North Chicago, IL

43 Apartments for Rent with Gyms

North Chicago sounds like it would be the north side of the city of Chicago, but it’s actually a suburb so far north that it’s almost in Wisconsin. North Chicago is in Lake County, and it’s the home of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. Like other suburbs in the greater Chicagoland area, North Chicago still provides great access to the rest of the huge variety of big-city things the area has to offer. You’ll never have to get bored when you’re only 30 miles away from Chicago, or just as little as a few feet away from gorgeous Lake Michigan. See more

Apartment complexes with a gym offer a valuable amenity to North Chicago 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.
