The Programs:
At Highlands Centre, there is a range of different programs that we are excited to check out, but one we admit we’ve REEEAAAALLLY got our eye on is the Cardio Pop.
Cardio Pop is a high-energy, super fun workout that combines tennis with cardio, all set to some fantastic tunes. Sounds like a party, right? Send us an invite, please!
Cardio Pop Tennis is designed to be fun and accessible for everyone, with padel racquets, low compression balls, and smaller courts. It’s a game that’s perfect for all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re new to the game, playing for fun, or have a competitive streak, you’ll fit right in. The underarm drop serve makes it incredibly easy to start playing, so no previous tennis experience is needed. Perfect for us newbies!
Sessions are held every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30am to 10:30 am at the Highlands Centre. With friendly coaches guiding you every step of the way, you’ll be hitting those balls and getting fit in no time. Cardio Pop is even more fun played in doubles, so bring a friend and double the fun!
If you love the sound of this, then why not sign up for a free trial [freebies baby]. You can fill out the form on the Highlands Centre website to get started on your Cardio Pop adventure.
Other great programs at Highlands Centre include Basketball, Netball, Tennis and Fitness Programs, so there’s plenty of fun to choose from.
Okay, who’s pumped? We sure are! If you’ve been looking for a chance to switch up your movement game, then now’s the time to check out the Highlands Centre. Whether you’re trying Cardio Pop for the first time, hitting the tennis courts with Sergio, or diving into one of the other great programs, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere and top-notch facilities.
And if you’re keen to work on your serve even more, don’t miss out on the epic programs with Highlands Tennis. For adults, there’s social tennis, cardio tennis, pop tennis, pickleball, and even private coaching.
Kids have loads of fab options too, from coaching programs for preschoolers all the way up to big kids as well as private lessons and amazing holiday camps.
