More information about Rubber Gym Mats
Heavy-Duty Rubber Gym Mats are the perfect way to protect your floor and equipment while providing a comfortable and safe surface for your workout. Rubber is a durable matting material that can withstand heavy use, making it ideal for gyms and other high-traffic areas. It also has excellent shock-absorbing properties, which helps to protect your floors and equipment from impact. In addition, rubber is non-slip, so you can be sure of a safe and stable surface for your workout.
Heavy-Duty Rubber Gym Mats are also easy to clean and maintain, so you can keep your gym looking its best. Whether you're looking to protect your investment or create a safe and comfortable environment for your workout, Heavy-Duty Rubber Gym Mats are the perfect solution.
Reasons to use Large Rubber Gym Mats.
Shock absorption and noise reduction - Noise and damage from foot movement, weights and other equipment can permanently damage original flooring. Heavy-duty rubber mats absorb shock and reduce the noise emitted – perfect for upstairs training areas.
Anti-Slip Properties - When working out, you need a safe non-slip environment. The PVC/Rubber-based gym mats provide a great slip-resistant surface thanks to the textured designs and heavy weight of the mats, preventing accident-related injuries.
Easy to Install - No nails, glue, or tradesman needed. Simply place your mat or tiles on any existing gym floor and enjoy the benefits immediately.
Easy to clean - Our gym rubber flooring mats are easy to clean with minimal equipment needed. Simply soak or scrub your mat with water and detergent solution (depending on mat usage) and allow the mat to air dry for a couple of hours.
Large Gym Mat Sizes - Cover large areas of flooring with fewer mats by using our Large Rubber Gym Mats. Ideal for placing under equipment or using as deadlift matting.

Does Rubber Gym Matting Increase Your Workout Performance?
Although it has not been proven that rubber mats improve perofrmance, the reduced impact absorption for joints, muscles and tendons compared to standard hard flooring and concrete could slightly increase stability and help you perform more efficiently within exercises.
Additionally, using rubber for gym flooring can decrease the temperature gradient/difference between your body and the floor depending on the underlying surface. This means less energy is emitted to regulate body temperature, and more of this untapped potential can be used for your sets and reps.
Importance of Hygiene within Gyms
Not to be overlooked, hygiene, especially within public gyms, is one of the most important factors to be aware of. The vast levels of bare skin between the gym facilities, rooms and equipment make it a breeding ground for pathogens, germs and viruses to spread and cause infections. Below are a few recommendations to safeguard your gym's poor hygiene for top performance.
- Install heavy-duty entrance matting for both your indoor and outdoor entrance to ensure that all dirt, dust, debris and moisture are caught on the mat instead of staining any gym floors. This is a very basic but effective process in keeping surfaces instantly.
- When washing commercial gym floor matting, use light-medium detergent and cold water from a pressure cleaner or hose (if possible) or remove and clean out any bodily fluids (such as sweat) and debris and leave them to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
- Damp, poorly ventilated, or unclean floors and areas in gyms cause the growth of mould – which severely reduces the lifespan of gym matting. Always ensure all flooring surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and substantially dry before placing any gym matting down.
- If you have a changing room facility installed in your gym, you may find that our collection of Changing Room Matting may help with great slip and bacterial resistance, custom roll lengths and a wide selection in various colours, sizes, prices and widths.
