If there are spaces in the facility that don’t have cardio machines, there is no need to install access points in that area.

cHAPter 10: Ascent trAiner sPecificAtions And AsseMbly gUide 10.7 netPUlse & AM setting UP soP Both the 2.4GHz and 5 GHz patterns are fairly symmetric in the azimuthal plane (XY), so it makes little to no difference how the AP is rotated about the Z-axis when mounting.
Page 144
cHAPter 10: Ascent trAiner sPecificAtions And AsseMbly gUide 10.7 netPUlse & AM setting UP soP With this type of coverage pattern it is very important to mount the AP so that the base of the coverage cone covers the desired wireless clients. This can be accomplished by mounting the AP to the ceiling above the clients with the face of the AP (the side with the LED lights) pointed down toward the floor.
