Pascagoula, MS

8 Apartments for Rent with Gyms

Pascagoula's roots as a small fishing town in South Mississippi are still obvious. It hosts an annual Kids Fishing Rodeo, and a former Congressman and native son's nickname was William "Fishbait" Miller. However, the city has continued to develop, with World War II marking its shift into an industry-driven town. Local lore of the Pascagoula tribe, famous natives such as Jimmy Buffet and a supposed 1973 alien abduction underline the color and characters to be found in the small town that answers to the nickname "Mississippi's Flagship City." Even as the shipbuilding industry created growth and marked the town as more than a fishing hole, its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and nearby beach towns keep its water sports, fishing and arts scene more in line with the peaceful Southern town that the moss-draped oaks and antebellum architecture indicate.

Apartment complexes with a gym offer a valuable amenity to Pascagoula 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.
