There are many types and categories of gym mats. Gym mats can cover a wide range of activities spanning from wrestling mats to tumbling mats used in gymnastics and even weight drop zone mats used in fitness centers and home gyms. With such variety, you are sure to be covered for your specific gym mat needs. When considering which mat to purchase, try your best to select a mat that is made by a company with a reputation for manufacturing quality products.
AGM Deluxe Tumbling Mats
AGM's Tumbling mats are designed for multi-activity use. Tumbling, cheerleading, martial arts, and general physical education activities can be performed on these gym mats. AGM tumbling mats are also known as panel mats. They are covered in a durable 14 oz. or 18 oz. coated vinyl for long-lasting wear and tear resistance. Mat connecting is possible because AGM mats are manufactured with Velcro on both ends. Additional velcro can be purchased to connect mats side by side as well.
Bully Mat
Bully Mat rubber flooring was designed as a fitness mat for free weight "drop zones." Free weight drop zones are high use areas where heavy weights are often dropped onto the floor by weight lifters. They are also used as a wall to wall rubber matting when a durable gym mat is needed.
Mad Matter Inc.com says, "The Bully Mat Rubber Mat can take the pounding better than most other exercise floor mats. Recommended for Commercial Gym Mat use and also as a Home Gym Rubber Flooring." Bully mat also gives you a variety of toughness in mats. Mats are sold in cushion thicknesses of 3/8 inch, 1/4 inch and 3/4 inch.
Best Flex Interlocking Rubber Gym Floor
According to commercialmatsandrubber.com, "The Best Flex rubber floor system is by far the most recognized product world-wide and is known for its easy installation plus minimal maintenance and more importantly longevity." This is a durable USA made all rubber gym-floor that is made from solid vulcanized virgin rubber instead of the recycled tire that is used for some rubber mats. Each 2 foot by 2 foot tile has puzzle-like prongs made for interlocking. This totally alleviates the need for any adhesives when installing.
Survivor Rolled Rubber
Survivor Rolled Rubber is one of the most used SportFloors in the industry. They offer a variety of available colors. Many gyms choose the use of Rolls because they eliminate seams and tend to be less expensive to install. Commercialmatsandrubber.com says, "Survivor performs better, offers superior life cycle cost savings and enhances the appearance of your facility when compared to carpet, 4' x 6' horse mats or painted floors." Survivor Rolled Rubber is sound and shock absorbent and is generally easy to maintain.
