Cardio Tennis Singapore – High-Energy Fitness Tennis Workouts
Want all the fitness benefits of tennis in a high-energy, music-driven group workout format? At Sanwa X, cardio tennis in Singapore gives you a fantastic way to get fit, sharpen your tennis movement skills, and have a great time — all in one high-intensity session at our NTU@one-north rooftop courts.
What Is Cardio Tennis?
Cardio tennis is a group fitness activity that uses tennis movements, drills, and skills in a circuit-style workout format. It combines the athletic demands of tennis — running, stopping, turning, hitting — with the energy of a group fitness class. This format suits all levels, including complete beginners, because the focus is on movement and fitness rather than stroke perfection. Our professional coaching team designs every session to keep your heart rate elevated while simultaneously building tennis-specific coordination.

- Improves cardiovascular fitness and on-court endurance

How Cardio Tennis Works at Sanwa X Singapore
Our cardio tennis sessions at NTU@one-north integrate athletic movement drills with ball striking, designed to elevate your heart rate and build fitness. Each session runs in structured intervals, alternating between high-intensity movement drills and active recovery periods. Our professional coaching team runs every session — so the experience is always varied, expert-led, and engaging.
Unlike traditional group tennis lessons, cardio tennis places fitness first. However, because our coaches are former professional players, your technique will naturally improve as a direct byproduct of the drills. As a result, cardio tennis is an excellent bridge for players who want to improve their fitness and game simultaneously before joining a structured group lesson programme.
Who Is Cardio Tennis For?
Cardio tennis is ideal for players who want the social energy of a group workout without the pressure of match play. Indeed, it suits complete beginners, returning players, and fitness enthusiasts who enjoy moving on a tennis court. Our coaches guide each session, so your technique will still improve — but the primary goal is elevating your heart rate and burning calories.
At Sanwa X, these classes are a popular choice among working professionals in Singapore who prefer early morning or lunchtime exercise. Furthermore, many expats find that cardio tennis offers a fun social fitness activity in a welcoming and friendly environment.
Cross-Training with Pickleball at One North
Many of our cardio tennis regulars add pickleball as a low-impact second racket sport. Conveniently, PickleChoo Arena — Singapore’s premier public pickleball venue — shares our address at 11 Slim Barracks Rise, One North, with courts open daily from 6am to 10pm and walk-ins welcome. The footwork, hand-eye coordination, and net reflexes you build in cardio tennis transfer directly to pickleball, and vice versa.

Frequently Asked Questions – Cardio Tennis Singapore
Do I need to know how to play tennis to join cardio tennis?
No prior tennis experience is needed. We design every session to be accessible for complete beginners, with the focus on movement, fitness, and fun rather than technical stroke proficiency. Additionally, our coaches explain each drill clearly and adjust the intensity for participants at different fitness levels.
How many calories does cardio tennis burn?
Cardio tennis typically burns between 400 and 700 calories per hour, depending on your body weight, fitness level, and the intensity of the session. This makes it one of the highest-calorie-burn group fitness activities available in Singapore — comparable to running or cycling classes but with the added benefit of tennis skill development.
Where are cardio tennis sessions held in Singapore?
Sanwa X cardio tennis sessions are held at our NTU@one-north courts, 11 Slim Barracks Rise, Singapore 138664 — just 7 minutes from Buona Vista MRT. Our rooftop courts feature excellent lighting for evening sessions and well-maintained hard court surfaces.
What should I bring to a cardio tennis session?
Bring non-marking court shoes, a water bottle, a towel, and comfortable athletic clothing. Sanwa X provides all tennis balls for group sessions. If you have your own racket, bring it — though we can provide one for your first trial session if needed.
How is cardio tennis different from regular tennis group lessons?
Regular group tennis lessons focus on technical skill development, match strategy, and progressive improvement through structured drills and point play. Cardio tennis prioritises cardiovascular fitness and calorie burn, using tennis movements as the exercise medium. Both formats are expert-led at Sanwa X and complement each other well — many students attend both each week.
