We love Athletic Republic! I love that we all get to work out together. The coaches make the class fun for my younger two, while pushing my oldest to his potential. Although our goal is just to keep active year round, we have seen improvements in all three kids’ endurance and agility in the sports they participate in. My kids don’t ever whine about having to go and we love all the coaches. My husband and I do the AR Fit daily workout while my kids are in their classes. We all get individual attention to ask questions and feedback to improve! It fits so well for our whole family. They work well with schedules and have even accommodated us when we forget to sign up or need to cancel. We highly recommend AR Fit!

Highly recommend! The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and bring great energy. My son did the Silver Package for a month and came away more confident and skilled in the gym- no more relying on questionable “advice” from his school buddies.
He was focused mostly on form for this first month but I do wish the app stored the testing benchmarks and updated testing data for future reference. The app was great for scheduling and it was super easy to switch classes as needed. There are a couple of 15-minute specialty sessions that use a full class credit. They were great classes but I wish they used .5 credits. 🙃
Overall, an awesome experience. My son can’t wait to sign up again after his fall sports season.

Jake and the athletic republic acl bridge program helped me go from an injured and unsure athlete to a confident and stronger player. Every session was purposeful, safe, and tailored to my needs. His knowledge, support, and motivation made all the difference. Highly recommend Jake if you’re serious about getting back to 110%!

We had a very frustrating experience with this facility. We confirmed with the coach the day before that our semiprivate basketball session would be held at 6:30 PM. When we showed up, no one was there. After reaching out, the coach told us he had just received an email saying the session was rescheduled for next week—without our knowledge or consent. We were never informed, and my son is out of town next week and cannot attend. It’s incredibly disappointing to see such a lack of communication and professionalism. We’ve now requested a refund for the missed session. We hope they take steps to improve their scheduling and customer service.

I had high hopes for AR. Unfortunately, they provided wrong information to me when I signed up and instead of fixing it, they expected me to just go with it. I asked the owner to call me 2x since there was a misunderstanding and he did not even try. Miscommunication happens, but the lack of consideration for their own mistake turned me off. I cancelled my membership right away.
** Update and additional info after owners reply to my review…. There’s no way he didn’t see my emails, since I replied directly to an email that he sent me. Which was the first and last time that I heard from him until now. Again, I would’ve hoped for the consideration of a conversation and acknowledgement of my request to discuss. Adam knew I was unhappy with the situation and did nothing to rectify it.

Great for any level. The personal trainer was excellent, he was using a combination of verbal, visual, and kinesthetic cues. I really enjoyed my workout.

We have been brining our son to the ignition class taught by Jake and have been super impressed. His gross motor skills, balance, and confidence are improving. Jake is very patient, but also will make our son give his all! Olivia at the front desk has always been very helpful and knowledgeable as well. 10/10 recommend!

The ACL bridge program was great that my daughter completed at AR Knoxville. The one on one training she received with the trainer Jake Blevins was top notch. Everyone at this facility was very welcoming and professional! Great experience for us.

I'm a collegiate track and field athlete, I love this gym more compared to the surrounding gyms nearby. They focused a lot on being explosive, producing power, technique and being fast in general. I would definitely recommend to anyone whose looking for a gym to get faster!

We had our son’s birthday party here. The booking process was so easy. They are reasonably priced and all of the staff was so friendly and accommodating. Ryan was the one who was there during our party. He helped us out with anything we asked. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Our middle schooler has really enjoyed his experience with the Acceleration classes, as well as strength and sensory sessions. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We've found two or three classes a week in the off-season to be perfect for us.

This place is just beyond words . The environment for parents to unwind and relax and be able to meet other parents is fun while your kids are with some of the best trainers that truly have an ability to motivate them to push harder and dig deeper really is just the environment every child should try just once ! This place is dedicated to make kids stronger and faster and in every sport . We can’t wait to go back in the summer . Reese you’re outstanding with the kids and truly encouraging I hope the entire team is there when we come back .

My son's quickness definitely improved in a little over 3 months. The acceleration program definitely works. He hit a jump cut in practice that he could not have done prior to his training.

I can't say enough good things about Athletic Republic. Not only has it helped keep my daughter in shape during the off-season, but she has also made some friends along the way. The trainers and staff know how to hype your kid up and get them excited for the next round.

Thank you, Athletic Republic, for training our team during the winter! It’s not easy to keep a group of 8-year olds focused, but every single trainer that worked with our team did an amazing job of pushing our girls to get stronger and faster! Kennede also gets her own 5-star review for being so easy to work with, personable, and flat out awesome! We will miss you and can’t wait to see you again!

I’m so so thankful for our teams time at Athletic Republic this past winter, for winter workouts for Knoxville Explosion 2014! All the staff went above and beyond!! Our first practice back on dirt last night, truly showed the dedication and time the staff put into our girls!!! The strength behind throws, the running they did, and the mental strength of each child was amazing!! The growth from beginning of winter workouts to yesterday was phenomenal! I will forever recommend Athletic Republic and we will forever go there for all of my Childrens needs!!! Thank you all for all you do and the time and effort you put into all the athletes!!!!

I have been working out here for almost a year in summer, and I can say that it has been the best experience. I love everything and everyone here. This is more of a family then a workplace, I have never felt more confident then I do here at Athletic Republic. I always walk in with a smile on my face and I laugh the whole time I am here. Personally, I feel as if I have gotten better as both a person and and an athlete. I absolutely love it here and I am sure you would too.

My name is Frederick and I am a 50-year-old male and out of shape, I worked with Reese and Mike as my trainers both of them inspired me at 50 years old to get in better shape and their approach was amazing, it's simple really it's a matter of getting up and moving and staying mobile, the environment they created is professional and beneficial to everyone's health, because of this teamwork I will be continuing to stay mobile with the things that I have learned from both these gentlemen, I highly recommend using this facility and this staff, my only regret is that I am moving out of state.

I took a circuit class with three other women and Reese was our trainer. It was challenging and fast-paced, and Reese modified two of the stations to accommodate my personal needs. The gym is clean and well organized. I highly recommend Athletic Republic in Knoxville.
