Athletic Revolution Redwood Falls, MN Becomes Newest Youth Training Center

Redwood Falls, MN- 2/28/12-Athletic Revolution, the world’s only training center dedicated entirely to the fitness and sport performance of young clients aged 6 – 18, has quickly become one of the fastest growing entities in the entire Fitness and Sport Training industry.

Athletic Revolution is a training system that is based on increasing speed, strength, flexibility and power, but maintains a great focus on keeping young athletes safe and injury free as well.

“Athletic Revolution is the right system for me. They provide the structure, support, and systems to run my business more effectively and efficiently. Fitness Revolution allows me to work on my business and more importantly provide a superior service for my clients, said Trevor Wittwer, owner of the new Redwood Falls, MN location.

The training system has been developed by some of the most well-known and successful Coaches in the world and was field-tested on more than 15,000 kids and teens around the globe
“Any young athlete or youth fitness participant looking to improve in a sport, lose weight or gain a healthier lifestyle will benefit.”

The American Obesity Association has recently reported that more than 30% of U.S.-based children and teens are currently considered either overweight or obese.

“Athletic Revolution is double-threat,” explained President, Pat Rigsby.

“The youth of today need a specific and carefully designed system within which they can improve and reach their goals. But from the Coach or Fitness Professional perspective, Athletic Revolution is perhaps the most potential oriented investment they could possibly make as a business”

“There is just no doubt that the ‘youth’ market is where career safety, security, and profitability is.”

Leading Youth Fitness Franchise “Athletic Revolution” Responds

November 18, 2011 – Congress recently unveiled a new bill which includes language that will allow a serving of pizza to be considered a vegetable if spread with two tablespoons of tomato paste.

The bill would deny funding to the new school meal nutrition standards that were proposed earlier this year by the USDA. Those standards include increasing the availability of fruits and vegetables on the school lunch menu while limiting the availability of high sodium items and starchy vegetables such as potatoes.

According to a statement from Margo Wootan, the Nutrition Policy Director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, “This legislation may go down in nutritional history as a bigger blunder than when the Reagan Administration tried (but failed) to credit ketchup as a vegetable in the school lunch program. Pizza should be served with a vegetable, not count as one.”

The bill comes in response to heavy lobbying campaigns from large food corporations that wanted to fight the proposed USDA standards.

“Although many people are outraged by the bill, this does not surprise me,” said Timothy Ward, Vice President of Operations for Athletic Revolution International, the fastest growing youth fitness franchise organization in the country.

“What we have to realize is that businesses are always going to try and protect their own revenue streams. It is up to us as responsible adults to empower our kids to make healthy food choices. We have the power to change lives regardless of what the government decides to do.”

Athletic Revolution empowers its franchisees to take an active leadership role in their communities. As such, franchisees have the ability to educate young athletes and their parents on all sorts of topics pertaining to youth wellness. This includes fitness and nutrition information.

“While we hope that our elected officials keep our kids’ best interests in mind, we have little practical influence over the federal government. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a BIG impact in our local communities,” said Ward.

And it’s true. What kind of vegetables did you serve your kids at dinner last night? When was the last time you enjoyed participating in free play with your kids at the local park? If you aren’t ashamed to answer those questions, your kids are probably happy and healthy.

As part of the committee, Gleason will work with the Athletic Director for the local high school, several school nurses and PE teachers, the purchaser of school lunches, and school principals. Their primary role is to review and make recommendations on nutrition, nutrition education, physical activity, and many other aspects of youth wellness.

George Maoury of Athletic Revolution Matthews Serves Community’s Youth Fitness Needs

October 18, 2011- Matthews, North Carolina- Dedicated youth fitness specialist George Maoury is making a difference in Matthews, North Carolina, by serving the community’s youth fitness needs. Now he is being noticed for his efforts; he was just hosted by Angela Golden on The Charlotte Buzz on TV

George, who is certified through the International Youth Conditioning Association, is the owner of Athletic Revolution, a long term youth fitness and athletic development center, the first of its kind in the Carolinas. According to Maoury, Charlotte, NC,  ranks as the ninth highest in childhood obesity rates. “This is a problem that Athletic Revolution and I feel strongly about.”

In the segment, a class full of elementary school students are shown learning about how to move their bodies properly all while having fun. The kids have been instructed to play a game, “The Pirate Game,” where they are taken through stations meant to train them on core stability, balance, body awareness, and strength.

However, the activities they are taught to perform are designed to mimic activities the kids might imagine a pirate doing such as climbing a rope, swimming, or swabbing the deck. ”The best part of it all… they were having fun,” said Maoury.

“Most children will quit playing sports by the time they’re 13,” he added. “The number reason is they’re not having fun anymore. If we can keep training and fitness fun, I think we can combat that high rate of obesity, and we can also develop better young athletes.”

Steve Long and Tyler English Earning Respect in the Industry

September 30, 2011- Athletic Revolution is a place where the needs of young athletes are put ahead of everything else. However, it is hard not to take notice when two franchisees have been nominated as the two of the fitness industry’s rising stars.

The Fitness Industry Top Rising Stars event was run this month by fitness business entrepreneur Erik Rokeach and corporate bootcamp expert Greg Justice. It was hosted by fitnessbusinessinterviews.com. English finished 5th overall. The results can be found here.

Steve Long, owner of Complete Fitness Results in Brentwood, Missouri, recently expanded his business by purchasing an Athletic Revolution youth fitness franchise.

When asked about his nomination, Long downplayed it, saying, “I was nominated to as one of the Top 25 Industry Rising Stars. Not huge, but not bad.”

“I think Steve is more concerned with growing his business and getting his clients results than being recognized for any personal accolades,” said Tim Ward, Vice President of Operations for Athletic Revolution International.

English, who has been an Athletic Revolution franchisee for just over a year now, was quick to thank all the people who have helped him get to where he is today including his business mentors Pat Rigsby and Nick Berry; his mother, father, sister, and brother; his clients and staff; and his business mastermind group.

He finished with this note, “The fitness industry needs all of us to work together and be real to who we are, by continuing to help those who need our help!”

With Long and English on board with Athletic Revolution, the world of youth fitness is in good hands.

New Jersey Based Franchisee Phil Hueston Proud of Athletes’ Commitment

September 30, 2011- Toms River, NJ- Many students dream of being able to continue playing sports beyond high school. In New Jersey, Athletic Revolution Franchisee Phil Hueston does everything in his power to make that happen.

This September, Hueston sent more than a dozen of his athletes to play sports at the collegiate level, including 2 on full Division 1 scholarships.

Additionally, former athlete Anders Forese, who is on a golf scholarship at Centenary College of Louisiana, got his first Division 1 start this past weekend.

“We are happy to have Phil as a part of the Athletic Revolution team,” said Timothy Ward, VP of Operations for Athletic Revolution International. “He brings passion and energy, and he instills in his athletes a work ethic that is rare in society.”

Take Meredith Kalinowski, for example. She will be playing Lacrosse at Stanford University on scholarship. Stanford Women’s Lacrosse Head Coach Amy Bokker had this to say about Meredith when she signed her letter of intent:

“Meredith is a versatile midfielder and has a drive and work ethic that is second to none. She is very consistent and does the dirty work on the field. Meredith also has no trouble finding the back of the net.”

The fact that Hueston is able to prepare so many athletes for college sports is a testament to his dedication to youth athletic development.

New Fitness Center in Northeast Indianapolis Focuses on  Youth Fitness

August 2, 2011- Indianapolis- Athletic Revolution franchisees continue making news headlines throughout the country. The latest is Coach Dale Speckman out of Northeast Indianapolis. His youth fitness facility was just featured on the Fox 59 Morning Show.

Athletic Revolution is the only training center focused exclusively on youth fitness and athletic development. “Fitness is extremely important because the obesity rate in America has gone up in the last 10 years,” said Dale Speckman, owner of the recently opened facility.

Speckman’s facility features resistance band training and speed and agility training, among other things, delivered in fun and creative ways. For example, rather than prescribing sets and reps, young athletes develop skills through game play.

One speed and agility game, for example, is the “color game” which is designed to work on speed and agility skills. Athletes line up between colored objects, and when a color is called, they need to get to that object and back as quickly as they can.

“They have to listen to the auditory signal, process it mentally which works the brain, and then work acceleration and deceleration patterns.”

Athletic Revolution takes a multifaceted and holistic approach to youth athletic development. Athletes are trained not just physically, but mentally as well.

Youth Fitness Franchise Adds Fifth North Carolina Location

April 12, 2011- Asheville, North Carolina- Today, Athletic Revolution reached another growth milestone. It added its 30 franchise location overall, and its 5th North Carolina location.

“Thirty is a nice number,” says Operations Manager Timothy Ward, “but in my opinion, we’re just getting started. We have much loftier goals than that.”

Charlene Reeves is the owner of the newest location, and she is more than excited to get started. “I chose Athletic Revolution because I believe in what they do. I want to make a difference in my community, and helping kids reach their potential is a wonderful way to do it.”

The training system has been developed by some of the most well-known and successful Coaches in the world and was field-tested on more than 15,000 kids and teens around the globe. It is backed wholeheartedly by the International Youth Conditioning Association.

“In my opinion, Athletic Revolution has the best training system in the United States when it comes to kids and teenagers aged 6-18,” said Reeves. “All kids, not just the genetically gifted, will benefit.”

The growth of Athletic Revolution has come at the right time. Recent reports from the American Obesity Association put the youth obesity and overweight prevalence at over 30%.  The Wall Street Journal estimates that over 4 billion dollars are spent in the US alone on youth private training.

“Athletic Revolution is double-threat,” explained President, Pat Rigsby.

“The youth of today need a specific and carefully designed system within which they can improve and reach their goals. But from the Coach or Fitness Professional perspective, Athletic Revolution is perhaps the most potential oriented investment they could possibly make as a business”

“There is just no doubt that the ‘youth’ market is where career safety, security, and profitability is.”

Scottsdale Joins the Youth Fitness Movement

April 11, 2011- Athletic Revolution has signed its second Arizona location, a good sign for the kids in Scottsdale.

“We couldn’t be happier with the growth of Athletic Revolution so far” said President, Pat Rigsby. “Lee is going to make a tremendous franchisee. He’s dedicated to his craft.”

Athletic Revolution is the only facility that works exclusively with the 6-18 year old population. Very few training facilities have the full endorsement of the International Youth Conditioning Association.

According to Lee Gough, the owner of Athletic Revolution Scottsdale, “Athletic Revolution is the best fitness and sports training system for kids and teenagers. It’s remarkable.”

All Athletic Revolution coaches are required to be certified by the International Youth Conditioning Association as youth fitness specialists. This gives them an advantage over other coaches who only are qualified to work with adults.

“Kids and teenagers are not just miniature adults,” said Gough. “They have many different needs. They are still developing.”

The growth of Athletic Revolution has come at the right time. Recent reports from the American Obesity Association put the youth obesity and overweight prevalence at over 30%.  The Wall Street Journal estimates that over 4 billion dollars are spent in the US alone on youth private training.
