Gyms often contain noisy equipment, heavy weight drops and loud music. Coupled with hard reflective surfaces, this may cause problems when a Gym is part of a multi-use building, especially an apartment building or office complex. Careful attention should be paid to sound insulation by using separating partitions and vibration isolation of floors to ensure that noise disturbance to adjacent spaces is kept to an absolute minimum.
