“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 a part of a close team that wanted to build each other up and see their teammates excel and push themselves.”

—Isabella H.

First class frequently asked questions:

  • We ask that you arrive 5-10 minutes early so we can give you a warm MT welcome! Be sure to bring a water bottle, too.

    When you arrive at the studio, our front desk will help you check in, give you a quick tour, and introduce you to your trainer. Your trainer will ask if you have any injuries or special considerations to make sure you feel comfortable and supported. They’ll also walk you through the flow of a typical workout, so you’ll know just what to expect.

    Throughout class, you’ll have the guidance of your trainer and the support of your workout partners!

  • You’re welcome to park in our shared parking lot or find street parking along Fuller Street.

    Please avoid parking in any spots marked “reserved,” as those are designated for residents of the complex. Thanks for helping us be good neighbors!

  • One hour, including a guided warm-up and cool-down.

  • Yes! For your first class, we’ll typically partner you up with a current member so you’re never guessing and always supported!

    If you’re coming with a friend who’s already a member, you’re welcome to go together. They’ll help show you the ropes.

  • Totally normal! We often say there’s about a five-class learning curve at McAlister. It takes a few sessions to learn the flow, terminology, and rhythm of class…and that’s completely expected.

    With consistency, things start to click quickly, and your trainer and workout partners will be there to support and cheer you on!

  • We get it—trying new things can be nerve-wracking. But please know this: Our studio is filled with people from all walks of life and fitness levels. We’re all here to celebrate progress (not perfection) and to cheer each other on.

  • Possibly, but in a good way.

    Some muscle soreness is normal, especially at first. Staying hydrated, moving lightly the next day (walking and foam rolling will feel magical), and getting good sleep will help!

  • After class, we’ll check in and help you decide what next steps make sense—whether that’s booking another class, exploring our intro offer, or simply celebrating that you showed up!

  Here’s what you can expect from each circuit training class: 

  • Show up early to stretch out and foam roll. It’s our favorite time check in with familiar faces, and welcome new ones!

  • Prep your body for the workout ahead with a variety of dynamic movements designed to activate key muscles and improve mobility.

    Fun fact: Our warm-up is the same for every group class. If you're new, we’ll pair you with a McAlister regular to guide you through the flow—don’t worry, you’ll have it down in no time!

  • Watch as your trainer breaks down each movement, offering form tips and options to accommodate a variety of fitness levels.

    What makes our programming unique is the thoughtful approach we take—balancing structure with variety to keep every workout fresh, challenging, and fun.

  • Partner up and get moving! Your trainer will pump the jams, make sure your form is on point, and give plenty of shout-outs to keep you going strong.

  • Follow your trainer’s lead and take a few minutes to cool down. Just a few minutes of stretching allows you to recover, reflect, and leave feeling grounded and ready to take on whatever comes next!

  • Celebrate your hard work with one last round of high fives. You crushed it!
