What Is the Best Turf For an XFit Gym?

Cross fitness is one of the most popular exercise programs in the health space, today. It is a form of high intensity interval training (HIIT) that combines strength and conditioning with the use of functional movements, such as pull-ups, squats, push-ups, weightlifting, running, rowing, and a host of others. Xfit is effective for losing weight, building strength, agility, flexibility, and cardiovascular health.

Many hybrid fitness facilities will have three or four sections - including an area each for warm up, skills/strength work, WOD or workout of the day, and cool down/stretching. Cross Fitness workouts often take participants outside, or simulate outdoor activities which is where grass becomes an ideal surface for that portion of the workout. Natural grass poses many potential problems, however, such as holes, insects, imperfections, and other hazards. XFit friendly artificial turf, on the other hand, offers a smooth terrain that is safe, attractive, clean, comfortable, suitable for indoors or outdoors, with or without shoes, and designed with physical performance in mind - minimizing injury, floor burn, and fatigue and allowing for higher level repetition and intensity.

Greatmats offers a huge selection of artificial turf options for hybrid fitness. With different textures, thicknesses, sizes, colors, and materials, there is a cross fitness turf option suitable for any home or commercial gym setting or budget.
