The gym already has rubber flooring but its still hard.
Anyone experienced anything similar and if so any ideas on reducing the impact?

Don't land on the bottom...
Seriously.. just lightly brush the bottom of your shoe on the floor but don't actually land it... this will also teach you to have a slower decent as you will be trying to find the bottom to just brush it but not land it... You may have to use a smaller step as this will
require more strength and control...
If you still want to actually land your foot then descend much slower and gain more control.. even if you have to go to a lighter weight or smaller step..
