Use rubber mat rolls for the gym area. Keep the allowance separate from dance-room LVP and theater flooring so the buildout comparison does not double-count material.
Exercise Room
The exercise room should be treated as its own practical buildout: rubber mat rolls, gym equipment clearance, sauna fit, one bulkhead, HVAC service access, and a dedicated 240V sauna run if the sauna stays in scope.

Victory includes a dedicated 240V sauna run. Brian said the sauna fit is fine and only one exercise-room bulkhead is needed. Ben has sauna buildout experience.
Brian flagged roughly 2 feet of clearance around HVAC for service. That clearance should be written into every GC scope before framing decisions lock in.
