Before I started this internship at Athletic Republic, I thought of it as an advanced training sports industry. It appeals to athletes around the nation who would like to perform at an elite level at their sport. My friend AJ Johnson gave me some insight on it prior to starting so I considered it to be similar to a mix of Crossfit for Athletes, and the YMCA. It appeals to kids too who want to run around during the sports camps in the morning as well so it is not necessarily a complete athlete training facility. The people that come in tend to range in sports, but the most common are hockey and football players.
