I am a resident living in an apartment building that also houses a Crossfit MPH gym. The dropping of weights within the facility has led to significant disturbances in my day-to-day life, both from a noise perspective and various health repercussions. The constant anticipation of the noise disrupts my focus, exacerbating feelings of stress and anxiety. Moreover, this repeated noise pollution has given rise to health problems like migraines. It has even stymied my entrepreneurial efforts by preventing me from running my businesses effectively from my dwelling due to these noise violations and infractions.

Based on an article on noise pollution by the World Health Organization (WHO), persistent exposure to noise above 85 decibels can impair hearing and cause other health issues such as cardiovascular diseases, sleep disturbances, and negative mental health outcomes.

As concerned and affected citizens, it is our collective duty to ensure the health and peace of our residential environment: our homes, our havens. As such, we propose to implement a strict ban on the dropping of weights at Crossfit MPH gyms located in apartment buildings, to mitigate this distressing issue faced by residents.

We need your help: sign the petition to uphold the right to peace and quiet within our homes, and to promote a healthier living environment for residents cohabiting with Crossfit MPH gyms in their apartment buildings.
