    I went to Pickle to kill some time and check the space out. To start, they have parking. I expect it fills up at peak times, based on when I left. But there was plenty when I arrived. I was greeted when I walked in, then I went and parked myself. They left me to myself for the next 1.5 hours. I got to people watch, including a class. I checked out the menu. I listened to some hip hop. I got to catch the vibe. It's relaxed. The space is well appointed. The staff and other patrons seem chill. My only quibble is it was a bit chilly because they keep the huge roll-up door on one side of the courts open. I will definitely go back to try a clas or maybe use the sauna. I didn't explore the lockeroom, but I bet it's nice. Pickle is woman owned and LGBTQ friendly. It's also community oriented. They donated to the auction at my friend's kid's elementary school, even though they are less than a year old. Highly recommended. They are a 4.5 out of 5 and trending up. Will reevaluate after I take a class.

    Came here with a group of friends early morning!! Glad they turned this place from an old dealership to something unique! They have 3 courts plus 1 court that is part of the private party space which is dope! There is a healthy food and drink bar with lots options. Ashley helped us out and was very very helpful and nice! Thank you for great service We had reserved in advance! Played and enjoyed the time

    We had to make it to the grand opening for Pickle Athletics after waiting months for it to open. We played on a Sunday and the queues weren't long thankfully. The interior is gorgeous and modern with a vibrant green. They have quite a bit of seating, an infrared sauna and a small gym with top tier exercise equipment. They have a wide selection of drinks, snacks and food while you pickle too ~

    Shuffleboard with our kids!

    See all

    One of the nicest indoor pickleball facilities I've been to -- and I don't say that lightly.

Highly recommend their demo program if you're unsure of what type of raquet you want, they have all the best new ones to try out. Can't give them high enough praise for helping us choose new raquets and doing a great, fast restringing job. Feels like you're friendly neighborhood spot where we always love shooting the breeze with the guys about the love of tennis!

I recently did the racket demo program. It is awesome, you get 30 days to try as many rackets as you'd like, 3 at a time, for $40. The $40 is like a down payment toward the racket you eventually end up choosing! Bryce helped me out the first time I came in - gave me all the basics in a very friendly and approachable way! I swapped rackets many times lol and it was always pretty quick and easy. Anytime I needed a recommendation, I felt like I could trust what they were telling me from their own tennis experience! I ended up getting a Head Gravity racket with pretty blue, Mach 10 strings to match lol - I couldn't be more pleased with my choice! The price match they offer can also be handy - even though they ended up having the cheapest prices in store when I went, it's good to keep in mind if you happen to see a cheaper price online, they'll honor it, according to their policy! Tennis can be expensive haha so just keep this policy in mind! They're a small shop but I feel good supporting local! Sometimes they might not have what you're looking for, but they're happy to get it from their other location/order it for you and they're always really good about calling you when your item or racket is ready! For example, they had to get my racket and some racket head protection tape from their other store, on different occasions. They called me each time when it was ready. For your fellow tennis lovers, keep this place in mind - they have gift cards! I actually got a gift card for my birthday lol that I used towards my new racket. I also bought tennis balls here as part of my tennis friend's birthday gift - recommended by Bryce - and they ended up being great balls! Dunlop Grand Prix! I will always appreciate the help, knowledge/recs, and friendly service from Courtside - come support them if you need anything for tennis!

    Update the review -At list they're honest enough to refund me the money they over charged…read more I wish they didn't make me feel so bad and make me feel like I did something wrong. I feel like their behavior is dishonest misleading and indicating a lack of integrity. The first time I join for one month trial they had a new year promotion so I join Jan 06 and immediately they charge me extra , after calling the front desk few times , they said the promotion was over yesterday (they forgot to mention it when I signed in ) , I talked with Luz (one of the managers )and she agreed to return the extra fees and I asked to cancel the membership at the spot . I didn't see the refund and after calling again , they said it's a credit for next month , I said again , I don't want to be here another month , please cancel my membership, they said yes and now they charge me again . I needed to send them email just to confirm the call and they still charge me again I spend so many hour talking with them about the issue and then like nothing happens. I was there 3 times and for charge over $300 already . Such a rip off If u decide to join them , take a lawyer with u because they will nail you with secret charges all over the place . Very disappointing

    Pulled up to The Hub Sports Club in Alameda and honestly... this place is solid…read more Came through with my guy Nate to check it out, get some runs in, and shoot a little content. Right away you can tell this place is well run. The energy is welcoming, the staff actually cares, and the community vibe is real -- competitive but still friendly. Pickleball-wise, it's stacked. 8 indoor courts that are clean, permanent, and play great, plus 7 outdoor courts if you want fresh air. Runs are organized, people know how to play, and they're always hosting tournaments and competitive events, which I really appreciate as someone who plays a lot. Outside of pickleball, the gym setup is legit. Full cardio and strength equipment, unlimited group classes like yoga, barre, and more. Locker rooms are clean, with showers, sauna, and steam room -- clutch after long sessions. Pro shop is fully stocked and the staff is always down to help with gear or questions without being pushy. Small thing but funny -- they even added a ping pong table, which kinda says everything about the vibe here. Functional, fun, and community-first. If you're in the Bay and serious about pickleball, fitness, or just want a spot that's run right with good people, The Hub Alameda is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

    So, I was like Pickleball !?! What the heck is Pickleball? Well I knew I must find out…read more Albany I would say is a pretty far drive from where I am in Oakland considering the traffic on 80 (pretty much all the time) but for a Tuesday night during commute hours it wasn't half bad and was definitely worth the trip. So a note about the location, the tennis courts are located back behind the baseball field. The baseball field you can see from the street, the tennis courts you can not. So if you're heading off the freeway on Buchanan the parking lot entrance is right after the Dept of Agriculture driveway. Being that it is a bit hidden I ended up getting stuck behind the place in a large housing complex with a ton of stop signs and had to end up driving all the way back to Gilman in order to circle the block. Back to Pickleball - So I would describe Pickleball as sort of a human size ping-ball game. You have pretty much the same looking paddles only bigger (larger than badminton but smaller than tennis rackets). You play with a wiffle ball, which makes the game interesting when a gust of wind brings your ball to a screeching halt or makes it completely change directions. It's also not as difficult to hit, well strength wise, as a tennis ball so my arm didn't get as tired as when I play tennis (not that I ever play tennis). The game is pretty easy to pick up, some simple serving rules, some directions on the order of who serves (which took me a little extra time to figure out) and of course you have to keep the ball in the lines on the court. Overall real simple to learn and loads of fun. Everyone there was really welcoming and fun to play against. I don't know what it will be like next week but most of the people who showed up were new to the game. I will be back next week and will keep an eye out at the thrifts/sporting good stores to see if I can pick myself my very own official Pickleball racket. They are there every Tuesday (except when it rains) from 6 - dusk (7:30?) $5 Drop-in Fee for Adults, $3 for seniors, $2 paddle rental

    Pickleball? The ball is a fortified whiffle ball. Racquets-paddles: are like racketball,but solid…read moreguts like ping pong. Court is bout the dimensions of singles tennis with baseline about where the end of the service line is. Rules too complicated to lay out here. But if you have ever picked up a badminton, tennis, squash, ping pong racquets and are half way coordinated, this is a fun game for all ages, levels of endurance, and skills. Even if you never played before, which is me, you will pick it up quick and the regulars who come out are so sweet and helpful. I like the outdoor venue, yet to try inside. After an hour if you try you can break a nice little sweat. Bill the instructor supper helpful. All you need is $7 bucks a head To rent a paddle, several to choose from and plenty of pick up games. When it's really busy Bill assembles two additional courts behind the baselines of the two tennis courts so you have 4 games of doubles at once. Just remember to keep you pickle out of the kitchen... you will have to play to understand that one.

I didn't realize that they moved to the Church Of 8 Wheels. Great business idea of the reuse of space but I felt like I was catfished. I booked reservations online they were $25 per person, in person it was $20... Its normally really windy and cold in SF and it felt nice being able to pickle indoors. Air circulation was not the best though. Improvement Opportunities for the Business: 1. Pickle Ball Lines & Roller Skating Lines were both white. The further courts had multiple white lines. It could be confusing at first. 2. Paddling Queue System was in the middle between courts. It was a distraction for me when I was playing because people were walking between courts to place down their paddles. 3. Dead spots on the ground... There were some dead spots on the ground because of all the rollerblading streaks. Also the ground was a bit slippery.

But the best part was the instructors and coaches that work there. I came for open play and was able to partner with a couple coaches who pointed out some areas and gave me direction for what I should work on. It was lots of fun and everyone of all levels and ages felt welcomed. I will definitely be back.
