McAlister Training

McAlister Training offers circuit training classes, 1:1 training, and nutrition in San Luis Obispo.

McAlister Training is a family-owned fitness studio founded by Michael and Lauren McAlister. Our San Luis Obispo studio specializes in group circuit training classes and 1:1 personal training. We believe in tailoring workouts to meet unique needs, high-fiving (a lot), and celebrating — not punishing — our bodies for all that they do. At McAlister Training, we're big on hustle, but bigger on heart.

This might surprise you, but a lot of our nutrition clients (like this one!) are actually under-fueling for their activity level. It’s usually not intentional, by the way. Life gets busy, workouts pick up, and “healthier” choices can sometimes leave you under-fueled without even realizing it.

Signs it might be happening 👀

• Low energy in workouts or throughout the day
• Not getting stronger despite consistency
• Lingering soreness
• Feeling lightheaded or hitting a wall mid-workout
• Constantly thinking about food
• Poor sleep or waking up at night
• Irritability (hello, hangry)
• For women, changes in your cycle

This doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. It might just mean your body is asking for more fuel! If you’re reading this thinking, “wait… that might be me,” this is exactly what a nutrition consult is for 🤝

I’ve been thinking a lot this morning about the woman who walks through the doors at McAlister.

She’s just as strong as she is warm. She works hard and motivates the person next to her. She shows up for herself, and because of that, shows up better for her people.

She’s the one welcoming the new person, cheering someone through their last reps, and pushing herself while still dancing a little during a rest.

She’s the definition of hustle + heart.

When I take a moment to reflect, I’m so grateful to be surrounded by women like that and honestly, really proud to be one of them.

Damn, it feels good to be a woman. Happy International Women’s Day 💪

XO,
Lauren

It’s Delanie’s McAlister trainiversary✨

We seriously hit the jackpot when she joined our crew. D brings amazing energy to classes and leads with so much care. And when she’s not on the class schedule, she’s working 1:1 with clients of all ages and goals, showing up in a way that makes them feel supported, capable, and strong. We ❤️ you, ! Here’s to you!

Today isn’t just Super Bowl Sunday, it’s also Corey’s trainiversary!

Corey joined the schedule in 2022, and we’re so grateful to have him as part of the training team today! He’s equal parts calm, cool, and collected, and definitely one of the most likable humans around. He’s the coach you trust to lead you, and definitely the one you want spotting you on anything heavy 💪

Will you help us give Corey a big ol’ shoutout in the comments?!

Fam, help us welcome Presley to the front desk crew 🙌 Yes, that means we’re officially adding another member of the Dunkle fam to the lineup! Presley is Delanie’s sister (and yes, the resemblance is real 👯‍♀️), and she already brings such a great, positive energy to the studio. We’re so excited to have her on the team!

Here are a few fun facts about Presley:

Go-to karaoke song 🎤 Super Bass by Niki Minaj

Childhood “claim to fame” ⭐️ I danced on stage with Selena Gomez at the Mid State Fair when I was 5 years old.

Favorite SLO activity ☀️ Going to Avila beach with my friends

Go-to drink order ☕️ Iced vanilla latte

Why I wanted to be apart of the McAlister team 💪 I’ve always thrived in active, team-oriented environments! I grew up playing soccer and tennis and spent two years playing collegiate soccer at Cal Poly, which shaped my competitive mindset and love for teamwork. Being surrounded by motivated people who push and support each other is something I truly value and MT embodies that energy. Having my sister Delanie as a trainer here made MT feel like an even more natural fit and I was immediately drawn to the strong sense of community. I’m excited to be a welcoming face at the front desk and help create a positive, high energy experience for everyone who walks through the doors.

Once youth athletes, now youth trainers 🥹

Reese and Tyler know what it takes because they’ve lived it themselves (adorable photos above to prove it!) and now they’re helping kids build real strength and confidence at McAlister!

Our next 6-week youth training program (ages 10–13) starts Sunday 2/1 🏃🏻 Link in bio for all the details!

Happy birthday to my beautiful wife, Lauren! One of the people I love celebrating more than anyone!
She’s the easiest person to celebrate and can light up a room with just a smile. She has the softest heart and loves deeply and intentionally, never casually.

She doesn’t just hear people, she sees them. She doesn’t love halfway, she shows up fully, and that’s what makes her feel so warm.

She’s a strong, smart, driven businesswoman who leads with integrity. She’s the best wife and mom. She is present, patient, and so incredibly loving with our kids. I honestly don’t know how she does it, but somehow she finds a way to do it all: running a business, leading our household, and pouring into our family with so much care and intention. It’s impressive, and I admire her in more ways than I can count.

I hope today she feels how deeply loved she is. I hope she feels celebrated, seen, and truly special, because she is!

Happy birthday 🎈
Michael
