Keith Builds a Professional-Grade Home Gym with Rubber Tiles

When Keith of Atlanta, Georgia, wanted to create a home gym, he knew that he needed a flooring product with very specific qualities. Many rubber floor tiles for home gym products didn’t quite fit the bill, but Keith ultimately found the perfect product at Greatmats.

Finding the Right Rubber Floor Tiles for a Home Gym

Keith wanted a professional-quality flooring product for his home gym, and he performed extensive research to determine what the optimal product would look like. He wanted to avoid smaller, one-foot tiles, which would create the look of a regular tile floor.

“I looked at some larger ones and came across some gym owners using stall mats, but those don’t interlock,” he said. Since he was installing the gym floor over laminate, Keith wanted tiles that securely interlock together.

Additionally, the tiles needed to provide the traction Keith needed for HIIT workouts, weightlifting, and more, plus they needed to be durable enough to withstand having weights set down on them. Ultimately, Keith wanted the space to look like a professional gym.

“I found the absolute perfect product here,” Keith says of Greatmats. He chose the Geneva Rubber Tile Black 3/8 Inch x 3x3 Ft., a large tile that offered the professional gym aesthetic and overall convenience he wanted.

“The tiles are very large, so there’s not that many of them, but they also interlock perfectly,” says Keith. He says that the thickness has been perfect, and the tiles have a great feel and a great look.

The tiles have also contributed to his safety during workouts with their nonslip design. “I’ve never had these slip doing any sort of maneuver in the gym,” says Keith. “They’re the perfect sort of traction that I need for doing HIIT workouts.”

They’ve proven to be highly durable, too, since Keith estimates he’s owned the tiles for three or four years at this point. “They’ve held up perfectly doing HIIT workouts, doing weights on them, and providing the stability that I need,” he explains.

Keith hired a professional installer and said that they did an excellent job, and he also appreciated the customer service he received at Greatmats. “Greatmats has always provided exceptional client service that has exceeded my expectations,” says Keith. “They’re a great group of folks and were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Greatmats for all of your gym flooring needs.”

Why the Geneva Rubber Tiles are Ideal Rubber Floor Tiles for a Home Gym

As Keith discovered, there are many reasons why the Geneva Rubber Tiles are ideal for home gyms. Their 3x3-foot size not only creates the professional aesthetic that Keith was looking for, but it also allows the tiles to quickly cover larger rooms for a simplified installation.


The interlocking design makes the tiles versatile, and they support an easy DIY installation. That interlocking edge design means you can add on more tiles in the future if you decide to expand your floor, plus you can remove the tiles if needed. Since the edges interlock tightly and the tiles are generously sized, they stay in place well and don’t pull apart while in use. Edge pieces can create clean, finished edges for eye-catching wall-to-wall or island installations.

Measuring ⅜ inch thick, these tiles are highly durable and can withstand dropped weights of up to 80 pounds. They’re also suitable for use underneath stationary weight equipment. Since rubber absorbs noise and impacts, the tiles can contribute to a more enjoyable workout environment. The tiles are backed by a five-year manufacturer’s warranty, so you can invest in them with confidence.

Additionally, the tiles provide the traction athletes need to stay safe while they work out. As Keith found, they’re ideal for HIIT workouts, and that non-slip design helps maximize traction during tough workouts.

The tiles are manufactured with 90% post-consumer recycled material, making them an eco-friendly choice that may appeal to eco-conscious homeowners. They’re also suitable for use in commercial gyms, making them ideal for business owners who want to promote their facility’s use of environmentally friendly products.
