Iron Body Strength and Fitness | RF003
A gym is a big open floor with a handful of rooms that make it a business. Iron Body Strength and Fitness RF003 is a 50×140 gym in Pennsylvania where the sheet spends as much time on the rooms as on the shell.
It lists men’s and women’s locker rooms with bathrooms, an office, a merchandise room, a posing room, a mechanical room, and a juice bar. Read how this gym with locker rooms is built, sound-treated, and ceilinged before you scope your own training facility.
Photos of a 50×140 Gym Building
This photo looks across the open floor, so the room itself is the lesson. Rubber flooring runs wall to wall, with lifting platforms and racks spread under rows of light strips on a steel liner ceiling, and mirrors along the far wall. No post stands anywhere in the equipment area, so nothing interrupts the layout.

Post-Frame Gym Building Specifications
This post-frame gym keeps the shell simple so the interior can do the work. The 3-ply 2×6 glu-laminated poles sit 8 feet on center. The 50-foot trusses sit 4 feet on center at a 4/12 pitch, sized for snow load by code and design. Inside, 2×6 partitions hold 4-inch sound abatement insulation, and room ceilings drop to 9 feet.

- A glass entry: Full-glass commercial doors with panic hardware and hydraulic closers sit under a 10×4 black pent roof.
- Fire protection built in: Fire blocking runs in the walls and draft stops sit in the trusses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do post-frame gyms have posts in the middle of the floor?
No. Every Pioneer building is full span with no interior posts. This gym’s 50-foot trusses leave the main floor open for racks and platforms.
Can you put locker rooms and bathrooms inside a post-frame gym?
Yes. This gym has men’s and women’s locker rooms with bathrooms, plus an office, a merchandise room, a posing room, and a mechanical room.
How do you control sound between rooms in a post-frame gym?
Start in the walls. Here, 2×6 partitions hold 4-inch sound abatement insulation around the rooms, finished with 5/8-inch drywall.
Pricing & Financing Options
On a gym with locker rooms like this one, the quote follows the rooms more than the footprint. The locker rooms and bathrooms, the 2×6 partitions with 4-inch sound abatement insulation, the suspended ceilings with steel liner above, the eight insulated access doors, the juice bar, and the commercial glass entry doors each move the number. The 192 powder-coated snow guards and the 10×4 pent roof add scope too. Pioneer does not publish a price because none of those are catalog items. Tell us your room list, your equipment layout, and your colors, and we will price your version.
Financing is available through Hearth. Learn more about our Financing Options, call (888) 448-2505, or Request Your Free Quote to get started.

Final Thoughts
Decide how much sound control each room needs before the walls are framed. On this sheet, the partitions are 2×6 walls with 4 inches of sound abatement insulation, while the walls facing the main floor are steel liner panels. That split puts the quiet on the room side and a plain steel face on the floor side. The trade-off is where you spend: wall depth and insulation around the rooms, against a simple finish on the open floor. Settle which rooms need quiet, such as the office and the posing room, first.
