Our Equipment:
Plyo Press
The Plyo Press allows you to train for explosive power below or above body weight, depending on your goal, using an exclusive loading pattern that minimizes stress on your joints and back while maximizing explosive performance. Your body is positioned so that force goes through your body safely without putting undue stress on your back and joints. You can train safely at higher speeds and with more weight, a sure equation for building explosive power.
Pro Multi-Hip
The Pro Multi-Hip improves the strength of your abdominals and hips, important but often-overlooked muscles that are essential for improved competitive performance. It accommodates athletes from five feet to seven feet tall, and resistance can be set from less than 15 pounds for lateral movement patterns, to 375 pounds for dynamic power movements. This machine works a full range of motion in a natural curvilinear path. Most standard machines allow a very limited range of motion and don’t provide enough weight to allow you to train these key muscles effectively.
Pro Implosion Designed to specifications provided by All-Pro nose tackle Tim Krumrie, the Pro Implosion machine trains the upper body in natural, curvilinear paths of motion that better simulate the striking and press motions of sport. If you want to hit the next pitch out of the park, throw blockers out of your way or snag a puck from your opponent’s stick, this is your machine.
AccuPower and 3PQ Talk about The Force. Athletic Republic’s proprietary 3PQ and AccuPower technologies are next-generation training. Measuring explosive power, dynamic stability and symmetry, we analyze these readings against a central database that provides a percentile ranking of your effort against the average produced by our athletes. You can see how you match up against others who share your height, weight, age and gender. The result is a clear view of what you need to do to improve and, if injured, when you can safely return to competition.
Plyo Floor
The Plyo Floor is a cushioned floor that helps us train your stability and agility through speed of movement in multi-directional patterns, while saving your shins for something better than shin splints. Coupled with resistance cords, this floor is a potent development tool for dramatically improving power and quickness, expanding your movement base and developing dynamic stability.
