Tennis Pilates is coming to Brookside Gym from July!
Spend more time enjoying yourself on the tennis court and less time worrying about injury with Pilates for tennis. The programme is specifically designed for the needs of tennis players.
Tennis is a lifelong game, but injuries can get in the way. These are often caused by muscle over dominance or imbalance in.
