Some of the best things about living in a modern apartment community are the amenities–especially here at Fairfield Residential, where we try to provide residents with the amenities that make their lives easier. This includes everything from an in-house washer and dryer to lounges & game rooms. One top amenity that will save our residents some cash every month is a top-of-the-line fitness center.

We know how expensive some fitness centers and workout studios can be, some costing upwards of $150/month. But why spend that money (not to mention the time to commute) when you can get everything you need to work out at home. These days, new apartment communities are providing everything from yoga studios to TRX, and even access to a lap pool!

If you’re on the fence about whether to splurge on a gym membership, take a look at the best workouts you can do right at your apartment community before you commit!

Best Workouts to do at Your Apartment Community

Yoga – Our newer apartment communities provide yoga rooms for our residents to do stretching and yoga at their own pace. Yoga is an amazing way to build strength and flexibility. If you’re new to yoga, but don’t want to pay for the high price of a monthly membership, we suggest trying out Yoga Glo to follow online classes.
