Apartments with Fitness centers rank near the top when it comes to complexes that have the amenities renters are looking for, and these gyms come quite a long way. Gone are the days of a small room with one elliptical, a treadmill and a single free-weight rack. As technology has continued to advance, fitness centers have grown to offer unique features sure to entice renters.
We'll highlight seven standout features worth considering when apartment hunting. Some of these apartment fitness centers might surprise you!

Apartments are stepping up when it comes to utilizing outdoor space. As an extension of a common indoor gym area, certain communities, like Sharon Green in Menlo Park, CA, are expanding their gym to have outdoor equipment.
This amenity offers renters an option for working out outside, especially if the weather is nice. Since standard equipment can only withstand indoor weather conditions, outdoor workout areas feature unique equipment like punching bags.
2. Spas

Going to your apartment gym can be intimidating. Walking into a room with a range of equipment, you may be unsure where to start. Apartments, like Millennium Metro West in Orlando, are offering virtual workout classes which serve as a great option for renters who know of a certain class they like virtually attending or renters who aren't sure how to start their fitness journey.
6. Fitness trails

If you prefer to work out outdoors, look for apartments that have access to trails. Depending on location, apartments are able to extend their fitness offering to an outdoor trail. This is perfect for renters with pets who like to walk with friends or want to take advantage of good weather while working out.
North and Line has direct access to the Beltline, a famous walking train in Atlanta, GA. This offers renters at this high-end complex the chance to explore Atlanta while getting a workout in.
7. Indoor pools

Swimming is a great form of exercise, making it a unique fitness center feature. Many apartments have outdoor pools, but indoor pools serve as an option for people to work out beyond stationary workout equipment.
Indoor pools, like the one pictured at 73 East Lake in Chicago, offer dual relaxation and activity for residents looking for a lower-impact type of fitness activity. Not to mention the great view while swimming.
Working out doesn't look the same for everyone
Standard gym equipment is likely to be found at almost every apartment fitness center. What separates apartment gyms from one another is their innovation outside the equipment we see every day.
Whether that be the climbing wall in Colorado or the outside gym area in California, there is something for everyone despite where you may be in your fitness journey. Explore apartments with fitness centers and find your dream gym (with all the extras) here.
