While continuing in his role leading Yoga Six, Barbaresi will draw on his expertise and relationships to assist Athletic Republic in further growing its business. “I have known Peter for the past eight years and have always been impressed with his keen insights into the sports training business,” said Athletic Republic CEO, Charlie Graves. “We share a common passion in helping athletes improve their performance, and have complimentary skill sets that will help Athletic Republic franchises continue to grow.”
“I have long admired Athletic Republic and the support the company provides its franchise operators. AR combines systemized training protocols, trainer education and development programs, marketing campaigns, and business operations support to anchor a training system that has helped shape the sports performance training industry,” stated Barbaresi. “I look forward to the opportunity to advise the AR team wherever I can add value.”
