Getzner g-fit Shock Absorb: Free-Weights Noise Reduction
Getzner g-fit Shock Absorb is the premier flooring solution designed for extreme shock reduction in free weights and high-impact zones. It provides up to 29 dB(A) sound reduction and is available in a budget-friendly complete range from Gitco-sa.com across Saudi Arabia.
Description
Getzner g-fit Shock Absorb has been specifically developed to tackle the major challenges of free-weights areas and workout zones that generate exceptional loads and noise. This specialized flooring system achieves efficient sound reduction of up to 29 dB(A), as proven by rigorous dumbbell drop tests.
Beyond noise, g-fit Shock Absorb is engineered to reduce sudden shocks, effectively limiting the force transmitted into the subsurface and the building’s supporting structure. It also increases athlete safety by cushioning the rebound of weights. The system allows for easy, maintenance-free retrofitting of existing floors without major construction work, offering immediate and long-term protection for your facility and your neighbours’ peace of mind.

Know more about Getzner g-fit Shock Absorb:
1. Product & Core Function
- What is the Getzner g-fit Shock Absorb designed for?
It is specially developed for free-weights areas, powerlifting zones, and CrossFit workout zones where heavy dumbbells and barbells are dropped, creating exceptional loads and severe impact noise.2
- What problem does g-fit Shock Absorb solve?
It solves the issue of structure-borne noise and vibrations caused by dropped weights, which often leads to complaints from adjacent rooms and puts strain on the building’s structure.3
- What is the core material of g-fit Shock Absorb?
The system is based on Getzner’s high-tech, multi-layered polyurethane elastomers (Sylomer®), designed with different dynamic stiffnesses and damping values to optimise impact absorption.4
- How is the system constructed?
It is a modular flooring system consisting of a g-fit Shock Absorb base layer (the elastomer) and a top layer (typically a standard commercial sports floor) chosen by the customer.
- Is this product used in new gyms or retrofitted?
It can be efficiently installed in both new CrossFit boxes/gyms and can be retrofitted easily into existing floor structures.5
2. Acoustic & Safety Performance
- What is the maximum sound reduction achievable?
Laboratory and practical tests prove an efficient sound reduction of up to 29 dB(A) for the highest performance variant (Shock Absorb Extreme), depending on the specific setup and ceiling mass.6
- How is the noise reduction measured?
The sound reduction ($\Delta L_{A,F,max}$) is measured using controlled dumbbell drop tests, often with a 50 kg weight dropped from 50 cm, according to standards like EN ISO 10052.
- Does g-fit Shock Absorb reduce the risk of injury?
Yes. The high dynamic damping of the materials reduces the rebound of weights (like dumbbells and kettlebells), minimizing the risk of injury to athletes.7
- How does it protect the building structure?
The system absorbs the sudden, high-impact force, reducing the effects of the forces transmitted to the subsurface by up to 75%, thereby maintaining the value of the premises and protecting the supporting structure from cracking.
- Does it prevent crack formation on floor coverings?
Yes, one of the stated benefits is the prevention of crack formation on floor coverings and in the supporting structure due to heavy impacts.
3. Product Range and Specifications
- Are there different versions of g-fit Shock Absorb?
Yes, Getzner offers a product range of varying thicknesses and performance levels: Base, Advanced, Pro, and Extreme, allowing for customised solutions based on the required load and desired efficiency.8
- What is the thickness of the different variants?
The thickness varies: Base (e.g., 12.5 mm), Advanced (e.g., 25 mm), Pro (e.g., 50 mm), and Extreme (e.g., 75 mm).9
- What kind of weight capacity does the system support?
The different variants are optimised for different maximum weight drops, with the Extreme version handling standard bell weights up to 250 kg.
- Is the installation height significant?
No, the system is designed to have a low additional height and minimal extra weight, making it a viable solution for existing buildings.10
- What is the temperature range for the material?
The material is resistant to a wide range of temperatures, typically from $-30^\circ\mathrm{C}$ to $+70^\circ\mathrm{C}$.
4. Commercial and Practical Use
- How easy is g-fit Shock Absorb to install?
The installation process is simple: the sheets must be placed with the labelled surface facing up, starting from one wall, and avoiding cross-shaped joints. Cuttings can be done with a standard cutter-knife.
- Is the system maintenance-free?
Yes, like all Getzner elastomer solutions, the g-fit bearings are designed to be maintenance-free and resistant to ageing (no material fatigue) for decades.
- Does it provide flexibility in the choice of gym location?
Yes, significantly reducing noise gives gym operators more flexibility in choosing a location, even in multi-story residential or office buildings, without restrictions on usage times.11
- Can the Shock Absorb system be used with any top floor covering?
Yes, the system is designed to be combined with all conventional floor coverings (as the top layer).
