Play is the New York Times Sports Magazine, and it’s published three or four times per year. In the March Issue, inserted into yesterday’s Sunday NY Times, the “Master Class” column featured Chelsea Piers BlueStreak and Athletic Republic in a story titled Be Nimble, Be Quick…

The backstory is that the author, Josh Dean, is a 30-something soccer player who realizes he has lost a step on the pitch. He turns to the trainers at Chelsea Piers BlueStreak for help and discovers first-hand the genius behind Athletic Republic’s Acceleration Training protocols and equipment.

Dean trained at BlueStreak for three months,

working out alongside college athletes, out-of-shape financial types, decently fit office drones like myself and a seemingly endless stream of high scholl kids with generous parents…

I was noticing results on the soccer field. I was making better touches during my evening games, feeling a step quicker and even reaching some balls I wouldn’t have bothered to chase before starting BlueStreak.

In other words: Dean learned how performance sports training at an Athletic Republic facility works–through science-based training protocols that deliver real, measurable results. In doing so, an adult recreational athlete learned the value of a program that is typically thought of as being tailored to kids and aspiring collegiate and professional athletes.

Bottom line: Athletic Republic’s Acceleration Training programs are designed for athletes of all ages and abilities.
