If it's an old house, the ceiling will bounce too, and it's Ugly, Ugly, Ulgly !!! Plus the TT will sway when you use it unless you add horizontal guy wires or post tension wires down to the floor -- more Ugly!! So forget that.
Elizabeth's shoring solution is OK. But instead of bricks, get four concrete piers (look like 12 in. cubes w/ sloping sides and a steel strap imbedded in the top to hold a post.)
Place two per joist on the ground in the crawl space under where the rack feet come down, and then using temporary 2x4s or framing jacks force the joists up in that area about an inch and slip 4x4 posts cut to length onto all the piers and remove the jacks.
ABSOLUTE BEST SOLUTION? A steel wall rack/shelf lag bolted into the studs or (even better) a masonry wall. Nothing better short of a reinforced concrete column poured directly into the ground (this solution works nicely for telescopes too, after removing the roof ;--)
