Gorilla Mats Premium Extra Large Exercise Mat – 10' x 4' x 1/4" Ultra Durable, Non-Slip, Workout Mat for Instant Home Gym Flooring – Works Great on Any Floor Type or Carpet – Use With or Without Shoes

UPDATE Oct 2020: Gorilla Mat customer service came through and the company 100% followed through with their warranty policy. I just received 2 new mats in perfect condition. I made my new rating 4 stars just until I break these in and get confidence back in the product, which I'm certain I will.UPDATE Sept 2020: Both mats purchased are completely shredding. It's just my wife and I on the mats, lifting weights and some running/jumping. Multiple areas have just worn down, leaving your shoes covered in small mat particles. These little black mat pieces get everywhere, it's a total mess. If you plan on using these mats in a workout setting, know that they will start to wear down and essentially disintegrate. I'm really frustrated, now I must replace both.UPDATE May 2020: I lowered my rating for this mat as a large area started to wear down and leave small pieces that stick to my shoes and get all over my workout room. I’m afraid the durability just isn’t there. I’m on these mats 7 days a week, but this particular wear area isn’t stressed any more than the rest of the 2 mats I purchased.I moved into a home with tile floors in the room I wanted to use as an exercise space. I received a quote from a local gym equipment provider and received a quote of over $750 to protect the space. These mats cover most of the room, I purchased two and cover a 10'x8' space. The only reason I don't give a 5/5 for durability is because I'm having some issues with the "joint" where I have the mats meet up curling just a little and a few corners curling. There was really no smell from the new mats, which was nice. I have weights sitting on the corners and middle seam to "teach" the mat to stay flat, we'll see how it goes. Overall, great mats for the price and will definitely protect my floor while I lift and do HIIT training. Also, each mat came with a really nice towel that I thought might be junk, but ended up being really nice quality. Thanks for a great product!

My husband is an athlete. 44 but with 5% body fat, drinks these nasty protein shakes, never eats dessert, the vitamins....I don't get it. Ran 10-15 miles daily until shin splints so now he bikes 50 miles a day and when he can't get outside he does Insanity in the basement...the 30 minute Insanity because the hour one was too easy. (I do not understand you people. You're all loony.) Anyway. He loves it. I love him. I don't get it, but...ok. Cool.He uses those square interlocking tile things on top of a thin nonslip antibacterial mat laid on 7mil laminate on a concrete slab. As you fitness weirdos probably know, those tiles come apart with all the jumping and the kicking and the other weird things you do while being yelled at through a tv by a stranger. (But hey, you do you)This is the 3rd round of tiles in two years and I thought he deserved better, so for Father's Day I researched the crap out of these things and everyone who does weirdo fitness things and has internet access took time out of their protein-shake-drinking, nasty-granola-bar-eating, jump-push-drop-punch-jump schedule to write very nice things about this mat.It arrived before promised, in appropriate packaging, was lightweight enough for my smoking drinking 125 lb flat unhealthy butt to drag inside and hide in a closet until Father's Day, and most importantly, my fitness weirdo LOVES it. He said (in between gulps of protein shake) that it doesn't slide, his shoes do what they're supposed to (whatever THAT means, you freaks will get it) (I guess it's kinda a big deal because DEAR LORD EVERY WEEK IT'S I NEED NEW FITNESS SHOES my eyes glaze over just smile and nod)In summary, a 44 year old, 6'1", 195 lb lunatic with 6% body fat who puts so much torque on his road bike wheels that he throws spokes on 300 lb rated wheels...if he likes it, and you're anything like him, you'll like it too.Now I need a beer, just writing that was exhausting.Buncha weirdos.

I bought Gorilla Mats late last year because I was looking for good quality mats for my home gym. I have been working out to P90X, RUSHFIT and Body Beast at home for years . I also have a full pull-up & dip station in my livingroom. In a nutshell, I was looking for a mat that is tough, build to last and provide enough support to protect my joints and floors.After extensive research online & Amazon, I came across Gorilla Mats. I liked the fact that it's a small family business with many positive reviews. They are not cheap but judging from the testimonials I've read online, the mats are made out of quality materials. They also come with Lifetime warranty. I decided to buy two of them, they were shipped quickly and arrived at my door within 2 days.I'm glad to report that It's one of the best investments I've made for my home gym (right up there with my Powerblocks U90). You can tell that Gorilla Mats are made of quality materials the moment you lay it on the floor. The weight of the mat and patterns on the bottom-side does a decent job at helping the mat stay in place during exercises. They're thick, durable and most importantly, I feel safe jumping on the mats when I do plyometric exercises! I also love the Gorilla logo on the mat (See picture).I also want to give a shout out to Zach at Gorilla Mats. He was great at answering my questions. The PDF he sends out with FAQs about the mats is also a nice touch. These value adds really gave me assurance that the folks behind Gorilla Mats are passionate about their business. If you're looking to build your home gym, give Gorilla Mats a shot. It'll be one of the best and necessary investments you'll ever make!
