The Story Behind MF Benton

After graduating from the University of Arkansas, Marietta McClure moved to Benton, AR, where she saw a need for her favorite kind of workout: group fitness classes. In 2010, she started hosting Bootcamp, HIIT, and yoga classes while working in full-time politics. Three years later, in 2013, Marietta grew her fitness clientele and opened a 7,000 sq ft. stand-alone brick-and-mortar location with a staff of ten. 

Today, McClure Fitness has become Arkansas’ largest group fitness studio, offering 70+ classes per week with a staff of 30 in an expanded space just under 12,000 sq feet.
