Loving the McAlister Training workouts. Everyone is so welcoming & supportive. Really made me feel comfortable right off the bat. I enjoy that there is encouragement to work hard, but also plenty of room for me to take things at my own pace when needed. Also, when I struggle with certain exercises, each coach is right there with a modification!

“The class is so hard and challenging but everyone takes it at their own pace and works with where they're at. There's zero judgment, 100% encouragement from both instructor and fellow trainees throughout the workout. Michael especially is an attentive and supportive instructor while pushing you. The community is unlike anything I've seen before at a gym. Psyched I've been able to attend and get stronger while having fun. Massive kudos to Michael and Co. for running a well-oiled machine.”

Easily one of the best gyms I’ve been to! The gym itself is pristine, the equipment is everything you need (and more), the workouts are top notch (kicked my butt), and the team is world class. Michael and the rest of the team made it super easy for me to join the group for my first workout - I was on vacation and found them online…so glad I did! I’ll be back here every time I visit - if I lived in SLO, this would be my gym!!

I can't say enough positive words about McAlister's nutrition programming. Lauren kindly & positively coached me on so many food & nutrition facts and useful details. Lauren poured hours into her prep and recap info, making the entire experience so valuable. She helped me to feel comfortable and confident not only grocery shopping & meal planning, but also enjoying everyday foods! The McAlister approach is 100% attainable and realistic for everyone. I am forever grateful to Lauren for her expertise and knowledge, it has changed my entire approach to health and well-being in the best way!

The saddest part of having to leave SLO for another job is the fact that I have to leave behind McAlister Training. I have really enjoyed my time at the gym, and I hope I can find another studio similar to McAlister in Bend (it will be tough to find, but fingers crossed)For all I know, I will be back to visit SLO eventually. I'll be sure to stop by the studio for a lunchtime workout when I'm visiting!Thank you for creating such a lovely community and workout crew. Attending class became a daily necessity for me which I loved and will always appreciate. <3Cheers!

McAlister Training is the best gym around! Good vibes, the best trainers, killer playlists, and a brand new space that is always clean and spotless -- all while being surrounded by great people. Each workout is unique and challenging, and you always leave feeling better than when you walked in the door. Every trainer takes the time to get to know you and provides an all-around awesome, motivating experience. After living in big cities and experiencing class-based gyms offered elsewhere, nothing compares to the personalized touch and feeling of community that MT provides. I can't imagine a better place to start each day -- thank you, Lauren and Michael, for opening up such a great space!

The only way for me to consistently be able to do something over many years is I have to love doing it. I could never maintain a gym routine because it always got stale. I’ve been going to Mcalister for five + years now multiple times a week and at 46 I’m in the best shape of my life. The variety of classes is always changing and consistently fresh. The owners and instructors take pride in creating a clean, motivating, and non-pretentious space. Double thumbs up!!

I’m loving McAlister Training! I love that with each class I take, I will be challenged in new ways because there are always new movements to test your physical and mental strength. The atmosphere is friendly, lively, motivating, and encouraging! Not to mention great music! I would highly recommend trying it out.

This is the first review I have ever written, and I can proudly say that McAlister Training is worthy of it. They genuinely care beyond just “getting fit.” Being apart of McAlister’s is truly like being apart of a community. It’s evident in the care that they put into each workout, fun event outside of class, and every high five. Going to McAlister’s is a highlight of my week!

To start off I’d like to state that I am a D1 runner and have had plenty of tough workouts but nothing has kicked my butt like the workout that Michael set up. I was a little timid walking into the gym since I had never been there before but everyone was incredibly welcoming. The energy in the gym was insane, I had never met the people in the class but I felt like I was apart of a close team that wanted to build each other up and see their teammates excel and push themselves. What the McAlister’s have created is truly amazing and it felt awesome being apart of that environment they did so well cultivating. Michael was a great trainer and came up with a really innovative workout. Michael also acted as great coach correcting my form while not making me feel silly and he also pushed my comfort level. Definitely would recommend others to go to this gym if you can! There are also plans to expand the gym which is really exciting!!
