Train for Tennis Program Brings 15 New Peloton Classes

Matt Wilpers built the week-long plan with elite coach Paul Annacone to prep members for peak tennis performance.

Peloton has added a new Train for Tennis program to its on-demand library, giving members a structured week built around match-day performance. The program pairs longtime Peloton instructor Matt Wilpers with elite tennis coach Paul Annacone, aiming to help members maintain strength and mobility through pre-season and in-season play alike.

What’s Inside the Train for Tennis Program

The Train for Tennis program spans one week, with 15 classes members can take up to seven times, according to the program’s overview on the Peloton app. Class lengths range from 10 to 30 minutes, making the plan easy to fit around an already busy match schedule. Here is the full day-by-day breakdown of the Train for Tennis program:

• Day 1: 10-minute Mobility for Tennis
• Day 2: 30-minute Upper Body Strength for Tennis, 10-minute Upper Body Stretch for Tennis
• Day 3: 30-minute Endurance Run for Tennis, 10-minute Hip Stretch for Tennis
• Day 4: 10-minute Warm Up for Tennis, 20-minute HIIT Cardio for Tennis, 20-minute Lower Body Strength for Tennis
• Day 5: 10-minute Core Strength for Tennis, 10-minute Mobility for Tennis
• Day 6: 10-minute Warm Up for Tennis, 10-minute Post-Tennis Stretch
• Day 7: 10-minute Warm Up for Tennis, 10-minute Post-Tennis Stretch

The final two days repeat the same warm up and stretch pairing, giving members a consistent pre- and post-match routine to lean on once the structured training days are behind them. That day-by-day design is what makes the Train for Tennis program easy to fit around an actual match schedule rather than a rigid gym plan.

Matt Wilpers Built the Plan With Paul Annacone

Peloton’s official description for the program notes it was designed alongside Annacone, a coach who has worked with some of the sport’s top players. The description states the plan is meant to help members move faster, stronger, and stay healthy set after set, pairing Wilpers’ programming background with Annacone’s court-side expertise, both central to the Train for Tennis program design.

Annacone spent seven years coaching Pete Sampras and later worked with Tim Henman and Roger Federer, guiding all three to Grand Slam success, according to the ATP Tour’s official coaching bio. He currently coaches Taylor Fritz, one of the top-ranked American men on tour, and appears as a commentator on Tennis Channel. That resume puts real competitive pedigree behind the Train for Tennis program, not just a generic strength template with a tennis label attached.

Wilpers is a former Division I distance runner with more than a decade of coaching experience, and he has built a reputation on Peloton for structured training blocks that span running, cycling, and strength categories. That background carries over into the Train for Tennis program, which leans on the same short, purposeful session format members have come to expect from his other plans.

In the video announcing the program, Wilpers said the training targets the muscles and movement patterns tennis actually calls for, the control and stability behind swinging a racket, covering the court, and reacting shot to shot, rather than generic gym work borrowed from another sport.

Wilpers has applied a similar structure before, most notably in the one-week strength programming built into his marathon prep approach for runners. That earlier program also broke a single week into short, purposeful sessions rather than one long workout, a format that keeps the Train for Tennis program approachable for members balancing practice, matches, and everyday training.

The Train for Tennis program also arrives alongside Peloton’s newly announced partnership with the US Open.

For members who split time between the court and the Peloton app, the program offers a rare combination: a professionally validated approach paired with programming built to fit inside a real tennis schedule, without asking players to abandon their existing routine to make room for it. Full details, including the program class list, are available now in the Programs section of the Peloton app.
