What makes a good indoor tennis facility? With the steady stream of technology being incorporated into the tennis world, I wanted to profile an indoor tennis facility that is at the forefront of innovation and delivers a truly remarkable indoor tennis experience. Let’s take a closer look at one facility that has led the way in incorporating new technologies and products into its facility.

Located in Southwest Michigan, Grand Rapids Racquet and Fitness was purchased by the current owners a few years ago and almost immediately underwent an extensive renovation project to the interior of the building, which included upgrades to the indoor tennis court area, conversion of old basketball courts into 4 indoor pickleball courts, and improvements to the workout area. Tom Walker and his team chose Sports Interiors to remove the old lighting system and implement its LED Lighting System and Liner System to the ceiling and walls of the indoor tennis court area. Light levels and overall quality of light increased dramatically while energy and maintenance savings were significantly reduced.

In addition to the upgrades to the indoor tennis court area and new pickleball courts, Grand Rapids Racquet and Fitness invested in Playsight, which is the only camera-based sports system to provide live streaming, multi-angle video and analytics. Playsight is endorsed and used by many of the top tennis professionals and collegiate teams as the use of live-streaming and data analytics becomes more and more popular.

Lastly, Grand Rapids Racquet and Fitness tapped Club Automation as its choice for its club management platform. Club Automation provides all the software, services and features athletic facilities need to increase revenue, reduce costs and engagement membership. The people behind Club Automation and the product they deliver is why so many of the top athletic clubs in the country choose Club Automation.

In summary, Grand Rapids Racquet and Fitness has developed and executed a plan to deliver a top notch experience for those that engage with its facility from the upgrades to the indoor tennis court area to adding 4 new pickleball courts to meet local demand. The investments in technologies such as Playsight and Club Automation confirm the ownership of Grand Rapids Racquet and Fitness understand the importance of these assets in order to deliver a world class experience.
