Consider gym flooring when building a new or remodeling fitness environment. Fitness floors are a specialty, as are free weights, cardio or functional zones. It’s not considered the most exciting part of setting up the gym, but it should be part of your early planning. When you first create your gym layout, consider the space you will use or plan to use for each zone. Don’t start with your equipment selection, start with the zones or areas you want your gym to contain and the percentage of space you want to allocate to each zone. It is important to know the current flooring in the room. Both the top layer and the floor structure itself should be inspected. Are your floors concrete, raised floors, or wood? Determine if floor preparation is required prior to installation. An underlay is an insulating barrier that is installed between the structural floor and the flooring in a gymnasium. The type of pad completely depends on the level and strength of use in the zone or area of the gym. Areas with free weights will likely require a higher level of shock absorption and will therefore require thicker padding.
Rubber Tiles:
For medium to thick floors (greater than 10mm) plain square rubber tiles are recommended. Tiles often need to be fixed to the floor, so it’s important to have them installed by a professional. The reason is that they don’t work together. The edges must be fixed precisely so that there are no gaps or defects. Even very heavy rubber gym floor panels can be attached using connection plates. However, it should be installed professionally to ensure an even finish. Perfect for studio spaces, functional training zones and stretching areas. Not only does it have a stable and durable top, it reduces the force and impact when your gear and you hit the ground. Not suitable for high impact drop zones such as lifting. The advantage of rubber floors is that they require little maintenance compared to other solid floor coverings. This is a bonus for operators.
The rubber tiles are 30mm to 40mm thick and are designed for powerlifting and free weight zones. Absorbs impact and prevents weights and plates from bouncing. Rubber tiles are great for small gyms and free weight areas. The tiles are not seamless, but come in a variety of colors.
Color and Custom Designs:
Some of the industry’s most innovative manufacturers not only offer extensive color options, but also fully modified options. This may include training aids such as boxes, agility ladders and useful zones. Larger designs, like the indoor track installed in the LIFT gym, can be an outstanding. I’m here. Think about the types of actions that will be conducted and how they will fit into the residual capability and vacuum cleaners that may be wanted in the area. Manufacturers use a variety of techniques to color rubber floor, so it’s not unusual for low-quality rubber to discolor with relatively little use.
