Premium Extra Large Exercise Mat - 8' x 4' x 1/4" Ultra Durable, Non-Slip, Workout Mats for Home Gym Flooring - Jump, Cardio, MMA Mats - Use with or Without Shoes (96" Long x 48" Wide x 6mm Thick)

Like most I've read these same reviews before making my purchase and I just want to go over some of the worries that I had before buying:Is it going to work on carpet? YES! I am doing the Insanity workout and I have had no issues with the mat moving aroundIs the mat slippery? No, maybe each mat is different but out of the box and straight to working out I did not have to prep it in any wayWhat sold me is the heavy duty of the mat and the fact it's a US based family owned business and I'm glad I did, the mat has been worth every penny in the fact I'm not spending half my workout resituating a mat

I’ve been using this mat for over a week now. It’s perfect for my basement workout space. I wanted something comfortable for cardio, plyo, yoga etc because I workout mostly barefoot (occasionally with shoes) and it’s a cement floor. The mat has been awesome and has just the right amount of cushion. All of the workouts I do are Beachbody if that’s helpful for anyone to know. I actually ordered an additional mat to make my space bigger.

These are fantastic mats for body weight exercises, however they have two downsides:1) The edges of the mats are not uniformly cut. If you buy just one mat, this is not noticeable. If you buy three and try to place them next to each other, the non-square, non-straight edges are readily apparent. It’s impossible to lay three mats next to each other without gapping. I wish I was able to get one mat properly sized for my space.2) They are a bit hard to clean. Dirt and dust really clings to the mats and it’s hard to get everything with the vacuum.

Love this mat. I work out in my garage and my old mat would slip anytime I would do side-to-side exercises (e.g. speed skaters). I don't know how they did it, but this mat does not slip at all - it sticks like glue to my concrete floor. It's pretty cushy (not quite as cushy as I thought it would be, but still feels good). It wipes easily and it is super thick and feels like it will last a long time. My only complaint is that if your skin comes in contact with the mat while you are sweaty (such as doing planks or push ups) it is as slippery as baby snot. So, in order to get around that issue I use the microfiber rag that comes with the mat (which is really nice as well) and put that under my hands or arms when doing those types of exercises. Overall really high-quality and nice mat.

I've only had this mat for a week. Size is perfect for my space. I was primarily getting this for floor cardio classes (like Insanity), yoga, and body weight strength training. The cushion is great, it feels wonderful for yoga but also durable enough for plyometric training that I don't think it'll rip easily. That being said I was HUGELY disappointed in it staying PUT during my Insanity workout. Granted I AM on carpet, but multiple reviews said it was great for carpet. I just wanted to fix that misconception. My video shows "Heisman 1-2-3" and "butt kicks" in the Insanity workout. The picture shows after my workout. Yikes.I WILL keep it. But need to decide what to do with it. Maybe heavy weights in the corners? Maybe better form (trying to get back after baby number three) regardless, something needs to happen.It's a five star product. My expectations were off.

Well made product. It's saving my carpet when I exercise in front of the TV and deadens the noise if I drop a weight. I don't have a place to leave it out all the time but it isn't a big deal to roll it up quickly at the end of a workout.Was excited to use it and be able to switch yoga at the end of a workout, but my hands slip--the surface has a kind of greasy feel. I'm hoping with continued use that may change.Very happy with the purchase and I expect to be using for a long time

After two stress fractures in one year, I decided I needed something better than the tile floor to work out on. I researched multiple options and decided to give the Gorilla Mat a try. I instantly loved it! I have done all kinds of cardio on it and it doesn't move at all under my feet. The size is perfect for me to do side to side movements and still be on the mat. It is also great for using under my personal size mat to give extra cushioning for knees and back. Overall, this was a great purchase and my knees and bones are already thanking me!

I highly recommend this mat. I love it for home exercising. It has a great lining on top that gives it both grip and a good firm feel. I put it down on the floor and it has not slid a bit after a couple of weeks of daily aerobics. Quality is always worth paying for, in my opinion, and this is worth every dollar. I've gone through several cheaper mats that required me to apply double-sided carpet tape to them in a fruitless effort to keep them from sliding. And, the cheaper mats start shredding little pieces of mat all over your room after a time. I'm sure I'll get long use out of this mat. When it comes time to get another mat, this is what I will look for.
