Tennis
Global Fitness has 2 outdoor & 3 indoor tennis courts for use all year round. Whether you are trying to keep cool in the summer, or practice your backhand we have leagues and lessons for everyone.
A game for all ages:
Unlike most other sports, tennis can be played at any age, with friends and family, and in competition.
A game for Life:
A study in the American Journal of Medicine showed that tennis has the highest rate of sustainability: 33% of men who played in their 20's continued to play in mid-life, providing healthy long-term benefits.
A game for everyone:
Tennis is one of the only sports where able-bodied and wheelchair players can play together.
A game that's healthier:
As a low-impact, non-contact sport, tennis produces fewer injuries. In 2005, Consumer Reports ranked singles tennis as one of the best calorie-burning workouts, particularly good for the upper and lower body, offering significant cardiovascular and weight-bearing benefits.
