Your Gym. Your Schedule. Close to Home.

CATALANO ATHLETIC CLUB LLC is a compact, fully equipped private gym designed for the member who values quality over quantity — and privacy over a crowd.

What CAC Is

A 330-square-foot private fitness facility at 18 West Main Street, Waterloo, NY — open 5am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, accessed via smartphone app or key card. The gym is unstaffed. You have the space entirely to yourself (or with other members who happen to be there). The equipment is commercial-grade and maintained to the standard you'd expect from a high-end private facility.

The aesthetic is understated and deliberate — a subtle nod to the Finger Lakes and the water that surrounds us, with a "yacht club" refinement you won't find at a chain gym.

Who It's For

CAC was designed with the neighborhood in mind — apartment residents, downtown professionals, and anyone who wants a quality workout within walking distance of Main Street.

  • Members 18 years of age and older
  • People who prefer a quiet, focused workout
  • Residents of the nearby apartment buildings
  • Downtown Waterloo professionals on a lunch break
  • Anyone who wants real equipment without real crowds

Important: This is an unstaffed facility. There is no on-site staff, no supervision, and no front desk. The owner is nearby and reachable, but your experience here is self-directed. Everything you need to know is on this page.

How Membership Works

From signup to your first workout — here's exactly what to expect.

01

Choose a Plan

Select the membership option that fits your schedule and budget — annual, month-to-month, or personal trainer. Click Join Here above to view all options and enroll through PushPress.

02

PushPress Enrollment

PushPress is our gym management software — we trust them with our data and yours. You'll be asked for your email, name, and date of birth, then payment. Afterward, download the PushPress Member App or use the web app at members.pushpress.com to finish setting up your account. You'll be prompted to sign the Member Waiver and Release.

Don't want to download any new apps? That's okay — just enter your email, name, and date of birth, and you can skip anything related to the app. You will be prompted to sign the Member Waiver and Release via an email sent to you by PushPress. Without the app, please reach out to us directly if you need copies of your gym documents. The app simply gives you the ability to access that information on your own anytime.

03

Set Up Door Access

Watch for a welcome email from catalanoathleticclub@gmail.com within 24 hours. Also watch for a separate invitation from identity@ui.com — door access emails can take up to 24 hours to arrive, so check your spam folder too.

Once you receive the UniFi invitation, download the UniFi Identity Endpoint app, then go back to the email from UniFi and click "Load Credential Now" — this loads your door access credential onto your phone. Make sure NFC permissions are enabled on your device (usually found under Connections or Device Settings) so your phone can communicate with the reader. If you run into any trouble, simply reply to the email and we will help. Key cards are available at no extra charge as an alternative — just ask.

04

Walk In

Hold your unlocked phone up to the reader at the rear entrance. Hear the beep and click. Pull the door. Make sure it shuts behind you. The lights come on automatically. You're in. Please finish your workout by closing time at 9:30pm — we'll dim the lights as a reminder when it's time to wrap up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there staff at the gym?

No. CATALANO ATHLETIC CLUB LLC is an unstaffed, private-access facility. The owner is located in an adjacent business and is reachable by email or phone, but there is no on-site staff or supervision during your workout. This is a self-directed gym experience.

How do I get in?

Keep in mind that every smartphone model and operating system is a little different — some settings adjustments may be needed to get access working. For example, NFC (Near Field Communication) must be enabled on your phone to communicate with the door reader. This setting is usually found under Connections or Device Settings. If you run into any trouble getting access set up, just respond to your welcome email and we will help you sort it out. Physical key cards are available at no extra charge and work for everyone — just ask. If you ever get locked out, call 315-759-8380 and follow the prompts for assistance.

What are the hours?

The gym is open 5:00am to 9:30pm, seven days a week. Door access via smartphone or key card is only available during these hours. At the end of the night, please plan to finish your workout and exit by 9:30pm. As closing time approaches, we will dim the lights to let you know the gym is closing. Once you exit, your key card or phone will not allow re-entry until we open again at 5:00am. Your access is valid as long as your membership is current and will be deactivated automatically upon expiration or non-payment.

Where do I park?

Street parking is available on West Main Street and surrounding downtown streets. The parking lot behind the building is private property and not available to gym members. Please use on-street parking only.

We Support It. We Don't Provide It.

That said — we believe in personal training, and we've built a path for it. Through our Personal Trainer Membership program, qualified, certified independent trainers may register with the Club and provide one-on-one personal training services to current CAC members within the facility.

CATALANO ATHLETIC CLUB LLC does not employ personal trainers, provide training services, or offer fitness instruction of any kind. The Club and its owner make no representations regarding fitness programming, exercise advice, or training methodology, and nothing communicated by Club personnel constitutes professional health or fitness guidance.

Trainers registered with CAC are independent contractors. They are not employees, agents, representatives, or affiliates of CATALANO ATHLETIC CLUB LLC. All training arrangements are made directly between the member and the individual trainer.

Looking for a Trainer?

If a registered personal trainer is currently available at CAC, their contact information and services will be posted on the advertising board inside the gym. Stop by, take a look, and reach out to them directly. All training fees and arrangements are handled between you and the trainer — the Club is not involved.
