how we support gym projects

Weight drops, exercise impacts, amplified music and building services can all affect neighbouring spaces, particularly in mixed-use buildings. These risks should be assessed before layouts, floor systems and equipment locations are fixed.

assess the risk

Reviewing the proposed activities and layout, identifying sensitive neighbours and undertaking measurements where they are needed.

design the mitigation

Developing proportionate controls for impact, structure-borne vibration, amplified music and building services, matched to the proposed activities.

verify on site

Undertaking verification testing where required and advising on operational controls or remedial work if performance falls short.
