Franklin Park, NJ

68 Apartments for Rent with Gyms

Originally called Six Mile Run, Franklin Park comprises a small area of Franklin Township in New Jersey, roughly two and a half square miles, and is in what is known as the Skylands Region of the state, at least as far as county lines and New Jersey tourism is concerned (yes, people actually want to go there. On purpose.). According to the 2010 census, there are over 13,000 people living there so it's fairly packed in. New Jersey, and specifically Franklin Township's relative proximity to New York City, one of the biggest and greatest cities in the world puts it at an almost instantaneous younger sibling-like disadvantage, but while shows like The Jersey Shore show some of the worst Jersey has to offer, and there is a faint, unpleasant odor from the state when you drive through it, there are beautiful areas that don't gain the same amount of positive attention and perhaps the denizens of New Jersey like it that way.

Apartment complexes with a gym offer a valuable amenity to Franklin Park 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.
