Just in time for March Madness comes the news that PickUp USA Fitness, a basketball-oriented gym, will open in April 2017 in Chandler, AZ.

PickUp USA Owner Jay Bhakta said, “The interest we have been receiving from the Chandler community and the surrounding areas of Gilbert, Tempe, and Mesa has been overwhelming. People are genuinely excited and can’t wait to hit the courts.”

The gym will offer officiated pickup basketball games, group/private basketball training (ages 5 and up, basketball court rentals and weight/cardio rooms, but the gym’s main attraction is the organized pickup basketball games.

All games are timed, scored, and officiated by trained referees. The staff handles the organization, and members can drop into the rotation of 10-minute games that run back to back.

Members will also be able to participate in daily group trainings, which are hour-long basketball boot camps that focus on passing, shooting, defensive fundamentals, endurance and agility. “Our basketball group sessions are no joke, and will get anyone into tip-top basketball game shape,” said Bhakta.
