We’re proud to announce that Sprung Gym-Flooring has become an official sponsor and flooring partner of Natural Strongman, supplying our engineered Antishock gym tiles to support elite strongman competitors across events and training spaces throughout the UK.
Natural Strongman is one of the most respected strength-sport federations in the UK, dedicated to promoting natural strength competitions that are inclusive, fair and focused on athletic performance.
Why Natural Strongman & Why Our Flooring
Natural Strongman has cultivated a dynamic competitive pathway across Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland, with weight-class divisions for men and women, and a calendar of events beginning with Natural Scotland’s Strongest Man & Woman on 24th January 2026 at Wishaw Sports Centre.
We’re honoured to be chosen as their official flooring partner - and it’s no accident. Our Antishock extra thick gym mats are specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of strongman training and competition:
Engineered Protection for Athletes
Heavy lifts and dynamic moves such as deadlifts, yoke carries, overhead presses and atlas stone practice place intense loads on the body. The high-density rubber composition and impact-absorbing layers of our Antishock tiles:
- Reduce impact forces on joints, muscles and connective tissues, helping to minimise fatigue and lower the risk of strain or injury during repeated heavy drops or explosive movements.
- Create a stable, cushioned platform that supports athletes through forceful lifting phases, reducing micro-trauma to hips, knees and ankles.
This performance-focused design is essential where athletes train with maximal weights and explosive intent, maintaining both safety and competitive edge.
Noise & Vibration Reduction
Strongman environments can be noisy: heavy weights hitting the platform, plates clanging and equipment shifting can create disruptive acoustics. Our Antishock free weights flooring tiles provide:
- Superior sound dampening, absorbing and reducing noise from heavy drops rather than transmitting it through the floor or into adjacent spaces.
- Vibration control, limiting sound and ground-borne energy that can detract from a high-focus training environment or interfere with judging and communication during events.
This engineered acoustic performance not only enhances athlete focus, but also makes competition venues and shared gym facilities more enjoyable and comfortable for everyone, athletes, coaches, and spectators alike.
Overall, the strength, durability and technical performance of our flooring solutions make them a perfect fit for Natural Strongman’s commitment to elite-level competition, giving athletes the confidence to push limits, train harder and perform at their best.
