Floor mats for gyms

Floor mats for gyms 

Using the gym is a way not only to build your figure and strength, but also to keep fit and healthy. Contrary to popular belief, the gym is a space for both men and women. When looking for the perfect place to exercise, we check opening hours, access to an individual trainer, and the equipment and devices that can be used. There is one more detail that will ensure comfortable and safe use of the gym, which we usually do not pay attention to: floor mats or gym carpet.

A properly selected rubber surface for the gym is a product that should be appreciated by both fitness center and gym owners and individual users. The former will note the durability of this solution and its universal nature. From the perspective of the exerciser, the comfort of moving on the surface and its anti-slip properties are worth noting. Contrary to appearances, rubber gym mats will increase comfort and safety during exercise.

What are the properties of a gym mat?

Rubber gym mats have anti-slip properties that reduce the risk of falling due to slipping while moving during exercise. An additional advantage of a properly selected surface will be the ability to dampen sound and reduce shocks - this is an especially important factor when exercising in the free weights zone. And finally, rubber mats placed as a gym floor absorb falls, because of course such a risk always exists, even in a super safe space - sometimes all it takes is a moment of inattention. 

Which carpet for the gym?

First of all, it is worth considering the properties that ensure safe and comfortable use during exercise, i.e.:

  • anti-slip properties, 

  • shock absorption,

  • shock reduction,

  • soundproofing and noise suppression,

  • fireproof and waterproof parameters.

 

 Another issue is certificates or approvals. “WS FIT” gym mats:

  • have PZH certificate,

  • they are fireproof in accordance with the European Union directive - they achieve non-flammability results consistent with B2 in accordance with the DIN 4102 standard.

 

How to choose a floor for a gym?

Each gym mat should, of course, meet appropriate standards and have properties that ensure comfort and safety of exercise. It is worth paying attention to the thickness of the mat and relating it to the place where the surface is laid. The thickest rubber mats will work well in the free weights area, while protecting the floor against damage. 

The choice of mat thickness is based on SBR/EPDM "WS FIT" gym mats, which are available with a thickness of between 5mm and 12mm. And it is the thickest ones that can be used in the zone that is most vulnerable to damage and requires the highest level of protection. 

The second parameter will be the size of the mat. Choosing the right size mat will make it easier to arrange. “WS FIT” roll mats are 1.25 m wide and up to 10 m long. Depending on the customer's preferences, longer rolls can be produced. 

 

Where else can gym mats be used?

Rubber flooring can be used in various places in the fitness area and gym. The thickest mats available, as mentioned earlier, are perfect as a protective surface in the gym in the free weights zone. Thinner rubber mats can be used in other parts of the gym for stationary equipment as well as for the fitness zone. 

In addition to the advantages typically related to the safety of using rubber surfaces, it is also worth paying attention to the easy installation of mats and keeping them clean. The surface of WS FIT rubber mats does not absorb moisture, sweat and liquids, which makes keeping clean even easier. 

 

Summary

It is the owner's responsibility to ensure comfortable conditions for using the gym. Equipment, facilities and service at the highest level are a chance for success and creating a unique place. A properly selected rubber surface will complete the whole. The solutions available on the market guarantee easy installation and trouble-free cleaning, as well as durability combined with safe use by exercisers. Check out the offer of WS Fit gym mats.
