Why Play Squash?
The World's Healthiest Sport
Squash delivers one of the most complete workouts you can find indoors.
It combines constant movement, quick sprints, and dynamic strength training into a single, efficient session. A 45-minute game can burn 600 to 1,000 calories while improving endurance, balance, and coordination. That’s why experts consistently rank squash among the best sports in the world for overall fitness.
