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.

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 🫶

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 🫶

In the meantime, here are some fun facts about the newest member of the McAlister team!

Go-to karaoke song 🎤 Classic by MKTO

Childhood “claim to fame” ⭐️ Scoring a 3-point buzzer be**er in CYO basketball in 6th grade

Favorite SLO activity ☀️ Thursday night farmers market or beach days at Avila

Go-to drink order ☕️ Either an iced vanilla latte or iced matcha

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!
