Facility Equipment

    Located at the Academy is our own fully equipped Athletic Republic training facility featuring an indoor turf ‘field’, a 22.5' x 44' synthetic ice surface, a complete complement of treadmills (both running and skating) and hockey specific training equipment, FreeMotion strength equipment and Life Fitness bikes.

Skating Treadmill

    Hockey players from youth to professional levels improve their mechanics on the Athletic Republic-patented Skating Treadmill. The athletes wear their own ice skates to skate on a synthetic ice treadmill that can incline up to 32% and reach a maximum speed of 17mph. Much like the running treadmill, it works to improve skating speed, biomechanics and strength throughout the six-week training program.

     The skating treadmill tilts from zero to plus 32 percent elevation and runs at speeds over 16 miles per hour. The skating treadmill incorporates the patented SprintCords to optimally recruit skating-specific musculature. Athletic Republic technology improves a skater's abilities, by analyzing a skater's mechanics and correcting skating flaws. In addition, the Skating Treadmill gives skaters the ability to train in a performance-controlled environment with their own skating equipment, including skates!

 Pro Multi-Hip

    The Pro Multi-Hip is a lower extremity exercise device for hip flexion or extension exercises and abduction and adduction exercises. It has the capacity to function as a very high-intensity, high-loading exercise machine for healthy athletes and as a very low-intensity, low-loading station for rehabilitation of both the hip girdle and lower extremity.

Core muscle groups include:

   - Upper/lower abdomen

   - Lower back

  - Front and back of the hips

   - Inside and outside of the upper legs

If your core muscle groups are not strong, you are not as fast, quick, or mobile as you can be. Hip extensors initiate maximal force production into the ground and hip flexor strength has been reported in scientific literature to be the number one limiting factor to sprint speed development. In addition, as the abductors and adductors provide stability about the hip girdle and are key to change of direction movements, the Pro Multi-Hip provides a dynamic avenue to optimize this development.

Plyo Platform

     Our multi-layered Plyo Platform brings safety and state-of-the-art technique to plyometric jump exercises. With SprintCord technology built into its frame, the Plyo Platform is the only plyometric device that recruits the hip flexors, extensors, abductors and adductors during actual athletic movements. Flexors and extensors are strengthened for forward and reverse speed.

   The Plyo Platform is ideal for sport-specific training. Repositioning the SprintCords and altering the patterns of movement within our four-vector formation can create 52 different load combinations to the lower extremity, making it possible to create precise regimens designed for specific results. With the Plyo Platform, athletes develop keen body awareness, strength, agility and fast response rates. Contact-sport athletes can quickly outmaneuver competitors. Others can respond instantly to ball location, changing field conditions and competitor positions.

Cord Technology

     Our Cord Programs implement the use of various resistance cords for sport-specific training. The use of our cord technology enhances your workouts by providing resistance to upper and lower body extremities, building more powerful motions for sprinting, skating, jumping, throwing, swinging or other sport-specific motions.
