Sometimes, things move quickly in our little town. We were so sad to see the Barre studio leave town, but before we even had time to fully process the loss, McKey Fitness was setting up shop.

It was a natural evolution for the space. Fitness coach Megan McKey was a long-time Barre instructor, and she was planning to take over the space in January. However, that timeline was bumped up a month when the space became available earlier than planned. "I told my clients that if they could support me paying the rent, we could open early, and here we are!" laughs Megan. 

 

This space has truly been a dream come true for the fitness focused McKeys. Their meal and supplement business has been a mainstay in the Zachary health community for years, and Megan has been branching out from Barre with her fitness pop-ups in the park for the past several months.

"We're still planning on holding tone and sculpt classes similar to Barre, but not as often," she explains, "the main focus will be on Functional Fitness - helping you to make your everyday life easier and healthier." There will also be body weight and strength training classes, as well as cardio and yoga. You'll find familiar equipment such as kettle bells and Pilates rings as well as hand weights between 5 and 15 lbs. 

"We want to make these classes welcoming and accessible for everyone. Someone who is new to fitness might want to start with one of our body weight classes, for example." Those who have already taken a class have left rave reviews. "This is the most welcomed I've ever felt in a fitness class," one said, adding that she especially appreciated Megan's humor to make it through challenging segments.

The McKeys are dedicated to bringing fitness classes to the community at an affordable price. Unlimited passes are just $130/month and you can try a class for only $1. They also have options to purchase 8 or 10 class passes. To sign up, scan the QR code   or drop by the studio!
