The bump top tiles are just what I was looking for in my workout space. They look great and functional well over the carpeted floor. Installation was easy as well.

So happy with the result. I covered the carpet with the StayLock mat and the result is fantastic. As you can see in the pictures, I couldn't cover the whole room (because of the measurements) and I was worried for the mat to slip with the weight of the equipment and the movement. But, I have been exercising for almost 2 weeks with no issues so far. The floor is so firm to jump the rope, do jumping jacks and mountain climbers, but you better use a yoga mat for burpees, which won't slip based on my own experience. I fully recommend Greatmats, they have a wonderful customer service to answer all your questions in case you have doubts about what mats works better for you.

We renovated our basement level workout room and wanted something that provide space between the cement floor and the flooring. We had mats down in a couple of areas but it was always damp underneath. The order was filled and shipped within a couple of days and it was very easy to install.

I got these tiles for my home gym in the basement which was freshly carpeted by the landlord. Didn’t want to damage the carpet or get it removed so installed these over the carpet based on reading reviews from others. They’ve held up really well so far and I’m glad that I made this purchase.

Great Buy! I was a little hesitant with the price but I would definitely buy it again. Durable, sturdy over carpet, easy to install, and looks great.

Great product! Tiles were easy to install over carpet and I love the look!

Great company and great product. Very good communication about delivery expectations. The tile estimator is such a great tool and was a perfect count with a cushion to cut for edges and a few if I need to replace anything. My gym flooring went right over the carpet as advertised. I'm very happy with my experience!

Excellent Experience
I had an excellent experience from the outset. From ordering to delivery, everything was an A+. Special thanks to Ryan for all the help. The tiles are amazing and the floor looks awesome!!

Converted a room into a small fitness area but couldn’t find a durable mat or foam tiles that wouldn’t slide on the carpet. After reading positive reviews of the StayLock Bump Top Tile I ended up ordering one case to try out and after a month of doing various workouts it has been the perfect solution. Installation was a breeze with one case giving me a 6’x4’ mat area and two extra tiles for the dumbbells. Highly recommended for someone looking for durable, easy to clean yet simple to install fitness tiles on carpeted floors.

I purchased StayLock Tiles Bump for my home gym, and I'm impressed! They were easy to install with no tools needed. The tiles provide great cushioning and support for strength training, pilates, and aerobics. They stay in place well, and I’m planning to buy more to cover the entire floor. Highly recommend for a durable workout space!

I recently purchased the StayLock Bump Top Black 1x1 tiles for my lower-level gym, and I’m so impressed! The tiles worked perfectly over my carpet, and the interlocking system was super easy to use.
The bump top surface gives great grip, which is perfect for workouts, and it looks awesome too. My order was shipped out fast and arrived in just a few days, which was a nice bonus as well.
I’m planning to add the border edge soon to finish it off. I’d definitely recommend Greatmats!

StayLock Tile Bump mats are great! They were very easy to assemble and provide a stable surface for our exercise equipment while protecting the carpet.

Great mates. Works well with carpet. I enjoy working out on it. Very durable.

The StayLock Tiles from Greatmats form a solid interconnected surface that doesn't come apart during my workout sessions. Installation of the flooring was fairly quick and easy. My indoor bike feels stable on the tiles whether I am speeding along or pushing hard out of the saddle up a hill. Floor exercises and weight training sessions feel like working out on a gym floor. The StayLock Tiles are an excellent flooring option if you are planning to setup a gym in your home over existing carpeting.

I bought the StayLock Tile Bump Top Black tiles for my home gym. I was specifically looking for mats that would not slip on carpet. I am using it on a newly carpeted finished basement. My husband and I do aerobic / boxing exercises and needed a firm floor over carpet. I had tried some other cheaper interlocking mats and it would just slide on the carpet. Although this was more expensive, it was definitely worth the price. Hasn't moved an inch since we put it down after numerous workouts.

These tiles are great on carpet. They give a solid feel when lifting.

We installed StayLock bump top tiles as our gym floor, and we are extremely satisfied with this product. The flooring was easy to install, and provides a comfortable and sturdy surface for exercising. Despite being installed over a medium pile carpet, the flooring withstands the weight of an exercise bike as well as a freestanding punching bag (which is over 200 pounds) with no issues. Even after eight months of use, the flooring looks like new and has functioned perfectly.

The StayLock Bump Top Tiles are a game changer for my home gym area. They are exactly what I was looking for to go over carpet that I do not want to rip out. The install was super quick and easy. I will be purchasing more to expand the area even further. Could not be happier with my purchase.

I recently purchased a set of StayLock tiles to install over carpet in my office. They installation process was simple. These are easily the best quality tiles I have found. They look great and feel great underfoot. No complaints!

After a month long search for something to put over semiplush carpet, I came across great mats. Customer service is great. The rep helped me find a product and reviewed measuring to determine how much was necessary. I went with 5% overage luckily because so miscut squares. I got the staylock bump top tile and border for the doorway.

Overall installation took me about five hours for a 10x10 room with wall to wall installation. I stopped to buy a better utility knife to cut the tile. Some pieces clicked easily, others not so much. I found it easier to place a piece of wood underneath the pieces that would not click easily.

The tile stays in place and does not come apart at the seams. It is extremely stable over my carpet. It is comfortable to jump on for cardio. I do put a yoga mat down if kneeling for floor work. There was a slight odor that went away after a day.

My workout room is great with the mats, and my carpet is protected.

Great customer service and help deciding what to get and how much. My order came within the week. I got the staylock bump tile and border.

I ordered 5% overage which was good because I cut two pieces wrong. And yes, I measured right, turned the pieces before I cut them.

The tile took me about 6 hours to install in a 10 by 10 room. I did have to make many cuts to get wall to wall and fit around a closet and registers. Make sure your utility blade is new or it will be difficult to cut. I ended up going to the store to get a new heavy duty one.

My hands are bruised and sore, it is difficult to get some of the locks to click, probably my fault since I installed over semi plush carpet. It helped to put a piece of flat wood under the locking part before pressing down. The tiles are secure over the carpet.

Also, I had to plane the bottom of the door.

Overall four stars. It is hard to find tile for over carpet.

Overall, I am happy with my purchase. The tiles are a bit difficult to fit together - especially the border pieces.I highly recommend using a hammer and not your thumbs or palms of hands. Sturdy construction. Time will tell if my desk chair creates permanent dents in that area of the floor.

Love the product! Installed it myself and looks great and perfect for our gym space!

These are great over carpet. Easy to install and provide a sturdy flat surface without ruining the carpet underneath. Able to withstand several pieces of equipment as well as weights, etc.

I needed a flooring tile that would work on top of carpet. This product works great.

I'm finally getting around to reviewing these floor tiles after around 2 months of use. Short version: These mats have been amazing compared to the foam tiles we are used to. I'm very happy with these, even installed on top of carpet (medium pile with a quality pad) -- a little more on this below.

For comparison sake, between my wife and I (and sometimes the older kids) will do many of the Beachbody On Demand workouts on these mats, weights, cardio, yoga, etc.

Our workout area in the basement is carpeted and so we've always had something covering the carpet to protect it. For years we've used foam tiles but have always been mildly frustrated with them for various reasons, such as:
* The entire mat scoots around while exercising. We've generally put weights on each corner, which helps, but doesn't solve it
* The tiles will separate from each other, and the tiles that take the most abuse deform so they don't fit together well anymore
* We've tried taping the tiles together on the bottom side, but then when they deform you have areas that bubble up.
* Sometimes they eventually pull apart from the tape and the sticky residue will stick to the carpet
* They make balancing moves more challenging because you sink into them wherever you stand

When our most recent set of foam tiles wore out, I started shopping around for alternatives and decided to buy these tiles. While they were a lot more expensive (2-3x) than the foam tiles, they have turned out to be so much better. These solve every problem we had with the foam tiles that I mentioned above:
* The shipping weight for the 10x10 area (including edges) was about 170 lbs., so the entire mat is heavy enough that it does not move no matter what we do. Make sure you install it where you want it, because it is not easy to move as 1 piece.
* The tiles do not separate at all. Because they are on carpet, when you step near a seam you can feel one tile get pushed a couple millimeters lower than the other. I only notice if I'm barefoot. I've never noticed with shoes and it isn't enough to catch your foot or make the hooks disconnect.
* While (directly on carpet) these tiles will sink in a little bit where you are standing, they are much easier to balance on than foam tiles.
* Cleaning them is easy -- I can just vacuum right over them (whereas the foam pads would get sucked up enough to block airflow), or even wipe down areas that need it.

The only cons I can think of for these mats, besides the slight movement on carpet, are:
* Since these mats are plastic, they aren't as comfortable for kneeling or laying down moves, especially with weights. Make sure you have an impact mat or a few foam tiles that you can kneel or lay on to make it more comfortable.
* Strength slides (at least the ones I have, which are hard plastic on one side, and a foam on the other -- supposed to work on carpet or hard floors) don't work on them due to the bump top. Fortunately, I have a small area that is tile where I can use those.
* They take a bit of work to install, since there are 2 hooks each side of every tile and we had 100 of them. I eventually got into a groove using the head of a hammer as a pressing tool. I probably can't explain it well, but in short, I'd line up the hooks, use the hammer head to push one side of the hook in at a 45 degree angle, and then roll the hammer head to the other side. The ''pounding with a rubber mallet'' method doesn't work well on carpet).
* Due to the above installation, you also won't get them up quickly so consider this a long-term installation.

Overall, I am WAY happier with these than any of the tiles I've tried over the last 10+ years and I highly recommend these to anyone else who set up a workout area inside their house.

As an Active Duty Military member I move around a lot so the usual solutions for gym flooring tend to be large, heavy, and not easily adaptable - these mats are the opposite. I originally ordered them to go over some carpet in a basement. Now that we have moved they are over a tile floor in a completely different configuration. No complaints thus far - it's a great product for those looking for a gym flooring solution.

New gym flooring is in!! It was time for an upgrade! The stuff we previously had would shift, buckle and sometimes come apart. This stuff is made just for our carpeted floors. I can not wait to get a workout in!

I’ve become very familiar with the stay lock flooring. I ordered it for a park district fitness center that I managed and when I opened my own studio it was a no-brainer. The flooring stands up to just about any activity and looks great!

Finally got it all installed. I love it.

Our goal is to slowly convert a home office space into a weight room. After extensive research and several samples later, we decided on the staylock bumptop. We started with 52 pieces to try before fully committing. We love it! We're really excited about the product and excited to see how the space will turn out when totally complete. We have a few more purchases to make to cover the whole floor but are thrilled so far.

My husband and I were looking for the perfect flooring solution to place over carpet in a home gym on the second floor of our home. This is the perfect solution. It assembles easily and the pieces lock securely. WE have a long way to go to complete the project but are very happy with the results so far.

Can't believe I put this bad boy together by myself. ... They have held up really well. ... It doesn't slide at all on the carpet.

Very durable, easy to install, and easy to clean! Perfect mats for the small home gym I created.

My Tools Used: A box knife, a straight edge metal yard stick, a pencil, and a board to cut on.

My Method Used: I laid down all the full locking pieces I could and then precisely measured the wall-to-mat-gaps. I matched the measurements to each square piece (top side up) using two pencil marks per square (one on each end). I laid my pieces on a board and lined my metal yard stick up to each of the two pencil marks on each end. I pressed very firmly on the yard stick and pressed firmly on my box knife, repeating the cut until separated. The key here is to never move your yard stick once you start your first cut. If you move it, your repeated cuts through the rubber will be crooked. I was able to use on side of the box knife blade for the entire room. Slices like butter and I didn't lose any fingers... whew! Be careful using this method. Other methods might make it easier such as using an electric skill saw as they do for laying wood floors down.

My square footage estimates for the entire order allowed me one extra rubber square after making a few mistakes along the way so the project was a success.

Very happy with my purchase of this product. The mats seem like they will last through much abuse and I'm not afraid to get them scratched up over time as they have a rugged look anyhow. Easy to sweep and wipe clean so now I can sweat buckets without worrying about our new carpet.

I highly recommend this product!

The StayLock Bump Top mats proved to be the perfect foundation for my new home gym. I wanted something that would protect my carpet from sweat, yet provide a solid platform for riding my bike, lifting weights, and jumping around doing HIIT training. These StayLock mats meet all of that criteria while elevating the look and feel of my home gym to that of a professional one. Additionally, Beth with customer service was extremely helpful in determining the proper quantity of pieces that I needed and finding me a reasonable shipping quote. The installation was fairly easy and took me a little over 2 hours to install 90 sqft.

We had our basement refinished one year ago. At that time, we decided to use rubber mats we already had purchased. Since the mats were on top of carpet, they continued move and separate and we decided that our home gym needed something more permanent. We purchased and installed the Staylock Bump Top Black mats. They were extremely easy to install and it gave our basement a professional home gym look.
