In our busy lives, finding ways to unwind, boost wellness, and alleviate stress is essential. At Optima®, we’ve built our communities with this principle in mind, incorporating an array of amenities and services designed to support physical health, mental well-being, and the chance to simply recharge after a long day. From state-of-the-art fitness classes and serene saunas to thoughtfully curated relaxation spaces, here’s how residents at our various Optima® buildings can tap into a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
A Holistic Approach to Wellness
Optima® communities are rooted in the belief that design and functionality should serve the people who live here. Whether you’re focusing on cardio, mindfulness, or social connection, our amenities encourage a rounded approach to de-stressing—addressing mind, body, and spirit.

Fitness Classes for Every Level
Staying active is a proven way to combat stress, release endorphins, and cultivate a positive mindset. That’s why our communities host on-site or nearby fitness classes such as yoga, Pilates, or HIIT. These classes often accommodate different skill levels, making it easy for everyone, from beginners to advanced enthusiasts, to find a routine that matches their pace. With convenient scheduling and top-tier instructors, residents can enjoy a supportive group exercise environment or simply hop into a solo workout in our fully equipped fitness centers.
Saunas and Relaxation Spaces
A sauna is more than just a luxury—it’s a powerful tool to detox, ease tense muscles, and clear the mind. Many of our communities, such as Optima Signature® in Chicago and Optima Sonoran Village® in Scottsdale, feature on-site saunas or steam rooms that add a layer of everyday spa-like indulgence to apartment living. After an intense workout or a hectic day, stepping into a warm, tranquil sauna can help reduce stress hormones, promote circulation, and offer a much-needed mental reset.
Pools and Outdoor Terraces
There’s something universally soothing about water. That’s why our communities include resort-style pools and rooftop terraces designed to make you feel like you’re on vacation even when you’re just a few floors from home. Relaxing on a poolside lounge chair, joining a morning swim club meetup (like the ones we have on Fridays at Optima Lakeview®), or enjoying an evening dip under the stars—all contribute to an instant feeling of calm and can break up a hectic week. Coupled with the breathtaking views often found in our rooftop spaces, it’s a perfect recipe for relaxation.
Bookable Wellness Services
For those looking for more specialized care, we partner with local experts to offer services like massage therapy, meditation workshops, and nutrition consultations. In some locations, we’ve welcomed well-being services like GoodVets (for the comfort of your furry friends) and specialized fitness studios like Reform Studios, ensuring you have everything you need to feel your best right on-site or just steps away. Our community management teams are happy to direct you to the local resources or provide details about events and services that can be booked, bringing top-notch wellness professionals practically to your doorstep.
Social Gatherings and Resident Events
Mental health is closely tied to social connection. Our residents often cite the importance of forming friendships and community bonds as a key aspect of well-being. Optima® properties host happy hours, poolside gatherings, or themed socials to help residents meet neighbors, share experiences, and build supportive networks. This curated programming offers endless stress-busting outlets where you can unwind, learn something new, or simply chat with fellow residents about shared interests.

Our mission is to ensure every resident feels cared for, supported, and inspired by the environment in which they live.
