Beth’s Garage Gym Makeover with Home BJJ Mats

Garage gyms can be fantastic spaces to work out, giving you the convenience of a gym right at home. But one of the challenges of creating a garage gym is finding gym floor mats for garage floors that provide enough cushion. Garage floors are typically concrete, which isn’t ideal for exercise, and many mats lack the adequate cushion needed to keep you comfortable during workouts.



It’s a challenge that Beth of South Florida experienced firsthand. When Beth first bought mats for her garage gym conversion, she discovered that they were too hard when placed over her concrete floor. She wanted increased comfort and a flooring product that was better on her knees and joints.

As she planned her flooring upgrade, Beth discovered Greatmats on Google. A friend also recommended the Home BJJ Mats, quality foam mats that provide excellent shock absorption and cushion. Beth's friend already had the mats, so Beth was able to see them and purchase them confidently. The mats’ cost, color choices, and DIY-friendly installation also convinced Beth that they were the right choice.

“I love how easy it was to put them together,” Beth says of the mats. “I got to pick the color pattern that I wanted with these fun blue and red mats.” She explains that she figured out the pattern that she wanted and then just connected the mats together.

In addition to the easy installation, Beth found that the mats solved her problem. “I worked out for years on a very thin mat that was hard on my knees, and these mats are so much better,” she says, explaining that the mats offer great cushion and padding. “Whether I’m doing a cardio workout or I’m on the ground doing floor work, these mats are great.”

While Beth is pleased with the comfort that the mats offer, she adds that she was very happy with Greatmats, the customer service, and the delivery, too. “I would say that from choosing the mats to receiving and installing them, it’s been a great experience and a great improvement from my previous mat,” she says.

And the best part? Beth is back to her workouts and is much more comfortable than she was previously. “I am able to do cardio workouts with no pain,” she adds.

Why Home BJJ Mats Are Ideal Gym Floor Mats for Garage Spaces

Our Home BJJ Mats are a highly popular choice for garage gyms, and it’s easy to understand why - these mats have many important features that you’ll want in your gym floor.

Cushion and Comfort

Measuring 1.5 inches thick, these foam tiles feature a surface that’s firm enough for stand-up exercise but that also offers the cushion and shock absorption you need for floor exercises. The mats also feature a no-burn tatami surface to help prevent skin burns during floor exercises, further enhancing your comfort. The mat’s ergonomic design can help maximize your comfort while you work out, so you’re able to exercise comfortably for longer periods of time.

Traction

These mats create optimal traction for workouts, too. They’re not too sticky, but they’re also not too slick, providing you with the traction you need for enhanced workout safety.

Waterproof

Since the mats are waterproof, they’re perfect for garage gyms. The waterproof design means that spills are no problem to clean up, contributing to a hygienic floor. Plus, if your garage floods or if the mats are exposed to leaks, you won’t have to worry about them being damaged.

Color Options

Since the mats are double-sided and feature different colors on each side, it’s easy to create patterns and designs, as Beth did. Plus, if the mats are ever damaged or worn, you can flip them over to extend their lifespan and maximize the return on your investment in the flooring.

DIY Installation

These mats are easy to install, and the installation is quick, too. Their puzzle-style edges fit together easily, but the edges also tightly hold the mats in place so they won’t separate while in use. Each mat also includes two border strips, so you can create a clean, finished island installation. If you want to install them wall-to-wall, you can easily cut the mats to fit using a straight edge and a sharp utility knife.

Since the mats can be dry laid, you can uninstall them if needed. Measuring 2x2 feet, the mats are conveniently sized and can be easily stored away, too.
