I was looking for a place to work out near the office when I stumbled across TheRack Athletic Performance Center and Kalil. It is not your average gym but rathera one-on-one or group training environment customized just for you. Theequipment is incredible, the atmosphere friendly, and the facility clean. I like thateveryone is there for a purpose and not social hour. Most importantly, I like thetailored work out plan and motivation Kalil provides each week to keep me pushingforward. If you are looking to get in shape or improve your strength, then Kalil atThe Rack is where you want to be.

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. Weve only been working together for two weeks now and I feel noticeably different, most importantly, in how I feel after I play basketball. I havent felt this good the morning after playing in a long time. I highly recommend checking out The Rack and asking to work with Kalil!

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!

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.

Best place to come if youre an athlete who wants to get better. Kalil got me faster and stronger just from 2 months of hard work. Every day I look forward to working with him and beating my previous PRs, jumping higher, and running faster. If you want to get better, this is the place to come.

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.

After lifting in chain fitness places for over 10 years, feeling like I wasnt 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: Id like to get my core strong. Not Duane Johnson strong, just strong. A year later? All that and more. Ive worked with a trainer 2x a week. Hes patient, pushes hard to my capabilities, and Im definitely better for it. Cant wait to see where I am this time next year.

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.

Cleanest personal training gym Ive 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? Its for everyone. There arent 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. Its 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!

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.

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 goalsThe 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 needsThe equipment is well cared for through a culture of respect for the facility.Supportive and wonderful spirit amongst the clientele.

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 Sherrods guidance.

This elite training-facility definitely has it:very best equipmentmost knowledgeable stafffriendly/welcoming atmosphere... other gyms lacking🤷‍♂️

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 didnt know before.

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!

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.

Ed and his qualified team at The Rack have contributed to my overall health and wellbeing. Ive 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 Ive ever witnessed which is very important during these times. Check them out!

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.

Well organized, highly skilled, intelligent trainers who are keyed into their clients unique needs. They dont overbook. They ensure that clients are paired with the best trainer to help them meet their goals. Its the cleanest facility that Ive 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 theres a congenial spirit amongst the clientele. Its fantastic and Im glad to have found them.

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.

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.

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. Im still giving three stars here to respect the positive reviews by other members here.

This is the best fitness class Ive ever been to

Great facility, great workouts, great vibes.

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!

Ive 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

Highly motivated and educated team of coaches. I feel we are in good hands and our health is being protected

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.

Most positive environment, with the best professional and knowledgeable trainers. The trainers are truly dedicated to what is best for me, guiding me at a pace that is very challenging without unnecessary injury. The Rack is my favorite place to train!

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

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!

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

I love my gym! The knowledge base is second to none. Great staff!

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.

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.

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!

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

The trainers are Amazing and work to understand your individual needs. The small groups are the best way to train.

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 wouldnt waste our time requesting appointments.

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

The Rack is an increadible place with increadible trainers. Everytime I go I feel like I’m with family, both clients and coaches.

Its like Cheers except a gym. Everyones​there to work but help you through the process. Had everything you need and a great vision.

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

Very friendly staff and awesome competition grade equipment

Friendly Gym. Great Staff

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

Best facility in the city.

Great facility, great people.

Great gym!

Now THIS is a gym!!!!!
