TENNIS FITNESS FOR PLAYERS OVER 40
Get stronger. Move with confidence. Keep competing.
Build the strength to push off, the control to stop and change direction, and the conditioning to keep playing.
Beyond Cleared offers online strength and conditioning coaching and in-person training in Houston, built around your tennis schedule, training experience and goals.
Train for the tennis you want to keep playing.
BUILD STRENGTH
Train your legs, glutes, back and trunk to push off, reach wide and maintain strong positions on court.
TRAIN THE BRAKES
Develop the strength and control to absorb force, slow down and change direction. Progress toward faster movement as you become ready for it.
BUILD YOUR ENGINE
Develop the conditioning to repeat quality efforts and recover between them. Your court time helps determine how much additional work you need.
PREPARE YOUR SHOULDERS AND HIPS
Build strength, control and usable range into your regular training so preparation becomes part of the plan.
Training that fits around your tennis.
Our online program starts with three strength sessions and two conditioning priorities each week, with an optional easy aerobic or recovery session. Conditioning can be attached to strength days.
With individualized coaching, we adjust the workload around your matches, recovery and available training time.
