Gardendale is proud that it is a small town, and it lets people "live the good life." If you think the good life consists of high-rise apartment buildings and an exciting nightlife, then move to Atlanta, Georgia. If you want to live in a city that calls itself a town, Gardendale is the place for you. Located 15 miles north of Birmingham, this city-town of 13,893 residents (per the 2010 U.S. Census) mostly brags about its local civic clubs and community spirit. Some might find that kind of uninspiring, while others will think it is paradise found. See more

Apartment complexes with a gym offer a valuable amenity to Gardendale renters looking to get fit and slash their gym membership. However, not all gyms are the same.

Make a list of your must-haves in a gym setting. Ask about the variety and age of any cardio machines. Also ask about any weight training equipment and free weights.

Consider the spaciousness of the workout area. Some apartment gyms are small. Those can create tension with tenants looking to squeeze in a workout before or after work.

If you enjoy circuit training, make sure there’s enough space to spread out and get in the workout you want.

Cleanliness is also crucial to an apartment gym experience. During your apartment tour, carefully inspect the fitness area to check for cleanliness and any extra perks. Also consider the potential savings if you can cancel a gym membership!

Towels, an attendant, flat-screen TVs, and a locked door for exclusive tenants access can all add value to your apartment gym experience.
