Grand Rapids Racquet and Fitness

We have known Tom Walker and been acquainted with Grand Rapids Racquet and Fitness (GRRF) and their staff for almost ten years. There are not words to adequately describe the tremendous impact Tom and GRRF have had on our son and our family. Our oldest son Colson had a dream has a middle schooler to play Big Ten Tennis. At the time that dream seemed impossible. But Tom and GRRF staff worked tirelessly to make that dream come true. It was glamorous and it wasn’t showy. It was humbly getting on the court with him for numerous hours. Tom has a gift for breaking down tennis technique and holding you accountable until you get it. It was also taking countless calls and texts from a kid and parents trying to figure out the whole junior and college tennis journey. Sometimes it was encouragement sometimes it was giving us the hard truth so we could grow and become better. Even once Colson left the juniors and headed to the University of Nebraska, the support we have received from Tom and GRRF has not stopped.

I don’t know when the right age to start tennis is, but it doesn’t seem to be 10. I brought my daughter because she expressed she wanted to try tennis.

I could always tell that she wanted to join sports, but was just too nervous, so when she told me that she wanted to try tennis, I was so proud and happy for her. Her first session was fine however she said two boys were really rude to her and making comments like “she sucks” and “ Great now we’re going to lose because she’s on our team” luckily, she had good spirits and understood that they were just younger boys and she moved on. I did text message one of the youth director, Josie and she was very kind and said that she would watch for that type of behavior the next session. This was completely fine with me due to knowing that kids can be mean and there’s really nothing you can do about it because that type of behavior stems from home. Yesterday she had a session, once we got in the car, she told me that she did not want to go to her final session next week. I asked why and she said one of the guy instructors kept

As a guest, I played Pickleball here Tuesday morning after being gone for three years and was so impressed with how the place has evolved! 8 beautiful indoor pickleball courts, excellent lighting and a real positive “vibe”. I was excited to buy a new membership on the way out and can’t wait to come back, often. Keep up the great work, Tom and Team. 5 Stars +++.

Played here on a guest pass while in town. Best place to play indoor Pickleball in Grand Rapids. Excellent surface, nets, and lighting. They have exclusive pickleball courts, but you can reserve a converted tennis court if the pickle ball courts are full.
