How Noisy Is Home Gym Equipment Really?
Keeping the neighbours happy while you workout.
29/01/2025•1 min read•Dr. James Miller, CSCS
In a terrace or flat, noise travels. Dropping weights or a whirring motor can cause friction with neighbours. Silence is a feature worth paying for.
Impact Noise vs. Motor Noise
Treadmills create thudding (impact). Rowing Machines create wind/water whooshing. Magnetic Exercise Bikes are effectively silent.
Who This Is For
Apartment dwellers and upstairs parents training while kids sleep.
Who This Is Not For
Detached garage owners who can blast music and drop weights freely.
