We closed up shop (aka the studio) last night to lend a hand at ’s annual TAYSgiving event. We had so much fun meeting, serving, and playing a little co****le with the youth they support!

Being there reminded us in the best way why we pour our hearts into McToberfest every year. Your generosity makes a real impact, and we are so, so grateful 🫶

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!
