F45 Training - Frascati Centre

F45 Training is an Australian franchisor and operator of fitness centers based in Austin, Texas. It is currently one of the fastest growing fitness franchises globally, with over 1,750 studios in 45 countries across Australia, North and South America, Asia, Europe and Africa.

F45 offers thousands of exercises, customized training systems, circuit movement patterns, timing modules and workouts that change on a daily basis.

Having undergone a €30 million refurbishment in 2019, the Frascati Shopping Centre at Blackrock in south Dublin is gearing up for the much-anticipated post-pandemic boom in consumer spending with the opening of a F45 Training club.

To prevent structure-borne vibrations from creating a noise problem in the surrounding shops and yoga studio, the new gym needed to be acoustically isolated.

To reduce noise from activities in the gym causing noise nuisance to the retail outlets below and the residential apartments above, F45 Training decided to install a Stravigym HP floating floor with Stravigym GympactLayer-20 as an impact absorption layer, extending the time of contact/impact and, thereby, reducing the peak impact force and the noise generated.

The high-performance acoustic system with discrete isolators and resilient channels is specifically engineered to control vibrations, minimize low-frequency impact noise, and reduce the transmission of audible structure-borne noise generated by various fitness activities.
