How to soundproof CrossFit racks: prevent vibration and noise in your gym

Introduction: the importance of vibration control in gyms and training centres

CrossFit racks are essential structures in any functional training centre. They allow for demanding exercises such as pull-ups, muscle ups or bar work, but they can also become a major source of noise and vibration if they are not installed correctly.

The constant impact and dynamic movements can generate discomfort throughout the building, especially if the rack is anchored directly to the floor or wall without adequate insulation.

The professional solution is to install acoustic anti-vibration mounts at all anchor points, both on the floor and on the wall.

What is a CrossFit rack and how is it used?

A rack is a metal structure made up of vertical posts, horizontal bars and accessories that allow:

• Squats and barbell shoulder presses.
• Kipping, butterfly or strict pull-ups.
• Muscle ups, toes to bar, ring dips, among others.

These structures are usually anchored to the floor and wall, so any vibration is easily transmitted to the floor or wall.

The problem: structure-borne noise and acoustic nuisance

Installing an uninsulated rack can cause:

1. Transmission of structural noise to houses or other spaces in the building.
2. Discomfort for neighbours or users of adjoining rooms (physiotherapy, yoga, offices…).
3. Legal problems or activity restrictions due to excessive noise.
4. Structural damage in the medium/long term due to material fatigue.

The solution: SENOR anti-vibration acoustic mounts

To eliminate these problems, at SENOR we offer specific solutions for the installation of racks in sports centres, using anti-vibration mounts at critical points:

🔧 Floor anchoring

SENOR reference: SE-PLM/PST-800R-TB
Designed to absorb vertical and impact vibrations that occur during intense exercise. Ideal for racks supported on concrete floors, technical platforms or sports floors.

🔩 Wall anchoring

SENOR part number: SE-PLM 500
Specially developed for wall mounting. Isolates horizontal vibrations generated by pulling, swinging or explosive movements.

Advantages of installing anti-vibration mounts

🧱 Structural protection	Reduces fatigue and avoids micro-cracking
🧘 Acoustic Comfort	Enhances the training experience without disturbing others
📏 Compatibility	Adaptable to most racks and metal structures on the market
🛠️ Technical installation	Easily integrated into the assembly of new buildings or refurbishments

Real cases of use

• CrossFit boxes located on the basement of residential buildings.
• Gyms in premises with adjoining walls with houses or offices.
• Training centres that need to comply with acoustic regulations.
• Spaces shared with other noise-sensitive activities.

Conclusion: train hard, but without the noise

The acoustic isolation of CrossFit racks is a detail that makes the difference in any sports centre. Thanks to SENOR anti-vibration mounts, it is possible to maintain all the functionality and resistance of the rack without compromising the quietness of the environment. At SENOR, we offer you professional solutions adapted to your installation, with references specifically designed to absorb vibrations and comply with the highest technical standards.
