Fitness center flooring can have a huge impact on health and safety. Choosing the right type can also help create a stylish environment that members enjoy training in, and contribute to their overall fitness progress.
Health impacts so many aspects of our lives, so it’s no surprise that more and more people are joining gyms and fitness centers across the US. Along with finding the right staff and equipment, selecting appropriate flooring is crucial to creating a safe and effective training experience for them.
However, knowing which fitness center flooring is most appropriate can be tricky… Fitness professionals tend to be extremely knowledgeable when it comes to exercises and equipment, but not everyone understands the role that flooring plays.

Fitness center flooring & floor planning
To optimize your floor space and create a truly effective training environment, we recommend creating a floor plan. We can help you select the right flooring for your usage needs, and offer a wide variety of surfaces for different applications. Whether you need flooring for a free weight area, cardiovascular space, or CrossFit training, we offer a surface type to match. We understand that different types of training involve diverse movements, which place varying demands on both the body and flooring. So we’ll tailor solutions based on your specific needs to ensure it’s both safe and effective.
We can also provide flooring options for other areas of your facility that are both practical and attractive. Changing rooms, receptions, corridors, and other communal areas can all benefit from bespoke surfaces.
Which fitness center flooring is most effective?
The key to selecting fitness center flooring is choosing the appropriate surface for the activity. Whilst every flooring type has both benefits and drawbacks, it’s crucial to make your choice based on how it will be used. Here are some examples to help you decide:
Tough & high-impact
These types of flooring are extremely durable and rugged. They’re designed to withstand the demands of high-intensity workouts and rough treatment.
- Strength training
- Free weights
- CrossFit
Resilient & impact-absorbing
Flooring types with these features are both durable and shock-absorbing. By compressing under the weight of high-impact movements they reduce stress on joints (which can lead to injury) yet spring back into shape quickly.
- Cardio & flexibility
- Multi-purpose gym
- Running track
Glide & Grip
These surfaces allow smooth continuous movements whilst also providing a firm grip.
- Indoor soccer
- Sled training
Interactive & functional
Flooring can also enhance the training experience by providing visual cues and functional markings that guide users through their workouts.
- Agility, speed & coordination drills
- Balance & flexibility movements
We offer a varied range of fitness center flooring solutions to meet your training needs. Our professional installation team and knowledgeable account managers will help you create a safe and enjoyable environment for your members. For more information or to ask us a question, get in touch here.
