Fitness center Group B vs A-3 based on Occupant load

[tonyflux]

I'm calculating the occupant load for a fitness center remodel project in FL. The calculations are between 49-52 depending on defining the net areas (exercise space, offices, lobby etc..) vs gross area calculations.
Are there any design disadvantages for Occupant load becoming 50+which will make it Group A-3?

All doors serving the assembly space to have panic hardware, and it may affect the plumbing fixture calculation.

Thanks. It's an open space, so we have 2 entry doors and one exit door. Entry doors are glass (storefront) doors, Can't put panic hardware. Plumbing fixture calculations ask for less than what's required in Group B.
