Why I wanted to be apart of the team 💪 As a former division 1 soccer player, I’ve always loved being in an active, team-oriented environment. Fitness has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I knew I wanted to stay connected to that as much as possible. Since I’m new to the area, I was looking for a place where I could meet people with similar interests and goals. MT seemed like the perfect fit—a supportive, high-energy space where I could stay connected to my passion for fitness while being part of a great community. I cannot wait to meet you all!

Why I wanted to be a part of MT 💪 I was drawn to McAlister because of its strong sense of community and focus on helping people become the strongest versions of themselves — physically and mentally. As a Division 1 athlete and certified Pilates instructor, I’m passionate about movement, training, and supporting others in their fitness journey. I wanted to join a team that values hard work, integrity, and genuine connection with clients. McAlister felt like the perfect fit not only to grow professionally, but also to contribute to a space that aligns with my own values and passion for wellness!

Workout-related or just real-life inspo, we wanna hear it 👇

If you’ve been in class, you know it’s so much more than a workout for our team—there’s often a little extra or motivation you can take with you anywhere 🫶

Late to the trend, but still here for it. What would yours say? 🧐

8 years of McAlister Training 🫶

Eight years ago, we opened our doors with no real business plan, no big goals, and definitely no money. Just a couple of kids with big hearts and a knowing that fitness could be done differently.

We wanted to create a space where people could move better, get stronger, and feel like they belonged—like part of a team—without the ego that so often comes with traditional gyms.

Since then, this studio has seen it all:
✨ Countless workouts and friendships
✨ Marriages, babies, and new beginnings
✨ Tears, unknowns, and a pandemic
✨ Wins we’ll never forget and losses that broke our hearts
✨ Moments of deep grief and sooo many moments we couldn’t stop laughing

Truthfully, this place has asked everything of us. We’ve poured every ounce of our hearts and souls into it. And some days, it’s felt like too much. But then we walk through those doors and see the faces of the people who choose to show up here, and we’re reminded why we keep going.

This studio was our first baby and it’s become something we never could’ve imagined. Now, eight years later, we’re still here—still learning, still lifting, still building something we deeply believe in.

Anniversaries (or McAnniversaries, as we like to call them) feel like big milestones, but truthfully, we’re not the best at pausing to celebrate them (definitely forgot last year 🫠). But today, we’re doing just that. We’re raising a glass to this special place and to all those who’ve made it what it is.

Whether you’ve been to our studio for a single drop-in, a season, or stayed for years, we hope you know you’ve left your mark on this place, and on us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Here’s to year 9 and beyond 🥂

With so much hustle and heart,
The McAlisters

Happy birthday to the one and only Delanie 🤍

From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our studio. She brings so much dedication, care, and kindness to everything she does. She’s not only an incredible athlete and a powerhouse of a trainer, but also the kind of teammate and friend you want around.

We’re so grateful for you, Delanie, and we hope this next year brings you everything you give to our studio—and more!

Fam, will you help us wish the the happiest birthday?!

Home run of a night 🧢

07/09/2025

Today was a special one at the studio—bittersweet in all the best ways.

It was BG’s last class (for a while) as he heads off to Fresno. It honestly feels like he’s graduating, and while we’re so proud of him and excited for what’s next, we’re definitely feeling the feels. We’re going to miss him like crazy 😭

If you know BG, you love him. His energy, encouragement, humor, and giant heart have left a lasting impact on this community. He hasn’t just shown up to class over 1,300 times, he’s literally helped build the studio into what it is today.

We’ve never seriously considered opening a Fresno location… until now. And yes, we’re already counting down the minutes until he finds his way back to SLO.

We celebrated the best way we know how: with Scout coffee after our 7:15 class and some very intentional mesh outfits—a nod to the time BG and Clint rocked matching mesh looks to one of our professional photo shoots (see carousel for photo proof).

For now, it’s not goodbye—it’s see you soon 👋 Cue the Green Day.
