As a gym owner, selecting the right flooring solution is essential for creating a safe, functional, and appealing training environment for your members. Here are some key reasons why choosing the right flooring solution is so important for gyms:

  1. Safety: Proper flooring is crucial for ensuring the safety of your members and staff. A floor that is slippery, uneven, or damaged can cause accidents and injuries. By choosing a flooring solution that is slip-resistant and even, you can prevent falls and other accidents.

  2. Durability: Gym flooring is subjected to a lot of wear and tear, especially in areas where weights and other equipment are used frequently. It's important to choose a flooring solution that is durable and resistant to damage. Look for flooring that is made of strong and wear-resistant materials such as rubber or urethane and products that have been tried and tested in commercial environments.

  3. Comfort: Gym flooring should be comfortable to stand and exercise on for long periods of time. Consider choosing a flooring solution that is cushioned or has some give to it, as this can help reduce fatigue and discomfort for your members.

  4. Noise reduction: Gym flooring can create a lot of noise, especially when weights are being dropped or equipment is being used. Consider choosing a flooring solution that can help reduce noise, such as rubber or urethane. This can help create a more peaceful and enjoyable training environment for your members.

  5. Aesthetics: Gym flooring is a visual part of your facility and can be an opportunity to add some personality and style. Consider choosing flooring that matches your gym's branding or that has a color scheme that you like. This can help create a cohesive and visually appealing training environment in your gym.

The mats use 100% recycled truck tyres, and 1-2mm granules for the entire mat to keep the mat even and the granules are more contact point to the binder, which make it more flexible and durable.

  6. Maintenance: Proper maintenance is essential for keeping your gym flooring in good condition. Consider choosing a flooring solution that is easy to clean and maintain. This can help extend the lifespan of your flooring and save you money on repairs and replacements.

By choosing the right flooring solution, you can create a safe, functional, and appealing training environment in your gym.
