If you stop working out and they keep on hearing noises, then you'll have compromised your workout for nothing. It doesn't sound like the manager has actually told you to stop working out, and the manager may not have intended to communicate that to you. If he's only passing on a message that they've complained about noise then he may have simply been going through the motions of talking to you.
Perhaps ask the manager for clarification.

This morning a co-worker and I had a talk about this. She's done Real Estate for decades and knows very much everything about it including laws. I showed her the email that the manager had sent to me. The co-worker said that the manager did not say that I can't work out. Well, she's right about that. The manager said that I should modify the way I work out. But that's the question. I don't know how to modify my working out to make it better according to my downstairs neighbor. It would be easy to have that pointed out if only I could talk to the downstairs neighbor. But I am not permitted to.
I just got a copy of the lease and rules of my place. There's one rule saying that excessive noise that creates discomfort to other neighbors is not allowed. So I guess I've been had there. That's all I can say. Oh well.
