Dwelling Unit device requirements

[WA_Sparky]

Two questions:
Little background.. Working on a 20000sqft 3 story building. Levels 1-2 are commercial office spaces with a kitchen per level. Owner of the business (and building) has a monster apartment/condo on the 3rd floor.

1. Ive never came across this until now but...
Are you required by code to provide a circuit for a range even if the owner does not intend on installing one?
They currently don't have a desire to have a range installed since the commercial kitchens are well equipped with appliances. I only see code requirements for conductors not equipment, "Branch-circuit conductors supplying household ranges, wall-mounted ovens, counter-mounted cooking units, and other household cooking appliances...", Nothing specific on if one is required like the (2) dedicated kitchen appliance circuits.

2. This guy is having us put in a fitness room in this living quarters. Do fitness rooms fall under the receptacle code requirement below?
210.52 Dwelling Unit Receptacle Outlets. "In every kitchen, family room, dining room, living room, parlor, library, den, sunroom, bedroom, recreation room, or similar room or area of dwelling units, receptacle outlets shall be installed in accordance with the general provisions specified in 210.52(A)(1) through (A)(4).

Thanks

Range circuit not required. (You might mention it's a lot harder to add later)
I would say "yes" on rec room.

If the 3rd floor unit is stand alone and does not have "permanent provisions" for cooking it is not a dwelling unit and the dwelling unit rules do not apply. There would be no requirement for the small appliance circuits or AFCIs.

don has an excellent point.
My answer was based on similar jobs here where there were some "permanent" provisions for cooking just no range (an example being a permanently installed microwave).
Often the decision will rest with your AHJ
