Are you a racket sport player? Tennis, squash, pickleball, racketball, ping pong, padel, etc.? You will want to check out this 9 week workout program, complete with bootcamp style workouts (i.e. high intensity interval training) that are designed to maximize your speed, strength, and power when on court! Global’s very own tennis player and personal trainer, Makena, will be your instructor for this program. She will lead you through circuits consisting of different agility, speed, power, force absorption/expression, stabilization, and strength components. All workouts will be done on the tennis courts at Global.

While this program is perfect for someone playing a racket sport, the foundation of the program is one that supports all sports and some of the key skills you must have to be an athlete. So if you are someone who does not play a racket sport but wants to improve their athleticism, feel free to join too!

The cost is $20/session ($180 per the whole 9 weeks) and you can reserve your spot by registering online or on the app with payment. Makena looks forward to seeing you all on court where we can keep your sport and athletic fitness up over the fall and winter months!
