COMMERCIAL GYM FLOORING

Our Range of Pro Gym Flooring Solutions

At Factory Weights, we help you transform your workout facility with our professional flooring selection, including mats, corners and edging. 

Made from shock-absorbent rubber and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), this resilient selection is designed to withstand high-impact use in high-traffic areas. It also absorbs noise, helps prevent injuries and lets you maximise your performance during workouts. Slip resistance matters in gym spaces prone to moisture from sweat and cleaning, so every mat in our range uses a textured, anti-slip surface.

Available in thicknesses from 10mm to 40mm, our rubber gym matting accommodates all types of equipment, including popular gear like weight benches, gym racks and cardio machines. They’re also a great choice for boxing, yoga, Pilates and other floor-based fitness activities.

The table below breaks down our main flooring types by thickness and typical use, helping you choose the right fit for your gym. 

Crumb Rubber Mats

Combining durability and style, this premium flooring features a robust crumb rubber construction. Each individual mat is 1m x 1m in size, with thicknesses from 10mm to 40mm as shown in the table above.

You can also cut them to fit your workout room or garage. This rubber flooring is made to withstand high-impact drops from heavy Olympic weights, while also guaranteeing superior comfort during floor exercises. 

Our crumb rubber flooring also features a slip-resistant surface, helping to prevent slipping during high-intensity workouts while reducing fraying for a long-lasting solution. 

EPDM Rubber Flooring 

Manufactured using industrial-grade EPDM, this premium rubber flooring is an excellent choice for high-performance training environments. The anti-slip finish reduces the risk of accidents or injuries, while the sealed surface makes cleaning the rubber flooring easy.

When buying these high-quality gym flooring tiles, you can choose a solid black or white flecked style to suit your fitness studio. You can also choose from thicknesses running from 20mm to 40mm, as outlined in the table above.

Thicker rubber flooring is generally more durable, making it ideal for heavy-duty weight training or powerlifting zones. We also offer Pro Fleck Gym Flooring in a variety of thicknesses and colours if you’re looking for a premium product with maximum shock absorption. Noise and vibration control matters most for gyms and studios located above retail or residential spaces, and our 20mm+ EPDM tiles give the best noise reduction in the range.

EVA Foam Mat

Our high-quality EVA foam mat is ideal for protecting floors and preventing slipping in home gyms. It measures 60cm x 60cm x 12mm and comes with 4 mats per pack. It’s non-toxic, odourless, latex-free, with a comfortable, cushioned, anti-slip surface. 

This type of mat is also non-porous (doesn’t absorb moisture or dirt), making it easy to clean and maintain.

Lifting Platforms

Heavy drops need a stable, floor-safe landing. Our lifting platform range pairs with your flooring to protect the subfloor and give you a proper base for strength training.

• Factory Weights lifting platform: Features a 3m x 2m base with resistance band pegs and floor fixings for extra stability.

• Olympic lifting platform: The full 4m x 4m IWF-spec size, built to IWF competition standards for serious, high-volume training.

• Lifting platform inlays: Offer the same stability in a smaller, bamboo-built footprint for tighter spaces.

• Deadlift platforms: Feature a steel-framed, three-mat base built for safe, explosive pulls.

• DC blocks: Provide extra height for cleans and snatches, built from recycled plastic with high load capacity.

• Flat-top DC box: Caps a stack with a level, non-interlocking top surface, sold individually and equally suited to plyo work, with a 1,134kg dynamic load capacity. 

Corners, Edging & Clips

Alongside our rubber flooring, we also stock several flooring accessories to secure the mats and maintain a sleek look throughout your training space:

• Individual corners: 20mm, 30mm and 40mm thicknesses, made from EPDM, designed to handle high impact and prevent slipping.

• Edge flooring pieces: 20mm, 30mm and 40mm thicknesses; easy-to-clean EPDM construction. 

• Clips: Made from hard polymer plastic, compatible with the Immortal EPDM mat range, and provide maximum stability.

Our corners and edge pieces attach easily to your EPDM gym floor mats, providing a secure fit with no movement between the rubber tiles. Each piece also has a slightly slanted edge to help offset the height difference between your gym mats and subfloor, reducing the risk of any trips or falls.

FAQs About Our Rubber Flooring for Fitness Centres 

What are the benefits of rubber gym flooring? 

Gym mats offer several benefits for commercial facilities and home gyms alike, including: 

• Absorbs shock and prevents damage

• Reduces noise levels

• Protects your equipment from dents and scratches

• Maintains the quality of your subfloors during heavy drops

• Minimises the risk of slipping, equipment rolling and injury

• Secures your workout platforms (weight benches, bar stands or racks)

• Supports various training activities

How long does gym flooring last?

Pro gym flooring generally lasts between 5 and 15 years. However, several factors influence their lifespan, including thickness, use and maintenance.Thicker mats offer increased impact resistance and tend to last longer, while heavy use with free weights or gymnastics causes more wear than exercise types like yoga and Pilates. 

Choosing durable materials from the start reduces both ongoing maintenance and how often you'll need to replace your flooring. Regular cleaning also extends its lifespan; for rubber flooring, that typically means vacuuming and damp mopping without using any harsh chemicals. 

What flooring options work best for a home gym vs a commercial gym?

The right flooring comes down to two things: how heavy your equipment gets and how many people are using it. Get those two factors right, and the material and thickness choice follows naturally.

• Home gyms generally suit 10mm to 15mm crumb rubber mats or EVA foam, since equipment and foot traffic are lighter. Nonetheless, suppliers often recommend a 20mm minimum for anywhere Olympic lifts or heavy free weights get dropped. 

• Commercial facilities and fitness centres typically use EPDM-topped or crumb rubber tiles from 20mm up to 40mm to handle constant use from many members. 

How thick should gym flooring be for free weights?

Free weights need thicker flooring than bodyweight or cardio areas. Our 30mm and 40mm crumb rubber and EPDM tiles are built for heavy barbell and dumbbell work, and thicker options also give the best noise reduction for busy weight rooms. 

Factory Weights' crumb rubber tiles start at 10mm, suitable for lighter home equipment. For free weight zones handling dropped Olympic plates, 20mm or more is the general recommendation, both at home and commercially. 

Is astro turf the same as gym flooring?

No, astro turf and rubber gym flooring serve different purposes. 

Astro turf and turf tracks are popular for functional training areas, sled pushes and sprint drills, while rubber flooring protects the floor beneath weights and machines. We stock a dedicated range of sled sprint tracks for training zones that need a turf surface, separate from our EPDM and crumb rubber flooring.

How do you install gym tiles?

Installing gym mats is a fairly straightforward process that involves a few key steps:

1. Measure the flooring area: This will help you determine how many floor mats you need in your commercial or garage gym and whether they need to be cut to size. Planning your layout at this stage, rather than cutting piece by piece as you go, also helps achieve fewer joins. Fewer seams mean less risk of gaps opening up between tiles over time.

2. Cut the mats: You may need to reduce the size of some mats to fit your commercial, home, or garage gym.

3. Clean the floor: Install flooring over a flat, dry and sound base for the best results, and remove any carpets to avoid placing the flooring on a surface with less grip. Before setting the floor mats down, also ensure the surfaces are clean and dry to prevent slipping. This stops dirt or debris from becoming trapped under the tiles, which can create an uneven surface over time.

4. Place & secure the gym mat flooring: While our gym rubber flooring is slip-resistant, you can also secure it with double-sided tape or glue for added gripping ability.

When deciding where to install gym flooring, it’s important to consider which sections of your gym experience the most wear and tear.

For example, many commercial gyms place floor tiles in weightlifting areas where high-impact drops and heavy foot traffic are common. This strategic placement is a great way to improve the safety and functionality of your workout environment.
