    I don't understand? When are you doing the DVD? If it's after 9 AM and before 7 PM I would say the apartment complex can't really do anything about it - they won't evict you.

    The OP lives in Ontario, excessive noise that interferes with other tenants right to quiet enjoyment of their apartments is grounds for eviction irrespective of the time (but the tenant also has a right to a hearing before a tribunal if an eviction order is issued, the complaint has to be reasonable - perhaps the person below her works nights......)
    you are in Ontario, as long as you are not going over a measured decibel level in a residential area before 11 pm then there is little they can do.

    Firstly, they would have to measure the actual sound level you are creating and create proof of "annoyance levels" being met and exceeded.

    Then they would have to confirm that they have had numerous tenant complaints from more than one tenant.

    This is only if you have have been working out before 11 pm. 11 pm and after, is however subject to noise annoyance bylaws and would result in a ticket and or fine.

    so either change your work out time, or modify your workout.

    You're mistaken, you're thinking of noise by-laws which have nothing to do with evictions. This comes under the Residential Tenancies Act sections 64 & 65 but the onus would be on the landlord to demonstrate that the interference was "substantial"

    To the OP, have you spoken to your downstairs neighbour? Perhaps there's a time that you could continue with your current workouts that would not disturb them......it's also possible they're just whiners who are completely unreasonable......

    Forget talking to your neighbours about why you are doing it - no one should have to put up with a racket from above!

    A more civilized response, as a neighbor entitled to peace and quiet, would be to find mutually agreeable times for the racket from above, whether it's a time when the aggrieved neighbor is not home, or a time when the neighbor below is awake and can put up with 30-60 minutes of pounding because, in all likelihood, the law allows a person to make noise during certain hours.

    Hmmmmm... I see where you're coming from but if she has had a letter about the noise then it has escalated already and her neighbours aren't happy. Talking to them might help, but getting out for a run would be better. Often it's not just noise that's an issue. I live in a timber-framed building and my walls shake and light fittings sway when my neighbour jumps around. Not ideal.

    You could get an exercise bike pretty cheaply second hand, and get your cardio in that way. This way you are still working out at home, less/no noise and lots of calorie burn. :)

    Toneitup.com ..... fantastic, fun, amazing toning!

    I actually work as a rental specialist though... the province of Ontario is pro-tenant, not to mention that an actual eviction process takes oodles of time (6+months) --- go onto the landlord tenant board of ontario, there should be a hotline.

    Hope this helps!
