Pike Road is home of Alabama's first combat pilot-training airfield.
Just outside the city of Montgomery, a new community is emerging. Pike Road, Alabama is reinventing the American hometown by blending timeless traditions with modern conveniences. Share iced tea with neighbors on the front porch or share photos of local events through the town square's Wi-Fi--welcome to Southern hospitality 2.0.
Pike Road is an up-and-coming area in high demand and on the fast track to keep up with that demand. Beginning in the 19th century as a small municipality on the outskirts of Alabama's capital city, the Town of Pike Road incorporated in 1997 to provide a refreshing alternative to random suburban sprawl. The town's planning commission has embraced and enforced "smart growth"--an effort to create communities equally desirable to residents and businesses while preserving green spaces and improving area walkability--a rarity in most rural settings. The recent construction boom in Pike Road gives it that new town smell. See more
Apartment complexes with a gym offer a valuable amenity to Pike Road 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.
