Don’t waste time getting into your car to drive to the gym anymore! With a home gym, you have nothing stopping you from starting your workout.

There are several different decisions to make when creating your own gym. But one of the most important choices you can make is the type of flooring that you use. The right flooring can make a huge impact in your workouts and on your subfloor.

Durable rubber home exercise room flooring can provide you with the protection your joints need during intense movements, provide comfort and traction during floor workouts, and keep your subfloor damage-free.

Gym flooring for home isn't your traditional flooring. Hardwood flooring, ceramic tiles, cement, and other traditional home flooring options can easily crack under pressure when dumbbells or barbells are dropped on them. Not to mention, a cold bare hard floor is pretty uncomfortable too. That's why you need flooring that's designed to stand the wear and tear of intense workouts and heavy equipment.

Here are the advantages of going with the rubber home gym flooring option:

• Durable

• Easy to install

• Provides shock absorption

• Easy to clean and maintain

• Provides traction to prevent injuries

• Water-resistant

• Absorbs sound

No gym flooring is designed the same. We offer non-toxic home gym flooring mats, rolls, and tiles that will provide the ultimate comfort and protection during your workout.

There are several different home gym flooring options.

If you need a soft spot to workout, foam flooring is a great option. It also works great in kids’ playrooms too. This flooring type is most often used for sports that need a place for a soft landing like martial arts or cheerleading.

Synthetic turf can also be used in a workout area. This type of flooring is good for CrossFit and HIIT workouts. It’s also great for speed and agility training.

This turf is mostly found in commercial gyms, but it can also work in a home gym space. However, it’s one of the most expensive options out there.

We offer home gym flooring for any type of workout, no matter how intense. One of the most important decisions you have to make when buying your floor is picking out the thickness. The thickness that you need will depend on the type of workout that you plan on doing.

Home Gym Tiles for Lightweight Workouts

Tiles are a great option for home gyms. They are ridiculously easy to install, and you still get the durable flooring that comes with choosing a rubber floor.

If you just plan on using light weights, then there's really no point in spending a ton of money on extra-thick flooring. The 1/3", 8mm, and foam tiles would be a great option for lightweights and floor workouts. You would still get high-quality gym flooring without having to break the bank.

Home Gym Tiles for Hardcore Workouts

If you're serious about your workouts, then you need a tile that provides serious protection.

Believe it or not, you don't need the thickest floor option out there for hardcore workouts. Anything from 8mm rubber tiles and up will do the trick.

If you plan on using heavy barbells and heavy equipment like treadmills, then it's best to use rubber over foam.

Home Gym Rubber Roll for Lightweight Workouts

While rubber rolls are another easy installation, they require a little more planning because they are pretty heavy. So, you may need a friend to come over and lend you a hand on installation day.

Rolls are a popular choice for home gyms because they tend to be a little cheaper. ¼" and 8mm rubber rolls are a great option for workouts with light weights. With this option, you'll get high-quality flooring with superior protection that will last for years to come.

Home Gym Rubber Roll for Hardcore Workouts

Rubber rolls are excellent for covering a large space. And even the toughest workouts are no match for this durable flooring. The good news is, you don't have to go the thickest option out there to get the best protection either. You can go up to 1" for ultimate protection, but 8mm will also give you the comfort you need for your floor and joints during those hardcore workouts in your home gym.

Home Gym Flooring Mats

If you don't have an entire room to dedicate to your gym, don't worry! You can easily use a home gym mat flooring to create an area to get your workout in. These mats are portable, so you can throw them down where you need to exercise and store them away when you aren't using them. You can also use them to slide under your treadmill to protect your subfloor.

You can use home gym flooring anywhere that you need to get your workout on! The great thing about rubber home gym flooring is that it can easily be customized to fit any area you need to use it in, and it can be made to fit at any budget that you need to stick to.

Here are some of the most commonly used areas for gym flooring for home use:

The same flooring that works in basements works great in garages too. However, both areas have cold, hard cement flooring, which isn’t comfortable to workout on. Home gym flooring for the garage and basements will add a layer of cushion and provide thermal protection for the best comfort.

Interlocking tiles and mats are great for garages, because you can take them out when you need to use them and store them away when you need to use your garage for something else other than exercise.

We understand that your space can be limited in apartments, that’s why we have flooring options that can easily be used in smaller spaces like home gym mat flooring and tiles.

Selecting the right gym flooring in your apartment unit is a pretty big deal. This flooring will help absorb noise, so you won’t bother your neighbors downstairs. Durable home gym flooring will also protect your subfloor, which is super important to do so you won’t have to pay for damages when it’s time to move out!

Give the kids their own space to play and roughhouse. You can use home gym flooring rubber options to provide a cushioned, comfortable space that adds an extra layer of protection for playing. It will also help prevent any painful floor burns.

Want to add a little personal style to the room? You can choose different colored tiles to create a fun pattern or design.

There are so many great benefits to having gym flooring in your home. One of those benefits is that it's super easy to install. So, you can save money by not having to hire someone to install your flooring and do it yourself!

Install home gym flooring rolls with rubber tape or glue:

• Clean your floor and make sure there isn't any debris or liquid on the floor.

• Lay the roll across the floor the way you want it to go.

• Trim any excess using a straight edge and a sharp utility knife.

• Apply the double-sided tape to the perimeter of each rubber roll, remove the paper from the tape, and push the adhesive to the floor. If using glue, make sure you roll up the rubber flooring roll and apply the glue in a 10-foot area. Keep doing this in 10-feet sections.

• Let the adhesive sit for an hour.

• Use a carpet roller or stomp down on the rubber to make sure the floor is firmly in place.

Install home gym flooring tiles:

• Clean the floor to make sure there's not any debris or liquid.

• Lock together your tiles and use a utility knife and a straight edge to cut any excess rubber.

Durability is one of the great things about home gym flooring, and so is the easy maintenance. All you need to do is sweep or vacuum up any dirt or debris as needed.

If you feel like you need to give your flooring a deep clean, you can do so with a neutral pH cleaner and a nylon or sponge mop that is damp. Just be sure not to soak the floor.
