A home gym or dedicated workout space is something that is part of nearly every home in today’s world. With constant reminders from billboards and social media that we need to be taking better care of our bodies, the desire to work out and eat right is ever so present.

Many people find that transforming a section or area of a garage to be a great home gym solution. Not only is it nice to have a dedicated space separate from the main area of your house, but the rugged environment of a garage is suitable for the use and abuse of exercise machines, weights, and other fitness equipment.

Although most garages have a durable concrete floor, that isn’t always an ideal surface for comfort, safety, or aesthetics. Greatmats offers a number of garage gym tiles that are easy to install on the existing subfloor that can easily transform and customize any space easily and effectively.

Rubber Garage Gym Tiles

Garages sometimes tend to house moisture. A rubber floor is therefore a great choice, as it is water resistant and provides traction when wet. Rubber will not absorb water or other liquids, and it is extremely durable and versatile. It is also stain, mold, and mildew resistant, and it is very easy to clean and maintain.

Although there are numerous rubber flooring options at Greatmats, the Interlocking Rubber Tile Gmats Black is a great choice if you’re looking for garage gym tiles. This commercial grade rubber tile features an interlocking design for quick and easy, glueless installation with available beveled edges for each tile to achieve a finished look. These garage gym tiles are among the most durable on the market, ensuring that the flooring will not dent or fold when you place a heavy weight bench or other objects on it. These tiles are available in light gray, so a great option if you have a limited amount of floor space to work with - reducing waste when compared to custom cutting rubber rolls or large mats. They are constructed with the best materials.
