The Athletic Republic Training System is comprised of four proprietary components: i) Specialized Equipment, ii) Sport-Specific Training Protocols, iii) Owner Education / Trainer Development, and iv) Business Operations. The business model includes multiple revenue streams and utilizes all day-parts, which optimizes the profitability of the center. Our training center only requires a small footprint: 3,000 to 5,000 square feet.
By joining the Athletic Republic network, owners gain un-paralleled access to the world’s best sports training system. AR is the pioneer and market leader in sports performance training, having trained over 2MM athletes, including 2,500 professional and Olympic athletes (500+ NHL, 500+ NFL, 150+ MLB, 8 Heisman Trophy finalists, 1 Heisman Winner, MLS, WNBA and the NFL combine’s fastest man). In addition, $315MM in college scholarships have been awarded to AR athletes in the past 5 years.
