Membership & Pricing
Padel Gentle sits at the junction of the RN 113 and Route de la Garenne on the rural edge of Salon-de-Provence, pitched as padel accessible to everyone. Three outdoor courts are set in a countryside setting away from the town centre, between Aix-en-Provence, Marseille and Istres. Entry is through FIT STUDIO by Sportclub, the on-site fitness partner, which provides changing rooms, showers and reception services. The club promotes a friendly, low-key atmosphere for groups of friends rather than a large competition hub, with online booking through a dedicated web app you can pin to your phone home screen. Rackets and balls are offered free at reception according to the club website.
Facilities
Pay-as-you-play pricing with no complex tier list on the website. A single 90-minute session costs 11 euros, a ten-session pack costs 100 euros. Monthly membership is 35 euros with unlimited play between 9am and 5pm plus one session per day after 5pm. Annual membership is 350 euros on the same terms. Tickets are bought through the online booking platform with secure card payment. Call 07 78 43 59 43 for subscription questions.

Indeed, there's often space, like in a restaurant that only serves frozen food that's still frozen! The welcome is disdainful, rude, and dishonest. "There are no more balls, but it's not our fault, we're just renting them out for the manager." So we start looking for balls around the courts to be able to play!! It's like being in a restaurant where you're expected to cook your own meal. Keep walking and go to the complex, taking the time to book in advance. Now those are professionals. Goodbye.
I'm surprised by the negative review, but I don't doubt it. For our part, we received a fantastic welcome and were very friendly. The person took the time to explain the game to us (yes, we're beginners), and since there was no one after us, we played for over two hours. It's a sport that makes you want to come back, and the welcome has encouraged us to return as well. It just goes to show that everyone will form their own opinion. So, thank you.
If you're still wondering why there's never anyone there... three words: unpleasant, unprofessional, bitter. "It's time," the result? You pick up your balls and belongings in the pitch dark because they don't even bother to let you know they're turning off the spotlights. As for the reception... haughty, bordering on insolent responses, "I'm not the one in charge here," which apparently justifies treating "customers" this way. Move on; luckily, there are plenty of courts elsewhere.
I highly recommend Gentle Padel. The courts are brand new, the playing surface is excellent, and there's easy access and parking. Access via the adjoining gym is convenient and allows you to use the changing rooms and showers (a real plus).
