Fave move: “I love lateral raises,” says Macey, who is a bikini model competitor and full-time student. “They help round out your shoulders and make them strong and shapely.”

Alone or with a buddy: “I prefer to train alone,” she says. “My workouts are very intense and I have an incredible focus factor.”

Her start: Macey first hit the weights as a teenager. She was inspired by former Oxygen models, such as Amy Fadhli, and started using the weights at the local gym where she taught swimming lessons.
