Does Chuze Fitness have pickleball?
Let me guess: your newfound addiction of pickleball has you wanting to play every day and every night. You're not alone—pickleball is one of the most popular sports right now, an absolutely fun and addictive game for folks of all ages.
Here at gymscompared.com, players are always asking us if a certain gym has a court. And it does make complete sense. Wouldn't it be great if your pickleball matches were at the same location as your daily workout?
Yes, more and more gyms across the country are starting to add pickleball as an amenity—and you're in luck, we've got the full list.
Ok. So what about Chuze Fitness?
Yes, they do have pickleball—kind of. They have a total of 60 different locations spanning both California and Florida... and only a single gym has a pickleball court.
Excuse me, what? Just one Chuze location?
Yep. We visited every Chuze Fitness gym webpage to confirm—pickleball isn't available at 59 of their 60 gyms.
In fact, the only gym (as of January 2024) that lists pickleball is their Albuquerque, New Mexico location.
That club is also in presale—meaning it's not yet open to the public. It's actually the first time they're rolling out a court to the public.
Why don't all of their locations have pickleball?
We're not quite sure, Chuze is actually at the top of our list of gyms that have an insane amount of amenities. Yes, they pack their clubs with all the goodies... which leads us to:
Our hunch that Chuze will begin to introduce more pickleball courts to more of their locations.
Pickleball players be like "tell me more!"
Here's why we think they're expanding this amenity:
- Chuze's first club to offer pickleball is a brand new location, a perfect test for them to measure interest and usage
- Allows them to understand what total costs and resources are needed to make this amenity work
- Lets them figure out how to manage schedules, tournaments (if any), equipment and staffing
We know they have the infrastructure and desire:
- Chuze generally has larger, more spacious clubs (30,000 square feet and up)—plenty of room for new services
- 7 of their locations have basketball courts (where pickleball games are often played) that can be shared for different sports
- They know they already offer amazing value to their customers. With pickleball popularity rising, wise for them to take advantage.
- An already existing amenity page here that will talk about the sport, and which of their locations carry it.
Is Pickleball free at Chuze?
Should be. Being that the only club to offer it hasn't opened yet, we can't quite confirm. Other gym chains who do offer pickleball don't charge.
What about paddles and balls?
We're looking into it. Some other chains happily provide equipment (usually at the front desk), but we don't quite have that information yet. Check back soon!
Are there pickleball tournaments at Chuze?
Not that we have seen. Again, only a single location has a court, so we wouldn't count on a large tournament. Smaller, day-or-week long competitions are possible though. We're betting on this first pickleball location to generally just host free-play pickup games.
