What floor covering for a gym?

Gyms are a type of sports facility. These can be divided into large spaces and smaller ones, such as home gyms and rooms dedicated to individual workouts. Each of these facilities, if the owner is aware, should have floor protection – a gym floor covering.

What floor covering for a gym? – Our tips

Power Rubber offers high-quality, professional, and comfortable rubber mats that ensure stability during exercises.

The choice of the right floor covering depends on what will be done in the given facility: whether it is a fitness room, where the mat will be in the treadmill and bike areas or other gym machines, or if it is a crossfit facility where barbells will be dropped from heights of 180 cm and higher. The greater the intensity, the thicker the rubber training floor should be.

Recommendations for rubber mats

Mats for the free weight area

If dumbbells and barbells will be used in your gym, it is advisable to use rubber puzzle mats with thicknesses of 15 mm, 20 mm, or 25 mm.

Floor covering for fitness equipment

We recommend rolled mats with a thickness of 6 mm to 10 mm. This choice protects the floor while reducing purchasing costs.

Deadlift Mats

They protect the floor even when weights over 250 kg are dropped. We have tested this capability. If you train with heavier weights, feel free to contact us.

Puzzle Floor Covering for Gyms

The best floor for a gym should be durable and long-lasting. For your gym construction, the best choice is a rubber granulate floor. This material is extremely resistant to wear, dents, breaking, or cracking. Thanks to its flexibility, it won’t deform under prolonged pressure.

Rubber floor coverings provide excellent shock absorption, which protects the surface from damage and scratches. It adapts well to uneven floors, reduces the likelihood of long-term damage to equipment, and increases comfort during both dynamic and static training. This type of covering is easy to clean and maintain.

What floor for a home gym to reduce noise?

Puzzle mats are the ideal solution for a home gym, offering many advantages:

• Noise reduction

• Floor protection

• Protects neighbors (sound dampening)

• Does not absorb moisture

• Allows exercises with heavier weights at home (e.g., squats)

• Prevents injuries (shock absorption)

• Non-slip surface that minimizes the risk of slipping and falling

Rubber Floor for Gyms

It’s worth securing the floor or panels against the unpleasant consequences of dropping dumbbells or barbells. You can install them across the entire length or place equipment such as a bench press, treadmill, stationary bike, or wooden box on them.
