The Athletic Republic Advantage

Tad O’Had, VP of Hockey

As the economy tightens and parents balance their budgets, your training staff will continually be faced with questions about what differentiates Athletic Republic from the less expensive competitors in town who are undercutting your prices. It is important to be able to showcase and properly explain what separates Athletic Republic from your competition and to demonstrate that Athletic Republic starts where the competition ends.

Capitalizing On Our Athletic Republic Advantage

Athletic Republic is the industry leader in performance sports training, with programs appropriate for athletes of all ages. Athletic Republic’s knowledge in performance sports development has been enriched by our 20-year history and our 600,000 athletes trained. At Athletic Republic we have the athlete down to a science. Here are ten ways we separate ourselves from the pack.

Product Technology (equipment)

Our patented and proprietary equipment allows our trainers to take athletes safely past their limits in a controlled and safe environment, where athletes improve their performance more quickly than conventional methods. Our advanced assessment technology helps athletes understand where they are and what they need to focus on in their training program. Regular assessment track progress as they work to achieve their goals. Our equipment provides the very best opportunity to increase athletic potential. Here is a list of our key performance training tools: Generation III Super Treadmill, Hockey Treadmill, Plyo Press, Pro Multi-Hip, Plyometric Floor, 3PQ, AccuPower, Sport Cord technology, SoloSpike “smart ball”, Republic Box and The SmartSpeed Timing and Reaction System.

Scientifically-researched and Scientifically-based Protocols that deliver Results

We hold six patents and have developed over 3,000 proprietary training protocols that cater specifically to each sport and every athlete. Athletic Republic training programs have documented average performance improvements of 0.2 seconds in 40 yards which equates to 6’ of separation; 4” of vertical jump height; 5 mph in throwing velocity; and significant improvements in both running and skating efficiency.

Qualified Trainers and Continued Education

Our Athletic Republic staff undergoes Level I, Level II and Level III Certifications in areas such as: biomechanics, exercise physiology, nutrition and exercise science as well as certification on our equipment, protocols and training. In addition, many of our trainers have professional certifications such as CSCS, ACSM, NASM and/or have graduate degrees in exercise science, biomechanics and athletic training. Athletic Republic prides itself on having the most qualified staff in the performance sports industry.

Program Structure

We make sure to structure all programs to give our athletes every opportunity to realize their athletic potential. Developing and sustaining speed, power and agility takes time. The best athletes move better than their peers. Our programs continually focus on improving movement skills as a foundation to build power, speed, agility, and fitness. By structuring our off-season programs 6-10 weeks in duration, we provide ample time to make lasting improvements in an athlete’s movement skills, power, strength and efficiency.

Sport Specific Applications

Unlike most performance sports centers that veer away from sport-specific training, Athletic Republic understands the physiological and movement skill demands of your sport and embraces the opportunity to help you advance in your sport of choice. Whether it be soccer with our patented Kicking Cord, football with our Sprint Cords, or baseball with our Throwing Cords, AR facilities increase more than just speed and quickness. Many of our facilities house shooting and hitting stations for baseball, hockey and golf as well as turf space for teaching soccer and ball control. Our patented conditioning cords supply effective loading without changing movement patterns. Muscles learn to produce more force at game-speeds to handle the work load. When the cords come off, the athletes produce more power than ever before without affecting sport-specific mechanics.

Performance Sports Training Designed by MD’s, ATC and Sports Physiologists 

The Athletic Republic program is the only one of its kind, exclusively designed by a number of sports medicine professionals and sport scientists. Many of our competitors’ programs are designed by sprint coaches, ex-athletes and trainers, who have their own methodology developed through trial and error. At Athletic Republic, we believe there is more to training than trial and error. Science-based training employs the very best in sport science and medicine to create the safest, most advanced training programs and equipment for today’s athletes.

Athlete to Trainer Ratio

You’d be hard pressed to find any other performance sports training center that provides individualized training in a semi-private execution like we do at AR. We believe in developing athletes, and doing so is best done in small groups. This allows the trainer to get to know the athlete and be able to identify their strengths and weaknesses.

Over 600,000 Athletes Trained – including 2,500 Professional

Athletic Republic lets the numbers speak for themselves. A lot of performance sports franchises claim they are the largest sports performance providers, but no other trained more than the 80,000 athletes we did last year. However, no one can match our 20-year history, program intelligence and the fact we have 161 facilities worldwide and growing. Why else would 600,000 athletes have walked through our doors to gain the Athletic Republic advantage?

Individualized Training Programs Based on Athletic Assessment

At Athletic Republic we like to measure results; that’s why our model works. By providing our athletes with network wide standardized testing, peer group comparisons, individualized and sport-specific training programs, advanced performance feedback and assistance from our certified hands-on trainers, our complete training environment is structured to develop the complete athlete.
