Transforming Potential into Performance in Norwood
Our underlying mission is to tip the scales of sport in your favor. Whether it’s adding four inches of height on your vertical jump or subtracting 0.4 seconds from your 40-yard dash, if there is an advantage to be had, we’re the ones to find it. Using state-of-the-art performance testing tools with synchronized video to document progress, we’ve tested, studied, and perfected our training programs so you can improve your play and gain the confidence to win. Every individualized program is based on fundamental test data that identifies your strengths and targets your weaknesses. Our proven methods safely push you past your limits – increasing the competitive skills required to be a champion.
AR Norwood Training Programs
Acceleration Training
Our flagship program for competitive athletes designed to build speed, power, agility, and resistance to injury. Science-based, sport-specific protocols are delivered in a small-group setting for maximum impact; testing before and after a training block validates results.
AR-FIT
Full-body circuit training with elements of HIIT for adults looking to move better, get stronger, and stay healthy. All are welcome, regardless of fitness levels or ability; the small-group, trainer-led format allows us to customize workout to accommodate anyone within each class.
Return 2 Play
A serious knee injury can be devastating for athletes of any age. Missing a season is tough, but even worse is returning to play unprepared. Athletes who complete a post-surgery physical therapy program may not yet be ready for a return to full-speed play; our ACL Bridge program ‘bridges’ that gap. This individualized program includes regular evaluations to measure progress as athletes work to improve strength, flexibility, mobility, stability, and power so they can return to competition “better than new.”
Endurance Training
The Endurance program is designed to help runners, cyclists, and triathletes achieve their personal best and stay healthy as training volume and intensity increase. To become faster and stronger, endurance athletes need more than the standard low-resistance, high-repetition workouts, boot camps, or any other high-intensity one-size-fits-all approach. The training emphasizes proper biomechanics, strength, and stability, all of which are critical determinants of performance and contribute to reducing the risk of injury.
Visual Training
Training with the Senaptec strobe glasses enhances visual skills such as focus, object tracking, anticipation timing, reaction time, visualization, balance/stability, and peripheral vision. The strobes in the glasses reduce the amount of visual information available to the athlete, forcing them to become more effective in processing this data. This effectively slows the game down around the athlete, helping them make quicker decisions, execute rapid responses, and complete more efficient movements which contribute to better game-day performance.
Cord Training
Athletic Republic Conditioning Cords provide controlled resistance while allowing athletes to perform at game speed, greatly improving sport-specific power for hitting, throwing, running, shooting, spiking serving and/or jumping. Our patented SprintCords, KickingCords, ThrowingCords, PowerCords, Hitting Harness and Warm-up Cords provide resistance without changing or affecting proper mechanics to increase power. In addition, it helps athletes isolate aspects of their movement to develop greater proprioception and understanding of good technique.
Strength Training
Our weight training program is designed specifically for each athlete’s sport, training age, gender, and imbalances, with the aim of building a more injury-resistant athlete. As a result, we spend a lot of time developing decelerating musculature and healthy joints such as hips, knees and shoulders. Additional considerations include energy systems, movement patterns, primary as well as secondary movers, hypertrophy, strength, power, and endurance. We use everything from free weights and kettlebells to bands and boxes. Our athletes are under the watchful eye of an instructor to ensure they are being taught the right way to push themselves.
Private Training
We understand each individual is different in terms of goals, needs, and athletic ability. Athletic Republic's private training sessions cater to athletes and adults searching for the ultimate, customized program and one-on-one attention in areas of speed and power development, sports specific training, general fitness, and nutrition. Succeeding in the goals you have set for yourself requires dedication, continual feedback, and our training expertise. Combining Athletic Republic's specialized training equipment, science proven training protocols, and years of experience our staff will transform athleticism and overall well being.
