The aim of KnotPoint is to optimise the value proposition of sports clubs and centres by going beyond fitness, offering a new experience, conceived for functional and personalised training for sports lovers, which allows users to select their physical training, designed by fitness professionals and professional players, as well as medical prevention services via app, in permanent contact with doctors, nutritionists and psychologists.

I am confident that the dream will soon become a reality" says Alberto Rodriguez-Piñon, former professional padel and tennis player, currently amateur golf player and founding partner of KnotPoint.
