Impact resistance depends upon the strength of Concrete you choose and any surface treatment you choose.
Oh right ok so no reinforcement needed but obviously a joint or 2 should be added....when you say surface treatment what do you mean by that?
No wooden floor? That slab will be a constant heat sink and tough on any joints.
There will be 20mm rubber mat flooring, specific for gym.

Any steel mesh reinforcing has no effect upon the impact resistance of your concrete slab. The steel mesh reinforcing ensures that the inevitability of your slab cracking results in planned 'cracks'/joint occurs where you want it, and can effectively seal it.
