Foam Tiles

Using foam tiles for 10x10 home gym flooring is a popular choice, as they’re easy to install and budget-friendly. They provide some fall protection and cushioning. Foam has a nice level of traction to prevent slips while working out. Expect to pay an average of $175 for foam tiles in a 10x10 foot room, where the best options include:

• Gym Floor Workout Fitness Tile: You’ll pay less than $2 per square foot for these tiles. They have an impressive level of durability for foam tiles, as they can support the weight of exercise equipment.
  
• Premium Foam Kids and Gym Tiles: You’ll pay less than $1.50 per square foot for these tiles, making them one of the most affordable gym floors. They are available in numerous colors when you want to brighten up the workout space.

Interlocking PVC Tiles

Are PVC plastic tiles good for home gyms? They are, as they offer a bit of cushioning for tough workouts while remaining highly durable. This is a nice choice for anti-fatigue gym flooring and when doing bodyweight exercises. However, you should not use PVC plastic with free weights where you’ll be dropping the weights. Expect to pay an average of $450 for PVC tiles for a 10x10 foot workout room, where the best options include:

• StayLock Bump Top Tile: You’ll pay right around $4 per square foot for these PVC interlocking tiles. They’re easy to install over any kind of subfloor. The bump top texture pattern helps with anti-fatigue properties while also delivering traction.
  
• StayLock Orange Peel Tile: You’ll pay less than $6.75 per square foot for this pop-together PVC tile, which has a subtle texture across the top that resembles an orange peel. It fits well over almost any subfloor material.

Rubber Tiles

As a home gym flooring option, rubber tiles have some advantages over foam, although they do carry a higher price tag. Rubber is thick, allowing it to stand up to free weights and heavy exercise equipment. It also absorbs vibration and noise, meaning you won’t disturb the rest of the house as much when you’re exercising. Expect to pay an average of $500 for rubber tiles for a 10x10 foot room, where the best options include:

• Gmats Interlocking Rubber Tile: You’ll pay a little less than $3.25 per square foot with these 3/8-inch thick rubber tiles. They’re made for free weights up to 120 pounds, as well as body weight and floor exercises.
  
• UltraTile Rubber Weight Floor: When you want to use free weights of more than 120 pounds, this 1-inch thick tile is ideal for absorbing the impact and supporting the weight. It costs less than $9 per square foot.
  
• Sterling Athletic Rubber Tile: If you want to use weights greater than 120 pounds that you’ll intentionally drop to the floor, these 2-inch rubber tiles can cut down on noise and can protect the subfloor. They cost less than $9.50 per square foot.

Rolled Rubber

Rolls of rubber are good for gyms, as they allow you to create safe flooring in very little time. They deliver excellent traction, noise absorption, and ease of maintenance. Expect to pay an average of $200 for enough rolls of rubber to cover a 10x10 foot room, where the best options include:

• Sport Regring Rolled Rubber: At less than $1.50 per square foot, this 1/4-inch roll of rubber is slip- and wear-resistant. It supports free weights up to 50 pounds and bodyweight exercises.
  
• Geneva Rubber Flooring Roll: At right around $3 per square foot, this 3/8-inch roll of rubber works well for free weights up to 120 pounds and for bodyweight and floor exercises.
