Tennis Training


Are you a tennis player? If so you may want to come give these sessions a try for FREE. Here's a bit of information about the sessions:

The goal of this program is to improve the skills of ones tennis game at any skill level. Focus will be on explosive strength, speed, quickness, agility, injury prevention and mobility. A tennis match is repeated bouts of high intensity activity typically lasting 5-10 seconds with a rest period of 15-25 seconds. Training will act to mimic these facts.

Chronic pain/injuries along with imbalances that are commonly seen with tennis athletes will be taken into account in program design. With the ultimate goal of alleiving these short and long term injuries that many athletes have come to believe are just part of the game.
A typical session will consist of self myofascial release with a foam roller, a dynamic warm-up, activation work, resistance training, and static stretching to end the session.

Modes that will be used in training will be but not limited to bodyweight, foam rollers, dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, resistance bands, slide boards, gymnastic rings, and medicine balls. Modifications will be made whenever needed to tailor to the individual in a group setting.
