Wharton, NJ 29 Apartments for Rent with Gyms

Wharton Borough prides itself on diversity as well, in terms of its places to visit, things to do, and its population of more than 6,500 residents. Like many of the neighboring communities, Wharton found its roots and growth in the Morris Canal and was the bedroom community for those who manned the mines, blast furnaces and mills. Formed in 1895 from the communities of Port Oram, Irondale, Luxemburg, Maryville, and Mount Pleasant, and taken from portions of Randolph and Rockaway Townships, the municipality was originally known as Port Oram. It was renamed Wharton in 1902 in honor of Joseph Wharton, one of Wharton's first prominent citizens, who was heavily involved with the area's mining industry. Today, Wharton still recognizes its mining heritage and contributions to the Morris Canal, while remaining a bedroom community for those who work in places as far away as Manhattan.

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