Exercise equipment mats are an indispensable part of almost any commercial gymnasium. These rubber mats are purpose-built for use in protecting fitness center floors (wood, carpet, metal, etc.) from the damaging effects of heavy exercise equipment. Workout equipment such as Smith Machines, bench presses, squat racks, and more are seriously capable of damaging exercise floors, and need to be treated with caution during both their installation and continued implementation. It is for the purpose of abating as much potential damage as possible that gym owners everywhere turn to the heavy-duty rubber floormat.
The biggest benefit of using thick exercise equipment mats when it comes to heavy equipment is that rubber mats are fully capable of absorbing and redirecting the potentially damaging effects of heavy weight. Rubber is a material with a naturally high flexibility and “stretch ratio,” meaning that it can withstand extreme pressure and weight better than conventional flooring. This is why you will see rubber exercise equipment mats being used in all sorts of gyms (or, at least, gyms that feature machines and other workout equipment of notable size).

Exercise Equipment Mats
Though most “standard” rubber mats rarely exceed 1/2 inch or so in thickness, exercise equipment mats are fully capable of regularly exceeding up to 1 inch. This sheer amount of cushioning makes them suitable for use in even the most intensive of circumstances. Indeed, exercise equipment mats can even be used in wrestling or martial arts studios to provide an important layer of safety for physically competing practitioners of these sports. It is clear that – in virtually any sort of fitness environment – the rubber floormat has a home.
Though most specific exercise equipment mats share a similar trait (that trait being, again, their severe thickness), they can vary in many other aspects. This variance means that is important that you – the consumer- perform your research when attempting to determine with rubber floormat is most suitable for you and your situation. Just as exercise floors themselves can vary in size, shapes, and style, so, too, can the rubber mats that are placed on top of them. Many exercise equipment mats typically range in size in terms of length and width, and you should check with the manufacturer of a specific mat before purchasing to see if they have the size your require. However, some other kinds of matting (tile rubber, primary) have the option of being combined with other rubber mats, thereby increasing their total surface area. Furthermore, rubber matting/flooring may also –depending on the manufacturer- feature a variety of different styles and/or surface designs; with a little effort, even the most discerning costumer is sure to find a type of rubber floor matt they love.
Another benefit that many consumers may not realize upon first glance is the sheer lifespan length of commercial rubber. Tile and mats made from recycled rubber are renowned for their durability and longevity. This means that it could be literal years before you – the consumer- will need to change out your rubber matting/flooring. This makes exercise equipment mats a truly smart purchase that provides an almost unprecedented return on investment over the course of their lives.
We know how important preserving the wellbeing of your exercise floors is to you. It is for that exact reason that we are confident you will greatly appreciate what these rubber mats are capable of!
