Does Gold's Gym have pickleball?
I know why you're here: 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 Gold's Gym?
Sorry! We don't see a single Gold's Gym location that offers pickleball. We're tracking their 223 gyms in the country, and not a single one says they offer pickleball.
We even asked their customer care chat, and they state the same: "Sorry about that. No pickleball at any of our locations"
Bummer. Why doesn't Golds Gym have pickleball?
To be honest, we're not quite sure. Here's how we see it:
- A good portion of Gold's Gyms locations offer basketball—meaning there is already a space that could be converted into pickleball. This is not a guarantee though: sometimes basketball areas are only half-courts—not quite big enough. Also their basketball areas may be much busier or in high demand. All we're saying is that there is potential for pickleball to be played here.
- Gold's Gym is also an amenity rich gym chain. They have full size gyms where many feature pools, saunas, towel service and more. We wouldn't be surprised if Pickleball were to be added at a couple locations in the future.
- The monthly membership cost supports more amenities. Unlike their cheaper competitors
