2 OPTIONS FOR HOME GYM FLOORING

2 OPTIONS FOR HOME GYM FLOORING

As u well know ,there are a wide variety of floor covering options available for use as home gym flooring and often times picking out the right solution can seem like a difficult task. The Two most popular flooring options for use in home gym and exercise rooms are carpet, foam flooring. Learn all about the benefits of each option, and choose the right fit for you!

1. Carpet Tiles

Carpet is the most popular floor covering option in America. All purpose, relatively inexpensive, comfortable to the touch, and fairly easy to clean and maintain; carpet is an excellent home gym flooring solution. Low pile carpet is best for use in areas where exercise takes place. It is usually a little more course to the touch. However, it is usually much more durable compared to fluffy shag or even soft Berber style carpets often found in homes. Commercial grade carpet also works very well for home gyms due to its tight knit loops. One other form of carpet often used for exercise flooring is carpet tiles. These tiles interlock and can be easily installed by the average person.

Benefits of carpet tiles in a home gym:

Carpet tiles are available in a wide array of colors, durable enough to last for many years, and soft enough for young kids to play on while Mom and Dad get their workout in. Carpet is also a favorite gym flooring option since it is a floor covering that the average home user completely understands and already knows how to take care of.

Drawbacks of carpet tiles in a home gym:

Carpet tiles need to be installed by a professional carpet installer. They can stretch over time under strenuous use and require a carpet installer to re stretch the carpet, and can hold moisture and require a professional cleaning every few years. One particular tricky spot for using carpet as home gym flooring is in basements. Over the years, we have heard from numerous Midwest customers that their basement flooded and that the carpet they had installed in their basement home gym was ruined. These individuals are often looking for a solution to prevent a similar situation from happening in the future which leads to:

2. Foam Flooring

Foam flooring is most often sold in interlocking tiles and mats. The tiles are most commonly referred to as soft tiles, foam tiles, or puzzle lock tiles, and can be easily installed by a home owner in mere minutes. Foam is available in many thicknesses and bright, fun color options.

Foam is very low in cost, easy to clean, and offers enough comfort and cushion to provide a soft flooring solution for home gym users who do a lot of floor work such as sit-ups and stretching. Foam floor tiles also double as an excellent kid’s play area flooring solution due to their safe surface and excellent shock absorption qualities. Many home users also choose foam tiles since many colors can often be locked together to form custom designs such as checkerboard patterns or border patterns. Foam tiles are also light weight portable and can be used as an interlocking foam mat for individuals needing a temporary workout mat in a living room or family room when doing Pilates, yoga, P90X, or aerobics.

Drawbacks of foam flooring:

Foam Floor mats and tiles, while very popular for the home user who performs lighter workouts, is often not recommended for the home gym owner who uses heavy weight equipment. Foam tiles can be compressed under heavy weight equipment fairly easily and over time will not completely bounce back if the foam stayed compressed for an extended period of time. Foam can also be punctured, cut or sliced by sharp objects fairly easily. As such, we do not recommend walking on any type of foam flooring with high heeled shoes. Foam tiles are also only warrantied for 1 year compared to the 5 year warranty that comes with most rubber floor coverings.

How to Install Foam Tiles 

Non-toxic Plain Colour EVA mat/Solid foam mat

1. Pick a starting point to begin your installation. Many customers like to start in a cormer and spread out from there. 
2. Lay your soft tiles down and lock them together. The tiles interlock together similar to a puzzle, only you will never have to guess where each piece goes since the locks are the same on each side of each foam tile.

          

2. If installing the tiles wall to wall so as to completely fill a room, some cutting may be required. This is easily done with a utility knife and a straight edge such as a ruler or yard stick.
3. Once your desired area is covered, that’s it. You’re all done and congratulations on completing your foam flooring installation. It’s that easy!

Gym Mats used in Olympic Sports Widely

Gym Mats used in Olympic Sports Widely

As we all know that the Olympics are a platform for some extraordinary performances that include stunts that make me want to hold my breath. When the athletes jump and flip around, I feel some reassurance that they are protected by the mats that would cushion their fall or landing. While Gymnastics is likely the most anticipated and viewed Summer Olympic sport, Track and Field High Jumping, Pole Vaulting and Martial Arts are other examples of Olympic competitive events that utilize gym mats for their routines.

Olympic gymnastics events, in all of their rigorous, intense training, are quite simple when it comes to mandatory equipment. Gym floor mats are used for cushioning when landing from a performance. Competition landing Mats are recommended because they provide significant shock-absorption for gymnasts sticking landings from vault, bars, and balance beam routines. The cushioning of the gym mats does not guarantee the prevention of injuries, but certainly will prevent an injury from becoming as serious as it may have been without this extra level of protection (if used properly).


Olympic Track and Field High Jumpers and Pole Vaulters also utilize thick, cushioned gym mats as a mandatory part of their events. High jumpers scale a bar by leaping and hoisting themselves over the bar and, finally, landing on the gym mat. Pole vaulters utilize a long pole for support and then use it to propel themselves over a high bar and then also land on a gym mat. Because of the vertical heights that are reached in these events, landing on a well-cushioned surface is critical to protection from serious injuries.

Olympic Martial arts athletes utilize gym mats as a well-padded floor surface on which they perform as well. As this event is a highly intensive, contact sport, having a shock-absorbent surface on which the athletes perform is crucial to the prevention or reduction in injuries that they may potentially face if they are knocked to the ground during a match. 1 ½” mats with extra-firm foam are recommended because they provide firm footing and “street conditions”, without a sinking effect.

Though all of these Olympic events utilize gym mats in different manners, their common thread is that they reduce the risks of injury that Olympic athletes face while competing in these sports.
