Adam also brings to the table a substantial amount of experience in the franchise space, as he owned and operated a franchise that worked on behalf of small to medium-sized businesses by making shipping more convenient and affordable. Additionally, Adam currently owns a women's resale apparel franchise with two stores in Louisville, Kentucky, and a third in Knoxville. Adam is highly involved in the Knoxville sport community, serving as the head coach of his nine-year-old daughter's softball team, and enjoys playing ice hockey and golf in his free time. Adam's business impressive acumen and passion for athletics makes him the prime candidate to bring Athletic Republic to Knoxville.

Helping others attain what they are looking to achieve athletically is the ultimate reward for us here at Athletic Republic."

The brand's use of science-based protocols and specialized equipment have helped nearly two million athletes of all ages achieve their goals, by improving their speed, power, agility, strength, and stability. Athletic Republic conducts functionality testing through their Plyo Press Power Quotient (3PQ), video running analysis on their famous AR High-Speed Running Treadmill, and full-body assessments to identify each athlete's strengths and weaknesses to pinpoint where the emphasis of their training should focus on. Utilizing their revolutionary Athlete Information Management System, or AIMS, Athletic Republic can monitor and quantify improvements achieved by the athletes, and show how they compare against the average produced by athletes throughout the network.

"Adam and his family are the quintessential example of what we look for in our partners at Athletic Republic," said CEO Charlie Graves. "Adam not only has an impressive background in various aspects of sport business, but also a passion for athletics. He and his team are eager to provide unmatched customer service to their Knoxville community. We're extremely grateful to break into this new market with such an impressive franchise partner."

Founded by the late John Frappier in 1990, the innovative sports training concept was derived from practices used by the Soviet Union to expand the threshold of athletic performance. After being introduced to a multitude of physiological and training principles used by the Soviets in 1986 for the United States National Team during the Goodwill Games, John was inspired to bring these innovative ways to America. The Athletic Republic founder formed a team of sports medicine professionals and athletic trainers to implement these practices in the United States.

Athletic Republic Knoxville is open Monday through Saturday and available for private training and team training. For more information on Athletic Republic Knoxville, please visit www.knoxville.athleticrepublic.com or call 865-855-FAST.
