Chris’ partner in Four Season Fitness is the globally known fitness video trainer Cathe Friedrich.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4VqRil_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4VqRil_0vl1zIFq00" width="1159" height="652" ><figcaption>Four Seasons Fitness Glassboro – Turf Field (Image: Four Seasons)</figcaption></figure>The entire Four Seasons facility is very impressive where everything is high quality and big… from the large open main workout room area with 2nd floor mezzanine track, to the multiple dedicated fitness training rooms and the spin room… to the now large addition for pickleball and turf field!All of the equipment is premium quality such as the 47 pieces of Panatta Italian gym equipment<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2fCews_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2fCews_0vl1zIFq00" width="1200" height="900" ></figure>Within the facility is also an amazing behind-the-scenes private large studio where Cathe films all of her workout videos which are widely acclaimed in the fitness industry. Her fitness training skills and innovation in the field led to her being inducted into the National Fitness Hall of Fame in 2011!So there’s a reason why The Four Seasons Fitness complex uses HugeClub.com as their website!If you are unfamiliar with “pickleball” it is a the fastest growing sport in America. It seems most similar to tennis (but smaller court)… some ping-pong and badminton in the mix. It’s a sport that works at the speed you want it to, and the smaller court supports people of all levels of fitness. Earlier this year I wrote an article just on Pickleball.. and filmed a video!<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=48v0s1_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=48v0s1_0vl1zIFq00" width="1200" height="900" ><figcaption>Four Seasons Fitness Glassboro – New Spin Room</figcaption></figure><h2>Four Seasons Pickleball Glassboro</h2>For the new Four Seasons Pickleball space, it is located the immediate right of the main gym taking over a large unit which previously was home to Big Lots (Big Lots relocated to the Collegetown Shopping Center)<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0EzeKs_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0EzeKs_0vl1zIFq00" width="1200" height="900" ></figure>The Four Seasons building is very deep which has enabled them to design the space to support 6 full pickleball courts, configured two across and then going back 3 courts. This new space also includes the large separate room on the left (adjacent to the gym) which houses the new indoor turf track.Inside the pickleball space it is bright and well lit, which of course is important to follow the speed of the ball.Which I just want to say at this point… when I stopped in there was a pickleball club visiting and there were some very impressive players in the group who were hitting that ball at a rate of speed that I’ve never seen!<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1eRTPz_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1eRTPz_0vl1zIFq00" width="1200" height="900" ></figure>So yes having very good lighting is important to quality gameplay, which is something to consider as we head into the winter months and the sun sets very early on the outdoor courts.Each of the courts is separated by small fences to help keep the ball within your court area.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=16AEho_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=16AEho_0vl1zIFq00" width="1200" height="900" ></figure>And obviously a key aspect of the new courts would be the design of the court surface itself. Four Season Fitness Pickleball courts are using Pro-Cushion courts which in its multiple layer design provides a perfect surface for the proper ball bounce and response, while at the same time is cushioned to minimize impact on knees, ankles, hips and feet.Playing at Four Seasons you may find you can extend your play time and reduce fatigue just by playing on their properly developed court!<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3PQqsf_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3PQqsf_0vl1zIFq00" width="1200" height="900" ></figure>To manage the court play times, the Four Seasons team developed a smartphone app to scheduling a court time, as well as being able to pair you up with other players. It’s not every day that you’re going to have four friends all ready to go play pickleball at the same time, and with the court matching technology you’re bound to make new friends!Four Seasons Fitness is also offering introductory beginners classes for those new to Pickleball. Check online for schedules or check with onsite staff.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3gZ1t9_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3gZ1t9_0vl1zIFq00" width="1200" height="675" ></figure><h2>Four Seasons Turf Field Glassboro</h2>The all new Four Seasons Fitness Turf field is 130 feet long and is marked out like a football field. It is the largest indoor turf gym turf field in the area.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=26UB8l_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=26UB8l_0vl1zIFq00" width="1200" height="900" ></figure>The space offers ample room for various activities such as sled pushes, kettlebells, dumbbells, weight plates, plyometric boxes, medicine balls, weighted bags, gym balls, foam rollers, cones, hurdles, ladders, cardio equipment, and TRX, as well as state-of-the-art racks and rigs suitable for a wide array of exercises and activities!Within the space they also added eight more squat racks (14 total) that feature inground platforms built into the floor… So you don’t have to worry about stepping off of a raised platform and can easily move other pieces of equipment into the area.The turf field itself does not contain any forever chemicals and does not contain any harmful toxins<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2km7od_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2km7od_0vl1zIFq00" width="1200" height="900" ></figure><h2>Four Seasons Fitness – Classes</h2>I just wanted to close with.. the gym offers a variety of classes including Cycle Zone, Body Pump, Yoga, Zumba… there are likely THREE DOZEN different classes.They also offer Karate Do via a partnership with Master John Austino Jr. This is a separate fee.And as I mentioned in the beginning of the article, Four Seasons Fitness has MULTIPLE training rooms of a variety of sizes which gives them plenty of flexibility to schedule classes<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=33jkBC_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=33jkBC_0vl1zIFq00" width="1200" height="900" ></figure><h2>Links and Locations</h2>Four Season Fitness – Glassboro626 Delsea Dr NorthGlassboro, NJ 08028<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0DFMWy_0vl1zIFq00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0DFMWy_0vl1zIFq00" width="1200" height="900" ></figure></div></body>
