About this episode

Mackenzie and Tracy discuss their experiences and opinions on group fitness, including controversial truths and class culture.

Mackenzie is packing her boots and heading to Nashville for a YEEHAW weekend that may or may not involve a man (!!), while Tracy is deep in the trenches of Mercury retrograde and feeling every bit of the chaos. Naturally, the girls debrief it all - from travel nerves to cosmic confusion - before diving into this week’s episode. Tracy and Mackenzie are sharing their group fitness hot takes - the opinions, observations, and mildly controversial truths every instructor and client has definitely thought but maybe hasn’t said out loud. From class culture and cueing to playlists, programming, and studio etiquette, nothing is off limits. Whether you’re an instructor or a die-hard class-goer, this episode will have you nodding, laughing, and maybe rethinking your next workout.
