I'm guessing that when your kitty hears the noise, it is time for the entire household to get up! Unfortunately, this is not going to away as long as someone is in the gym at 5 a.m. Moving to another apartment could be an option, putting down heavy rugs to abate the noise is other option. Try using white noise (from a sound machine or app on your phone) and see if that helps.
Or ... you can hope that once the gym's lease is up, they relocate. A cat's hearing is so much better than ours, so your kitty can hear noises you can't. Do not blame your kitty. Mine is ready to get up at 5 a.m. as well.
