What Is MAC Fit?

MAC Fit is a dynamic, 45-minute functional fitness circuit led by a certified personal trainer. Located in the Fit Zone adjacent to the West Gym, this class features a variety of equipment, including kettlebells, dumbbells, medicine balls, assault bikes, ski ergs, row ergs, and more.

Each session is designed to be effective for all fitness levels while helping participants build strength for everyday activities. MAC Fit delivers an unparalleled, high-energy workout.

How Do Members Register for a MAC Fit Session?

To ensure a positive experience for all participants, registration is required for all MAC Fit classes. Due to space limitations, each class accommodates up to 12 members. If a class is full, members are encouraged to join the waitlist in case of any last-minute cancellations. To ensure full participation, please arrive no later than five minutes after the scheduled start time. Registration opens three days in advance and can be completed via the MAC app or website under the Group Exercise Schedule section.

For Whom Is This Class Best?

MAC Fit is the ideal program for anyone whose goal is to build strength, learn proper weightlifting techniques, incorporate conditioning, or challenge themselves physically.

MAC’s experienced coaches tailor exercises to suit participants’ individual body mechanics for optimal results. Members who are pregnant or postpartum are welcome to join, provided they maintained an active fitness routine prior to pregnancy. Continuing workouts is safe and beneficial during this time, with appropriate modifications.

What Are the Benefits of Weight Lifting?

Weightlifting offers a wide range of benefits for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. It helps build and maintain muscle mass, which naturally declines with age, improving strength, stability, and overall functional movement. Additionally, weightlifting supports bone density, reduces the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease, and promotes better mental health by boosting mood and reducing stress. Whether it’s to enhance athletic performance, improve daily life tasks, or just stay healthier, incorporating weightlifting into a workout routine can provide long-lasting, positive effects for the body and mind.

"As someone in her mid-40s, I am constantly hearing about the importance of protein, 10,000 steps a day, and strength training. I started attending MAC Fit as a way to get some strength training in. No one likes to do something they’re not good at, and the idea of jumping into a one-hour total strength class seemed intimidating, especially not knowing what the programming might be for that hour.

Because MAC Fit is circuit-based training, I love knowing what exercises we are doing and the duration of the interval. That really helps me mentally prepare for the exercises and decide how hard I want to go, knowing that certain exercises are coming up. Plus I love that it’s a quick 45 minutes. All of these things make the barrier to entry so much lower for someone new to strength training.” — Thao Nguyen
