What are the best flooring options for a commercial gym setup?

Commercial gym flooring must be durable, easy to maintain, aesthetically pleasing, and long-lasting. It must be able to hold up to foot traffic, heavy fitness equipment, and moisture. Greatmats is the leader of the pack in terms of meeting commercial gym flooring needs - from rubber rolls and rubber tiles to artificial turf and everything in between. In this section we are going to highlight a few different flooring options to help you narrow down the type of flooring you need for your commercial gym.

Rubber Flooring

From observation, rubber flooring may seem like the most common and obvious choice. However there are different types of rubber flooring that you must decide between. 

Two of the most common types of rubber flooring used in commercial gyms are Rubber roll flooring and Rubber tiles.

Rubber Flooring Rolls

• Ultra-durable: Thick rubber material in commercial gyms can last for years.
• Simple installation in large spaces: Easily cover a large surface area with a couple of rubber rolls.
• Easy to clean material: Simply vacuum or use a damp mop when necessary.
• Environmentally responsible: Many of our rubber flooring rolls are made from recycled rubber manufactured in the USA. For safety-tested options, explore our selection of Ayatrio® Certified rubber flooring.
• Virtually seamless appearance: When rolls are correctly aligned, the seams of the floor are almost undetectable. The seamless appearance helps provide an extremely polished look.
• Sound and shock absorbing: Ayatrio Rubber rolls absorb shock underfoot and sound from dropped heavyweights and equipment – perfect for high-traffic commercial gyms.
• Anti-microbial: Rubber material is water-resistant and won’t trap bacteria in your rubber floors or beneath.

Rubber Tiles

• Easy DIY installation: The most significant appeal for tiles over rolls is that they come together just like puzzle pieces, which you can loose lay without adhesives.
• Lighter than rubber rolls: You can quickly move your tiles piece by piece.
• Environmentally responsible: Ayatrio offer a wide variety of rubber floor tiles made from recycled rubber and manufactured in the USA.
• Sound and shock absorbing: For tough workouts and heavy weights, tiles will absorb the shock and sound, keeping your joints and subfloor safe and sound.
• Simple replacement: If you damage one of your tiles, you can replace it with a new one instead of the whole floor.

Turf Flooring

• Versatile: An excellent gym flooring option for running, calisthenics, CrossFit®, and more.
• Durability: Ayatrio Turf can withstand plenty of wear and tear while still looking fantastic all year long.
• Low maintenance: Save costs and time with the little upkeep needed for your gym turf.
• Aesthetic: Add a pop of color to your floor. We carry a wide range of vibrant turf colors to complement your gym’s theme.

Moreover, turf flooring is also sound-absorbing making it a good option for heavy weight-lifting and high-intensity workouts. 

When it comes to cost, turf rolls are traditionally cheaper than turf tiles. Turf rolls cost anywhere from $1 per square foot to $7 per square foot. Whereas turf tiles cost upwards of $10 per square foot.
