Fit Happens is the no-BS wellness podcast hosted by NYC-based fitness trainers and certified good-time girls, Tracy and Mackenzie. We’re here to sweat, sip, and spill the tea on all things health, fitness, and finding balance. Think of us as your workout buddies who won’t judge your 6am Pilates class or your 2am slice of pizza. From gym hacks to hangover cures, we’re keeping it real, keeping it fun, and reminding you that being “healthy” doesn’t mean skipping happy hour. Because in this city—and in life—Fit Happens.
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.

Navigating Friendships: Keeping, Losing, & Finding Your People
This week, we're discussing friendships in your 20's and 30's - how they start, how they grow, and how they evolve over time. We kick things off by sharing how our own friendship began, including the exact moments we each knew this was a ride-or-die connection.
From there, we get into the real complexities of adult friendships - making new friends, maintaining old ones, navigating distance, setting boundaries, and what to do when things start to shift. From group chats to growing pains, we unpack the balance between holding on and letting go, and how to find your people in every season of life.

The Cardio Comeback
This week on Fit Happens, we kick things off with a chaotic weekend recap that truly has everything: our favorite hangover remedies, a DJ set in a fully carpeted room (??), and what was supposed to be a casual drink that somehow turned into an accidental trip to a reggaeton bar (IT’S SUMMA TIME).
After the debrief, we get into the main event: the cardio comeback. For years the fitness industry tried to convince us that cardio was the enemy, but the science (and common sense) says otherwise. We’re breaking down why cardio never actually deserved the villain era and why it’s having a major resurgence right now.
We talk about the longevity benefits of aerobic fitness, what VO₂ max actually is (and why it’s one of the strongest predictors of long-term health), and how walking, running, dance cardio, and other heart-pumping movement can support everything from mental health to energy levels. We also unpack the anti-cardio era of the 2010s, where lifting reigned supreme and steady-state cardio was treated like a personality flaw. Plus, we share our own relationships with cardio - from dance backgrounds and running routines to the workouts that actually make it fun enough to stick with.
