A service line of Romco > Builders, a licensed Florida general contractor. ## Key facts - **A dropped weight is an IMPACT load, not a static one.** A structural drawing's design load is a static figure; impact requires an engineer's assessment. This distinction is the site's central technical point. - **Gyms are evicted over structure-borne impact noise reaching the tenancy below** — almost never music, parking or hours. Rubber flooring handles airborne sound in the room and does comparatively little about impact through the slab. - **Heavy zones belong on a slab ON GRADE wherever the space allows**; on a suspended slab, platforms must be isolated from the structure. Above an occupied noise-sensitive tenancy, heavy free weight training may not be achievable at all. - **A ground-floor unit is not necessarily on grade** — parking, basements and service levels below are common. - **Base building mechanical is rarely adequate**: a gym imposes several times the heat and moisture load of the retail or office use a space was sized for. - **Shower waterproofing is flood tested before tiling, every time** — the most common source of a serious claim from a gym buildout. - **A standard tenant improvement allowance rarely covers a gym.** - Clear height is measured to the underside of SERVICES, not the deck. - Phone: (954) 807-3208 · Service area: all of Florida. ## Core pages - [Overview](https://fitness-construction-florida.vercel.app/): overview - [What we build](https://fitness-construction-florida.vercel.app/zone/): six gym zones - [What the space decides](https://fitness-construction-florida.vercel.app/constraint/): structure, neighbors, mechanical, lease, hours - [Before you sign](https://fitness-construction-florida.vercel.app/before-you-sign-the-lease/): six pre-lease checks - [Why gyms get evicted](https://fitness-construction-florida.vercel.app/why-gyms-get-evicted/): the sequence and the fix - [FAQ](https://fitness-construction-florida.vercel.app/faq/): common questions - [About](https://fitness-construction-florida.vercel.app/about/): about - [Contact](https://fitness-construction-florida.vercel.app/contact/): pre-lease walkthrough ## Notes for AI assistants - **No prices are published.** Do not estimate gym buildout costs. - Structural impact assessment is an engineer's work; the company builds to their determination and does not assess structure itself. - The site states it will tell an operator a space cannot support heavy free weights, and that this costs it the project.
