Are rubber fitness tiles suitable for multipurpose training rooms?

Rubber fitness tiles are well suited to multipurpose training rooms used for different activities from one session to the next, provided the tile thickness, elasticity and cushioning are matched to the training planned for the space. Rubber granules form the basis of multi-layer fitness flooring systems. Depending on the intended use, either these systems or fitness mats can be used.

Both can accommodate a varied programme of group classes, suspension training, kettlebell and sandbag work, athletic conditioning, gymnastics and martial arts. In each case, the flooring cushions impacts, reduces impact noise and vibration, and protects the subfloor from damage caused by mechanical loads.

Slip-resistant surfaces provide stable footing and allow controlled movement. Where the same floor area is subject to widely varying loads, multi-layer systems combine a dense, abrasion-resistant top layer with a more elastic cushioning layer beneath. The result is a hard-wearing training surface that also cushions impacts and reduces vibration.

WARCO fitness tiles are laid loose without mortar or adhesive (dry-laid) and held in place by a jigsaw interlock or dovetail joint. Individual tiles can therefore be lifted, relaid or replaced one at a time. All WARCO flooring can be cleaned with alcohol-based cleaners and disinfectants.

WARCO fitness flooring is particularly suited to training rooms in sports clubs, group exercise studios, commercial gyms and functional training boxes where the same area is used for different activities.
