Are you looking to create the ultimate home gym? You may want to consider doing it in your garage. Garages typically have a sturdy subfloor, with little to no concern of damage to the floor. There is also often a higher ceiling than basements have, making it better for some fitness equipment and certain exercise programs.

Building a garage gym has other benefits like privacy, money savings from not having to join a gym, sound separation from the rest of your home, and more. With the simple addition of some garage gym mats, exercise equipment, and weights, your garage can be transformed into an amazing workout space.

Greatmats features a variety of garage gym mats that would be suitable for your new space. Although many flooring options would work, there are 5 mat options that are the most popular for use in a garage gym.

Gym Floor Workout Fitness Tile

An excellent solution for an economical and durable garage gym mat flooring system is the workout fitness tile with a pebble surface.

This flooring is extremely versatile. It can be installed wall-to-wall, or, as an island installation to go under exercise machines or weights. The pebble top tiles each measure 2x2 feet, creating almost 4 square feet of coverage area per tile.

This flooring is easy to keep clean by sweeping or using a gentle vacuum to remove debris, as needed. For a more extensive cleaning, you can damp mop the tiles using hot water and a common household, bleach-free floor cleaner.
