Fox Sports West came out to Rancho Cucamonga to film a featured story on Athletic Republic Inland Empire. They covered the Athletic Republic scientifically proven training including our Super Treadmill, Plyo Press and how we use our equipment to make a better athlete. Fox also filmed our Nike SST training and Nike Vapor Strobes training to show how we are able to make a better athlete by making them better visually. Lastly, they filmed our ProBatter and how baseball players can use it to become a better hitter by giving yourself live at bats. This is the second time Athletic Republic IE has had a TV network come out, the first was KCAL 9 a few years ago and we are proud to say we are the only training center to have two TV Networks do a featured story on our facility and training. The story will begin to air Friday September 9th and will air through the week on Fox Sports West, Fox Sports Prime Ticket, and Channel 13 KCOP. It will be shown after sporting events and on Postgame shows.
