What Flooring Is Best for a Home Gym
The best home gym flooring is 3/4 inch rubber—either commercial gym flooring or horse stall mats. Stall mats from Tractor Supply ($40-50 per 4x6 mat) are the budget champion—nearly identical to gym mats at a fraction of the price. EVA foam tiles are cheaper but don't handle heavy weights. Carpet damages under dropped weights. For heavy lifting, invest in real rubber—3/4 inch minimum.
