PickUp USA Fitness Irwindale - Irwindale, California

Kevin Roy

It's a good spot if you're a bit serious about basketball. Officiated games all week are good. Refs ain't the best but it's better than nothing. Also has a little workout area with the essentials. Had a shooting machine but not anymore which is a bummer. Unfortunately they only have 2 locations. One in Irwindale and another in San Bernardino. It would be beneficial to all if they could open another gym somewhere closer to DTLA. Would recommend if you're trying to improve and have some sure runs. Although since there's only one court when there's a lot of people you might wait a while so don't lose. Also, ask for Fernando and tell him Kevin Roy sent you! He's a real one.

I'm a long time member along with both my daughters. We have been with Pickup since business was slow during COVID and have been loyal members despite the ongoing policy changes and price hikes due to inflation. We love the private training coaches and facility is great.

But something needs to be said about their most recent change. It's been obvious they have shifted their focus less on player development and stronger emphasis on increasing their membership numbers. In the last year, they have sold their shooting machine, implemented new protocols for parents who are spectators and most annoying is another increase in their private training packages and costs wi the very little notice. Additionally they have no incentive for long time members locked into historical pricing or any type of referral bonus. Love the coaches, hate the management.

*Update*
Thanks for your speedy response Jordan. The price increase across the board is not reflected upon the coaches’ hourly pay. I am not sure where all that money is going. But I do see a lot of the management driving nicer cars…

Nothing but love from the PICKUP Crew. Every basketball call won't go your way and the competition can be tough, but you can believe that everyone just wants to win and get a good run in. The training and kids' programs that they have, sets a great example for professionalism and hard work. The facility is always clean and well organized and not appreciated enough by the members, but I definitely notice and definitely appreciate it. Even the guy the restocks the vending machines on Sundays is friendly. The management there makes sure that everything runs smoothly and treats everyone with respect. There's only one thing that I'd address and that would be the court rentals. If there was a weekly schedule to show when the court was rented or when training was scheduled, it would help me out. Only because I'd know what I'd have access to.
Overall though, I wish i could give it 10 stars.
A++++

I bought a private trainer package in 2021 and it was all going good. The trainer told me to show up on time for the training but he would sometimes show up 1 hour late.
Also another thing I had 2 sessions left in my package and I didn't use them because the manager said that I didnt use them on the time frame required and that didn't make any sense.
So pretty much they stole 2 sessions away from me. Also a trainer took out 1 session because I didn't show up on time. And keep in mind I had to wait for the trainer to arrive 1 hr. or 1:30 min. Late.
Some trainers were good just the part that I could finish my whole package really got me mad.
I wish I could get that money back.

Pickup USA, what a letdown. This gym is like a relic from the past, completely out of sync with its community. The service is abysmal, the pickup games are a joke, and don't even get me started on their complete lack of awareness of their members' needs.

There used to be a small group of us, about 12 to 15 members, who would gather faithfully on Saturday mornings for a friendly game from 8 am to 10 am. But guess what? Pickup USA decided to extend the officiated runs starting from 8 am, effectively kicking us to the curb without a second thought.

So, we adjusted, started playing on Friday nights from 6 pm to 8 pm when the courts were free. But lo and behold, they snatched that away too, replacing it with officiated runs for high schoolers. Way to prioritize, Pickup USA.

I tried to cancel my membership, but apparently, that's akin to climbing Mount Everest. They insist I come in to sign some cancellation form. Seriously? I work and live in Hollywood, I have a family to look after, and now I have to jump through hoops just to cancel a membership at a gym that doesn't give a damn about its members? No thanks. Consider me gone, Pickup USA.

It's ok refs could use a lil more engagement with calling fouls and keeping track of the pints correctly tho also when calling timeouts other that it's cool for adults and teens ?

Excellent trainers, training program, and weekly games. My child never played basketball until the very first time they opened their youth program back in spring 2022. A lot of fun. Indoor basketball court is perfect on summer hot days, raining days, and cold nights to keep on practicing.

PickUp USA has been a great find for me and the family. My son can get his practice in while the wife and I can work on our fitness as well. The gym is clean and the staff and coaches are super friendly. And, you can’t beat the officiated pick up games.
