Aerobic Mats and Flooring

Options for Aerobic Mats

Whether you own an aerobics studio or you want to create a dedicated aerobics workout space at home, finding the right aerobic mats can give you multiple benefits. At Greatmats, we have dozens of options for an aerobics mat that you can trust to deliver excellent value and performance.

With the right aerobics mats, you can create a comfortable space that protects the lower body joints of the athletes while still providing a firm enough surface to allow for the controlled movements that are vital for this type of workout.

Types of Aerobic Floor Mats and Aerobic Flooring

We offer three primary types of aerobic floor mats that give you the ideal design to fit your coverage needs and budget.

Mats

A step aerobic exercise mat will have coverage space that’s ideal for one person who needs a little extra cushioning.

• Roll-out foam mats: A roll-out foam aerobic mat delivers a foam base with a vinyl or carpet-top surface for traction and durability.
  
• Folding gym mats: Folding gym mats allow you to set up the aerobics space with extra cushioning by using padded foam encased inside a vinyl covering.

Tiles

Aerobic flooring tiles let you create a custom-sized space for your aerobic workouts. Just connect the specific number of tiles you need for your layout.

• EVA foam: EVA foam tiles are an ideal matting to use when you want maximum cushioning in a variety of color options.
  
• PVC anti-fatigue: PVC tiles are extremely durable, but they also have a bit of cushioning for easing the physical recovery from your aerobics workouts.
  
• Rubber: Rubber matting is the most durable material among aerobic tiles, standing up to the use of exercise equipment and frequent workouts.
  
• Carpet: Carpet tiles are not as common as some other materials, but they can provide a sure footing for your aerobics workouts.

Rolls

When you need to cover a large space, a roll of aerobic flooring is the best option. Some of these rolls work as zumba dance floor mats, too.

• Athletic padded vinyl roll: Some rolls of vinyl floor have an attached padded layer on the back that delivers cushioning for safe workouts, including for aerobics.
  
• Rubber roll: At Greatmats, we carry aerobic rubber rolls for both general workouts and plyometric workouts.
  
• Foam roll: Foam rolls for aerobics tend to work better for use as a subfloor to provide cushioning when you install another type of aerobics flooring over the top.

Benefits of the Best Flooring for High-Impact Aerobics

At Greatmats, we offer multiple products that work as flooring for high-impact aerobics. Here are some of the benefits you can receive by installing the best flooring for high-impact aerobics.

• Cushioning: Our aerobic floor mats have a little bit of cushioning to keep you safe from high-impact workouts that could leave your lower body joints sore.
  
• Designs: Select among multiple colors or designs across the surface of the flooring, allowing you to create a pleasing look in your aerobics workout room.
  
• DIY installation: Nearly all our aerobic matting products have a design that’s perfect for a DIY installation. Many mats are easy to trim to fit inside an odd-shaped room.
  
• Firmness: Even though the aerobic floors have some cushioning, they also provide a level of firmness necessary to make controlled movements during your workouts.
  
• No adhesive: Most aerobic mats we offer do not require adhesive to install them, meaning you can pick them up and move them whenever needed.
  
• Varying sizes: You can select among varying sizes in our aerobic mats, so you can install flooring for one person to exercise, for an entire room, or for something in between.
