House hacking home gym

[Justin DAlessandro]

Hello everyone,

I am house hacking an up and down solid brick triplex, with a very large underground basement. I want to put a home gym in one of the basement quarters. My workouts often include deadlifting, and I am concerned about noise for the 1st floor tenant from dropping weights.

My second concern is the flooring. Right now it is destroyed and I plan to take self leveler to resurface it, then throw horse stall mats overtop to absorb some of the shock and sound.

Does anyone have experience with this type of scenario?
