- Cost: $20+ tax per session
Are you a racket sport player? Tennis, squash, pickleball, racketball, ping pong, padel, etc.? You will want to check out this class, 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 class. 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 Tennis Court #3 at Global.
While this workout is perfect for someone playing a racket sport, the foundation of the class 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. You can attend just 1 or you can attend all 9! To reserve your spot, please email or text Makena at reachingformoore@gmail.com or 2508262206. All you have to do is let her know which dates you can make and she will get you registered on Global’s end, plus keep you up to date with details regarding the class(es) you have signed up for.
Makena looks forward to seeing you all on court where we can keep your sport and athletic fitness up over the fall!
