Athletic Republic™ (www.AthleticRepublic.com) is an organization dedicated to making “athletes of all ages and abilities faster, more agile and more powerful.” Because the Riekes Center is a long-term member of the Athletic Republic, we have the opportunity to utilize proprietary training programs and patented equipment to fully unleash the potential of each of our athletes. Athletic Republic training equipment includes Super Running Treadmills capable of up to 28mph, Plyo Press Machines that improve leg strength and explosive power, and a Plyo Floor that improves agility, stability, and overall athleticism (see www.athleticrepublic.com/EquipmentTechnology for complete equipment details).

All Athletic Republic machines are matched with proprietary training programs that are proven to maximize athletic performance. These programs provide the foundation for our coaches’ highly developed, breakthrough training sessions. Each of our three Super Running Treadmills are augmented with a video camera, flat panel monitor, and a laptop computer equipped with Dartfish digital video analysis software (www.dartfish.com) to capture an athlete’s movement mechanics. A 15 second delay on video playback enables our coaches to give detailed feedback to athletes in “real-time” during the session. After a treadmill session is complete, it is archived to establish an athlete’s performance baseline, and for periodic and comparative analysis throughout the RISE-UP program. Finally, all of our athletes test their learned skills on our Olympic-quality Mondo track, to make sure their newly learned techniques are properly applied in non-equipment based scenarios.
