Types of Rubber Gym Floor Rolls

At Greatmats, we carry many different designs of gym rubber floor rolls.

Rubber Rolls

Our basic rubber rolls are extremely popular and useful in many different situations. The Geneva Rubber Flooring Roll has multiple color fleck options embedded in the black. Each roll only measures 3/8 of an inch in thickness, simplifying installation. This roll comes in several other thickness options.

The 24-hour Snap Fitness facility installed this Geneva roll at its new facility in Wisconsin, creating flooring that remains highly durable while protecting the subfloor.

Another fitness center, Motion Fitness of Minnesota, installed our Geneva flooring in a 5,000-square-foot facility that offers a variety of workout options. The center’s owners liked the ability to save money by installing the durable floor themselves.

Plyometric Rolls

Plyometric rubber rolls provide a type of flooring that protects the lower body joints of athletes during this challenging workout style. Our Geneva Plyometric Rubber Roll is available in thickness measurements of 6 mm, 3/8 inches, and 1/2 inches.

Momentum Fitness of Wisconsin relied on Greatmats for this Geneva flooring, selecting it for its versatility, durability, and ease of cleaning. The owner appreciated the affordable shipping options Greatmats offered for the hefty rubber flooring.

Impact Zone Lifting Platform Rubber Roll

When you want to create a weightlifting drop zone in your gym, our Impact Zone Lifting Platform Rubber Roll absorbs the force in moderate-to-heavy impact zones. The 14.5 mm (or 1.2 inches) thick material protects the subfloor from damage during the use of free weights.

Turf Rolls With Rubber Base

Rolls of artificial turf with a rubber base are popular for workouts where athletes need protection for their lower body joints. Our FlexTurf Motivate Turf Roll is available in several turf colors, featuring a nylon-bonded rubber that delivers sound and shock absorption to make workouts more comfortable.

Our RageTurf Rally Roll uses a polyethylene turf and rubber base layer combination to provide maximum durability. It’s ideal for footwork drills and sled workouts.

Vinyl Roll With Rubber Base

Vinyl rolls that have a rubber base layer are highly durable while yielding a little bit of cushioning. Products like our Athletic Vinyl Padded Roll are commonly used for basketball or volleyball floors, as the top vinyl layer can be made to mimic the look of wood or stone.

Rubber Gym Flooring Rolls Q&A

What makes rubber flooring rolls good for gyms?

Rubber flooring rolls are good for gyms because they are durable, have a low cost, and provide environmental benefits by using recycled materials. They’re also versatile, making them ideal for many workout stations around a fitness center.

Are rubber flooring rolls for gyms cheap?

Rubber rolls for gyms are cheap because they have a low cost per square foot compared to other types of flooring. However, commercial rubber flooring rolls do not have a “cheap” construction, as they consist of heavy-duty recycled rubber that delivers the best mix of value and durability.

How thick should rubber gym flooring rolls be?

The best thickness for rubber commercial gym flooring rolls depends on how you plan to use them. A rubber mat roll 8 mm in thickness works well for exercise machines and free weights up to 120 pounds. For intentional weight dropping, you might need to stack multiple rolls of rubber totaling at least 3/4 of an inch thick or a thick mat.

How should you clean rubber gym rolls?

To clean rubber gym rolls in a home gym or fitness center, start by sweeping or vacuuming dust and debris. You can then mop the industrial rubber rolls with a neutral pH cleaning solution. Some people will use a scrubbing machine for deep cleaning, although a mop that doesn’t leave behind lint works well for most people.

How do you install rubber flooring rolls over tile or concrete?

When installing roll-out rubber flooring over concrete or tile, you can simply roll it over a smooth subfloor. Cut it to fit with a utility knife and a straight edge. Some people adhere it to the subfloor, but thicker rolled rubber that’s 3/8 or 1/2 of an inch thick may be heavy and strong enough to remain in place without adhesive, especially if you have exercise equipment sitting on top of it. Our rubber flooring experts can advise you on which products work for dry lay installations and which require adhesive.
