So, I was really in the mood to shoot some hoops the other day. But, it was raining cats and dogs outside. That meant my usual outdoor court was a no-go. I needed to find an indoor basketball gym, and fast. I grabbed my phone and started searching for “indoor basketball gyms near me”.
A bunch of results popped up, mostly local community centers and a few private gyms. I started digging into the community center options first because they’re usually cheaper. I looked at a few of their websites, but honestly, most of them were pretty outdated. Hard to tell when they were open for basketball or how much it cost.
- Checked the community center websites.
- Most websites were old and didn’t have updated information.
- Couldn’t find clear timings or prices.
Next, I decided to check out the private gyms. Their websites were way better. They had all the info I needed – schedules, pricing, and even some pictures of the courts. But man, some of them were pricey!
After comparing a few, I narrowed it down to two places that looked decent and were within my budget. I gave each of them a call to double-check their availability and make sure I understood their rules.
Making the Calls
The first gym I called was super friendly. The person on the phone answered all my questions and even told me about a discount they were running. Score!
The second place, not so much. The person sounded like they didn’t want to be bothered. I still got the info I needed, but the vibe was off.
So, based on the phone calls and the information I gathered online, I made my choice. I went with the first gym. Friendly staff, good price, and it looked like a solid place to play.
I headed over there, paid the fee, and finally got to play some basketball. It was a good workout, and the court was in great shape. All in all, it was a win. I found a new spot to play indoors, even when the weather’s not cooperating.
Next time you are looking for an indoor gym to play basketball, just do what I did, it works well.
