II. Introduction
Ahealth club(also known as afitness club,fitness center,health
spa, and commonly referred to as agym) is a place which houses
exercise equipment for the purpose ofphysical exercise.
A gym that predominantly or exclusively consists of free weights
(dumbbells and barbells), as opposed to exercise machines, is
sometimes referred to as ablack-iron gym, after the traditional
color ofweight plates
III. Significance of the Study
Scope
The study for the design improvement is to center on Jess Body Building
Fitness Gym in its actual worst acoustical structure.
The study focuses to the soundproofing of the gym
The study is based to the ISO 3382 standard for the reference of the
RT60.
Delimitation
The study conforms only to the ISO 3382 standard for rooms.
The study and its designing can only change the materials to be used in
the walls, floor, roof and etc. not changing the area of the gym structure
VI. Review of Related Studies
Critical Distance
The distance from a sound source at which the
reverberant sound is equal to the direct sound.
Equation from Sabine
For many rooms, the reverberation time T can be estimated by the
famous equation from Sabine:

IX. Methodology
X. Advancement Strategy
For the advancement system utilized as a part of the
review, having assembled the expected to information,
for example, the range of every material in the room, the
general measurements of the room, and the each of the
materials assimilation coefficient, the resonation times
were known through calculation.
