Your coach · Tampa, FL

Meet your coach.

One coach, one standard. Every session on this site is run by Tom himself — someone who still competes, keeps learning, and actually enjoys being on court with you.

Who you'll be working with

Coached by someone who still plays.

Cardio Social is small on purpose. You get to know your coach, and your coach gets to know your game — which is the whole reason sessions are capped at six players and why the same person runs every one of them.

Coach Tom

Raised on the clay courts of the south of France, sharpened in American college tennis, and the reason Cardio Social exists.

  • Cardio tennis
  • Doubles strategy
  • Private & semi-private
  • High performance

Tom started Cardio Social because Tampa had plenty of places to hit balls and not many places to genuinely train while enjoying it. The idea was simple: small groups, real coaching, and an hour that leaves you properly worked without feeling like a fitness class.

He coaches full-time at one of the world's leading tennis academies, so the standard he brings to a Tuesday night group is the same one he brings to full-time players. A Master's in exercise science and a CSCS behind it means every session is built on how your body actually moves, recovers and develops — not just on how you hit.

  • Master's in Exercise & Nutrition Science — University of Tampa
  • Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)
  • Coaches full-time at one of the world's leading tennis academies
  • US college player · coaches on the junior ITF tour
  • RSPA-certified padel coach
