McAlister Training

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.

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.

Another January birthday at the studio! Happy belated to Melissa 🫶

She’s the friendly face you see at the front desk a few mornings a week, and we’re so grateful for everything she does to help keep things running smoothly!

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

Today we’re celebrating Corey 🙌 If you’ve ever been in a class next to him or been trained by him, you know just how awesome he is. He’s hard-working, encouraging, and always leading by example (including grabbing some of the heaviest dumbbells we have!). We’re so grateful to have him on the schedule and in our studio fam. Happy birthday, Corey!

Being a great trainer is about more than workouts, it’s about making people feel seen, welcomed, and cared for. And if you know Lex, you know this is absolutely her superpower ❤️

Fam, will you help us wish Lex a VERY happy 2-year MT trainiversary?! Lex, we’re so grateful for you and all that you bring to our studio 🙌

Yesterday, we got everyone together for our official check photo, and it was yet another reminder of how meaningful the work of truly is!

Thanks to your generosity, we raised $14,554 for their Give Joy campaign 🙌 This support helps families meet their most important needs and experience the joy of the season, from full tables and warm clothes to decorations and gifts.

An extra special shoutout to Lindsey, who went above and beyond during McToberfest and single-handedly raised over $1,500!!! Linds, thank you for pouring your heart into this fundraiser! You’re simply the best.

We’re so thankful to be in the company of people who show up for one another and for our broader SLO community. Thank you for helping make the holidays brighter for so many families! You should all be so proud 🫶
