INTENSITY Fitness

What INTENSITY Fitness does

INTENSITY Fitness, operating as INTENSITY Racquet Club under the legal entity Total Tennis and Fitness LLC, is a family-owned racquet sports club founded in 2001 and headquartered at 490 Westport Ave, Norwalk, Connecticut. The club serves Fairfield County with four racquet sports under one roof: tennis, squash, pickleball, and platform paddle tennis, alongside group fitness programming. Core facility capacity includes 12 indoor pickleball courts, 6 indoor hard tennis courts, 4 international singles squash courts, and new platform paddle courts, supplemented by 8 outdoor courts at Greens Farms Academy via partnership for summer tennis camps.

The business operates on a hybrid recurring plus usage-based revenue model. Monthly memberships (Student $99, Adult $149, Family $259) anchor recurring revenue and unlock multi-sport access, priority booking, and lesson discounts. A usage-based layer sits on top: hourly court rentals, tiered private and semi-private lessons (Professional, Director, Senior Director pricing tiers), and junior development pathways that follow USTA/ITF scaled methods from Discovery and Red Ball through Yellow Ball and High Performance. Multi-week season courts (tennis 36 weeks, pickleball 31 weeks, paddle Oct-Mar) function as a second recurring layer with deposits of $200-$500, and seasonal summer camps (Bronze/Silver/Gold squash, Yellow/Orange/Green/Red Ball tennis, multi-sport) generate concentrated summer revenue. Pricing for non-members carries a meaningful premium over member rates across all services.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer at the physical facility, supported by a modest digital presence (website, Facebook, Instagram, Constant Contact email newsletter) and the CourtReserve online booking app. Distribution is augmented by channel partnerships with Greens Farms Academy (outdoor courts for summer camps), Brooklawn Country Club (overflow paddle leagues), USTA (ladies league programs and competitive pathways), US Squash (junior tournament access), and Staples High School (embedded coaching). Technology is off-the-shelf SaaS — CourtReserve, Clublocker, Constant Contact — with no proprietary AI/ML or app; the company's competitive basis is its coaching roster, multi-sport facility density, and regional brand rather than technology.
