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.

You're in luck! In-Shape is one of the few gym chains in the country that have pickleball courts. That's a rare treat: the majority of gyms out there do not offer it. We're also extremely impressed with In-Shape's offering of the sport. Keep reading on....

Nearly 25% of In-Shape gyms have pickleball, which is exactly 11 of their total 45 gyms. In fact, across those 11 gyms, In-Shape says you can get your game on one of their 70+ courts—wow! Folks in central California must be delighted: there is probably an In-Shape club with pickleball nearby. 

Sure is—for members, of course. The pickleball offering is strong at this gym chain, featuring:

• Open play (walk on and play with friends, other gym members, etc)
• Socials - events where they host competitions, share tips and practice, and of course open play
• RQT Clinics - where you team up with trainers who teach classes covering pickleball strategy, control, shot selection and more. There are two clinics covering intermediate and advanced tactics. RQT (racquetball/pickleball/tennis) clinics are only included in the Elevate Package.
• Tournaments - see below

​

There are a few year-round tournaments held at multiple clubs throughout California. 

• Summer Slam, hosted at multiple clubs in August
• 3rd Annual Wine Country Classic at their Fairfeld club, September 2023
• Annual Fight Cancer Tournament at their Stockton West location, October 2023. 

We love how some of them support special causes, raising proceeds for different charities. 

• For open play: 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!
• For tournaments: expect to bring your own, of course. Nothing beats the familiarity (weight, grip, shape/size) of your own paddle.

In-Shape is one of the best gyms in the country to offer pickleball. Not only do multiple locations (11 gyms) feature play, you also have your choice from 70+ different courts. 

Their additional offerings (socials, clinics, tournaments and more) take them over the top. True pickleball addicts (and casual players/beginners!) will appreciate the varied options for play.

We see 59 pickleball courts at gyms, as of January 2024. Check out the exact list, exclusively here at gymscompared.com.
