Centr - Gym Flooring Exercise Mats - 48 Sq Ft - Black

Excellent quality mats for any home gym. Highly recommend.

Good Quality , Pieces fit nicely and create a stable, quiet floor.

Use exercise mats and devices continually in my home and at a clinic for stretching and lifting exercises. Have many, many hours of mat time, and the fact is mats differ, from overall size, thickness and most importantly is feel. How do your back, side, front, and your sitting area feel? Overall size, durability, convenience of getting ready and storing along with the how comfortable you are on the mat for from light stretching to extended periods are the benchmarks. My first impression of Centr Gym Flooring Exercise mats is quite good, easy to setup, great size/fit, comfortable in my time on the mat, easy cleanup/wipe down and easily stored. My main comparison is with my other mat, which is thicker style that folds with a shake of the hand. Surprisingly I found the Centr Gym mat to be as comfortable as my thicker mat, which is good. My other mat is made for quick storage where the Centr Gym is more functional if you do not plan on putting away after every use. Me, I typically leave my mats out all the time. Side note; if you store a one piece mat the same size the Centr Gym you will discover the Centr takes far less space for storage. That’s a plus! Selling point for me is that the Centr Gym covers a larger area than my fold away mat, and that I appreciate, especially in the majority of stretch routines. More is better when you are stretching and moving from side to side. I’m sure, if you are into Yoga and in a reverse upside-down inverted twist you will appreciate the space. (pun intended) The Centr Gym Mat is well suited for permanent home gym/workout rooms, you could easily cover your floor with the interlocking sections, which I am considering. The individual interlocking sections connect easily and should hold tight with under gym equipment in use. Bottomline, the mat is well made, comfortable, good price and it’s staying in my exercise room.

These puzzle piece workout flooring sets have been popular for a while now, and I think Centr did a good job with this product, adding something to the competitive landscape. For my use-case, these mats have several good qualities, but there are a few considerations to keep in mind depending on your workout routine. PROS 1. Lightweight Material: The mats are made from a thin and light material, making them easy to handle and move around. This is perfect for lightweight workouts and quick setup or relocation. 2. Versatile Puzzle Piece Design: The interlocking puzzle piece design is fantastic. It allows for flexible configurations, ensuring you can cover any workout space, as long as you have the correct edge pieces. This feature is particularly useful for making a non-usable surface comfortable for exercising. 3. Space-Efficient: If you're short on space, like I am in my house, these mats allow you to set up a small workout spot in areas like a basement without much hassle. This versatility makes them ideal for creating a functional workout area in tight or unconventional spaces. 4. Comfort: The mats provide a comfortable surface for various exercises, reducing strain on joints during bodyweight workouts or while using lighter weights. CONS 1. Thin Material: While the lightweight material is a plus for some, it also means the mats are quite thin. This thinness might not provide sufficient cushioning or protection for heavy-duty workouts involving substantial weights. 2. Durability Concerns: Given the thinness of the mats, I would be cautious about using them for heavy-duty workouts. Dropping heavy weights could potentially tear or damage the material. My use case involves smaller weights (about 45 lbs), and I typically drop them from waist height or while seated during abdominal workouts. So far, the mats have held up well under these conditions. CONCLUSION These mats are great for lightweight workouts and simple body exercises. If your workout involves dropping heavy weights frequently, you might want to consider more dense and durable options. However, for my current needs, these mats are perfect. They provide a functional workout space in a small area and hold great value for their price. Overall, if your workouts are similar to mine—focusing on lighter weights and body exercises—these Centr Gym Flooring Exercise Mats are an excellent choice. For heavier equipment and more intense workouts, investing in a thicker, more durable mat might be a better option.

We have a workout machine in our basement and had to use a yoga mat in front of it all the time. While the yoga mat worked it was small and didn't work the greatest. The yoga mat couldn't be let down because its in the path to our laundry room and bathroom. While not a huge issue, it just didnt look great and not super functional. These gym mats fixed those issues. When all of them are connected together it gives a pretty big area and they stay connected really well. The mat can now be left down as its easy to walk over and even holds up to the dogs walking on it. Setup was easy as the pieces connect like a puzzle, you even get boarder pieces that complete the mat, helps hold it together, and also makes it look clean and more put together. The material is textured firm plastic that offers some give. So, these are not overly soft, but not overly hard. They provide enough cushion to soften jumping, but not so soft that your foot sinks in and causes you to lose balance. We have a dog that has sharp nails and he has run across this or played on it and the mat shows no wear or damage. He also kicked up the mat and started biting the corner, again no damage. The only downside we have found is that on our laminate fake wood floor, the mat will slid around pretty easily. The back side of the mat does have some rubbery felt type material, but it does not hold on to our floor. This is not a deal breaker for us as that is expected and can be easily fixed by placing a non-slip rug pad under it. We have not tried this yet but those pads work great for keeping rugs in place on our slick floor so I don't see why it wouldn't work in this situation. Overall we really like these mats and it makes working out much nicer. I like that we can also expand and make the work out space bigger with more pieces. I would purchase again if needed.
