Equipment What is the best flooring for a home gym?

[cmiyachi]

Hi Ladies,

I'm building a new house and of course it will have a home gym.

I'm looking at this flooring which is very low-priced but looks good.

I'm going to order a square of it to get an idea.

Do you have any flooring recs?

TIA,

I've been looking at these mats also but haven't made a decision. If you go directly to the WeSell Mats website, you will see a much wider selection of mats. You can order free samples to compare the various mat types. Also the pricing between buying through Amazon and buying through their website is not all that different.

Thanks for the tip. The amazon choice is 3/8 inch thick but the web site has 1/2 inch for just a bit more. I would like to go with the 1/2 inch. The prices are very good -

I ordered the 1/2 thick was 7 dollars more then the 3/8. Doing TAPOUTXT on carpet is hard on elbows, mostly rug burns, and my yoga mat floats around. My neighbor bought some as well for his gym and loves them.

I ended up getting commercialized rubber flooring from a different company. It's harder and more durable. The flooring I was considering was too soft for equipment.
