Cardio Tennis is a fun, sociable group fitness class with a tennis twist. This tennis workout is open to anyone - all ages (14yrs up) and abilities and you don't need to be a member of Somerton Tennis Club to join-in!

Everyone is welcome to Cardio Tennis, no matter what your skill level is! The class moves along quickly, so no one will be judging your skills, and it doesn’t matter whether the ball goes in or out.

Great music, great cardio and great people – what’s not to like? You’ll get to hit lots of tennis balls during your class, build up your fitness and work up a sweat - it's a lot more fun than the gym!

You might be wondering, “is tennis good exercise?” - the short answer is yes! Tennis offers a great workout from a cardio fitness perspective as well as working out muscles across your body, from your core to your glutes.
