YOUR
LIMITS.
Athens' premier strength training facility. Expert coaching, elite equipment, and a community built entirely around results.
10 YEARS.
ONE MISSION.
Strength Without Compromise
Our Philosophy
Built for those who
take it seriously.
APEX Athletics was founded in 2016 with one purpose: to build Athens' most serious training environment. Not a wellness club. Not a chain. A dedicated facility where every piece of equipment, every coach, and every programme is chosen for one reason — results.
We've trained national champions, coached first-timers into their best shape, and built a community that shows up every day. Kolonaki's best-kept secret is getting harder to keep.
"Strength is not a physical skill. It is a will. It is a mentality. And we build both."

The Team
Meet your
coaches.
Nikos Alexandrou
Head Coach · Founder
"Strength is a decision you make every day. I'm here to make sure you follow through."
Elena Karamanli
Olympic Lifting · PT Specialist
"Technique isn't just safety — it's the difference between good and elite. We teach both."
Dimitris Makris
HIIT & Conditioning
"I've never met someone who regretted a hard workout. Only ones who skipped it."
Sofia Papadaki
Recovery & Mobility
"The body you're building is only as good as its ability to recover. Don't skip this part."
Member Results
Real people.
Real results.
"I joined APEX after years at generic chains. The difference is night and day. Nikos put me on a powerlifting programme and within 6 months I hit a 200kg deadlift. The coaching here is on a completely different level."
Member since 2022 · Powerlifting Track
"The 8-week APEX Transform was the best investment I've made in myself. Lost 9kg, built visible muscle, and completely changed how I eat. Elena was with me every step — checking in, adjusting, pushing when I needed it."
Completed APEX Transform · Nov 2025
"I was intimidated at first — it's a serious gym. But the coaches made me feel completely welcome from day one. I train 4 times a week now and I've never felt stronger. The HIIT classes are brutal in the best way."
Member since 2024 · HIIT & PT
"As a competitive footballer, APEX is the only gym I trust for my conditioning. Dimitris built me a programme around my season and my numbers improved across everything — speed, power, endurance. Worth every euro."
