Home Gyms

For most home as well as commercial gyms, rubber provides the widest range of benefits for use as a gym floor. Rubber has a high coefficient of friction in both dry and wet conditions, meaning it stays slip resistant even when users are sweating heavily during their workouts. Rubber’s natural density provides much better sound absorption than vinyl, tile, and similar hard surfaces, helping to minimize sound in the gym itself, as well as in adjacent rooms. Rubber’s natural resiliency increases users’ comfort during floor exercises, cushioning knees and ankles from impact and allowing users to work out longer, harder- and safer. Finally, rubber’s durability provides outstanding protection to damage from free weights and heavy strength equipment to concrete basement floors as well as to expensive hardwood floors.
