About the Founder

At 77 years young, Jules Apatini — innovator, mentor, and former lead vocalist of the rock band The Fugitives — is bringing a lifetime of creative passion into a singular mission: To give back.

From his patented invention The Smart Selfie Exercise and Filming Racquet to his immersive training at PingPod, Jules is on a mission to equip and inspire a new generation of athletes and thinkers — through music, movement, and mentorship.

The Program

The Pay It Forward Kid is a skills transfer program that allows elders and experienced professionals to share what they know through stories, videos, and interactive training sessions. The program has over 15 active participants currently training with Jules at PingPod locations.
