There’s a lot to think about when you’re installing a home gym. You need equipment, space, lighting, and more. But one thing you can’t neglect is the flooring. If you are converting a room in your house into a home gym, it is likely that your existing flooring will not be up to the challenge. While gym flooring needs to be strong and durable, you want it to look good as well. Not just any flooring will do.
Consider these three questions when choosing your home gym flooring.
How does it look?
It might seem superficial, but it’s actually a crucial characteristic. Half the battle of exercising is convincing yourself to exercise. If you don’t like spending time in your home gym, you’re less likely to use it, and then that room becomes a waste of space and money. Place N’ Go™ Tile comes in a variety of colors and patterns to match your home gym aesthetic, or you can opt for Click N’ Go™ Plank to replicate the look of hardwood flooring with less maintenance.
How durable is it?
Any home gym flooring needs to be able to take a beating or hold the weight of heavy equipment. Whether it’s a rack of weights or a treadmill, you don’t want your gym equipment to be able to damage your floor by just sitting there. Both Place N’ Go™ Tile and Click N’ Go™ Plank are incredibly durable, but if you need to take it up a notch, our SelecTile™ is an even more durable alternative. Home gyms are often converted basements or garages, so the fact that our products are waterproof is another point in their favor.
What kind of exercise do you do?
How you plan to use your home gym is often the deciding factor in what kind of flooring you need. If your home gym is more of a home yoga studio, you’ll appreciate the firm base of Click N’ Go™ Plank. For a comfortable underfoot feel, you can’t go wrong with Place N’ Go™ Tile. But if you go hard on your workouts, you’ll want the strength of SelecTile™.
