CHOOSING THE BEST FLOORING FOR YOUR GYM

Equipping a gym, whether it's a home gym or a large facility, is always a challenge. From its planning (space, available investment, choice of machines and equipment, etc.) to its execution. Often, the choice of flooring is not considered very important, and the best flooring for the space is not always chosen. For example, the flooring in a cardio-strength training room should be different from the flooring in a group exercise room. While one requires some traction and shock absorption, the other requires easy moisture absorption and the possibility of performing rotational and sliding movements.

There are very versatile floorings that can be used in various spaces, such as rubber floorings. They come in different shapes, textures, traction, and density.

Some things to consider:

1. Type of activity to be performed
2. Resistance and comfort
3. Cleaning and sanitisation
4. Stability and safety
5. Installation and maintenance

These issues should always be analysed to make the best decision. Rubber floorings have been widely used by gyms because they are economical, easy to install, durable, and very versatile. They have proven to be a great substitute for previously used floorings, which were much more expensive and also had more expensive maintenance.

It is always ideal to consult a specialist who can advise you on the best solution for your gym. The option of mixed flooring may be the best solution if you have several distinct areas, being able to use rubber flooring in one space, artificial turf in another, and vinyl flooring in another, for example.

Always remember that the choice of flooring is fundamental for injury prevention, a more modern look, and optimising training.
