Sports Performance Training
Age-appropriate, sport-specific training for competitive athletes to help them gain not only strength, stability, and speed, but the confidence to succeed in competition.
Building A Better Athlete
Athletic Republic delivers on-field success through science-based performance training protocols, while tailoring their conditioning in the best possible manner for their sport. The training tools and programs are designed to take the athlete beyond ground-based training limitations, teaching the brain to send stronger, more precise signals to the muscles. This is the essence of what many experts call "neuromuscular training," and we have pioneered its development through three decades of research and commitment to sports science principles. Our performance improvements are documented and proven.
Training for Competitive Athletes
Acceleration Training
Our flagship program for youth, teen, college, and even pro athletes who are dedicated to performing at their best. We use a small-group, trainer-led format to develop speed, power, agility, and stamina. Key elements include: Super Running Treadmills for developing speed and running efficiency; plyometrics for improving movement skills, foot speed, agility, and stability; strength work for explosive speed, injury prevention, and power; and sport-specific skills designed to help athletes move better and more efficiently during competition. All athletes are tested at the beginning of a training program to assess symmetry and areas for improvement, and at the end to measure results.
Youth Acceleration
Developmentally appropriate training for younger athletes who are not quite ready for the full Acceleration program. We emphasize teaching the elements of athleticism, helping to develop fundamental movement skills, strength, balance, and proprioception (body awareness) while emphasizing joint health and safety. The result is confident young athletes who are set up for success as they grow.
Team Training
We invite groups from the same team or club to come in together and prepare for the upcoming season. There are many advantages to teammates training together, including: success derived from having a greater number of athletes on the team in peak condition; our ability to more efficiently deliver sport-specific protocols, at an attractive group discount; and the enjoyment of working out together as a team. We will work with coaches to develop a program that addresses each athlete's specific needs and complements the requirements of athletes' pre-season, in-season, and/or off-season training.
Many aspects of the Athletic Republic Acceleration Training programs are universal to all sports, designed to develop overall athleticism and resilience, but we also recognize that each sport and discipline has specific demands. We address those needs not only with our individualized "One Size Fits One" approach to training, but with extensive sport-specific protocols developed over nearly three decades of training athletes.
Baseball / Softball
Baseball and fastpitch softball are games of inches that require split-second reactions, instinctual skills and lightning fast agility. By focusing on speed, power, and agility we can give every baseball player the tools to be more successful on the field, regardless of their position. Our training improves rotational strength and stability to develop hitting with explosive power. Pitching velocity is increased by strengthening the acceleration and deceleration muscles used for every throw, while at the same time we focus on arm health for longevity. Our dynamic stability training develops the body control that is essential for making a defensive play.
Basketball
Every basketball game is made up of hundreds of short bursts of speed; our basketball training works on improving sprinting efficiency and speed using our high-speed running treadmill. Explosive power translates into the ability to drive to the basket, chase down a loose ball, or leap for a rebound or jump ball; we focus extensively on hip strength to generate the power that informs all aspects of a player’s game. Finally, our basketball training emphasizes dynamic stability so players can maintain body control in all directions and stability under all situations, even at full speed.
Football
We take football training far beyond the standard weight room. Our football training for prepubescent athletes focuses on developing coordination, agility and speed since muscle mass develops later in a young athlete’s life. As athletes mature and the level of competition increases, training focuses more on the development of power/strength and running efficiency. Professional players spend the largest portion of time on power/strength development, but still spend time working on movement skills and running efficiency.
Hockey
Skating is the foundation of playing hockey. It takes proper skating mechanics, explosive speed, quickness and balance to consistently outmaneuver your opponents and become a top player. This is why hundreds of past and present professional hockey players have trained at Athletic Republic. Using a combination of cutting-edge technology like our Hockey Treadmill, or utilizing hockey powercords to facilitate optimal nerve and muscular stimulus, our hockey athletes come away with significant improvements in skating efficiency, coupled with improved puck-handling and shooting movements.
Lacrosse
As the preferred training partner to the US National Lacrosse teams, we understand what it takes to become the best athlete and lacrosse player: the right mix of lacrosse specific skills, enhanced speed, agility, quickness and power. It is essential that a lacrosse-specific training program balances the rigours of lacrosse's heavy endurance load, while establishing an elite speed-program rooted in acceleration training. Our program focuses on advanced level conditioning, strength training, as well as speed and agility work that translates to both sides of the field in lacrosse.
Soccer
We’ve developed a unique program to specifically train soccer players to improve their acceleration, agility and power so they can become not just better athletes, but better soccer athletes. Through our evidence-based training protocols and patented equipment, we can improve an athlete’s mechanics so they have a faster first step, can change direction quicker, and have the stamina to play as well in the opening minutes as the closing minutes. In addition, they develop the dynamic stability that is crucial to becoming more resistant to lower-extremity injuries.
Swimming
Our pre-season and early season dry-land training program supplements the high repetition, low-resistance work that swimmers complete in the pool. We build power to enable swimmers to accelerate faster, and to get off the wall and the block quickly. We help develop stamina to help swimmers retain stroke mechanics under fatigue and increase the number of underwater kicks at each turn. And, of course, essential strength training will build core, back, and shoulder strength to make the most of every stroke.
Tennis
The quick change of direction required in a top level tennis athlete is almost unparalleled in other sports. Athletic Republic speed and agility work performed on our patented Super Treadmill and Plyofloor elevates muscle coordination, footspeed, and movement precision to facilitate that next-level change of direction. On average, a 20% gain in peak force and power provides another level to a tennis athlete's game. And the unique Plyo Press Machine allows tennis athletes to take explosive power training to a higher level.
Track and Field
Track athletes who train on the Athletic Republic Super Running Treadmill enjoy the benefit of knowing their exact speed, seeing their form in the mirror, and then watching live Dartfish Technology replay diagnoses from a different angle, which enables highly effective coaching on running mechanics. Athletic Republic provides the optimal mix of proprietary sport specific training protocols and patented equipment to maximize both your speed and power, making you a better track and field athlete.
Volleyball
Our training protocols for volleyball players to improve their acceleration, power and on-court agility for success on the court. We can improve an athlete’s mechanics so they rise higher with more hang time giving them more explosive power behind every hit. We also provide exact neurological learning and coordination that improves functional volleyball strength and the ability to set, pass, serve, spike and block, as well as improve take-off and landing mechanics.

“Athletic Republic has given my kids the edge they need to develop into stronger, faster athletes. I have three high school athletes that have benefited from the small group and one-on-one training at AR. The kids love going and getting better. I have recommended and will continue to recommend AR to families who are interested in giving their kids a competitive edge and helping with injury prevention.”

“Athletic Republic is a great partner to make your player a better athlete. With hard work, you will improve (measurably) in the areas of speed, agility and stability. Fourteen football players from our team have chosen to train with the AR staff twice each week. Their scientific approach and attention to detail around form/technique is a differentiator. The training staff is first class and the team is knowledgeable, skilled and dedicated to seeing your kids advance as athletes. I would recommend AR for one-on-one training and/or team training.”

“It’s been a great experience to have been going here for a really long time. Every hour I’ve spent on the treadmill, gym, or turf has translated to the playing field for whatever sport I might be participating in at that time. The trainers push me to be my best each and every time I step in the AR facility, and because of that I have become a much better athlete.”
-Danny D., Acceleration Athlete
