Exercise has become a mainstay of everyday American life. A huge number of residential and commercial gyms have popped up all across the country. Per the Yellow Pages, there are now more than 30,500 fitness centers located in the United States. Additionally, since 2001, there has been more than a 44% rise in the number of personal trainers nationwide. It is safe to say that fitness is now both a popular industry and a way of life. However, gyms are full of heavy equipment that can damage existing flooring as well as suffer damage themselves. Rubber-Cal’s fitness equipment mats provide the protection necessary for both home and commercial gym floors while offering a high degree of anti-fatigue comfort and anti-slip traction. Our exercise flooring products come in a variety of forms and gauges which can suit a wide variety of practical and aesthetic demands. Some workout equipment mats are even made of affordable and eco-friendly recycled rubber. No matter what kind of gym you may have, rubber fitness flooring is a necessity.

The most apparent benefit of having fitness equipment mats in place is that the area’s existing floors will be protected. It is never a good idea to place workout equipment like barbells or treadmills on a surface like wood because there will be significant damage to the floor. Even tougher surfaces like concrete can become worn down over time by heavy weights and high-volume foot traffic should they lack any sort of fitness equipment mats. This is especially true in commercial facilities. Rubber exercise flooring, such as a treadmill mat or an elliptical mat, is the perfect protective barrier between the floor and the machine. Rubber is durable enough to absorb the weight related impact and vibration of workout equipment. This prevents any force from making contact with a sensitive surface. Our line of rubber fitness flooring can help you save money on potentially expensive repairs. When you compare installing a $200 safety mat against making a $2,000 repair, it is clear to see the inherent advantage of owning proper fitness equipment mats.

Easy to Install: Whether you have a temporary or permanent use for these mats, the installation process for this rolled rubber flooring is so easy that you will hardly break a sweat. For temporary uses, double-sided tape is the best option. For a permanent installation, a glue adhesive will be ideal. The rubber material works very well with various adhesives. The weight of the mat itself is enough to keep it flat on the surface.

Excellent Durability: The protective qualities of this rolled rubber flooring is hard to beat. These rubber flooring mats are designed with abrasive conditions in mind. As a result, they excel as outdoor flooring in applications such as a kennel mat or flooring for a gym. The constant wear and tear of high foot traffic pose no problem to these durable Green floor mats. The rubber material of the mat will even buffer against the weight of heavy equipment, which can wreak havoc on wood floors. Their lasting durability has made them the preferred choice for floor protection across the country. It is hard to beat this level of quality protection for this price.

Rubber works as such an effective cushion and padding material because it has a naturally high elasticity. Because fitness equipment mats made from rubber absorb blows and weights via spreading the impacts over a wider area, they dissipate potentially harmful energy that could otherwise wear down and destroy both flooring and equipment. These fitness equipment mats also come in varying gauges, which means you can get a suitable form of exercise flooring based on your needs with any specific piece of equipment. For example, the workout equipment mats you place under a bench press or heavy barbell area will likely have to be thicker than other forms of matting, due to the weights they have to handle.

Not only will an area’s existing flooring be protected by rubber fitness flooring, but so too will the actual equipment in the gym. Damage can be a two-way street. While a treadmill may damage a wooden surface, it can also sustain damage to itself when placed on a hard and unforgiving surface. With a rubber treadmill mat or elliptical mat in place the risk of your expensive machine being damaged is vastly minimized. As durable as the rubber in our fitness equipment mats may be, the material is still soft enough to be forgiving to whatever may be on top of it. This also includes you; just consider how much more comfortable (and, thereby, more inclined to continue to work out) you will be on rubber fitness flooring versus exercising on a segment of hard wood or concrete.

Your comfort level is a crucial factor to you getting a good workout. Rubber fitness flooring is much more comfortable to exercise on than simple bare wooden or concrete floors. Some of our fitness equipment mats come in gauges that are specifically designed to enhance the comfort as well as floor protection. These anti-fatigue qualities benefit you by relieving your back and feet from pressure that can build up through prolonged strenuous activity. This means that you can exercise on our workout equipment mats for longer periods of time with enhanced levels of comfort.
