Tennis Comments
"My friend and I like to play tennis, but were looking for a place to play a few times per week and get a little help. We were more into the exercise part of it at first, but now we are getting more into the game itself, thanks to Ron. A must try."
-Valerie and Katrina
"I have played tennis for years, and have been stuck in the same old - bad - game forever. I can't believe how much you showed me in one hour. I am now playing a lot better and am finally able to beat my husband - now that's priceless! I look forward to taking lessons from you. "
"I had taken formal lessons for 2 years and was great at drills, but still could not play tennis. I was terrible. However, having to wait around to hit one stupid ball every 10 minutes was not helping either - neither was sharing a court with 10 other people. Last year, I decided to look around for private lessons but came across Get a Grip Chicago, and wow! In just ONE year, I have learned how to play tennis and finally beat my brother!"
Paul Gorman
"Not only am I meeting new people and learning very quickly, but I also lost 15 pounds, no kidding."
- Shelly
"I am an amateur player and my wife is a beginner. This club is perfect for us because we can play at the same time, but on different courts. It's cool seeing her get into the game, but without my help. LOL. She is having fun and getting better. My game has also improved a lot. I also the idea of not having to wait for others because the class is offer booked. We did that last year and it was not too fun."
"OK, to be honest, I normally only write comments when I am mad...LOL, but Ron deserves a little praise. He works hard and is very professional - never late and always comes ready. He is also a great tennis instructor, and his tennis club is refreshingly different, fun and EXTREMELY effective."
Brian Casey
"I wasn't sure what to expect. But, I enjoyed learning about the basic techniques, as my previous tennis experience was just by picking up a racket and hitting the ball. (Maybe that's why it wasn't such a good experience.) So, I really enjoyed Ron's teachings, as it built up confidence to get started on the right foot. Now, it would just be a matter of practice, practice, practice before moving to the next level. "
"We have not only found a way to do things together, but we also now have a way to stay in shape and be more active. This beats going to the movies and dinner together any day of the week - actually, we still do that, but now we talk about our tennis games over dinner. LOL. Thanks a lot! "
"I must admit, when I first walked up to my first class, things seemed more social than tennis-like. However, once Ron started the class, I became more impressed with him and the way the class was structured by the minute. Not only did I improve a lot that day, but I also met some really cool people and had a lot of fun. This club is great."
Spencer Whitmore
"I think I just went up a notch after this class. Ron is amazing! I learned so much about net play and my backhand. I also learned about tennis rhythm and how to play the game, not just hit the ball. The class was also fun and the instructor was pretty funny. "
"Ron is a great trainer and the people there are friendly. Good location too."
Ryan
"Wow! This club gets right to the point and improves your game. Not much talking here, just play and learn with real game instruction! Save your money if you are going somewhere else. This is the most effective tennis club in Chicago! "
"I looked around for a few weeks trying to find the best place to play and find playing partners, and this is - by far - the best out there. It's amazing how difficult it is to find affordable tennis lessons and people to play with. Thanks, and Keep up the good work, GetaGripChicago."
-Jeff M.
“We had a great beginners' lesson - the instructors were patient and thorough and we had a blast actually "playing" for about an hour after the lesson. Highly recommend.”
- Alex and Kristine.
“ I really wanted to cancel, but I dragged my body over there (to class), and glad I did. They're really nice, and helpful, I used to play years ago, now I remember why I loved it so much. They are patient, (I'm not very) and it was great fun, I'll be going back.
- Linda
“Great coaching. Very clear and easy to understand! Thanks Ronald and Russell. Tennis is easy with these wonderful instructors."
- Derby
"I joined both the tennis and golf GetaGrip clubs this past Spring and have had very positive experiences with both! Prior to joining I had very minimal experience with both sports, but after attending weekly lessons (once or twice weekly) for each, I'm feeling confident enough to start playing with friends that have years of experience. As others have written, Ron -the instructor, is patient, friendly, and knowledgeable, and makes the lessons fun but productive..."
-Kate Hess
