Created: Jan, 2025

When selecting flooring for a home gym, you need to be sure it’s thick enough to protect the subfloor from any damage and absorb noise from workout equipment. If you plan to have free weights that you will drop in a garage or basement gymnasium, you need thicker-than-average flooring, similar to what you may find in a commercial environment. But what is the best 3/4-inch rubber flooring for gyms?

At Greatmats, we would suggest a couple of rubber flooring options that are exactly 3/4 of an inch in thickness. We also would suggest a couple of thicker rubber mats, interlock tile, or roll options, should you need extra protection. And if you prefer the idea of foam instead of one of our best 3/4-inch rubber flooring for gym options, we have some 3/4-inch thick foam home gym flooring tiles that can handle heavy-duty workouts, other than free weight workouts.
