Decent protection, no padding, January 20, 2008
By -TMcN- (Snohomish, WA United States)

|
Most exercise equipment mats provide some padding. This is not a padding mat. It's rather stiff vinyl, and will protect from indentations and spills, but it won't cushion you much. It's also much thinner than other mats. All of which may be better or worse for your application than a thicker mat; for example, this line is perfect for under a treadmill.
A minor problem is that it isn't perfectly rectangular. My guess is it is cut off of long rolls and sometimes the angle is a bit off. This only interferes with getting it to line up with both walls in a corner, and it is minor.

Soft Material and not "Solid vinyl PVC construction", May 14, 2009
By Derek (Northern Virginia)
|
|
I bought this in May 2009 and it is a Soft material that easily bunched up and tore under my equipment whenever it moves. I wanted the ""solid vinyl PVC construction" type of mat which this is not, so I cut this up with a box knife and used it for other purposes. The heavy duty vinyl mats are almost impossible to cut so easily.

PERFECT, June 8, 2007
By Honest Consumer (USA)
|
|
I LOVE THIS MAT!!! IT IS PVC rubber and worth every penny. I may buy another. There is NO RUBBER SMELL - which is very important for people with sensitivities to that. I'll have mine for years...feels thick and tough like a tire tread...has a nice grainy texture on top/smooth on the bottem. Won't go wrong ordering one - or two!

Just enough cushion, June 16, 2010
By D. Wilson (Akron, OH)
|
|
I'm a serious jump roper. Anything is better than cement. I use it to soften the impact from the concrete and it works perfectly. There's just enough cushion to keep from being too mushy and preventing a timely jump while protecting my knees from solid ground impact.
I also use it on grass to provide a smooth ground due to grass being too high or slightly uneven. It's durable enough to handle periodic rope smacks and continuous jumps without bunching up or wearing away.
Also good for putting equipment on to protect carpet and flooring or to keep equipment from sliding around and some floor exercises; thicker than an average yoga and palates mat but not too thick to interfere with the workout.
There's a comfortable thinness and a confident durability to it. Not a smooth surface but textured for traction.

Ok, but not really for equipment, October 16, 2009
By B. Leisle

The mat is made out of a very soft, pliable material. I wouldn't put equipment on it, but it's fine to do body-type workouts like crunch's or pilates.

A little thin, but getting the job done, September 17, 2008
By Rotorhead (Fuquay-Varina, NC USA)
|
|
I really wanted a thicker mat, but have been unable to find one. Even the "commercial" mats I've come across on sites specializing in exercise equipment have topped out around 3/8". You can get thicker if you buy the rubber tiles, but I wanted a mat.
That said, the near commercial grade stepper I have on it fits nicely, it did not have any peculiar smells, and it seems that it will last as long as I'm careful.
Now I need a 96" long mat for my Bowflex....
