Clemson, SC 14 Apartments for Rent with Gyms

There are two prevailing schools of thought about Clemson: it's a very small town that offers those who live there little to do or it's a great home base for outdoor recreational opportunities that abound in the region. Indeed, Clemson is small. By the 2010 Census, the town's population was just less than 14,000. But that doesn't mean this town doesn't have a lot to offer, because it does -- really. It has gorgeous scenery, it's peaceful and it is close to areas that have a lot of activities. Clemson is bounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains on the north and Lake Hartwell on the west. To the east are Greenville and Anderson, larger towns which offer more varied shopping and dining opportunities. Two hours via Interstate 85 is metropolitan Atlanta with all the big-city delights you could want. In the foothills, you'll find plenty of places to explore waterfalls, hike, backpack or camp. A bit further north, there's snow skiing and tubing at various ski resorts. View Clemson City Guide

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