TVS Sports Surfaces provided a range of cutting-edge acoustic surfaces to Body Zone Fitness in Newcastle to alleviate noise and vibration, and create a calming gym environment
Acoustic solutions were supplied to Body Zone Fitness
Body Zone Fitness is an independent fitness facility operating within a mixed-use development in the city centre of Newcastle Upon Tyne. The gym has approximately 200 pieces of fitness equipment, housed over two levels and with well over 2,000 active members. The landlord, who also operates the gym, was keen to alleviate noise and vibration disturbance (caused by gym activities) to other areas of the building and turned to TVS Sports Surfaces and parent company, Total Vibration Solutions Limited, for help. The long-term protection of the subfloor was also important to the client.
The Solution After the initial assessment of the problem, TVS specified an acoustic build-up of materials for installation in the free weights section of the gym. This system is designed to lessen the transmission of impact shock caused by falling heavy objects such as barbells and dumbbells and this area was finished with interlocking TVS SPORTEC Style Tiles, as they provide a suitable performance platform for heavy weight lifting to take place.
Throughout other areas of the gym, TVS SPORTEC Color-15 sheet rubber was specified on this occasion, as this material is extremely durable, tough and highly resistant to mechanical wear. It’s also easy to maintain, available in a wide range of colours and provides enough cushioning underfoot for exercisers to work out safely.
Result TVS Sports Surfaces helped the client by providing an innovative solution that addressed the issues identified. Noise and vibration was controlled in the free weights area of the gym and neighbouring tenants were not disturbed by gym activities. The floor finishes used throughout the gym provided extra protection to the concrete subfloor.
TVS Sports Surfaces is a leading provider of flooring materials and supply products suitable for sports, leisure and playground facilities. As well as material supply and installation, TVS offers bespoke line marking services, custom sprint tracks, acoustic solutions and playground accessories.
