Gym Integration

The integration of gyms in mixed-use buildings provides short distances as well as modern infrastructure but also requires effective sound control solutions. With the newly constructed functional building of football club SSV Jahn Regensburg, the goal was to combine offices and physiotherapy rooms downstairs and a gym upstairs on the second floor. Another highlight is the press room right next to the fitness area with its glass front and view over the entire football pitch. The architectural design shows that there are sensitive areas adjacent to the planned gym which required a specific concept of noise isolation and thus, the challenge was clear: An excellent sound control solution without any compromises to the sports related properties of the flooring was needed. Fitness and Acoustics – the link of two core strengths of REGUPOL.

The world of acoustics

Thanks to our REGUPOL sonusfi t c-series the conflict-free use of the sensitive areas like the offices, the physiotherapy rooms or the press room is possible. Incorporated
in this customized system is a floating screed with a low resonance frequency which isolates disturbing noise from weight dropping or sprint exercises effectively, especially in
the low frequencies. The various requirements in the cardio and free-weight area can be fulfilled successfully with this individual solution. To allow for the specific need of sound
insulation in the free-weight area, our system REGUPOL sonusfi t m-series 517 completes the floor build-up. The sprint- and cardio area has been fit out with our REGUPOL
everroll impact fitness flooring. It is the combination of both the low frequent screed design and the different flooring solutions that unifi es the various uses within the building
successfully.

The result of the acoustic test was a sound pressure level of L’n,w 25 dB, tested on the bare screed without any floor coverings. This almost unmeasurable result was extraordinary
even in the low frequency range below 100 Hz as the spectrum adaptation term CI,50-2500 was only 3 dB. The excitation of the build-up with realistic testing devices confi rmed the excellent acoustical performance of the system even under heavy impacts and especially in the low frequencies. A 30 kg steel ball was dropped from 300 mm height to simulate the professional workout.
