Significantly reducenoise levels with g-fit
For operators, the location of a fitness centre plays a important role,
but due to noise protection regulations, not every location can be selected for this purpose. This is why
noise reduction measures are particularly important during the planning stages of a fitness studio.
g-fit by Getzner is a product line basedon high-tech elastomers, which are installed in the floor or adapted for fitness equipment. This means that they
block disturbing noise and vibrations
even before they arise.

2Advantages & benefits— Flexibility when it comes to the selection of a location, thanks to­reduced sound transmission to adjoining floors— Long-lasting and maintenance-free for many years— Simple and efficient installation— Can be retrofitted in existing floors— Free from contaminants and ideal for areas with demanding
health and safety requirements— No restrictions on usage times imposed by rental agreements— Value retention as a result of reduced
wear on the building structure— Improved relationships with neighbours and letting agents

Perfectly elastic floors
with g-fit Aerobic

Lots of people moving in time
­together causes the floor to vibrate.
This is especially true when people start jumping in sync or steps
are taken in rhythm; these are thekind of vibrations that can be felt in­other areas.

g-fit Aerobic decouples the building'sfloor construction. This means that vibrations are not able to spread. It also
gives the floor that bit of bounce needed for certain exercises.

Benefits:— No acoustic transfer to any
premises below— Reliable protection and reduced
risk of injuries of falls or drops— Allows for flexible usage of­aerobics areas

Suitable for:Aerobics, Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, circuit

4Reduce the Shock with­g-fit Impact and Shock Absorb

The weight lifting area is often themost critical area in the fitness studio. There is no way to avoid a certain level of impact when it comes tosetting down weights and dumbbells.
This generates noise and can evendamage the floor. Nor do you want
weights to bounce back too much because it could cause injuries.

g-fit Shock Absorb is a product linethat can be retrofitted quickly and­easily onto existing floor structures.
g-fit Impact is taken into account at
the planning stage of new build or refurbishment projects.

A wide variety of equipment is usedfor endurance training. Spinning,
moving wheels and weights generate
disturbing vibrations that can be detected as noise.

Stopsvibrations

g-fit Cardio is a high-tech material
that is laid in the floor and thus provides elastic mounting. Noise is reduced for the long term.

Benefits:— Impacts from training equipment
are isolated— High load capacity of floor— Flexible equipment layout— Low installation heights— Individually customisable soundand vibration protection

are not affected by its use.

g-fit Gear is the best solution for all
types of equipment. The modular andcustomisable system is easy to installand maintenance-free.
