Main Gym Floor Acoustics in Gyms & Fitness Centres

Acoustic performance in a main gym floor directly impacts the functionality and occupant experience of gyms & fitness centres buildings. The RT60 target of ≤1.5s is set to ensure that the space meets its intended purpose, whether that involves speech intelligibility, noise control, or sound isolation from adjacent areas.

The key metric of LAeq ≤85 dB addresses the primary acoustic concern for this room type. Achieving this target typically requires a combination of absorptive surface treatments, appropriate construction mass, and careful attention to flanking paths and HVAC noise contributions.

Controlling high-impact noise from dropped weights and vibration transmission to adjacent commercial or residential spaces, while managing amplified music levels that regularly exceed 90 dBA in group exercise studios.
