Space planning / Buying Guides

Training space flooring

The surface beneath equipment affects how the room feels and how the equipment can be used. Start with the room, then check the requirements of the actual piece.

Look at the surface you have

Identify the existing floor material, its condition, and whether the equipment will remain in one position or be moved. Think about stability, the feel underfoot, cleaning, and the effect of your intended activity on the room.

Consider a suitable layer

Dedicated mats or flooring may be useful for some spaces, but suitability depends on the equipment, the floor, and the way you train. Check whether the manufacturer specifies a surface, level base, protective mat, or other preparation. If you rent or have a shared building, check any property rules that affect the space.

Before ordering

  • Check the floor is sound, even, and appropriate for the planned use.
  • Confirm the product's placement and flooring instructions.
  • Allow for access to clean and inspect the area.
  • Ask a qualified professional if the floor's capacity or condition is uncertain.
