Cardio Tennis

Cardio Tennis is a fun group activity for anyone at any playing level looking for a fun way to burn calories and interact with others outside of the gym.

Cardio tennis runs every Thursday 13:30 – 14:30 and is a high energy fitness activity that combines on court hitting, with off court exercises, delivering the ultimate, full body workout!

Sessions run on one court in the University’s impressive indoor tennis centre and delivered by our own level 3 and 4 coaches.

We use low compression balls and rackets can be provided.

The class has a capacity of 16 people so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Walking Tennis

Specially designed for older adults in the local community, this friendly, low-impact class is perfect for anyone who wants to stay active in a safe and supportive environment.

With simplified rules, no running, and lots of laughter, Walking Tennis is an enjoyable way to improve your mobility, balance, and coordination without the pressure of a fast-paced game.
