Gym flooring for any space
Believe it or not, you actually have some choice over the type of gym flooring you choose. Whether you have only strength equipment, benches and racks or just cardio machines, there are a few options — which means you get to pick what you really like.
Home gym flooring
When choosing home gym flooring, consider the type of equipment you’ll be using and the amount of impact it needs to withstand. Treadmills, exercise bikes, rowing machines, and cross trainers benefit from flooring that helps reduce vibration, noise, and movement during use. A durable rubber mat or tile system can help protect your existing floor while keeping equipment stable.
If you regularly lift heavy bars or dumbbells over 25kg, you'll want to consider a thicker rubber flooring option designed to absorb impact. Heavier weights create more force when dropped, so thinner flooring may not provide enough protection.
Commercial gym flooring
Commercial gyms need flooring that can withstand high footfall, repeated equipment use, and a variety of training styles. When planning a commercial space, consider how each area will be used.
Strength areas:
Free weights, squat racks, and Olympic lifting zones require a heavy-duty rubber gym floor that can withstand dropped weights and repeated impact.
Cardio areas:
Cardio zones need stable, durable flooring that helps reduce vibration and protects both equipment and the floor underneath.
Functional training areas:
Spaces used for sled pushes, HIIT, and group training benefit from durable surfaces such as rubber rolls or sprint tracks, which allow for dynamic movement.
We stock gym flooring tiles for garages, studios, and larger commercial facilities like school gyms, with heavy-duty solutions from brands such as Ecore and Pavigym.

MMA tatami mats: Designed for floor-based activities such as martial arts and grappling.
What thickness of gym flooring do I need?
The right gym flooring thickness depends on the type of training you do and the equipment you use. Thicker flooring generally provides better impact protection, sound absorption, and durability, making it more suitable for heavy strength training.
8mm–12mm: Suitable for light home workouts, cardio equipment, and general fitness areas where there is minimal impact.
15mm–20mm: A popular choice for home gyms and training spaces using dumbbells, kettlebells, and moderate strength equipment.
25mm–30mm: Better suited to heavier strength training areas with squat racks, barbells, and regular weightlifting.
40mm+: Designed for demanding commercial environments, Olympic lifting areas, and spaces where heavy weights may be dropped.
Do I need underlay for gym flooring?
Underlay isn't always required, but it can be beneficial depending on your space and flooring type. In home gyms, it can help reduce noise and vibration, while in commercial environments, it can provide extra support and protection under heavy-use flooring systems. Always check the flooring manufacturer's guidance before installation.
