Weekly Sign-Up Classes

Cardio Tennis
Saturday 9-10 AM
Sign-up through activities desk prior to class
Cost $15/mem, $20/non-mem
Great Family Workout

Taught by a Certified Tennis Professional, a typical Cardio Tennis program includes a warm-up, cardio workout, and cool-down phase all within a drill-based workout. Each one has drills specifically designed to be fun, challenging and to get you moving. You will hit forehands, backhands, volleys, etc. But remember, Cardio Tennis is not about making you a great player. First and foremost, Cardio Tennis is a great workout. You run, you hit balls, you jump, you recover, and you have fun. Cardio Tennis is a full body workout. And, there may even be some music. The majority of the Cardio Tennis program is the “workout” phase, which should last as least 30-50 minutes and contain drills that will keep players moving and challenge their ability and fitness level. Pros will find ways to keep players of all levels moving and challenged… all while having fun! Cardio tennis runs on Saturdays from 9-10 AM and you must sign up in advance by calling the desk at 534-6770. UIf there is no sign-up two hours prior to class, it will be cancelled.

Weekend Workout
