Meet the Paul Family

Welcome to Athletic Republic Louisville — we’re Chris and Corinne Paul, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring this incredible training experience to our hometown community.

We’ve called Louisville home for over 15 years, and together we’ve built our lives around helping others grow, push their limits, and reach their goals — both in sports and in life. Creating a space that’s welcoming, encouraging, and grounded in hard work is at the heart of everything we do.

Chris’s journey with Athletic Republic actually started years ago when he was a football player at South Dakota State University. Back then, he wasn’t just training—he was also working as a performance coach, learning firsthand how the right science and structure can elevate an athlete’s game. After earning his degree in Exercise Science and Kinesiology, he knew he wanted to one day create that same kind of impact for others. Now, things have come full circle as he opens the doors to Athletic Republic Louisville and helps local athletes chase their own dreams.

Corinne has always had a passion for both sports and people. A former college volleyball and basketball player, she understands what it takes to build a team and compete with heart. After earning her degree in Family and Consumer Sciences, she taught Health & PE and Foods & Nutrition, and coached several championship teams. Later, her love for helping others find balance and purpose led her to earn a Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy. Today, she continues that work as a therapist at Apricus Counseling, helping individuals and families thrive beyond the game.

Sports are a big part of our family story. Our oldest is in Lexington, sharpening his business skills and dreaming of returning to Louisville to be part of his dad’s future ventures. Our middle child is a senior defensive end who’s handled a tough injury this year with incredible strength and resilience — he’ll soon start training in AR’s Bridge Program as he prepares to get back on the field. Our youngest is a freshman setter on her high school JV volleyball team, bringing energy, focus, and fun to every match.

As a family, we believe in hard work, perseverance, and community — and we’re thrilled to bring those same values to every athlete who walks through our doors. Whether you’re chasing a scholarship, getting back from injury, or just trying to move and feel your best, we’re here to help you reach your next level.

At Athletic Republic Louisville, it’s not just about training. It’s about believing in what’s possible — and helping you get there.
