Maco | Gym and Fitness WordPress Theme 1.7

Maco is a modern, high-energy WordPress theme designed specifically for gyms, fitness centers, CrossFit boxes, and personal trainers. Developed by ThemesAwesome, it strikes a balance between professional utility (like class scheduling) and a bold, aggressive aesthetic that suits the fitness industry.

While Opta (the theme you asked about previously) is about "white space and silence," Maco is about action and engagement.

Key Features

Integrated Page Builder: Uses a user-friendly drag-and-drop builder with 9+ custom "Maco" blocks (Team, Testimonials, Portfolio, etc.) to help you design layouts without code.

Fitness-Specific Sections: Includes dedicated layouts for trainer profiles, gym amenities, and fitness class descriptions.

Header & Footer Builder: Unlike many basic themes, Maco gives you granular control over your site's navigation and footer areas.

Modern Visuals: Features a "Dark Mode" aesthetic and high-contrast typography typical of professional fitness branding.

One-Click Demo Import: Allows you to set up your site quickly by importing the pre-made demo content.

Maco vs. Opta: Which should you choose?

Since you've asked about both, here is a quick comparison of their "vibes":

Choose Opta if: You are a Solo Artist or Photographer. You want a quiet, elegant site where your work speaks for itself through large images and lots of white space.

Choose Maco if: You are a Gym Owner or Coach. You need to display schedules, list your team of trainers, and convince potential members to sign up with energetic, high-impact visuals.

Things to Look Out For

Booking Systems: While Maco is great for displaying schedules, if you need a complex "book-and-pay" system for classes, you may need to pair it with a dedicated plugin like WooCommerce or Bookly.

Updates: Ensure you are using the latest version (currently around v1.7) to maintain compatibility with modern WordPress updates.

Would you like me to look for specific plugins that work well with Maco for class bookings or membership payments?
