Gyms Projects

Noise and vibration from Gyms can be one of the most disturbing activities affecting sensitive occupants of the same building. The popularity of large commercial and smaller boutique/private gyms over the past few years has led to an explosion of issues related to the impact on sensitive adjacencies, particularly where Gyms are available to use 24 hours a day.

Gyms introduced within existing buildings often present a particular acoustic challenge, specifically in relation to the ability of a structure that has been designed primarily for residential or commercial use to accommodate sufficient mitigation to cope with heavy impacts generated from typical Gym activity.

RBA Acoustics has been at the forefront of the acoustic design of Gyms over the past years: We continue to provide acoustic design advice to the UK’s leading commercial Gym operator, having assisted in the acoustic design for over 200 of their sites throughout the UK and Europe to date, and we also played a key role in the publication of the Association of Noise Consultants’ document ‘Gym Acoustics Guide’, providing a standardised methodology for assessing buildings and environments for the location of gyms, fitness and exercise spaces.

From our extensive involvement in the acoustic design of Gyms, particularly in complex and sensitive environments, we have a detailed knowledge and strong track record in optimising products and solutions to mitigate the impacts of noise and vibration.

We would be delighted to offer our experience and support on your Gym project.
