Does YouFit Gyms have pickleball?
We know why you're here. Your newfound addiction of pickleball has you wanting to play all day and all night. But, you're not alone—pickleball is one of the most popular sports right now, an absolutely fun, addictive and healthy 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.
Very cool. So what about YouFit Gyms?
Yes, YouFit has 23 gyms that feature a pickleball court. In fact, YouFit is one of the leading gym chains in the country to host pickleball players and tournaments. According to their blog post in September of 2022, they launched pickleball at 28 different gyms. (As of August 2023, we only see 23).
Tell me more!
Pickleball is first-come-first serve at these locations (no reservations!), and Premium+ and Premium members can play for free—it's included in your monthly membership fee. You'll also need to be at least 13 years of age to play.
What if you have just a basic membership at YouFit? You'll need to upgrade in order to play on these courts.
Are there pickleball tournaments at YouFit?
Yes, absolutely. Pickleball enthusiasts should be delighted to hear that they can participate in tournaments at YouFit Gyms. Here's where it gets a bit hazy though:
- On their tournaments page, it shows September 17th and 18th—of 2022. We tried to register at two locations (Pompano and Sunrise), but the dates were tied to last year.
- We don't see any other dates listed, but read on:
When YouFit launched pickleball at their 28 clubs in September of 2022, they also partnered with Break The Love, a booking system that helps players find matches (at locations in or out of YouFit Gyms). So, through their online system, you'll be able to find and reserve a match in an easy and simple way.
While we didn't see any current 2023 tournaments (through Break The Love) at YouFit, there is a wealth of information on both sites to help you plan your next game.
What about paddles and balls?
We're looking into it. Some other chains happily provide equipment (usually at the front desk), but we didn't see any mention of it at YouFit. All good: book your game and bring your own gear.
Wrapping it up
YouFit is one of the best gyms in the country to offer pickleball. We love their online booking system (via Break The Love), as well as the vast amount of clubs (23) that host games. Gym + Pickleball is a win-win in our book. Did we just help you find your new fitness home?
