P.T. Studio Flooring: Essential Choices for Safety, Durability & Style

When you think of great gym or personal fitness studio design, you probably don’t immediately think of the flooring. But, your gym flooring is key to creating a safe and high-performing fitness environment. It creates a solid foundation for fitness at all levels which is essential to accommodate all clients requirements.

Whether it’s a home or commercial gym space, it’s worth investing in the right gym flooring and getting it right first time.

With any type of fitness area, it’s important that your layout makes the most out of the space you have. Your studio design involves several different elements. Your layout and design can have a huge impact on how you can use the space and what you can use it for.

Although it’s not as exciting as choosing brand new gym equipment, a crucial part of your gym design is the flooring you choose. Your entire gym design needs a strong foundation and that starts with the floor. Above all, your gym needs to be safe and support optimum performance.

Your gym flooring can elevate your studio design and enhance your overall functional usage. When you cater for many different clients with varying requirements you want their fitness sessions to feel unique and have all the benefits of a commercial gym space. Here are five reasons why your flooring plays a big role in studio design.

If you’re lifting weights, sprinting, stretching, or doing a HIIT workout; naturally, your body needs more protection. Without the right surface, it’s far too easy to slip and fall over. This not only results in a potential injury but hinders your ability to perform well. Gym flooring is an essential part of creating a safe space for exercise and fitness.

Features like shock absorption, non-slip qualities, and bounce allow you to perform safely at an optimum level. When you feel supported by your foundation, you can reach your fitness goals without worrying about potential injury or accidents.

Gym flooring helps to protect your sub flooring. Depending on your situation, your needs will vary. For a commercial gym, you may need to maintain the quality of your flooring and worry that you may damage the flooring when you use heavy gym weights or equipment. Or perhaps you’re using a spare room at home and want to protect the flooring from potential surface damage.

Good gym flooring is durable, shock absorbent, and has plenty of traction. It should feel like it supports your movement and allows you to hit those high-performance levels. When using a gym, you probably don’t even think twice about the stable surface. But without good traction, resistance training, HIIT, and other workouts would seem much more difficult.

Finally, your flooring can add a splash of colour and energise your fitness space. It's a great way to upgrade your home gym and if you want something bright or with a fleck, you can make a real impact on the look and feel of your gym.

Sometimes it’s tempting to leave your flooring choice until the very last moment. But gym flooring is a crucial element of your gym design. It’s always a good idea to match your fitness needs and goals to your flooring choice. Here are some of the top flooring options for your gym design.
