Find Out How to Minimize Elliptical Vibration Cheaply and Quickly

While some amount of noise is automatically associated with the gym, it is hard to live with the noise of even the best home elliptical. Unlike going to a commercial gym, any noise from a home gym can interrupt your family or your neighbors’ lives. After the expensive cost of fitness equipment and the hassle of installation, it is easy to see why a homeowner would try other alternatives than having to scrap their hard earned gym. Luckily there is an easy solution to reduce heavy equipment such as treadmill or elliptical noise! By installing a thick elliptical mat directly underneath your equipment, elliptical vibration noise will dramatically decrease with the extra layer of cushion underneath it. This durable mat for exercise equipment is a heavy-duty rubber mat for the following four reasons:

1. Cushion: Most commercial gyms will use rubber flooring under all their machines rather than directly on hardwood floors or concrete. This is because the cushion of the rubber flooring is forgiving, meaning it will flex and adjust to the machines that are moving on top of them. An elliptical vibrates and shakes as it is in use; this is true of even the most expensive, top of the line equipment. With a layer of cushion in between the machine and the hard subsurface, the vibration waves are absorbed into the elliptical mat to stop them from hitting the floor and creating noise. While it is impossible to have a completely silent machine when working out, installing a rubber mat will create a soft cushion that absorbs the noise from the machine.

2. Protection: Not only do the vibration waves create excessive noise, they also cause damage to both your home floors as well as the machine itself. After already dealing with the large cost of fitness equipment, it would be illogical to allow any sort of damage to happen that is preventable. Adding a rubber layer in between the machine and the hard floors will reduce any amount of damage from use dramatically so that your machine will have a longer lifespan than if it were constantly rattling on the hard floors. With a layer in between the vibrating machine and your floors, the mat acts as a floor protector pad as well. The metal and plastic parts of the machine will not scrape against the floor. Many rubber elliptical mat products are made from recycled rubber that comes from discarded car tires in waste dumps. These tires were engineered to withstand harsh environments and hours spent rolling over uneven floors; to say they are durable would be an understatement. These tough mats can withstand even the most vigorous of workouts from the most intense users.
3. Grip: Elliptical vibration can also be dangerous on top of just being pesky. You can only imagine the dangers of a machine that is moving around while someone is using it. By adding a rubber mat, you securely lock the machine into place. Rubber has a naturally high coefficient of friction so it will grip the heavy machine as well as the subsurface below to ensure that your equipment is safer to use. The rubber mats are also heavy enough that they do not need extra adhesives and can be temporary flooring. This is ideal for anyone who does not want a permanent area for the home gym but rather something they can take out quickly and put back easily.
4. Cost Effective: While purchasing a mat for exercise equipment may sound expensive, rubber mats are actually reasonably priced in comparison to the cost of machinery. An elliptical mat is not only cost effective but will last for a long time regardless of the heavy abuse that they may endure. We think our mats may outlast your machine!

Clearly then, considering the cost of fitness equipment and the potential damage which elliptical vibration can cause, it would be a wise decision to invest in a mat for exercise equipment that you can find. In order to reduce vibrations, as well as eliminate the elliptical noise than can come from even the best home elliptical machine, you’ll need a rubber mat to do the job!
