Floors that take dropped weights, locker rooms that stay dry, and air that keeps up with a full class, for Manhattan gyms and studios.
5.0 from 28 Google reviewsIn short
Gym renovation in New York starts with the floor: whether the structure can carry heavy equipment and dropped weights, and what flooring absorbs the impact for the neighbors below. Ventilation and locker-room waterproofing come next. MCG Corp has repaired cracked floor joists to get a gym back open.
Gym renovation with MCG Corp
When one owner’s floor joists cracked, his gym could not open until they were replaced. We did the structural repair and he was back in business quickly. His review says it better than we can.
Whether you are building a new studio or refitting an existing gym, we plan around the loads, the noise and the water.
Gyms are also heavy users of water and power. Showers, laundry and lighting run for long hours, so we size plumbing and electrical for real use rather than for the drawing.
What this covers
- Structural floor and joist repairs
- Rubber and impact flooring
- Locker rooms and showers
- Ventilation and lighting
- Mirrors, millwork and front desks
What New York adds to the job
Structure and loads
Heavy racks and dropped weights need a floor designed for them; an engineer confirms the structure.
Noise for neighbors
Impact flooring and isolation keep the building on your side.
Showers above other tenants
Locker rooms get continuous waterproofing, like any bathroom over someone else’s space.
What decides the cost of gym renovation in New York
Every job is priced from an itemized written estimate after a site visit. These are the things that move the number most.
The floor
Structural repairs and impact flooring for heavy weights are often the largest item.
Locker rooms
Showers and restrooms need plumbing and full waterproofing.
Ventilation
A full class needs much more air than an office of the same size.
Neighbors
Sound and vibration isolation for tenants below or beside.

5.0 from 28 Google reviewsBilly did a phenomenal job on my gym. We had a structural issue where the foundational joists were cracked and needed to be replaced. Billy and his amazing team got everything done within a quick time span, exceeding all expectations. Now my gym is up and running.
Billy and his team did excellent work. They kept us apprised of how the work was going and asked questions of us regularly. Reasonable price. I would strongly recommend them and will be using them again if further projects arise.
Billy and team are absolutely incredible. They helped us transform our apartment from something generic into something spectacular, assembling an all-star team for electrical work, stonework, painting, and tiling. They dealt diligently and patiently with our stringent condo board and all the paperwork required.
Gym renovation questions
What flooring is best for a gym?
Rubber flooring is standard for weight areas, often over an impact-absorbing underlayment in buildings with tenants below. Studios for yoga or dance usually use sprung wood or vinyl.
Do you build fitness studios as well as gyms?
Yes: yoga, pilates, cycling and boxing studios as well as full gyms, with flooring and ventilation suited to each.
Can you fix a gym floor without closing for long?
Often. Structural floor repairs are planned in sections where possible, so part of the gym stays open while one area is rebuilt.
