In order to have the best experience participating in or even teaching online Zumba classes, having the right kind of flooring in place is key. You want something that will offer shock absorption and anti-fatigue benefits, and even a little bit of bounce.

PVC Fitness Flooring for Zumba

This product is waterproof, so it will not get damaged when you work up a sweat, and its raised base and lightweight design prevents water from getting trapped beneath it, making it a suitable option for a basement space to use for online Zumba. It also prevents the flooring from sliding over the carpet if you use it for a temporary installation.

Greatmats customer Kris of Golden, Colorado enjoys the cushion provided by the Staylock Orange Peel tiles as well as its ease of cleaning.
“We just have to use a dust mop or vacuum to remove debris,” Kris said. “We wash it with vinegar water and a damp cloth.”
Vinyl Fitness Flooring for Zumba



The UV protective coating on the tile’s surface prevents damage from sunlight, while the wear layer resists scratches and wear, resulting in a wood look that doesn’t need refinishing or maintenance.
This is also another great option for a basement gym, as its design allows water and air to flow underneath. When combined with a 3 to 6 mm rubber underlayment, this floor will provide extra cushioning and shock absorption properties for a more comfortable Zumba workout.
This really is a popular choice among Greatmats customers. Take Robin, for example, who wrote, “Because of the underlayment and the sprung quality of the floor, it’s really comfortable to dance on. We use the studio for Zumba, in addition to belly dance, and high-impact moves don’t hurt us at all.”
Foam Fitness Flooring for Zumba

These mats allow for a fast and easy install with their interlocking design, and they are double sided and low maintenance and prevent moisture absorption, mold, mildew, and odor.
Greatmats’ customer, Chad, raves about his Karate Mats. In his review, he writes, “The mats worked out great for us. We use them in a commercial gym classroom. We do yoga, kickboxing, and Zumba on them, and the members love them.”

As one happy Greatmats customer, Rebecca, writes, “I needed something with good cushioning support so my knees did not rebel while doing Zumba. The Home Sport and Play tiles filled the bill.”


Greatmats customer, Michael, describes this flooring best when he writes, “I was a little skeptical about the flooring at first. However, once I got it installed and my wife and I started working out to Zumba, it is the perfect floor. We have been working out almost every night, and it makes a huge difference in our ability to perform the moves with workout shoes on and not get caught up on the carpet like we used to.”
Rubber Fitness Flooring for Zumba

Greatmats’ customer, Rick, loves his rubber flooring roll, and he writes, “The ¼ inch black roll out matting has proven to be a versatile and durable flooring for our functional fitness area. Easily installed and very easy to maintain, the surface is textured enough to provide great grip for weight training, while still smooth enough for Zumba and Cardio Jam classes. A great product.”
