In 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.

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.

Billy 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.

Jose Rodriguez, gym structural repair

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.

Richard Lloyd, home renovation

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.
