EQ Athletic Club powered by CrossFit Graphene

EQ Athletic Club surpassed my expectations! After a three-year hiatus, I returned to CrossFit and was warmly welcomed by the knowledgeable coaches. They patiently guided me through the basics, corrected my form, and provided excellent service. Each coach has contributed to improving my techniques, from squats to deadlifts, making a significant difference in my overall performance. The Atlanta community at EQ Athletic Club is incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home. I'm looking forward to continuing my training journey here, striving to improve my strength and endurance with the ongoing support of the coaches and community. Highly recommend the gym for anyone looking to get back into CrossFit or start fresh!

Really welcoming and accommodating. Great gym space with excellent facilities and well maintained equipment. Can’t wait to come back

I absolutely love this gym! Everyone is so welcoming and the owners and coaches are super knowledgeable. They encourage you to keep improving and provide modifications where needed. The gym is clean and spacious with nice equipment and great showers and washrooms for getting ready if you need to go straight to work.

EQ Athletic Club has combined incredible coaching, attention to detail, and broad-ranging fitness guidance with unique personalized tips to help me drastically improve my form, movement, pacing, and focus in the gym. The community is immediately welcoming, engaging, and inspiring. I enjoy the fact that there are gym members at every conceivable level of skill and fitness here, each having goals ranging from simply finishing workouts unbroken to athletes aspiring to reach the CrossFit quarterfinals. The inclusive atmosphere is balanced with a proportional but never excessive tone of motivational encouragement and an implicit challenge to transcend previous personal thresholds. Anthony Pietsch, the gym owner, is as thorough, comprehensive, and knowledgeable a coach as I’ve personally ever encountered in any sport or fitness-related domain. My aerobic capacity, mobility, and weightlifting numbers have improved considerably after only one month of training here. I could not recommend this gym enough as an environment to revolutionize your fitness journey.

I have been a part of the CrossFit community for about 3 years now and been with many different gyms and many different groups of people & staff. There is simply no other gym like Graphene & EQ Athletic Club that has such a welcoming and accepting community. You can be completely new to CrossFit or a seasoned veteran and it does not matter at all, you are welcomed by every single member at any time of day. It is very non cliquey and every class feels like a team even though the workouts are individual, it is really such a great group and a great gym.

This is second time to Atlanta for work and second time I do a drop in here. Best and most friendly coaches, friendly and welcoming members, super neat and clean place!

Their programming is pretty complete - I did a 6am class which is hard for mw being a night wod person but by the time we did the wod I was ready for it! Even got borrowed a belt for my heavy squats! Love it!

Definitely worth to drop in!

Best gym I've ever been to. Clean and carefully planned. You can take group classes or workout with a personal trainer and I go the personal trainer route. Anthony is the guy and his knowledge about fitness is endless and that's just the start of it. His positive attitude and mindful encouragement keeps me coming back 3 times a week. I have worked out with good trainers but Anthony has taken me to a level of fitness that I never thought I'd see. Wow pretty much sums it up!

Great CrossFit gym! I would especially recommend it if you are international and new to Atlanta, the community is fantastic and very welcoming. Coaches are very helpful and it’s a great spot to start your CrossFit journey 😊

Excellent gym filled with excellent people. There are plenty fun social activities to get to know the coaches and other gym-goers. Facilities are super clean and helpful if you need to workout and be somewhere after.

All of the coaches are super friendly and want to see you succeed. They have helpful advice/insights, but also push you to perform at your peak capabilities.

The workouts are great. They balance strength and metabolic conditioning perfectly, so you’re always challenged. They always have scalable options when necessary too. There are opportunities to test more complicated techniques/movements and the coaches are more than willing to assist.

Easily the best gym that I’ve ever been a part of, it’s helped my fitness journey tremendously.

Great workouts and even better community of coaches and members who are supportive, welcoming, and fun. Don't let the adjacent construction deter you. It is always clean and orderly inside.
Update! I've been a member since October 2022 and I have seen great progress in my strength and overall feeling of healthiness. I realized when I was working out in the gym on my own I was not pushing myself and I was limiting my workouts to what I was comfortable doing. At EQ I'm challenged and supported and it is rewarding and fun to be a part of this community.

Best Gym in Atlanta. Amazing facility, top equipment and great environment. Good service with friendly coaches. super clean and comfortable gym for everyone from beginners to professional athletes. The classes are top notch!

Beautiful facility and excellent coaches! I have a pre-existing wrist injury and the coaches are always offering modifications and checking in to see how I am feeling. I love the community at this gym and I always leave feeling challenged and have learned something new! Very welcoming to all levels, from experienced athletes, to never having set foot in a gym, I would highly recommend EQ Athletic Club to everyone no matter where you are in your fitness journey! Plus they have validated 2 hr parking in the deck next to the gym.

I’ve been coming to this gym for two years and never had a bad experience —

Great gym! Great coaches! Great facilities!

Prior to joining in January 2022, I had no background in CrossFit and very limited experience lifting. I had been a distance runner for years and was looking for something to do to stay in shape after repeated running injuries. It has now been 6 months, and I am so glad I signed up! Pietsch, Cam, Casey, and the rest of the EQ coaching team are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time in each class to show proper technique and modifications for anyone from first timers to CrossFit pros. The workouts are challenging and varied. The facilities are new and clean with fresh towels, showers, and validated parking available, making it convenient to stop by anytime throughout the day. I would recommend this gym to anyone!

I was nervous and skeptical to try out CrossFit initially but the coaches at EQ are amazing and take time to ensure you are doing everything correctly and safely so you don’t get injured. The members are welcoming and supportive. The gym is super clean and has some unexpected amenities like towels and bathroom/shower products if you forget yours. They also validate parking which is a plus. Best gym and routine I’ve ever been a part of.

I love that this gym creates a welcoming environment for people of all backgrounds and skill levels. As someone who is new to CrossFit, I was intimidated to start, but the coaches did an excellent job explaining all of the movements so you perform them safely while still challenging yourself. The gym is super clean and has individual showers with towels as well as toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash etc) in case you forget your own, plus parking validation!

From the facilities to the coaches to the community, EQAC is by far the best fitness experience I have ever had. I’ve always been active, but I’ve never looked forward to my time at the gym like I do now working out here. There are folks of all ages, fitness backgrounds, and abilities and everyone is made to feel part of the community - it’s very encouraging. On top of this, you’re bound to be constantly learning things about your health and wellness and form/movements from the coaches here, who are incredibly dedicated to their craft and the best in the business. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for the bar none best place to get and stay fit in midtown Atlanta.

Two years into learning CrossFit at EQ, I’m approaching the big 50 and far stronger than my 25 year old self. Supportive coaches and the greater EQ community bring the motivation and the fun to workouts. Tuesday night yoga with Samantha specializes in CrossFit recovery and is a must try.

I joined the gym about 6 months ago without any lifting experience and have learned so much from the friendly and helpful coaches. The members are a welcoming and fun group to workout with. In addition, the facilities are clean and the location is very convenient.

A very beginner friendly crossfit gym. Owner/head coach Anthony Pietsch is extremely knowledgeable. He makes sure everyone is doing things the right way to be injury free. Highly recommend checking it out!!
