With the right build-out, far less than you'd expect. We layer high-density rubber flooring, resilient ceiling clips, insulated cavities, and solid-core doors. Dropped weights and treadmill thud drop measurably — the space stays usable without disturbing upstairs.

We design ventilation and dehumidification into the build from day one. Exhaust fans, fresh-air intake where possible, and a dedicated dehumidifier keep the air clean and the finishes healthy — critical for a space that produces sweat daily.

We typically run one or two dedicated 20-amp circuits for cardio, a 240V line if sauna or high-draw equipment is planned, and clean AV + lighting separation. We pull the electrical permit and coordinate inspection with your town.
