!000# is a bit much. For those that go to a gym, you'll note a heavy
machine will go up to about 250# and cover about 2'X2' at the support.

David, although 50 psf is sounds reasonable however, the magnitude of
the point load is quiet big especially if you are talking
Bowflex, Weight rack, etc as your gym equipments. I suggest disregarding
the descriptive word "home" and focusing the word "Gym" would eliminate
the confusion. In my opinion a 150 psf plus a concentrated load of 1000
lb. would be ideal for this kind of application.

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