A commercial weightlifting environment and home free weights area look a little different but have similar qualities. Weightlifting is a hugely popular type of workout to burn fat and increase muscle. Whether you’re looking for a way to work out more at home or need to upgrade your free weights zone at your gym, you will need to focus on your equipment and flooring. 

It’s no surprise that weights are heavy. With that weight comes increased noise and the potential to damage your subfloor. When it comes to weightlifting platforms, the most popular flooring material tends to be rubber. This is because rubber is naturally durable, resilient, and non-slip. But on top of this, it’s important to look for products that are specifically designed for heavy weights.  

With gym mats, the idea is that the heavier the equipment, the thicker your mat needs to be. You need to consider how you will protect your floor, reduce noise, and improve grip. Naturally, fitness and lifting weights are riskier in terms of injury. So, you need to make sure you do everything you can to create a safe weightlifting environment.
