Re: Live Load for residential home gym

Depends on whether freeweights are going to be used on not. Aerobic equip and maybe a bowflex or light-weight universal would be fine at 50; if there are going to be freeweights involved, you might consider whether or not they could decide to store them in the middle of the span.

50 psf LL sounds reasonable for a home gym.  Or am I way off?  Any advice would be appreciated  TIA
