NASM Certified Personal Trainer · Athletic Lift
Skylar Macall is an online fitness coach based in Utah, a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, and a High Fitness instructor. Before coaching, she played rugby for a Division I college program, where she learned that showing up consistently, in the gym and in the kitchen, beats any short term fix. She reviews the training side of Athletic Lift.
I’ve lost more than 55 pounds twice, once on my postpartum journey. I don’t coach anything I haven’t lived myself.
That experience shapes how Skylar reviews Athletic Lift. When a guide makes a claim about training, recovery, or fueling a workout, she checks it against what actually works for real people with real schedules, not just what looks good on paper.
