When it comes to gyms and fitness studios, something that is often overlooked (literally and figuratively) is the importance of fitness flooring. Gym floors take a lot of abuse. From heavy barbell plates, to bouncing medicine balls, to high foot traffic volume – it’s easy to see how any unprotected fitness flooring is potentially at risk of sustaining serious damage over the course of its lifetime. Not only that, but by installing proper fitness flooring into your home or commercial gym, you will be providing a crucial barrier for protecting your guests –and even yourself- from unfortunate slip-and-fall accidents. Because they possess both high levels of traction and comfort, fitness floor mats made from rubber and other impact-absorbing material are extremely effective at reducing these aforementioned slip-and-fall accidents. By providing protected floor space in your gymnasium, you will be doing your part in establishing a workout area that is effective, enjoyable, and –most importantly- safe.
“Revolution” Interlocking Flooring Tiles
Over time, even the most seemingly resilient of sub-surfacing can become worn down by extensive wear-and-tear. This is true of carpet, wood, and even concrete. One critical way of staving off this deterioration process in your home or commercial gymnasium is with the installation of fitness flooring. Consumers should know not to underestimate the damage that can be sustained by such supposedly benign things as treadmill vibration. In fact, the vibrating force of large pieces of machinery such as treadmills can be a significant source of damage for almost any floor space. This is especially true if your area has many pieces of heavy machinery operating in tandem (such as a long row of treadmills in a commercial gym). Make sure your fitness floor space is adequately protected by proper matting before installing any sort of heavy aerobic equipment. Your floors- and your wallet- will appreciate it.
“Armor-Lock (Fitness)” Interlocking Rubber Tile
- Smaller sized tiles that are perfect for smaller sized gyms or garages
- Flooring for a garage. These tiles can handle the abusive most residential (& commercial) garages.
- Use as flooring for gym. Since it can absorb the impact of heavy weights and resists moisture, these are ideal to place in your workout areas.
- Affordability plus durability. These eco-friendly recycled floors are made from reclaimed rubber, which is tough and long lasting.
Pebble Top Finish: The vulcanized surface of these recycled floors comes with a pebble top finish. This quality helps the tile give your feet a good level of comfort and traction, especially if you are using these as a type of flooring for gym.
Easy to Transport: Sometimes, the circumstances in our lives dictate a change of location. If you happen to find yourself on the move to new territory, or if you just want something that is easy to carry around, then these 20” x 20” rubber flooring tiles are for you. Because of their smaller size and lighter weight, they are perfect for easy transportation. Add this to the fact that this is interlocking flooring, meaning that you will be spared from carrying around the additional adhesive materials that you would need for most other roll flooring.
However, it should not be said that fitness flooring is only for the benefit of the floors themselves. Arguably, their most important purpose is to protect you – the user- and anyone else who comes into your gym or workout space. By providing a soft cushion to blunt falls and reduce the possibility of injury, fitness floor mats are the ideal solution for creating an inviting and protected gymnasium – commercial, home, or otherwise. Combined with their natural traction abilities, rubber and PVC fitness flooring mats offer a reliable and safe surface that can provide superior comfort and dependability to all those who walk above them.
“Maxx-Tuff” Heavy-Duty Mats

- Easy to clean with water and common soap
- Diamond patterned subsurface grips onto floors below
- Eco-friendly reclaimed floor that is affordable and very durable

Heavy Duty Protection: If anyone has any doubts about how thick and durable these mats are, they only need to take one good look at them. These thick mats are designed to be used for heavy-duty applications. For example, if they are used as gym equipment mats, they will easily absorb the shock and pressure of heavy weight equipment being placed on them without suffering a scratch. Better yet, the floors underneath these heavy-duty mats will also be secure from damage.
Designed for Traction: All across the surface of this 4 x 6 rubber mat is a unique honeycomb design. The purpose of this design is to provide a better grip and more traction for feet. More traction means more safety and a far lower likelihood of slipping and falling. Rubber itself provides more traction for feet, but when it is formed into this design, this mat’s anti-slip quality significantly and noticeably improves.
There’s good reason why many consider safety to be the most important thing. Whether it come to protecting your floors, yourself, or your guests, implementing proper fitness flooring is an exceptional way of making sure as much damage as possible is mitigated. The damage gym floors can sustain from heavy machinery vibrations, weightlifting equipment, and even foot traffic is not something to underestimate. Fitness floor mats made from rubber or PVC are a quality way of keeping your vulnerable floors intact and useable. It is safe to say that, when it comes to fitness flooring for gyms of all kinds, protected, padded floors of rubber or PVC are the way to go.
