Improve Your Tennis Game with Tennetics

A professional athlete and business executive, Randall Hunt is the founder of Athletic Apex, a health club that operates in multiple cities. An entrepreneur and health and fitness advocate, Randall Hunt developed the Bionetics Tennetics system to improve tennis players' games.

A unique program comprised of assessment, nutrition, supplementation, and exercise components, the Tennetics Bionetics system is designed to improve tennis players’ performance and lengthen their playing career. Approved and used by the United States Professional Tennis Association (USTPTA), this system determines and corrects the physical limitations of the body that are interfering with an ideal playing performance. The Tennetics program helps tennis players to improve the range of mobility in their shoulders, hips, and trunk, and helps to prevent injuries and minimize inflammation.

The Tennetics Bionetics system is one of six Bionetics programs offered by the Athletic Apex. The other programs include Golfnetics, Body Transformation, Chronic Pain, Optimal Health, and Performance.

 

Fitness Centers Can Play a Role in Managing Stress

Randall Hunt founded the Athletic Apex, a fitness club that has branches in New York, Florida, and Texas. As the company head, Randall Hunt developed Bionetics, a program that matches a person’s biology with the appropriate fitness plan. This resulted in the fitness center being featured in publications such as the International Health Racquet and Sports Association (IHRSA), an organization that supports the health and fitness industry.

In October, the IHRSA published an article highlighting the significance of the fitness center in helping members cope with stress. The backdrop to the article was the pandemic, and the author used data to support the effect of gym closures on people who had memberships looking at various factors including stress.

The figures show that many people (57 percent) were not as active during the stay-at-home orders. With more time at home, people had plenty to stress about during this time away from work and the gym. Some of the most common stressors included health-related issues (76 percent), the economy (65 percent), the presidential election (58 percent), their own immunity (49 percent), and racial inequality (39 percent).

Now that many establishments have re-opened some people have chosen to return to the gym. The data shows that people who returned to the gym have experienced less stress in comparison to those who chose to cancel their membership or refrain from attending the gym. For instance, forty-four percent of those who returned to the gym were concerned about their immunity as opposed to 54 percent of people who have this same worry but do not work out at the gym.

 

PGA Reach Provides Access through Fellowship

Randall Hunt is the CEO and founder of Athletic Apex. Also a golf player, Randall Hunt not only attended Pepperdine University in Malibu on a golf scholarship but also went on to play professional golf, even becoming a member of the PGA of America right after college.

Long known for its tours, PGA of America is also a home to the PGA Reach program, which provides young adults with internship opportunities through its PGA Works Fellowship. The PGA Reach program is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that seeks to positively impact the lives of those in the military, youth, and diverse populations by providing access to PGA Golf, and the PGA Works Fellowship is one of the programs that carry out this mission.

The fellowship is a one-year, paid internship that immerses the person in the world of golf-mainly its PGA Section’s Foundation operations. The internship is offered during the fall and winter and is designed to give students a glimpse of what a career in golf might be like.

The program focuses on providing access to people from a cross-section of the population, regardless of race, class, gender veteran’s status, disability, religion, ancestry, or national origin. This year, 11 fellows work in 11 PGA Sections, and since the fellowship’s inception, nine of the 10 fellowship alumni have gotten employment in the golf industry with the one gaining employment in another part of sports.
