What is Cardio Tennis?
Group fitness. On a tennis court.
Cardio Tennis is a 60-minute group class that blends tennis drills, cardio bursts and games — all set to music with a buzzing, motivating coach. You don't need to be good at tennis. You just need trainers and a willingness to smile while you sweat.
Designed for adults who want fun, social, effective exercise — not another grim hour at the gym.
