 4 decades, and through her personal triumphs, developed the Conscious Fitness methodologies to take a more holistic approach to fitness. Bodybuilding saved Catt’s life by giving her outer strength as well as an inner resilience that transcended sport.

Catt’s background hasn’t always been spiritual. She was raised in an apocryphal religious belief system that severely restricted both aspirations and involvement with the outside world. After digging deep to find the courage to break away and seek her own path, she was able to quickly rise through the amateur ranks and earn her pro card. Catt earned the overall title at the Ms. Universe competition in Singapore in 1986. In 1988, she won the Ms. International contest (now the Arnold Classic), which was the highlight of her professional bodybuilding career.
Catt has been featured on the covers of Muscular Development and Muscle & Fitness, as well as in several international fitness publications in Belgium, France, Mexico, the Netherlands, and Greece. She was only the second woman to be featured on the cover of Flex, bodybuilding’s premier magazine.

Today, she owns and operates Powerhouse Gym in Santa Rosa, CA while offering online training for other health and wellness professionals to bring the Conscious Fitness philosophies to their practices. She has two Siamese cats, Rogu and Miso, and two exuberant Bull Terriers, Enzo and Gnocchi, by her side.
