If you are tired of dragging yourself to the gym and love the idea of getting a high-quality workout in the comfort of your home, a home gym may be right for you. 

To get started, you must first decide on which of the many home gym flooring choices best fits your space and your needs. With so many types of home gym flooring choices available, this can be a confusing task.

To decide which flooring best fits your needs simply follow the 4 easy steps below.

1. First, clarify your fitness goals. If you are looking for a basic gym and want to put an elliptical or treadmill in the corner of a bedroom, all you will need is a simple rubber sheet or foam puzzle mat to go under the equipment in order to protect the floor.

If you are going to create a relatively professional workout room with heavy strength equipment you will need to cover a larger area and look at a more durable rubber floor such as the ones commonly used in commercial gyms. In this way, high-quality rubber flooring rolls are the best choice. They are versatile, available in multiple thicknesses so you can pick the right product to protect your sub-floor and your athlete's joints.

Rubber rolls also look great. When installed correctly it is difficult to tell where one ends and the next one begins, resulting in a seamless, professional appearance.

2. What kind of surface-looking are you aiming for? Is it important to you if your home gym matches the colors and design of your home? There are rubber flooring options that range from basic black to bright colors that can match almost any decor.

3. Now it is time to look at the budget. Since there is such a wide range of home gym floor options a few simple rules apply. Generally the thicker the flooring and the brighter or bolder the colors the more expensive it is. Solid black rubber flooring and mats are the least expensive and are usually made from recycled material. Usually, these mats and flooring come 15mm or 20mm thick which is a good choice for home gyms.

4. Last but not least you need to decide on your method of installation. Are you looking for a do-it-yourself project or hiring a professional installer? 

For a DIY project, interlocking rubber floor tiles are a perfect choice and can be installed quickly and easily. 

For rolled gym flooring, it is a little more complicated and many people choose to have it professionally installed although an individual with basic home repair skills can do it as well.

In summary, the right choices of rubber flooring in your home gym are the first step in creating a safe and functional home workout area. You have a lot of home gym flooring choices and there is a floor available for every budget.

Take the time to learn about the pros and cons of each type of flooring and the end result will be a home gym floor that provides you with good looks and years of use.
