Rubber Fitness Mats

Greatmats offers a wide selection of rubber fitness mats in many styles. Different thickness options yield varying amounts of subfloor protection.

Interlocking Rubber Mats for Gym

1. No adhesive is required.
   
2. Various thicknesses deliver the proper protection to subfloors from dropped kettlebells.
   
3. Can be cut with a knife to fit precise spaces.

The puzzle edge on these rubber mats for the gym makes them convenient to install, making them a favorite choice for residential applications such as home gyms. These can be dry-laid without adhesives, and they stack nicely in small spaces like closets or are easily transported in car trunks or in the back of an SUV. These are especially convenient if you're planning to relocate someday.

Installing these interlocking tiles is a piece of cake. Simply piece them together like a jigsaw puzzle, press along the seams to connect, and it’s done. For a tight-to-the-wall installation, easily cut them with a utility knife and a straight edge for a customized fit. For thicker units, placing a 2x4 board underneath the slice can help with the cutting process.

Plyometric Rubber Mats for Gym

1. Softer, more forgiving surface that protects joints.
   
2. Requires no glue, so installation is simple and makes a great DIY project.
   
3. Material is designed to withstand the weight of workout equipment.

Ours is less dense than others and is specifically designed for aerobics and plyometrics. This rubber exercise mat provides fatigue relief for jumping, running, and other aerobic exercises. The softer surface delivers better comfort than traditional flooring.

This helps to protect the athlete, as it is an excellent tool to help reduce the risk of injury to an athlete's bones and joints.

Rubber Roll Models

1. Receive excellent value in rolls.
   
2. It can be installed with tape or adhesive, if desired.
   
3. The larger size results in fewer seams, making it ideal for large locations.

This is a popular option for commercial gyms because of its size and fast layout. It can be installed with either adhesive or tape, but this is not always necessary, as a dry lay is also possible. We offer a pre-cut and pre-packaged roll that is 4x10 ft. x 1/4 inch in size for residential usage.

Thick Rubber Mats for Gym

1. Superior material that can withstand the use of heavy free weights such as dumbbells and barbells.
   
2. More durable than thinner units, these maximize the investment.

For large facilities where Olympic weightlifting takes place or where heavy weights are regularly dropped, we suggest our 3/4'' thickness.

This style of high-density rubber mat has excellent protective qualities.

Styles

There are plenty of choices in terms of both color and style. The most economical option is confetti, which is manufactured from recycled tires. Scraps from other rolls and whitewalls from tires are also added to the batch. This creates a random and indiscriminate hodgepodge of color throughout the roll. For an area where protective flooring is required but aesthetics are not a concern, confetti will be economical.

Various models are also available with different color fleck concentrations. Choose from a wide variety of colors. Some products offer various percentages of colors, whereas others are only available in black.

Alternatives to Rubberized Flooring

If you're looking for softness in a home gym or commercial installation, consider our high-end EVA foam tiles. Although they are simple to install, these are not advised for use in high-traffic areas or where athletes will be dropping heavy weights because they don't offer the same durability as rubber gym flooring rolls.

Shipping depends on the specific product ordered and the quantity needed. Some will ship via ground service. Larger units ship via freight delivery.

Some gym mat selections are in stock and ready to ship out in a few days. Others, especially custom orders, will need several weeks for production time. Please consult with one of our gym specialists for assistance.

FAQ Rubber Mats for Gym Q&A

What are the best home gym floor mats?
Interlocking gym mats are a smart choice for use under both treadmills and weight benches. Most users opt for standard 8mm or 3/8 inch thicknesses in rubber floor mats. All rubber gym mats have a number of advantages for this use case, including:

1. Protects the investment in both the subfloor and the weightlifting equipment.
   
2. Establishes the weightlifting room as a professional facility.
   
3. Revitalizes older gyms with a new professional design.

How thick should rubber mats for gym equipment be?
Consider the use case planned for the area. A commercial gym flooring mat that’s needed to hold weight racks for barbells and other heavy machines and equipment may need to be 3/4'' or 1/2'' thick. For areas that don’t need to support big items, 1/4'' will probably be adequate.

What do you put under exercise machines for floor protection?
If hefty dumbbells or heavy-duty workout machines over 100 pounds will be regularly used on them, then it's best to upgrade to a 1/2'' or 3/4'' unit to provide extra protective features. Additionally, these will:

1. Improve the usefulness of a training spot.
   
2. Build a space for workouts by converting a garage or basement.
   
3. Revitalize an old athletic space.

How do you clean large rubber workout mats?
This material is easy to clean. Start by sweeping or vacuuming up debris. Use a mop and a neutral pH cleaner next. For stubborn stains, use a scrub brush. Allow it to air dry.
