WHY SHOULD A FACILITY OR A TENNIS PROFESSIONAL OFFER CARDIO TENNIS?
IT IS WHAT THE CONSUMER WANTS
The Sport and Fitness Participation Report from the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) states; today’s Physically Active Americans Want ‘Better Return’ From Their ‘Exercise Investment’. Three of the top 5 findings include:
1. Consumers want Group Exercise: It’s Motivating & Has Social Appeal. Class-oriented fitness activities — like high-impact aerobics, low-impact aerobics, and step aerobics – continue to have solid participation gains. Group exercise classes provide an economically attractive and psychologically uplifting environment that inspires people to perspire, alongside friends and colleagues.
2. Consumers want Tennis: It Has Social, Fitness, & Competitive Appeal. Since 2000, tennis participation has jumped 42.8%. Whether it’s singles or doubles, played indoors or outdoor, traditional or Cardio, people are falling in ‘love’ with tennis again.
3. Since 2008, six activities have had statistically significant, double-digit growth in participation. They are Cardio Tennis (41.8%), cardio kickboxing (20.1%), snowshoeing (17.4%), bow hunting (13.5%), yoga (13.2%), and table tennis (12.2%).
