Rubber Gym Flooring & Equipment Mats

Find Out More About Rubber Gym Flooring and Equipment Mats

Whether you’re working out on the go or setting up a home gym, rubber gym floor mats can be a big help. These mats sit between the floor and you or an exercise machine, offering protection and cushioning. The key is to find the mat that is well-suited for your exercise style.

Types of rubber gym floor mats for sale

Some types of new and preowned mats include:

  • Yoga mats: Yoga mats are small mats designed to fit a single person. Usually, they’re made from soft rubber. This material prevents the hands and feet from slipping in different yoga positions; it also keeps your body off dirty floors and creates a layer of cushioning. Yoga mats can also be used for general stretching, weight training, and other floor exercises.
  • Interlocking tiles: These tiles, which are often crafted from foam and rubber, are designed to cover large areas of a floor. The interlocking sides enable you to link tiles together for a tighter fit.
  • Rolled flooring: This type of flooring comes on large rolls; that way, you can cover a large room quickly and affordably. You might use these mats underneath interlocking tiles or on their own. They protect your original flooring from stress due to floor exercises or gym equipment.
  • Equipment mats: Gym equipment mats on eBay are thick pieces of rubber that fit under large devices such as treadmills or elliptical machines. They prevent the equipment from scratching or denting your floor; they also help reduce movement due to the machine’s vibrations.
Things to consider when buying floor mats

Whether you’re looking for upscale or cheap floor mats for a gym, think about these factors:

  • Surface: Check out the type of surface the mat has, both on the front and back. Rubber non-slip floor mats are a great way to increase the stability of a weight bench or treadmill; textured mats can help you maintain your grip.
  • Colour: Gym mats come in a range of colours. Large-scale models often come in standard colours such as black, blue, or grey. Yoga mats, on the other hand, are available in a wide range of colours and patterns.
  • Size: Read the eBay listing carefully to figure out the size of the mat, particularly if you’re buying flooring rolls. If you’re getting interlocking tiles, make sure you’re getting enough to cover your gym floor.
Can all gym floor mats support exercise equipment?

No. Since exercise machines tend to be very heavy, they require a sturdy mat. Look for mats that are marked as “heavy duty” or “high impact”. It’s also a good idea to look through the listing to find a weight rating. Finding the right mats for your equipment can prevent costly floor damage.
