10,000 steps keeps you moving\u2014but CourtsApp makes movement powerful. By turning<\/em>
activity into consistent, high-intensity play and community, CourtsApp helps support longevity and the kind of lifestyle linked to a longer, healthier life.<\/em><\/p>

New York, N.Y. (January 2, 2026)<\/strong> \u2014 CourtsApp, the first AI-powered marketing and
booking platform built to modernize court marketing and reservations, is ringing in the
New Year redefining what App health technology looks like by getting people off their
phones and onto the court.<\/p>

CourtsApp helps players instantly find and book open courts
for tennis, pickleball, padel, and more; removing the friction that keeps people from playing regularly.<\/p>

CourtsApp is gaining global attention as a powerful \u2013 and free \u2013 tool for physical,
mental, and social health. Unlike traditional fitness or wellness apps, CourtsApp doesn’t
compete for screen time \u2013 it converts it into movement.<\/p>

CourtsApp is quickly earning its reputation as \u201cThe healthiest app in the world.\u201d<\/strong> With
no required specialized equipment, no digital classes, and no prolonged screen
engagement, CourtsApp is unlike subscription-heavy fitness platforms or virtual workout
apps. Instead, it promotes full-body movement, outdoor play, and authentic humanconnection, all factors consistently linked to improved longevity and mental well-being.<\/p>

In a way, CourtsApp is an enabler to a healthier relationship with your phone. “CourtsApp turns your phone into a gateway to real-world health'” said Daren Hornig, CourtsApp founder and CEO. “years, we\u2019ve been told that you can stay fit and lose weight by walking 10,000 steps a day, taking a Peloton class online or going to a gym. However sports like tennis and pickleball give you a greater chance to achieve your health and fitness goals and live a longer and healthier life. And there\u2019s no better time to start than the New Year”<\/p>

Recent studies published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine underscore why this matters. Long-term research following more than 80,000 adults over nearly a decade
found that participants in racquet sports experienced a 47% lower risk of death from any cause and up to a 56% lower risk of cardiovascular-related death compared to non-participants.<\/p>

In addition, a Copenhagen City Heart Study followed 8,500 people for 25 years and found that recreational tennis players will live an average of 9.7 years longer than they would have otherwise. The benefits stem from a unique combination of aerobic
exercise, full-body engagement, mental focus, and social interaction.<\/p>

While racquet sports are among the strongest predictors of longevity, CourtsApp exists
to make playing them easier. The average adult now spends more than seven hours per day staring at screens, contributing to rising rates of obesity, heart disease, anxiety, and social isolation. Additionally, millions of people strive to walk 10,000 steps a day thinking
that it\u2019s the health alternative. 10,000 steps keeps you moving\u2014but CourtsApp makes movement powerful. By turning activity into consistent, high-intensity play and
community, CourtsApp helps support longevity and the kind of lifestyle linked to a longer, healthier life.<\/p>


CourtsApp is designed to solve this problem. By using technology as a mobilizing force
rather than a distraction, the app makes it easy for users to discover nearby tennis and
pickleball courts, identify open playing times, and connect with others in their local
community.<\/p>

CourtsApp isn’t just another app on your phone; it’s part of a broader movement toreclaim real life through play. Backed by science and powered by community, the
platform is redefining what health technology can achieve.<\/p>

Currently live to players with more than 1,500 courts across 150+ facilities<\/strong> already signed on throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, CourtsApp will extend from Maine to Florida by the first quarter of 2026 before expanding market-by-market as
club density increases. Additional play-in markets, including Southern California, Texas,and the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>
