The Athletic Republic Program (formerly the Frappier Acceleration Sports Training program) was started in Fargo, ND, by an exercise physiologist named John Frappier in 1990. Many years of research were involved in developing the program. It has spread to more than 160 sites nationwide and internationally. Athletes of varying ages and abilities have used the program to propel to the next level. To learn more about the program, visit www.athleticrepublic.com.
