Already one of South Jersey’s largest fitness gyms, Four Seasons Fitness in Glassboro just opened a 25,000 square foot expansion that will add six indoor pickleball courts and a large indoor grass field.
This is in addition to the recent construction of a brand new large indoor spin room with state-of-the-art sound, lighting and presentation systems.
Four Seasons Fitness Glassboro – Pickleball
Together, the entire Four Seasons complex offers 85,000 square feet of premier fitness equipment and facilities.
I stopped by this week and received a complete tour of the pickleball courts and gym facilities from co-owner Chris Miller. Chris’ partner at Four Season Fitness is Cathe Friedrich, her world-famous fitness video trainer.

The entire Four Seasons facility is very impressive, everything is high quality and large, from the large, open main training room area with a mezzanine track on the second floor, to the multiple dedicated fitness training rooms and spin rooms, to the pickleball and a grass field ranging from a massive addition to the spin room for pickleball!
All our equipment is of the highest quality, including 47 pieces of Italian gym equipment Panatta.
The facility also features a stunning private large behind-the-scenes studio where Casey shoots all of his widely acclaimed workout videos in the fitness industry. Her fitness, her training, her skill and innovation in this field earned her induction into the National Fitness Hall of Fame in 2011.
There’s a reason Four Seasons Fitness Complex uses HugeGym.com as its website.
For those unfamiliar with “pickleball,” it is the fastest growing sport in America. It seems most similar to tennis (although the courts are smaller). Table tennis and badminton are also included. It’s a sport you can play at any speed you want, and the smaller courts support people of all fitness levels. Earlier this year, I wrote an article and filmed a video exclusively about pickleball.
Four Seasons Fitness Glassboro – New Spin Room
Four Seasons Pickleball Glassboro
The new Four Seasons Pickleball space is located just to the right of the main gym, which takes over a large unit that was previously home to Big Lots (Big Lots moved to the Collegetown Shopping Center).
Because the Four Seasons building is so deep, they were able to design a space that could support six pickleball courts, with two on the side and three on the back. This new space also includes a large separate room on the left (adjacent to the gym) that will house the new indoor turf track.
The pickleball space is bright and well-lit. This is of course important for tracking the speed of the ball.
I just want to say at this point…when I stopped by, there was a visiting pickleball club and the group had some very impressive players who were hitting the ball at speeds I’ve never seen before. I was there.
Therefore, ensuring proper lighting is important for quality gameplay. This is something to consider as the sun sets very early on outdoor courts for the winter.
Each court is separated by a small fence to keep the ball within the court area.
And obviously a key aspect of the new court will be the design of the court surface itself.
The pickleball courts at Four Season Fitness feature Pro Cushion courts. The multi-layer design provides the perfect surface for proper ball bounce and reaction, while providing cushioning to minimize impact to the knees, ankles, hips and feet.
When you play at the Four Seasons, you may find that simply playing on a properly maintained court can extend your playing time and reduce fatigue.
To manage your on-court playing time, the Four Seasons team developed a smartphone app that allows you to schedule court time and pair up with other players. It’s not every day that you have four friends ready to play pickleball at the same time, but with court matching technology, you’re sure to make new friends.
Four Seasons Fitness also offers introductory classes for those new to pickleball. Check online or check with local staff for schedules.
Four Seasons Turf Field Glassboro
The all-new Four Seasons Fitness Turf Field is 130 feet long and marked like a soccer field. This is one of the largest indoor turf gyms and turf fields in the area.
This space has plenty of room for a variety of activities including sled pushes, kettlebells, dumbbells, weight plates, plyometric boxes, medicine balls, weight bags, gym balls, foam rollers, cones, hurdles, ladders, cardio equipment, TRX, etc. There is. State-of-the-art racks and rigs for a wide range of exercises and activities!
Inside this space, we added eight more squat racks (14 total) with underground platforms built into the floor. This allows you to easily move other equipment into the area without having to worry about getting off a high platform.
The grass field itself contains no permanent chemicals and no harmful toxins.
Four Seasons Fitness – Classes
Lastly…this gym offers a variety of classes including Cycle Zone, Body Pump, Yoga, Zumba, and more. There are probably three dozen different classes.
We also offer karate in partnership with Master John Austin Jr. This is an additional charge.
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, Four Seasons Fitness has multiple workout rooms of varying sizes, giving you flexibility in scheduling your classes.
