Speaker:

Our first question is, what is GoTennis?

Speaker:

And with that, I answer with our identity,

Speaker:

which is, quote, GoTennis is an online community

Speaker:

for aggregated information, events, coaches, and players,

Speaker:

starting in Metro Atlanta.

Speaker:

And well, to start, it's a calendar.

Speaker:

It is one calendar for Atlanta tennis.

Speaker:

So, Bobby Schindler, what does that mean?

Speaker:

We are trying to make it simple

Speaker:

for the recreational tennis player

Speaker:

to find out everything that is going on about tennis.

Speaker:

So far in the industry, there's nothing really

Speaker:

that serves that purpose.

Speaker:

Outer, everybody thinks is out,

Speaker:

is tennis in Atlanta and outer is just that.

Speaker:

It's a separate recreational league.

Speaker:

The largest recreational league in the country,

Speaker:

but it's a standing entity, a stand-alone entity.

Speaker:

It does not interact with the USDA.

Speaker:

It does not interact with the GPTA,

Speaker:

the joint of professional tennis association.

Speaker:

It's a stand-alone.

Speaker:

So we want to be that bridge.

Speaker:

We want, when somebody moves into Atlanta,

Speaker:

and wants to learn more about tennis in Atlanta,

Speaker:

we want them to go to go to GoTennis.

Speaker:

When somebody moves to a new community

Speaker:

and wants to find out what goes on in their community,

Speaker:

we want them to go to GoTennis.

Speaker:

If you live in a two-court facility

Speaker:

that doesn't have a tennis instructor,

Speaker:

but you want to take weekly drills,

Speaker:

we want you to be able to go to GoTennis

Speaker:

and see where someplace close by,

Speaker:

you might be able to get in and to drill.

Speaker:

Or drive if you want to see different parts.

Speaker:

Make it an adventure, whatever it is.

Speaker:

We also want to be the bridge

Speaker:

for the recreational tennis player

Speaker:

to learn everything.

Speaker:

There is to know about the industry.

Speaker:

If your interest in, hopefully,

Speaker:

we'll be able to provide the answers for you.

Speaker:

And if we don't know the answers,

Speaker:

we'll be the first ones to help you find those answers.

Speaker:

So we want to take up a space

Speaker:

as the maybe the Google of the Atlanta,

FITNESS PROFESSIONAL
I have been training and coaching clients through private and group classes for the past 20 years! As a dancer, lifelong fitness and wellness advocate I found in Pilates the perfect balance between mind and body.
Known to my clients as "Coach Geovi," my interdisciplinary knowledge, experience and passion is going to inspire you, motivate you, and give you all the tools to achieve your individual fitness and wellness goals.

PILATES TRAINING AND CERTIFICATIONS
I became a certified Instructor with AFPA and has trained and worked with internationally recognized institutions and instructors, in combination with my passion to help and guide others, it has become my life mission, to help others in their journey to achieve optimal fitness and overall wellness independently of their fitness level. Holding an international Pilates Mat and Apparatus certification with Centro Zen Pilates, Zumba and Reiki healing training and certifications as well, my personal and individual approach to mind and body conditioning makes my clients more aware of their own body’s needs and how to optimize every single movement to their full benefit.

PERSONAL LIFE
Born and raised in Ecuador, I moved to the US when I was 24 years old and eventually found my passion for Pilates sending me into the journey of fitness and wellness. I had the great opportunity to homeschool our two children, Colette is a graduate from Duke University and Michael is a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps. I have been blessed with wonderful children and an amazing husband, whose love and support are my inspiration. In October 2022 we welcomed Geovanni Shaun Boyce to our family.
