The Owner
Jeff Heinemann grew up in Texas, attended Baylor University and later practiced medicine in Houston for 10 years before heading out west. First moving to Park City in 2010, then to Reno in 2016. He has spent over 20 years in healthcare as an anesthesiologist and now has turned his attention to helping people in other ways.
With a lifelong interest in sports and outdoor activities, two kids involved in sports, combined with a medical career that revolved heavily around physiology, he saw a great match with Athletic Republic. He wanted to bring a business to Reno that would be valuable to the community, while fulfilling his interests and entrepreneurial passions.
He is excited to bring Athletic Republic to Reno to help athletes of all ages reach their full athletic potentials, as well as reach their personal goals, and do it with the highly effective and evidence-based practices of Athletic Republic.
