Your ultimate guide to gym flooring (and why it’s so important)
2023 Feb 7th
We get it. Your gym flooring may not be the most exciting thing in the world to think about when building your fitness area, whether that’s in a brand-new commercial space or in the comfort of your home.
But here’s the thing, it’s integral you choose the flooring for your gymcorrectly. Its influence can be massive.
The flooring in your your gym can affect the space’s safety, cleanliness, noise levels and - as many of us can relate to - its smell, too.
As a proud supplier of gym flooring in Canada, Landmark Athletics offers lots of options to ensure you end up with the right flooring, whether it’s one type you need, or several.
Time to hit the ground running - here’s a brief breakdown of our gym flooring selection!
Rubber Gym Flooring
Rubber gym flooring - a tried and true choice for any fitness space.
This type of flooring is particularly ideal for heavy foot traffic, given its uber durability.
As well, when we’re all sweating it out and staying hydrated during our workouts, it’s important the floor we’re on is water-resistant – rubber’s got you for this one, too!
Additionally, the durable nature of its material isn’t just comfortable - it can reduce injury, increasing the safety of your gym.
Suitable for commercial or at-home areas, our eco-friendly rubber flooring is often made in batches ending up with extra product. Why does this matter, you may ask?
This excess stock is sold to us at discount - with those savings passed on to you.
High affordability meets high quality - a win-win for you and your gym!
Soundproof Flooring
So, this one’s benefits are probably pretty obvious; our specialty soundproof flooring reduces the sounds and vibrations arising from the gym.
Its application is best used in free-weight areas, where hefty equipment is being dropped regularly.
Not only can this sturdy floor reduce noise and withstand heavy objects, soundproof flooring can also limit the vibration that occurs whenever something lands on its surface.
With its incredible abilities limiting distractions and impact, soundproof flooring is a fantastic addition to any gym - get a quote for it right here!
Turf Flooring
Searching for flooring to pair with a wide-open sports space? Look no further!
Turf flooring is ideal for countless activities. With its shock-absorbing capabilities, it’s not just aesthetically-pleasing and fun to play on, but injury-preventing, too.
Did you know? A gym turf purchase made-to-order can take as long as three months to be filled.
However, we at Landmark Athletics have stock on-hand in our Toronto warehouse, made up and ready for your gym the moment you buy it.
And, FYI, for customer projects we offer turf in over a dozen different colours.
High-impact exercise, such as CrossFit, football, soccer and other field-related activities need to be supported by a high-performing floor - we’d say indoor turf will likely do the trick - and then some!
Luxury Studio Flooring
What has major impact on the gym class experience? You guessed it - what everyone’s moving around on.
Our luxury studio flooring reigns supreme for areas that hold a wide variety of group-based exercise programs, such as pilates, aerobics or martial arts.
While one is trying to stay steady in a pose, this beautiful material holds its own flawless balance of sturdy and soft - an unbeatable combination.
Yoga Studio Flooring
Ahhh..there’s nothing quite like the peace that comes with one’s time at a yoga studio. What could possibly disrupt it? Unfit flooring, that’s what.
Landmark Athletics happens to carry multiple yoga flooring options, each tailor-made to withstand any stretch or pose you may find yourself in.
In particular, we carry Yoga & Fitness Tiles by world-famous Zebra Athletics, known for their long lifespan and modern technology flooring.
With all we have to offer, time with tranquility will never be compromised when taking place on our superior yoga flooring.
Other Gym Flooring
Flooring for our gym’s other areas, such as its reception, lockers rooms, offices and hallways are vital, yet sometimes overlooked.
Cover all your bases (or, in this case, flooring) and ensure your entire fitness facility is well-grounded, no matter where you may be within it; get a quote for it all right here!
