The Rack Athletic Performance Center

Positive experience: I wanted to share their rates since it’s not posted on their site for anyone that’s looking. They were very informative and helpful. 4x/week for 4 weeks at $499 3x/week for 4 weeks at $420. 2 month minimum commitment.

Fantastic experience: Great group of people offering training for ALL levels.

Fantastic experience: The best coaches that have helped me get to where I am today. Amazing facility that's always clean and offers the best equipment.

Positive experience: Great gym and unique equipment BUT the "music"is usually loud vulgar rap.

Fantastic experience: Love the environment and trainers

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to The Rack for individual training since February 2017. I am older and the strength they have help me build is amazing! I am thankful for them, everyday! All the trainers are great. They understand what different individuals need and can cater to any problem areas you may have.

Fantastic experience: Man, love everything about this place. I was in Atlanta for a few months and needed a top notch workout facility and The Rack exceeded all my needs - first class all the way. State of the art equipment, best trainers I’ve come across and an atmosphere that makes it easy to do hard work. The Rack also sets you up with an initial consultation which includes strength measuring and then after a few weeks, revisits and sees how far you’ve come - I blew through my initial tests after only a few weeks at The Rack - results results results. They also have different packages for your personalized needs - 1-on-1 training, group classes, membership pass, and more. Shout out to Ed, Jermaine, Jared and the whole Rack crew. Look no further for the best workout facility

Negative experience: A girl can deadlift 250, bench 120, squat about 200, enjoy Olifts, want to get better and be willing and able to invest in 1:1 coaching -- and all the Rack can offer is uninspiring and unenthusiastic coaches. It's a great facility with great equipment, but thoroughly disappointing in terms of effort from those that you pay to uplift and make you better. My second coach was definitely better than the first, mad props to him. The first coach was always on his phone during 1:1 training sessions - he missed my 250 deadlift and also booked his holiday trip airport parking during one of my sessions - he was also consistently 10 mins late to sessions (I'm sure it wouldn't fly if I were consistently late to training) - overall, something about the biz model needs to change to help the trainers be more into their sessions and make the client training experience better.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. Excellent trainers. Cannot recommend this place enough for anyone serious about getting into shape

Fantastic experience: Incredible coaching and atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Great team that helps optimize individual and performance growth based on the athletic pursuit and physical make up of the individual.

Fantastic experience: I've seen the results from my younger son in a short period of time and now I have my older son who is a semi pro going. They work on what’s needed for their body strength and weakness with their personal plan

Fantastic experience: It's a very high quality gym the coaches are nice and educated and know what they are doing and it's suitable for about any sport and for people who just want to be in shape

Fantastic experience: Love this Gym. Coaches are a great vibe between pushing you hard as hell and being close friends so the work seems like okay. Been going since May. 4-5 times a week

Fantastic experience: Spencer is great. My son really enjoys working with him and is motivated each workout. Spencer understands his goals and works specifically to help him reach them!

Fantastic experience: Our daughter absolutely loves going to the Rack and working with her coach Matt. It is the highlight of her weekend. School sports prevent her from going more frequently, but it is her highest priority.

Fantastic experience: Ed and his entire team over at The Rack Athletic Performance Center have an incredible depth and pursuit of knowledge, care deeply abut their clients, and have one of the most well equipped gyms in all of Atlanta. A no brainer if you're looking for an elite training facility.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for personal trainers in the Atlanta area a few months ago and stumbled upon this facility. I really wanted to upgrade my body and appearance so I took it upon myself to just say it's time to get serious. I was able to see Brandon to get things started as far as scheduling and told him my realistic goals and I was ready for this long term commitment to myself. I got assigned to Jared as my personal trainer and he's a cool down to earth guy and I look forward to him helping me out on this journey of transformation. All the other coaches are hella cool as well and I feel they felt my good energy as a person every time I pull up. The facility is clean and a nice size environment as I don't have any complaints at all. I can say I'm glad I found this gym to be my go to place and giving this review to support the facility. Ed, the owner, did an awesome job creating this space.

Fantastic experience: Whatever type of training your looking for THE RACK is the place. This gym has every machine imaginable to target whichever muscle group you're looking to strengthen or rehabilitate. All of their trainers are TOP NOTCH! If you think your training, I'm here to personally tell you, your not until your at THE RACK. The gym is always clean, the members are welcoming and most importantly a DAMN GOOD workout!

Fantastic experience: The Rack's approach is rooted in the philosophy that no two people have the same fitness journey. The staff focuses on purposeful training, evident in its specialized equipment and customized programs. The equipment is carefully chosen, the trainers are highly skilled, offering a range of programs, from strength-building to endurance training, to sports performance. A standout feature of The Rack is its community, comprised of competitive athletes, spanning baseball to football to volleyball, to enthusiasts, from weekend lifters to mountain summiteers. Clients are encouraged to push themselves, while also being supported by peers and trainers. This creates a positive and inclusive environment where clients are motivated to achieve their full potential.

Fantastic experience: The Rack is the best gym I have been to. The staff are encouraging, support, understanding, and easy to talk with. They truly care about their clients. Truly thankful to have find this gem of a gym. I always look forward to my next day there. Thank you all.

Fantastic experience: Very nice!

Fantastic experience: Access to very nice equipment along with tools to help track your progress. Amazing personnel that are extremely motivating and a wealth of knowledge to help you reach your goals as safely and efficiently as possible.

Fantastic experience: Every day is another great workout and each coach is there to help you. Khalil was there to not only help correct the wrong things, but also make you feel in a comfortable environment to lift the weight you can lift.

Fantastic experience: There is no place better to train if you are a serious athlete trying to get better.This facility has every piece of equipment you could want to get better. I have been training with Kalil for a little over a year now and it has been a game changer. I play D1 soccer and I have unfortunately been dealing with injuries my entire college career. Before starting training with Kalil I could feel myself falling behind as I let me knee rest, but I didn’t know how to keep training without hurting my knee more. Kalil has been able help me modify my training and really make progress without putting any additional stress or pain on my knee while also increasing my strength to prevent these injuries in the future. As I go into my last collegiate season, I feel the strongest I have in a long time and working with Kalil has been a major part of that.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly and accommodating organization for my teen son's workouts! Coach Spencer has been great and the facilities are top notch! Caitie makes you feel like family and responsive to questions or concerns. We have been happy here and the app makes scheduling very easy!

Fantastic experience: Brandon was great! Enjoyed getting to know him in our first session. He is professional, knowledgeable and supportive as I continue the early stages of my fitness journey. The Rack is filled with all skill levels of athletes-everyone is friendly and helpful which creates a welcoming environment. Love it!!

Fantastic experience: Highly motivated and educated team of coaches. I feel we are in good hands and our health is being protected I have been working out/exercising for more than 55 years. Some of the time joining gyms and other times working out in my home gym. I'm not a bodybuilder or a power lifter. Just an average person who enjoys working out because of how it makes me feel and look. I joined "The Rack" and once a week meet with a trainer, Jermaine Hough aka Jr. The quality and quantity of the equipment is fabulous. What makes it even better is the professionalism and willingness of the entire training staff to assist you to get the most out of your workout. If you are looking for a place to workout/exercise then you should definitely check out "The Rack"!

Fantastic experience: This is a very clean gym and the coaches are skilled at what they do. I had a session with Kalil last week which was the perfect mixture of effort and rest. Communication was very clear and I look forward to more sessions here. Good music too! Update: I've been working with Kalil consistently for 5-6 months and he is an industrious and well educated coach. As a general population participant, having a program designed for me has improved my quality of life and has indirectly strengthened my yoga practice.

Fantastic experience: The Rack is an amazing facility. You can be a professional athlete, 15, 50, or in your later years of life and they will be able to make you a better version of yourself. The facility is spotless, equipment is terrific, and most importantly the staff extremely is well trained and listens to what you want to accomplish.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, great workouts, great vibes.

Fantastic experience: I decided to train to improve my basketball skills. Sherrod has helped me improve my vertical, upper and lower body strenght. I noticed a higher level in my game in a short time because of the professional equipment and Sherrod's guidance.

Fantastic experience: One training session with Khalil was more than a months worth of working out at planet fitness he also enlightened to more about fitness that I didn't know before.

Fantastic experience: this elite training-facility definitely has it: very best equipment most knowledgeable staff friendly/welcoming atmosphere ... other gyms lacking‍♂️

Fantastic experience: Very clean, slick training environment with both plenty of space for lifters to use as well as top of the line equipment for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, bodybuilding, strongman, and also functional equipment specialised for athletes. Not to mention the light, comfortable atmosphere and good music.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the rack! Kalil Sherrod is the best trainer I’ve ever met - so knowledgeable, professional, and a great motivator! He brings his A game to every workout, everyday.

Fantastic experience: After lifting in chain fitness places for over 10 years, feeling like I wasn't really 'strong', and injuring myself to the point of requiring a surgery, I finally said enough was enough and looked for a place to actually 'train' at. Not just lift, train. Rack APC hit all the targets I was looking for -their focus, staff, equipment, approach, location. Started in 01/20 with one request: I'd like to get my core strong. Not Duane Johnson strong, just strong. A year later? All that and more. I've worked with a trainer 2x a week. He's patient, pushes hard to my capabilities, and I'm definitely better for it. Can't wait to see where I am this time next year.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about The Rack. Great facility with top notch equipment and none of the commercial gym BS. I came here in November looking for a place to continue my powerlifting training. I had never considered hiring a coach, but after talking to Kalil I decided to give it a shot. Best decision I have ever made. I’ve been working with Kalil for 5 months now and am not only the strongest I have ever been, but in the best shape of my life. Results speak for themself and that’s what you get when you work with him. Don’t take my word for it though, if you’re a hard worker and have a goal in mind, come see what he can do for you.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a place to work out near the office when I stumbled across The Rack Athletic Performance Center and Kalil. It is not your average "gym" but rather a one-on-one or group training environment customized just for you. The equipment is incredible, the atmosphere friendly, and the facility clean. I like that everyone is there for a purpose and not social hour. Most importantly, I like the tailored work out plan and motivation Kalil provides each week to keep me pushing forward. If you are looking to get in shape or improve your strength, then Kalil at The Rack is where you want to be.

Fantastic experience: Coming up on my 32nd birthday I knew I needed to change my routine from just walking into a big box gym and "knowing my way around." I knew I needed to be more intentional and focused with my overall fitness and health. I went for a free consultation/testing at The Rack and was introduced to my trainer Kalil. The gym itself is clean, fun, and has all of the equipment I knew my old gym was missing. Kalil is very knowledgeable about his craft and clearly understands how to combine your goals with your currrent shortcomings to help get you where you want to be. We've only been working together for two weeks now and I feel noticeably different, most importantly, in how I feel after I play basketball. I haven't felt this good the morning after playing in a long time. I highly recommend checking out The Rack and asking to work with Kalil!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Ed, the owner is super kind and professional and I really enjoy training with Kalil. He’s top notch and incredibly knowledgeable. The gym is always super clean and organized and the equipment is fantastic! I love the Rack! Thanks Ed for creating such a wonderful space for people to train!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Khalil for the past month on my strength in order to get faster at swimming, and have had a great experience. Khalil has taught me many new exercises while making sure my form was correct. The gym itself is also always very clean and a great environment to work out in.

Fantastic experience: Now THIS is a gym!!!!!

Fantastic experience: There are not enough superlatives to describe Ed Miller and his expertise, knowledge and professionalism. Ed is completely driven by the needs of his clients - whether athletes in training or aging baby boomers. He designs programs and trains them all - highly personalized and highly effective. His associates uphold his same high standards, making The Rack APC the premier training facility in Atlanta.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding coaching quality, good location, professional training equipment and highly motivated environment. You can find everyone from professional athletes, serious strength competitors to children and families here. Staff has taken a proactive response to the pandemic, and safety never feels like an issue.

Fantastic experience: Top notch equipment for training to bodybuild, power lift or compete in strongman. Great atmosphere, clean space and never too crowded. The personal training is excellent too with individualized assessment and regimine specific to your needs. We have been members for over a year!

Fantastic experience: I've been training there for nearly two years now...great atmosphere, excellent equipment, and the staff is always trying to improve both the gym itself AND your experience. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: The Rack is top tier! One of the best places in the state of Georgia for people to train. They have a quality coaching staff and all of the latest equipment. They also have a very affordable open gym membership!

Fantastic experience: Ed and his qualified team at The Rack have contributed to my overall health and wellbeing. I've become stronger and more flexible over the year and look forward to each session. Ed specifically customizes a program based on your goals and keeps the sessions fresh and fun. The Rack is the cleanest gym I've ever witnessed which is very important during these times. Check them out!

Fantastic experience: Switched to this gym about 5 months ago. Was a little hesitant because the commute was longer, but had heard great things. Haven’t been in many mid-sized gyms, but this one is very well designed, extensive equipment, and very detailed. Looks like the gym for a college football team, very clean and all the bells and whistles. Trainers are all very knowledgeable and are working with everyone from your average Joe to your high school / college athletes. I’ve working with the nutritionist that they partner with to help straighten out my diet to match my workout goals and one of the trainers even does learning sessions to help you learn more about your body fat, recovery, your body in general, etc. All said, if you’re looking for a clean, one stop shop gym, with trainers who see you as someone that wants to get better and not dollar signs, then this gym is for you.

Fantastic experience: As a former student-athlete at the collegiate level, I cannot recommend this place enough for amateur and professional athletes as well as anyone looking to truly change their overall health and fitness. The Rack has everything you could want in equipment with the amazing staff to go with it. Their attention to detail and drive really shows they care about their clients. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Positive experience: I was interested in joining The Rack, but unfortunately, I never received a response to my request for an appointment that was sent a month ago. A week later, I sent an email to one of their coaches but it went unanswered too. I can very much relate my experience to one of the one-star reviews here. It would have been nice if you could take time and update your website with notice when you are not accepting members anymore. I'm still giving three stars here to respect the positive reviews by other members here.

Fantastic experience: Just moved down to Atlanta and after a week working out here already feel at home. Being an athlete its hard finding a gym that has the right atmosphere and equipment to get the job done but this gym has it all! The owner and trainers are all friendly and knowledgeable and are always available to answer any questions you have. All the people working out there are friendly but at the same time about getting their work done! They have reverse hypers,atp,inverse curl, standing leg curl, a million different bars and sleds etc. Its also prob the cleanest gym I’ve ever been too despite it being a strength gym which is usually dirty so added bonus!

Fantastic experience: Ed is absolutely the best in the business. The kids respond and work hard with his proven method of training. We are thankful for the time and effort Ed and his staff gave my son on a daily basis and will recommend The Rack to anybody that wants to see outstanding results. We have been to many trainers and the biggest difference we saw was while he trained at the Rack. It was amazing from Day 1. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Well organized, highly skilled, intelligent trainers who are keyed into their clients unique needs. They don't overbook. They ensure that clients are paired with the best trainer to help them meet their goals. It's the cleanest facility that I've ever been in with equipment that is well cared for through a culture of respect for the facility (and excellent cleaning products)! I appreciate the fact that everyone is there to train and there's a congenial spirit amongst the clientele. It's fantastic and I'm glad to have found them.

Fantastic experience: This is the absolute best Gym in Atlanta. Not only does it have the top of the line, professional equipment, but also has incredibly dedicated, knowledgeable and professional trainers and coaches. Whether you are an athlete looking to improve your performance or a an adult looking to focus on the health benefits of weight and strength training, The Rack should be the first choice on your list to consider. I have been a member of the Rack for more than 3 years now, and in that time, I have gained strength, lost weight and improved my physical endurance...all thanks to the team at The RACK

Fantastic experience: Rob, my coach has been a blessing. I am so glad I decided to continue working with him when he relocated to The Rack. He has consistently challenge me. Developed training programs specifically for me. Programs that change to address and focus my body type and physiology. Programs that change consistently to challenge me but also to keep things new, interesting, obtainable goals The coaching sessions are very challenging which I truly appreciate. The programs are different from his other clients. His dedication to his profession is evident in his work ethic and the continuing education he does. I was immediately impressed by the facility and staff. The owner Ed as well as his entire staff have been very welcoming. He has a first class facility. The staff are organized, highly skilled, intelligent and understanding of their clients unique needs The equipment is well cared for through a culture of respect for the facility. Supportive and wonderful spirit amongst the clientele.

Fantastic experience: The Rack is the cleanest facility I have ever seen. I have been going here for 2 years after coming from the commercial gyms. The staff here is welcoming and friendly yet down to earth and fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking into strength training, weightlifting, Bodybuilding, and/or powerlifting. If you are interested in a trainer they have professional and incredibly talented selection. I recommend Robert Jacobs everyday all day.

Fantastic experience: Cleanest personal training gym I've ever been in. They focus on making sure people can improve themselves without worrying about the pandemic through temperature checks upon entry, wiping down each piece of equipment after each use, and having a wipe down of everything, every night. Apart from that, Ed and his team and fantastic trainers who respect their customers regardless of how they look. Wanting to shed some pounds in the right way with workouts you are actually able to do? Wanting to gain more muscle strength and are already in good shape? It's for everyone. There aren't a bunch of psychotic muscles heads or whining customers...people come there to work and make progress. I suggest the Small Group Sessions for people on more of a budget. It's a great value that still gets you personal training and a plan tailored to your needs. Great job Ed and team! Love the Rack Family!

Fantastic experience: Friendly Gym. Great Staff

Fantastic experience: No other place like it.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Ed I’ve successfully recovered from an ACL tear. And my wife occasionally gives me a compliment on my physique which must mean something is going right.

Fantastic experience: Ed works with you to build your strength against your goals. Takes care of your form and encourages you to be better than your last session. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Ver professional and highly knowledgeable staff. They take the time to create a program tailored to each individual and work around any limitations.

Negative experience: Very racist and unprofessional. The guy would not acknowledge my presence when i walked in to busy watch tv on his laptop but looked at me out the side of his eye. Had to walk into the middle of the gym before being acknowledged only to be sent back to the man who did not speak in the first place. He was very nasty and would not give me any info about the gym other than u had to buy a membership plan to attend the gym

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I have seen in Atlanta, and so far in my life. Plenty of space and have everything for someone wanting to take their performance to the next level.

Fantastic experience: I love this place! All the trainers are super helpful and the equipment is excellent. All the other clients are respectful of the equipment and friendly. I have been going for a bit over a year and I hope I can keep going for a long time.

Negative experience: I sent in a request for an appointment to see the place and possibly join, but it went unanswered. If you are not interested in increasing your membership, a notice needs to be on the webpage. Then people like me wouldn't waste our time requesting appointments.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at The Rack since almost their very beginning, watching it grow & expand to have ANY EQUIPMENT YOU NEED! I love it there, and the staff is great! They wrote my programs and I made TREMENDOUS gains! If you are looking for the BEST gym in Atlanta, this is it!

Fantastic experience: Highly knowledgeable, skilled, and enthusiastic staff; Custom programs; Convenient scheduling; Consistent results; Positive vibe; Top notch equipment; Amazing music speakers and wheelie stands ;-) In the past, I did not particularly enjoy strength training, so I often wouldn’t do it. I finally realized it was critical to getting the most out of other stuff I like to do (tennis, running, spinning) and to preventing injury as I get older. Working primarily with Nick (but all the staff are fantastic) I’ve consistently trained for about 3 years and am ecstatic with the results. As only 1 of many examples, when I started I had trouble squatting properly. Nick recognized an issue with my glutes and referred me to a physio who fixed the issue. Now I can squat with respectable weight! And strength training is pretty darn fun. I have learned Olympic weight lifting moves, and custom programs change things up every 4 weeks to keep it interesting and to make progress.

Fantastic experience: As a recent retiree, I decided that I needed to get into much better shape for the next 30 years. I signed up for personal training with Nick. It’s been great. But that’s only part of why I like the Rack. One day when Nick was out, I was working on piece of equipment that was new to me. While Nick had showed me how to safely load and unload it, I had forgotten his instructions. One trainer stepped in as I was about to improperly add weights. He both reminded me how to safely load the bar as he helped me add weights. When I finished, a second trainer, having seen my earlier inexperience, stepped in to help me unload the bar, again, reminding me how to this safely. Later in the day, I needed a spot when bench pressing. A third trainer gladly helped me even though he was in the middle of training someone else. His client did not seem to mind at all. Everyone gets it, safety first. The point of all this is that Rack seems to have found staff that genuinely cares about the safety and success of its members. My experience that day was not unique. I have seen the staff help and guide other members many times. I don’t think staff like the Rack’s happens randomly. It comes from carefully vetting each trainer before hiring them on. The right people with the right experience and attitude go a long way in helping me reach my goals. Great job guys!

Fantastic experience: Best facility in the city.

Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere of this place. Staff/coaches are friendly. A place built for athletes or a wanna-be like myself.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and awesome competition grade equipment

Fantastic experience: Great facility, great people.

Fantastic experience: Great gym!

Fantastic experience: It's like Cheers except a gym. Everyone's​there to work but help you through the process. Had everything you need and a great vision.

Fantastic experience: Squat racks, platforms, prowlers, big weights, turf, my kind of gym!
