Athletic Republic Cary

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great classes, great instructors, clean!

Fantastic experience: Very good gym. Staff is very friendly and treats you like family. Would recommend to any beginners

Fantastic experience: Love! love! Love!

Fantastic experience: My child loves this place and the staff! I highly recommend attending!

Fantastic experience: The facility is fantastic. Trainers are awesome.

Fantastic experience: Both of our boys have been going to AR classes since it opened. We love all of the instructors and the environment is so supportive and encouraging. The owner, Alen, is always around and immediately responds to any questions we have. Our boys seem to get a little stronger and faster each month, which is also nice.

Fantastic experience: Wow, this place is a teen athlete's dream come true! Not only is it sparkling clean, but the training in incredible. The trainers all have very impressive backgrounds and education, and care so much about each athlete. They track your progress and have written plans on what you will be doing each day so no time is wasted. We are SO happy this opened up in Cary and would highly recommend. After 18 months of attending I would like to update my review to say my teen loves it more than ever. He has had HUGE gains in all measurables (vertical, 60, leg press etc) and looks forward to attending any chance he gets. Couldn't recommend more strongly.

Fantastic experience: Very enjoyable for the whole family. Good workouts have not had the same one twice.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience! Allen and the team are great! Kids loved coming to this facility! Great program for tenagers!

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to develop agility for sports fitness ..

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at Athletic Republic while I completed around 3 months of ACL rehab with Coach Devin. The program was great, as I was transitioning through the many different phases of ACL protocol. It was also extremely individualized and personal during the process. I would definitely return to AR for regular training, as well as recommend the ACL program to people looking for a place!

Fantastic experience: My family has been going to Athletic Republic of Cary 3-4 days a week for just over a month now and we absolutely love it! My oldest son is senior this year and is going to college in the fall to play football, so we were looking for a comprehensive program to help get him ready for the rigors of college football (especially with the uncertainties going in as a freshmen). After we did the initial free trial/assessment class, we all were immediately sold and decided to sign up for the Family Membership. Alen has done an amazing job building out the training staff. Everyone is super professional, extremely knowledgeable, and amazing to work with. Coming from a family of athletes who loves to play sports and train year-round, AR has been a breath of fresh air for all of us. It can get very mundane (especially for a pre-teen and teen-agers) going to the “gym” basically to do the same thing over and over again. Definitely do not have to worry about that at AR – every class offers something new and challenging – which we all really appreciate! I have been playing sports and working out my entire life and I love the morning AR-FIT class. I typically do the 6 or 7am session with Nicki as the trainer and she does an excellent job. My kids are 17/15/12, and they go to the Acceleration and Functional Strength sessions (2 different classes) in the afternoon for a total of 1.5 hours. Devin, Julia, and Nicki have all been their trainers and they really enjoy working with each of them. My 15 yr old daughter plays High School and travel volleyball. My 12 yr old son plays football, basketball, tennis, and soccer. Athletic Republic of Cary offers a variety of challenges for all skill levels for both the parents and the kids. I highly recommend taking advantage of the free trial to check it out!

Fantastic experience: Always exceeding my expectations with highly supportive trainers, daily unique workouts and advanced equipment. I worked with trainer Nikki, who is knowledgeable in the workouts and very supportive in making sure that I am motivated and improving my performance. Alan (the owner) is very accommodating and was always there to support as needed. I would strongly recommend trying Athletic Republic if you are in West Cary and interested in improving your fitness.

Fantastic experience: Update: my son, now in 6th grade, has been training here for just over a year. He still enjoys Ignition classes, as well as functional strength, recovery, and sensory enhanced training. The trainers make it fun for him, and he is learning good form, injury prevention. You can see the positive impact in his form, agility, and endurance on the soccer pitch and basketball court.

Fantastic experience: When I returned home from college for the summer, I wanted training to keep myself in shape and improve my fitness. Training at Athletic Republic over the summer gave me an edge when I returned to campus and was competing with the UNC Club Tennis team. The trainers developed a plan personalized to my specific athletic needs and provided individual attention during sessions. Athletic Republic is a great choice for college students and athletes of all levels looking for summer training!

Fantastic experience: The Athletic Republic team provided an amazing opportunity for the Bacana Beach athletes to have a place to train and further their athletic abilities. All of our athletes provided great feedback on the staff facility and their personal progress. Each of the athletes saw great improvement in multiple aspects of their athletic abilities. We highly recommend any athlete looking to enhance their speed and agility, to go to Athletic Republic.

Fantastic experience: After looking into a few places for our club (Sinjin Beach Volleyball) to do the off season workouts, it was a no brainer to go with Athletic Republic of Cary. Alan and his team were fantastic for our athletes. They include a scientific methodology to how they train people and the results proved the effectiveness. I would highly recommend working with Athletic Republic. They will help unlock your potential in a safe environment and push you to the next level. Stephen Kidder Co-Owner of Sinjin Beach

Fantastic experience: I love going to athletic republic they help me with my strength and acceleration and the work space is really good

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to AR for a couple of weeks now and I can by far say it is the best place to go for athletic training. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is super encouraging. Your training schedule is tailored to you and your sport. Your schedule is personalized to work on your strengths and weaknesses. Personally my favorite part is the treadmill cause it has so many different settings to help you get faster. The trainers are very easy to come to when you have questions. Classes are held in very small groups so there is healthy competition among peers. The training has definitely shown some improvement in my game. Plus it was great that they offer a trial before so you don’t have to immediately commit. I definitely recommend AR for your athletic training needs.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality My 15 year old enjoys her workouts. She says they are challenging, fun, and looks forward to going. I think it helps that the sessions are with kids her own age which is not common for gyms. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: After transferring from the University of Virginia to the University of North Carolina, I had some time at home to train and get ready for the summer and fall. I wanted meaningful training that was pretty much identical to the work done at my school. Athletic Republic was just what I needed incorporating the perfect combination of plyometric, speed, and strength work. I was able to measure the symmetry of my body and exerted force as well as increase my speed, improve form, and jump higher. All the exercises I did were the same or very close to identical to what I did with some of the best strength trainers in the country at the University of Virginia. I highly recommend Athletic Republic not only for collegiate and professional athletes but also middle and high school athletes looking to advance themselves to the next level and have an unreal advantage to their competition.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place and even better people. Adult, teen and youth training at the highest levels. Our entire family is super excited.

Fantastic experience: I started the AR-Fit Adult Classes last week and I cannot say enough good things. First of all, the one hour classes are truly that- 1 full heart pounding, sweat inducing hour. The trainers don't short change you at all- truly not even a minute. The hour includes strength, cardio and mobility. I assumed because of my very modest athletic ability that I would be struggling through the session- but Kennie and Devin are both atune to the fitness level of the class and are always ready with modifications or an extra push of support. I walk out of the class feeling so great about the effort and time I put in and truly excited for the progress to come.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality i’m a swim commit for a D1 university and they have helped me prepare for the upcoming season! i highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent facility with great coaches who really put there time into the kids they are coaching. They push them to bring out the best in them. No matter the sport or age they have a program setup for them to excel. If your kid wants to excel in there sport and be at the top of there game then definitely check out AR and they will help get them where they need to be.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love working out at Athletic Republic. I normally have trouble motivating myself to exercise and even if I do go to the gym I don't push myself as much as I could. I never find this problem in AR because there's a trainer constantly keeping track of me. All the trainers are so wonderful and they give helpful advice on how to maintain the proper form so you don't get hurt while doing the workout.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Very high quality and diversified instruction-keeps the body guessing! Trainers go above and beyond to adapt to your pace and ability level. Personable staff and kind-hearted owner. Highly, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The AR provides specific work outs tailored to our teen athletes as well as effective work outs in the adults classes. The trainers are very knowledgeable, the facility is top-notch, the location in west Cary is very close to 540 and registering for classes is very convenient. I would recommend the AR for the entire family.

Fantastic experience: My son Colin started the Summer intensive training sessions under Sports Performance Training in June and he has been enjoying the experience. The trainers are very nice and great with instructions for the teens to follow. The owner Allen McKnight couldn't be any nicer to parents looking into available programs Athletic Republic has to offer to help understand what fits each of their childrens needs accordingly. So happy this type of training facility opened in Cary NC for my son to have access to utilize all it has to offer him.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality We have been members there since shortly after it opened, and the experience has been extremely positive for my son. Being able to have and see measurable results has motivated him to go beyond where he might normally have. All aspects have been communicated well.

Fantastic experience: My son, Ishaan has been going to Athletic Republic Cary for last few months now and we’re very satisfied with this fabulous facility. They have great programs to help the athletes or someone with fitness goals, they have great coaches too who work towards the overall fitness of the athlete. I have seen a positive shift in the fitness goals of my son , he talks enthusiastically on how he’s getting stronger and looks forward to going to Athletic Republic which makes me really happy as a parent. Scheduling or canceling a class is also very simple. The owner, Alen is great at communicating and can be reached easily in case of any queries. Overall, I feel it’s a great fitness place for teenagers or adults!!

Fantastic experience: The entire experience at Athletic Republic Cary has been outstanding! I have participated in the AR-FIT classes 3-5 days per week since April. The classes are always a mix of challenge and variety. The small class size allows for exercise modification and feedback on technique, allowing everyone to participate safely. I really enjoy the community of members who I see on daily basis. It makes for a fun and motivating experience! The entire staff has been fantastic! I am very impressed that each and every employee is able to handle multiple class types, ages and backgrounds. Every client is supported and encouraged, no matter their background or fitness level. I highly recommend the Athletic Republic to anyone looking to improve their overall fitness, strength and mobility!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Great atmosphere (a training studio vs a factory-feeling gym), incredibly clean and state of the art equipment with expert trainers. Husband and I attend the HIIT-style adult classes in the am and our son attends the teen classes in pm. I've tried nearly all the gyms/studios in our area and I can say this one is special.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality It has professional team of coaches training to get to next level of fitness. We have family membership and use Ignition, Acceleration and AR Fit lessons couple of times a week. While the training sessions are group trainings, coaches do modify a exercises in AR Fit to balance different levels of fitness.

Fantastic experience: I found this company while looking for a place for my children to workout during the summer to prepare for little league football. I was impressed with the facilities, the trainers and also how they keep my sons (age 10 and 12) engaged during the workouts. It was fun for them and they were in great shape once the season started. My sons were prepared for the season and it showed during the first few days of football practice. Other kids were exhausted and my sons were ready for more! My children learned skills and drills that they can use in the future. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Leg day

Fantastic experience: My son, Declan started attending classes at Athletic Republic in June of this year. I thought he might push back going to workouts during the summer, but he has enjoyed it so much, we're continuing our membership for the upcoming year. After a few weeks, he was able to start seeing improvement & is looking forward to seeing how it transitions to the soccer pitch in the Spring. The trainers are great with the teens & the owner, Alen is great as well. He's very responsive & if he doesn't know the answer to your question, he will make sure he gets it for you. I highly recommend this facility!

Fantastic experience: My daughter Neha Melappalayam joined a month ago and there is no looking back , she has gotten so strong in just a month, she loves to go for a work out to this place no matter how tired she is and loves the coaches . A great safe and positive environment , thank you!!! Athletic Republic , Cary ,NC

Fantastic experience: I have been going regularly since they opened, and have seen major improvements in my overall fitness, and in my running performance. All of the staff are knowledgeable, professional, and able to work with athletes at any level. I love the small classes and friendly, low-key atmosphere. But don't think we don't work hard- this is an amazing place focused on performance and athletic fitness. It's a great community for any athlete!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great facilty, excellent trainers. Nick, my 13 yr old son LOVES going here! He loved it during his free time this summer, and wants to keep it up now that school has started. Even walking there straight from school. Now, that says ALOT!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality We have two children training at Athletic Republic and both have made huge improvements in a short period of time. The coaching staff is great! The variability in the programming keeps pushing them while keeping training from becoming too routine.

Fantastic experience: Athlete training facility sporting some futuristic equipment to help people not only progress but know by how much exactly.

Fantastic experience: I have been personal training with Devin for a few months and seeing excellent results! Devin tailors the workouts to my goals and it has been better than any training I have had in the past. I get an incredible workout and he helps with nutrition questions as well. The staff is professional and the facility is clean with updated equipment. My kids have recently taken the Ignition class with Cameron and they loved it. Will be sending them again! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This is a great facility with a caring staff and completely tuned in owner. My son(s) love the workouts and truly believe that they helped with their on ice (hockey) performance. The goals of this type of workout are different than most and absolutely fill a need and void in the athletic training market. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My son was determined to retain his starting spot in a travel organization. His position values side to side agility and strength. He needed strength and agility work. Since joining AR he has been showing huge improvement in both speed and agility. His ability to move laterally and handle the fastest on the other teams has helped him secure his starting spot. We can see his gains in strength and size, it’s slower for a kid who runs for hours a day! On top of that, my son loves working out with the trainers and understanding the numbers behind his gains. The staff is wonderful! The classes at AR are helping him establish a strong base to grow from and habits that will perpetuate health living.
