Commercial Gym Flooring Q&A

What is the best thickness for gym flooring?

The best thickness for gym flooring depends on the planned use case. Thicker materials measuring 3/4 of an inch are important for protecting the subfloor from free weights. For martial arts mats and aerobics, flooring of an inch in thickness is helpful. Plyometric workouts may use thinner flooring.

What is the best flooring for a commercial gym?

The best flooring for a commercial gym includes rubber and artificial turf. Rubber is durable, offers excellent traction, and delivers limited cushioning. Artificial turf is good for sports, sprinting, and sled workouts where you want a feel and look that mimics natural grass. Both designs are excellent commercial-grade gym flooring options.

What kind of flooring is used in commercial gyms?

The best kind of gym flooring in commercial locations is usually rubber, as it protects the subfloor, provides maximum durability, and offers traction for athletes. It absorbs noise too, which can be important when you’re sharing the space with other businesses.

What is the difference between gym flooring material types?

The difference between professional gym flooring material types is that rubber is extremely durable and offers maximum traction. Foam tiles are cushioned and will not soak up moisture. PVC plastic offers some of the best features of both rubber and foam flooring when used in a gym. Polypropylene plastic has a firm surface that’s ideal for sports flooring. Carpet gym flooring offers excellent traction and durability. It usually includes a padded backing to deliver fatigue relief.

What are the best rubber gym flooring options?

The best rubber gym flooring options will have a thickness that matches the planned use case. General workouts can use 1/4-inch-thick rubber, while using large free weights may require 3/4-inch-thick or thicker rubber. Thick rubber is more durable than thinner rubber while delivering better noise and vibration reduction. Thick rubber costs more and is far heavier, though.
