Stay Cool at the Pool With These Summer Must-Haves

Posted on June 14, 2017 by Editor

The hot days of summer are here at Arcadia Run and if you need us, we’ll be spending our days lounging by the resort-style pool! You really don’t need much to enjoy a day at the pool, but we’ve found some items for your pool bag that once you try, you won’t be able to live without for the rest of the summer. Check out some of our new favorite pool must-haves below!

Towel Clips

No need to worry about readjusting your towel every time you rotate to tan, or making sure it doesn’t fly away in the breeze. These towel clips will keep your towel in place, and come in a variety of fun shapes and sizes! At a great price, you can pick up a few pairs for yourself or neighbors who you love to hang by the pool with.

Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

Time to turn up the jams! Whether you’re listening to Lorde’s new album or botching the words to Despacito, these speakers will keep the fun going all summer long. Waterproof speakers are a must at the pool, and these will keep working whether a cannonball splashes them or a sudden thunderstorm rolls through.

Novelty Pool Floats

We donut hate these cute pool floats! Spend a hot day cooling off in the pool on one of these floats, available in shapes such as donuts, pineapples, or even a flamingo. Get the perfect summer Instagram picture of you and your friends on the swan float and you will be the envy of everyone at the pool.

Drink Tumbler

Glass isn’t allowed at the pool, so keep your drinks cold with a plastic or metal tumbler. If you know you are going to get a lot of use out of this tumbler, you can splurge on a Yeti insulated tumbler that will keep your drink cold all afternoon! If you’re looking for a deal, check out these tumblers on Amazon that come in every possible size and color. If there is no room in your pool bag for a tumbler, no worries! You can always grab some water at the Clubhouse, or take a few steps back to your apartment home.

Waterproof Phone Pouch

The pool is for you to go swimming, not your phone! Don’t be afraid to take your phone to pool with a waterproof pouch. They will keep your phone and any other electronics safe from the water, even if you accidentally drop them in the pool. Spending a few dollars on one of these bags is a much better alternative than replacing your phone altogether!

The best part about the pool at Arcadia Run is that you can bring whatever you want and you’re sure to have a great time! Learn more about Arcadia Run Apartments all we have to offer by visiting us online.

Making The Most of Your Time in the Fitness Center

Posted on September 28, 2016 by Editor

Last year we were excited to bring exclusive resident amenities to all of our amazing residents here at Arcadia Run, and love introducing new residents to them everyday. The Fitness Center is just one of the amenities that is located in our award-winning Clubhouse, and it is a resident favorite! If you haven’t yet experienced the Fitness Center, or would like to start your fitness journey, here are a few tips to make the most of your time in the Fitness Center!

Set goals for yourself: Figure out what is motivating you and set goals to accomplish so you can measure your success. It can be anything from weight loss to improving your mile time, or just keeping up regularly with workouts. If you’ve already had a consistent routine going for a while, you can still make small goals! When you complete a goal, take the time to reward yourself.

Make a few upbeat playlists: There is nothing like good music to really get your workout going. Make playlists with songs that pump you up and will keep you motivated through your entire workout.

Get a schedule down: Create a schedule to that will work best with everything else that is going on in your life, like school or work. As you continue to figure out what works best for you, adjust your schedule to fit into your busy lifestyle. Remember; don’t push yourself to work out every single day or for too long because it can lead injuries or exhaustion.

Attend a FREE fitness class: Here at Arcadia Run, we have weekly fitness classes with Power for Life Fitness that are free for our residents! These fitness classes are a great way to meet people who also enjoy working out and can help you reach your goals. Classes include Yoga every Monday, Cardio Sculpt every Wednesday, and Boot camp/Kickboxing every Friday. Stay up to date with the schedule on our Facebook page.

Mix up your routine: Because not every cardio machine or weight machine will work with your fitness goals, our Fitness Center offers many different machines to choose from. The cardio room is complete with bikes, treadmills, and ellipticals, while the weight room has a large variety of machines to work every part of your body. Adding a variety of activities to your workout plan will make it more fun!

Now that you have a plan, head on over to the Fitness Center to get started on your fitness journey! If you’re interested in renting a new apartment home so that you can take advantage of the exclusive resident amenities here at Arcadia Run, visit arcadiarun.com.

Tour the Award-Winning Clubhouse at Arcadia Run!

Posted on August 24, 2016 by No One

From the moment you begin to approach the Clubhouse at Arcadia Run, there is no question that inside is something amazing! The Clubhouse is where our residents get to enjoy community amenities, attend events, and hang out with other Arcadia Run residents. Let us walk you through our award-winning clubhouse in this photo tour below!

When you walk into the lobby of the Clubhouse it is similar to entering a grandiose hotel, with high ceilings and columns lining the entranceway. Directly to your right are the leasing offices of our amazing staff that work day in and day out to ensure our residents have the best experience while living here at Arcadia Run.

If you look to the left, you will see Arcadia Run’s movie theater, complete with comfy lounge chairs, a bar for eating, and a huge movie screen for our Movie Matinee nights or football Sundays!

Straight ahead is just one of the resident lounge areas, featuring a beautiful double-sided stone fireplace and plenty of seating for you and your friends.

On the right side of the lounge is our multimedia center, with computers and desk space for you to utilize while you are studying or getting some work done.

On the left side of the lounge is our bar area and kitchen, where we have wine nights, holiday/resident parties, etc.

Down the right corridor you will find our state of the art Fitness Center. The Fitness Center is made up of two separate rooms: one room with cardio machines and one room with weight and toning machines. The Fitness Center is complete with flat screen TVs and wall-to-wall mirrors to make sure your form is on point. We also can’t forget about the fitness classes that are free for Arcadia Run residents!

As you approach the back of the Clubhouse, you won’t be able to miss our beautiful outdoor patio spaces and resort-style pool through the panoramic windows. The patio spaces are complete with fireplaces and lounge furniture, which makes for a great place to enjoy breezy summer nights.

Our resort-style pool is by far the centerpiece of the Clubhouse, with pool chairs, umbrellas, and even a fountain lining the perimeter.

To the right of the pool is a playground including slides, swings, and a jungle gym, with an adjacent fire-pit for those days when the s’mores are calling your name.

To the left of the pool is a ball court, perfect for an intense neighborhood basketball game, or a solo practice session to work on your free throws.

We know from these photos that the Clubhouse looks beautiful, but even photos can’t do it justice! Stop by Arcadia Run today to tour our Clubhouse and see some of the many reasons our residents love living here!
