While other activities will give you a great workout, Cardio Tennis challenges you in so many ways.  Running, moving sideways, stretching, etc.  Your heart rate will also go through high intensity segments…followed by a short period of recovery.  This is very similar to interval training.

One of the major benefits is that you will have a much more social experience. Players in Cardio Tennis socialize …and have fun!  You are not drearily confined to a boring machine like you are in many other fitness activities.

We undertake to provide and maintain the best facilities, as cost effectively as possible on an affordable basis for all. Therefore, we aim to provide the highest amount of value and service for all our participants to play a sport that can involve all the family.

Our mission is to encourage everyone to participate in sport and physical activities to improve their health, fitness and well being, which are embedded within the local community.

• To make the wider population aware that tennis is an easier game to play and learn. Doing this partly through club school links to increase the profile and awareness within the local community.
• To help players at different stages of development and interest in racket sports to improve quickly and effectively.
• To show parents how to teach and and help their own children improve rapidly.
• To give colleagues and assistant coaches the skills and qualities they need to progress students to reach their full potential.
• To support schools with delivery of a simple and progressive tennis programme. Since  9 million children go to school in Great Britain its an obvious place to promote the programme and to encourage more children and young people to take up the sport.

• You consistently elevate your heart rate into your aerobic training zone
• It is more fun than working out on a machine
• You get short cycles of high intensity workouts and periods of rest, which burns more calories
• It is a fun group activity where players of all abilities enjoy tennis together
• You naturally improve your game because you hit so many balls and repeat various shots
• You can burn more calories than in a singles or doubles match and many other fitness options
• Fights the obesity crisis and offers a better fitness option for those not motivated to go to the gym
• Provides interval training scenario which is an effective way to achieve heart health and fitness
• The use of transition balls equalizes the playing field and ensures a great workout. The use of transition balls makes playing the sport easier because the ball moves slower.
• In classes of 6-8 people most women burn 300 to 500 calories per hour and men burn between 500 to 1,000.

Sam Richardson, Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) coach and UK Lead for Cardio Tennis: “Cardio Tennis is a really fun, social activity for everybody – whether younger or older – and for both men and women. In an hour’s session of cardio the average person could burn up to 700 calories, compared to 350 if you’re playing doubles and 500 if you’re playing singles, so it’s a great way to lose weight and get fit.”
