TrainMore Blaak

TrainMore Blaak in Rotterdam is the latest addition to the gym chain's portfolio. Founded in 2010, TrainMore promotes itself as the 'ultimate urban fitness playground', a place where people go to work out, but also to have fun. At TrainMore, it's not so much about growing muscles, as it is about getting into shape so that young urban professionals can get more out of life. 'Don't live to train, but train to live' is their motto.

TrainMore also has its own charity foundation, dedicated to getting youngsters to excercize more and live a healthier livestyle. For every 10 times a TrainMore gym member visits the gym, TrainMore donates €1 to the charity. At the same time, gym-goers are being motivated to come back and keep in shape by rewarding them with a €1 discount on each visit, a unique concept in the industry!

To make full use of the free weight area without causing any nuisance to the upstairs neighbors, vibration measurements were carried out by Greten Raadgevende Ingenieurs (acoustic consultant) to better understand the acoustical requirements.

Although CDM Stravitec solutions are always extensively tested in laboratories, it was decided to install a mockup of the Stravigym XP system to test it under real-life conditions, proving the effectiveness of the system to the client. Once set up by our local partner Delta-L, the acoustic consultant oversaw the weight drop tests and concluded that the Stravigym XP system with GympactLayer-45 and dBooster^® technology, more than met the requirements, giving the green light for the installation of the entire floor.
