Jamie Lundmark,     Calgary Flames

"I had skated on an [Athletic Republic] treadmill in Edmonton before I started working out with BlueStreak. But BlueStreak's whole program is so much more complete. I'm definitely a stronger skater and have more leg power as a result of my training at BlueStreak. The biggest improvement for me is the first two to three strides on the ice. It's like having an extra gear I can kick into."

Alberto Salazar,     

"What the Acceleration program will do is make sure that a person has adequately laid the proper building blocks for becoming as fast and explosive and having as much endurance as possible. The programs help to make sure people are performing correctly in terms of physiological attributes, and so regardless of what sport you’re in, it’s good."

Don Lucia,     Head Coach, Univ. of Minnesota Hockey

"The Skating Treadmill is great for developing and maintaining a longer, more powerful and explosive skating stride for hockey players of all ages. We have installed the [Athletic Republic] Skating Treadmill in our training room at Mariucci Arena."

Shaun Alexander,     Seattle Seahawks

"The [Athletic Republic] program gave me a great edge. It moved everything forward: my athleticism, competition, and football skills. It was the answer I was looking for. My goal was to play in the NFL and the Acceleration program helped me reach it."

David Tanabe,     Phoenix Coyotes

"I have trained with Acceleration for several years now and it is a great way to work on your skating form while gaining strength and endurance."

Heather Mitts,     Professional Soccer Player

"The [Acceleration] Program can form a good athlete into a great athlete. It teaches you to use your abilities to the max. Someone who is already fast, can be a few steps faster."

Ryan Potulny,     Philadelphia Flyers

"I used the Acceleration program in High School and during my college career at the University of Minnesota. The skating treadmill kept me in skating shape during injuries and played a big part in getting me to the NHL."

Ogonna Nnamani,     Stanford Volleyball

"As an athlete, you need to continue to get better and condition your body to compete at the highest levels and the Acceleration Programs have helped me do that."

Filip Kuba,     Minnesota Wild

"I’ve used the [Athletic Republic] treadmill for a year. I like the concept of seeing yourself skate slow or at full speed and forcing yourself to correct mistakes. It is a great way to train."

Darin Erstad,     Anaheim Angels

"I would definitely recommend it! People are given natural abilities that you can use only so much; Athletic Republic really helps you develop those talents to a greater level. It's had great results for me, and I really believe that it helps your physical and mental state. It's amazing what it does! It made me a better athlete!"
