TENNIS BUMSign in
For 3.0–3.5 players in their 30s & 40s

Play better tennis at 45 than you did at 25.

The training system for club players who want to get stronger, stop getting hurt, and keep improving — so you’re still winning on court at 80, not stuck on the sideline with a shoulder that never came back. Real strength. Real injury-proofing. A real plan. Without living in the gym.

This is for you if…

  • You’re 30, 40, 50+ and refuse to let your body be the reason you quit.
  • You’re stuck at 3.0 or 3.5 and your rating hasn’t moved in years.
  • You’ve tweaked a shoulder, knee, or back — and it scared you.
  • You want to get stronger, but gym-bro programs feel all wrong for tennis.
  • You want to still be playing — and improving — decades from now.

Not for you if you’re after a magic pill, or you won’t put in two or three sessions a week.

The truth

After 30, your body is the bottleneck — not your forehand.

Here’s what nobody tells you. Every year you don’t train, you lose strength, your joints get stiffer, and you get a step slower. You take lessons, but your rating won’t budge — because your engine can’t cash the checks your strokes are writing. And the scary part? Most rec players don’t quit tennis because they stop loving it. They quit because their body gives out. A shoulder. A knee. A back that never came back. The Academy exists so that’s never you.

What it does

Built to keep you on court for life

Get stronger

Tennis-specific strength that adds pop to your serve and legs to your movement — without bulking up or living under a barbell.

Stop getting hurt

Protect and armor the shoulders, knees, back, and ankles tennis punishes — so you stop losing months to the same nagging tweaks.

Level up your game

Break the 3.0/3.5 plateau with the fitness, footwork, and match IQ to finally win the close ones and climb your rating.

Questions

Before you join

I’m in my 40s. Am I too old to start?

If you can walk onto a court, you’re not too old. This is built for exactly the 30-, 40-, 50-something body — we start where you are and build.

I’ve got a cranky shoulder or knee already. Can I still do this?

Yes — building resilience there is the whole point. (If you’re currently injured, clear it with your doctor first; then we work around it and rebuild.)

I’ve barely lifted. Is that ok?

Completely. You’re coached through every movement, with form cues and timers, at a pace that builds safely.

How much time does it take?

Two to three sessions a week, built around a busy life. Short, specific, and done — not two hours in a gym.

I already take lessons. How is this different?

Lessons fix your strokes. The Academy builds the athlete underneath them — the strength, durability, and fitness that actually move your rating.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, from Settings. You keep access to the end of the period, and your free Club membership never goes away.

Your move

You’ve got two options

Keep doing what you’re doing — a little slower, a little stiffer, a little closer to the season your body makes the decision for you. Or start building the strength and durability to play the best tennis of your life, for the rest of your life. $997/yr. Starts today.
