When Hastings, Minnesota, was first discovered, there were a lot of high hopes that one day it would be a bustling metropolis -- early city planners even called it the "new Chicago" in the mid-1800s. Well, a financial crash called the Panic of 1857 brought those big-city dreams to a halt, but a lot of settlers stuck around and realized it was a great place to live in its own right.
The view of the Mississippi River is one of the spotlights of this town that 22,000 people call home. Hastings is renowned for its Victorian architecture and has a total 63 structures on the National Register of Historic Places. Built near the confluence of both the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers, the southern edge of town contains the Vermillion River and the beautiful Vermillion Falls. The town is located amid a great deal of natural beauty: bluffs along the Mississippi, a gorge below the falls, and even two bucolic lakes, Lake Rebecca and Lake Isabel. See more
Apartment complexes with a gym offer a valuable amenity to Hastings 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.
