At Mac Vault, family is at the heart of everything we do.
Brittany Mcever and Bre Beacham love being twin sisters (and Coach Brad's daughters) who share the administration duties at the gym, working side by side to keep things running smoothly. Our family-owned and family-run business is built on the belief that vaulting is more than a sport — it’s a community.
From the moment you walk through our doors, you’re part of the Mac Vault family.
We take pride in creating an atmosphere where athletes of all levels feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged to grow — both on the runway and beyond.
Whether you’re here to sharpen your skills, compete, or simply connect with others who love the sport, we’re honored to share this journey with you.
Also, don't worry if you forget which of us you've talked to, or get us mixed up, it happens plenty and we love being able to help each other in work and help our athletes/parents have the best experience possible.
