Outdoor gym mats and flooring are super essential in providing safe and comfortable surfaces on which to participate in athletics, sports, and playtime. Aside from outdoor playgrounds and sports courts and arenas, outdoor gym mats are used in other settings, as well. For example, since the outbreak of covid and social distancing regulations, many gyms and fitness instructors have taken their group workouts and classes outdoors. Where the fresh air and beauty of the outdoors are appealing, sometimes working out on uneven ground, a hole, mulch, or other ground surface vs. a flat one is less than ideal.

Greatmats offers a selection of outdoor gym mats that provide a perfect surface on which to work out and participate in athletics, with the following six being among the best:

1. Sterling Athletic Rubber Tile
2. Blue Sky Playground Interlocking Tile
3. StayLock Tile Perforated Colors
4. Ergo Matta Outdoor Perforated Tile
5. Greatmats Gym Turf Pro
6. UltraTile Rubber Weight Floor

Each of these 6 products offers a variety of applications and benefits, which we will highlight.
