Equipment Trends for Gainesville Apartment Fitness Centers

The city of Gainesville is home to a multitude of fitness and personal training options, like Swamp Fitness, and local apartment communities are following suit as they focus amenity offerings on state-of-the-art on-site fitness centers that rival any big box gym. According to Niche.com, Gainesville, Florida, is considered one of the healthiest cities in America, and apartment communities that partner with us at SwampRentals.com are showcasing incredible onsite gyms that are helping members of our community reach their fitness goals only steps from home.

Nearly gone are the days an apartment fitness center consists of an outdated treadmill, stationary bike, mismatched free-weights, and a half-inflated exercise ball. Nowadays, many apartment gyms in our community are well equipped enough to meet every fitness need in creative and innovative ways. These apartments have installed brand new equipment, tools you’d find in cutting edge classes and facilities, and plenty of space to train with personal training professionals like the experts at Swamp Fitness!

Below, we’ve put together a short list of features and equipment you will find at apartment gyms in Gainesville:

Cardio Suites

Cardiovascular fitness is an important component of many fitness programs. From improving heart and lung health, to weight loss and stress relief, access to options to elevate your heart rate are still popular and include treadmills, spin bikes, ellipticals, and more! But the options available in your on-site gym now are more fun and modern. Residents will find state-of-the-art cardio suites in many apartment communities with pleasing views, space so you don’t feel crowded, and working machines that accurately track heart rate, cadence, resistance, and other metrics for a precise workout.

Functional Training Areas

An exciting feature prominent in on-site fitness centers at Gainesville apartments are spacious areas that feature tools and equipment you’d find in training studios or CrossFit gyms. Think plyometric boxes, TRX suspension systems, battle ropes, and kettlebells. For residents looking to avoid the monotony of endless repetitions with weights or mile after mile on a treadmill, you’ll have complete access to incredible tools to keep you progressing towards your fitness goals and excited about working out.

Strength Training

We’re finding that apartment communities are really paying attention to the care and quality of the strength training equipment they offer at their on-site gym. The range of free weight resistance options offered serves the beginning through advanced exerciser and there is often bench space for several individuals to comfortably perform their routines. A range of dumbbells, barbells, and squat racks is now the norm. Larger fitness spaces also have brand new strength machines for those incorporating more isolated or controlled strength training movement into their programming.

Mind and Body

Another trend we are seeing in Gainesville apartment communities is a holistic focus on the resident. Their entire lifestyle matters and that includes providing tranquil spaces and opportunities for rest, relaxation, and stress relief. Often, that begins in the fitness center and communities are providing tools, and even spaces, like yoga rooms, mats, foam rollers, trigger point balls, and flexibility aids to help residents restore their mind and body.

These options are incredibly appealing and provide members of our Gainesville community who live, or are looking to live, in apartments access to fitness and wellness without an extra commute or extra cost. Nearly all of the apartment communities in Gainesville offer use of their on-site fitness center free of charge to residents as part of their amenity package!
