FAQ

What is Athletic Republic?

Athletic Republic is a science-based sports training system that has delivered real, quantifiable results, results achieved by an athlete’s commitment to gaining a competitive advantage through the use of our intensive one-on-one training, sports-specific fitness programs, and our advanced, patented equipment. We provide athletes the dynamic integration of speed, power and agility. By focusing on intelligent, science-based methods, we are able to propel our athletes from the bench to the field, from freshman to varsity squads, from high school to college and from college to the pros.

What is an Athletic Republic facility like?

Your training center should be a reflection of who you are as a trainer, coach, investor, entrepreneur or sports enthusiast.  We have four models, one of which could be the perfect environment for you:

• free-standing Athletic Republic facilities – these stand-alone storefronts conveniently put Athletic Republic in your customers' path;
• sports medicine facilities – extending your customers' commitment to active health, these facilities employ Athletic Republic’s training protocols within the aegis of a respected health and human performance environment and help differentiate you from your business competitors;
• sports multiplex facilities – for businesses already in operation, adding Athletic Republic’s proprietary equipment and scientifically grounded training protocols is an easy upgrade to a better bottom line;
• sport-specific facilities (ice rinks, basketball, soccer and volleyball centers, baseball academies, etc.) – if you already provide a training venue, integrating Athletic Republic’s proprietary equipment and scientifically grounded training protocols makes your facility full-service.

What kind of background do I need to be an Athletic Republic franchisee?

All you need is a passion for sports! Our existing franchise network is made up of people from diverse backgrounds including teachers, executives, business investors, former coaches, players and personal trainers.  Many have degrees in sports management, sports physiology and exercise science.

What kind of franchise is available?

Our most common franchise model is an independent training facility. We also have franchise formats for existing sports medicine facilities, sports complexes and ice hockey rinks. An Area Development Agreement (ADA) is another alternative offered to the franchisee. The ADA provides for the placement of multiple facilities in a single metro market to improve operating and marketing efficiency and customer reach.

How long will it take to learn the Athletic Republic training system?

Comprehensive training and certification for your staff members who will be managing and delivering the programs in your area are covered within the agreement.  Levels I and II are done online in preparation for the week-long Level III course that is conducted at Athletic Republic’s corporate.  The online training and certification can be completed by as many of your staff and/or interns as you wish but Level III is for key staff members like owners, managers, etc., key people who will be with your center for the foreseeable future.  Although there is no fee for the Level III course, lodging and transportation expenses for the week are not included.

Where can I locate my Athletic Republic training facility?

Many markets are still available. You can designate the market you wish to locate, so long as the market meets Athletic Republic’s facility site criteria, and it does not infringe on another Athletic Republic location.

Will my market be protected?

Yes. Each franchise owner is allotted an area in which no other franchise can be awarded.
