We were referred to Athletic Republic by my son’s team mate. There was a noticeable difference in his friends speed and agility on the soccer field. The classes are intense and I was unsure how my son would feel going so often but he loves it. The trainers really take the time to interact and invest in your kid. My son often mentions them making him laugh and joking around with him. When trainers/coaches connect with their athletes it really takes these kids capabilities to the next level. Soccer coaches should take note 😜 all that to say I highly recommend!
I hesitate to write this b/c I don't want it to become too crowded. :) We live in Sunset Hills and are willing to drive to Creve Coeur b/c this place is so awesome. My son started going there a little over 2 years ago and my daughters just started there. When they moved to Creve Coeur from Frontenac, we took a month long break to see if we could find something closer. There was absolute nothing that was even remotely close to being as good as Athletic Republic. They have the equipment needed to excel (no other place had high speed treadmills, let alone 4 of them), the absolute best trainers (not just some grumpy college kids looking to make a buck), and the price point is perfect (what other places are charging for unqualified trainers and worse equipment is laughable). The whole experience made me realize what a gem Athletic Republic really is. We simply love it!
My daughter has been attending trainings at Athletic Republic for almost 3 years now. To say its helped her is an understatement. She wanted to improve her speed and explosiveness and man, did she ever! They make these athletes better at their respective sports but also stronger physically and mentally and in turn their confidence will reach new heights! My daughter went from an average speed shooting guard to a fast, quick first step guard who can score at all 3 levels using the speed and agility shes built at AR. She will attend and play basketball at a D2 in 2026 and we definitely owe some thanks to AR!!!

Awesome place to train! The trainers are very knowledgable and friendly. There is a lot of available space and equipment for different types of training. This is the second time we've used their training and really expect to see the same great results! For anyone thats wanting to train for a sport, you cant do better!
Great space and awesome trainers. Highly recommend for parents and young athletes.

Thank you Dave!
Athletic Republic does an incredible job of focusing on the core skills that improves a player's game. Core skills like Speed, Agility, Functional Strength and Mobility are the key ingredients to long term success. For the last year, I have taken both my daughters. As a soccer coach, this is the type of training that can take a team to the next level.

Thank you Less!!
I am an atypical Athletic Republic athlete. 10 years of long distance running (marathons/half marathons) sapped all of the fast twitch muscle fibers from my legs and poor mechanics led to constant injury (of which I have spent thousands of dollars diagnosing and rehabbing), I joined Athletic Republic to end the chronic injury cycle and find my long lost speed.
I was hooked after my first treadmill session. A speed class is terrifying, humbling and thrilling all at the same time! Within 4 months I had improved my speed from 14 mph to 17.5 mph. After a year, I was running 200 meter repeats in splits I had not hit since college. Contrary to popular believe, their is a proper way to run/stride and thanks to AR, I dramatically improved my footstrike and gate. It was the healthiest I had been in the previous 10 years and I set a massive PR in the 5K of 15:37 (at the age of 33).
Additionally, the stick mobility classes have greatly improved my hip control and stability. We have identified weaknesses and imbalances and created routines to overcome those imbalances.
It is humbling to be an adult in these classes with middle school, high school and collegiate athletes. I check my ego at the door everyday and it is 100% worth the experience. I'm always impressed at the caliber of athletes in every class.
Had it not been for a freak accident where I broke my foot, I'm sure I'd still be making great process. As I rehab my foot, I know the team at AR will help me return stronger and faster than ever.
Best gym in St. Louis great for youth sports training very knowledgeable coaches and trainers

Thank you Jay!
Awesome facility!!!!!!!
Very effective training techniques. My only regret is I wish I started earlier. Evereone is so profesional and helpful in my kid's training, helping him with speed and strength. Looking forward to a long relationship with this facility. Thank you very much!
