Asheville Racquet & Fitness Club

Cardio tennis is back!!! What is cardio tennis? Cardio tennis is a fun, group activity, featuring a circuit of heart pumping drills to give players of all abilities an ultimate, high-energy workout! Cardio tennis is for both beginners and advanced tennis players. While you do hit balls in cardio tennis, it does not matter whether you hit them in or out. Cardio tennis will not only help you get into shape, but it will improve your tennis skills as well. The goal of the class is to help people get into shape doing something that they love. We also hope to increase participation and interest in the sport of tennis. Cardio tennis classes at ARFC will be limited to 6 participants per class. The cardio tennis schedule is as follows. Additional classes may be added eventually based on the demand for the class. This cardio tennis schedule will run from March 9 - April 17. At that point, the schedule may be adjusted and additional classes may be added.
