Athletic Republic Cary, NC

"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!"

-John Hankinson

"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."

-Katie Dean, Parent

"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."

-Katie Medley, Parent

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

-Jess Arbon, Parent & Participant

"Our daughter and teammate have been going for several weeks now and love it. They have improved their running and agility in such a short time. Can’t wait to see the improvements over this next year!"

-Rachel Ennis, Parent

"My son Ben (10) has been attending a few times a week for about two months now. He 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. He asked me to buy a foam roller like they use at AR, and he showed me all the ways he's learned to use it in Recovery. He recently tried standup paddle boarding for the first time and popped right up and stayed up - I think it's in part because he's built core strength."

-Robin Marcus, Parent

"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!"

-Justin Worlock

"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."

-Michelle Hannon, Parent & Participant

"Athletic Republic, Cary is the best workout place I have ever been to and proud member! I want to write this review cause it’s such a gem and to help to spread the word that our town needs to know! Plus, I love that I'm supporting a local, small business that cares about its members.

This gym is well maintained, and the staff is super friendly, every staff member there knows me by name and knows exactly where I'm at in my training. In just over a month, this has become more than just a gym for me. It's a community where I feel like I belong, and I look forward to seeing everyone.

Please give this gym a try, you won't regret it."

-Suresh Argi, Parent & Participant

"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!"

-Rachel Rice

"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."

-Devi Argi

"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!"

-Nate Rice

"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!"

-Christy Brantley

"It's not enough anymore to say that you work hard, because everyone works hard. You need to work smart. The work I did with Athletic Republic during the off-season is a combination of those two. It's a great example of how today's athletes should train."

-Jim Thome, MLB

"As a professional strength and conditioning coach I am always looking for a better way to train athletes. I believe Athletic Republic's techniques will definitely improve an athlete's speed, quickness, and jumping abilities along with strength, cardiovascular development, and efficiency of movement."

-Dennis Householder, NBA Strength and Conditioning Head Coach

"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! After we did the initial free trial/assessment class, we all were immediately sold and decided to sign up for the Family Membership.  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!"

Jeff Bowen, Parent & Participant

"Always exceeding my expectations with highly supportive trainers, daily unique workouts and advanced equipment.  I would strongly recommend trying Athletic Republic if you are in West Cary and interested in improving your fitness."

Ravi Poli, Parent & Participant

"“I have been training with Nicki for over a month and I cannot recommend her as a personal trainer enough! She personalizes exercises that suit you, ensuring you maintain the right form and at the same time pushes you to do better everyday. She is knowledgeable, patient and explains every movement thoroughly. Our sessions have been a perfect mix of mobility, strength and cardio with different variations. It's both challenging and fun!”"
