Cardio Tennis is a fun way to get a great workout while playing tennis. It’s a group activity that includes a short 5-10 minute warm up phase, a 30-50 minute workout phase, and a 5-10 minute cool down phase. The 30-50 minute workout phase includes mostly fast - paced drills where the Pro feeds balls to players based on their ability and fitness level.

New Obstacle Course Now Open for Training
5/08/08
We have built a 150 yard obstacle course. This course was built from the ground up and is designed for the highest level of training. The course is actually built to assist a team of fitness athletes that are training to compete in a World Fitness competition that is held in Las Vegas in July of each year. Our team of athletes is already gathering every Saturday to hit the course and work on improving their times. Although the course seems like a competition in itself, these athletes also have several other obstacles to complete in the competition. They have several fitness skills (including bench pressing 60% of their body weight as many times as they can, shuttle run and box jumps), fitness routines and a physic round.
The 150 yard Obstacle course consists of a 10 foot wall, football grid, incline and decline monkey bars, balance beam, 15 foot cargo net, hurdles, steeple jump, as well as an over and under bar. We will be extending this training to ALL members of the Lakes. We are very excited to offer both training camps and competitions. Please contact Chance Williams with questions or inquiries regarding obstacle course training and group workouts.
