The hyperfine spin splittings in heavy quarkonia are studied using the recently developed renormalization group improved spin-spin potential which is independent of the scale parameter $\mu$. The calculated energy difference between the $J/\psi$ and the $\eta_c$ fits the experimental data well, while the predicted energy difference $\Delta M_p$ between the center of the gravity of $1^3P_{0,1,2}$ states and the $1^1P_1$ state of charmonium has the correct sign but is somewhat larger than the experimental data. This is not surprising since there are several other contributions to $\Delta M_p$, which we discuss, that are of comparable size ($\sim 1$ MeV) that should be included, before precise agreement with the data can be expected. The mass differences of the $\psi'-\eta_c'$, $\Upsilon(1S)-\eta_b$, $\Upsilon(2S)-\eta_b'$, and $B_c^*-B_c$ are also predicted.
