Creating a Home Gym Over Carpet: Joseph's Experience
The Challenge of Home Gym Flooring Over Carpet
When Joseph and his wife bought their house in Salt Lake City, they envisioned creating a home gym in a carpeted room. However, they quickly discovered the challenges of installing gym flooring over carpet, as many flooring options simply weren’t up to the task.
Common Issues with Gym Flooring Over Carpet
Carpet’s slick surface and lack of a firm foundation can cause floor tiles to shift during workouts. Joseph and his wife struggled with this issue, trying various brands and styles of flooring, but none stayed securely in place.
''I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to find good quality flooring for all of the gym equipment,'' says Joseph. ''We’ve tried different brands and different styles of flooring, but they would never really work - they would all move around and buckle.''
Discovering the Greatmats StayLock Tile Bump Top
A New Solution Found Online
In their search for a better solution, the couple learned about the Greatmats StayLock Tile Bump Top, a product specifically designed to address these challenges.
Initial Hesitation
Initially, Joseph and his wife were hesitant to try the smaller, 1x1-foot tiles. They had concerns about the edges raising or the tiles sliding on the carpet, but they decided to give them a try.
A Secure and Stable Solution
The StayLock Tile Bump Top quickly proved to be different. The textured underside created extra grip, ensuring the tiles stayed in place on the carpet.
''These things are great,'' Joseph said. ''They’re firm yet soft, and they work great with our carpet with the pattern underneath. Once the tile is set in place, it digs into the carpet and does not move.''
Easy Installation and Expansion
Simple Interlocking Design
Joseph praised the tiles’ interlocking system, which made installation straightforward. The tiles locked together securely and stayed in place during workouts.
''It’s super simple, and once in place they do not move,'' Joseph explained.
Expanding the Gym Flooring
Impressed by the tiles’ performance, Joseph and his wife decided to extend the flooring across the entire room to complete their home gym.
