- Welcome Everyone!
Today’s video is going to be about Gym Flooring options for your home gym. My personal preference when it comes to the best value is 100% the ¾” 4’x6’ horse stall mats that you can find at a local tractor supply or Rural King. However, the other mats you can buy can come in handy as well. In this video I’ll give all the tips I’ve learned over the past 7 years as I have acquired more and more for my personal gym.

Best thing I learned is buy all the mats you need at once and do same day delivery.
Tractor Supply only charged me $70 to deliver 30 mats. Insanely good deal.
Now that’s a fantastic deal! 30 mats is quite a nice size… sounds like you will have quite the gym!
You’re awesome for sharing this.💪🏾
You are awesome for taking the time to view my content and leave your feedback !
thank you this helped me
No problem glad it helped! Good luck with your home gym!
@@MMuniz thanks!
This info is priceless
Thanks man! I was thinking about doing an updated video since it’s gotten so much positive feedback in views lol
great knowledge!
Thank you!
Another great info video. So glad I don’t have to move those damn mats!
Hahah I remember you used to have to move them occasionally 😂
4 ft. x 6 ft. Thick Rubber Stall Mat at Tractor Supply today in California is $58.99. FML… actually FMstate.
Lmao, I’m in New York so I feel you there, though not nearly as bad. Yeah when I made the video they had gone up significantly, and now even more so. Inflation sucks. However, check out some competitors like rural king, maybe they are cheaper and you can get a deal with tractor supply by using them for your business!
129.99 in Canada
Would you recommend horse stall mats for carpet floors as well? Should I put plywood on top of the carpet first and then the rubber mats, or is just rubber mats enough?
Hmmm tbh if the gym is doing to be there a while, I would remove the carpet and put the mats on the subfloor. The mats will destroy the carpet overtime leaving black residue. Plus, below the carpet is the subfloor which is your plywood
I got the ProSource Foam Tiles at my Apt and they have been great so far! So your recommending people go ask for the manager? Haha
Nice! Did you get a bike yet? I have been setting up for a video comparing a peloton to a bike erg. Always! Easy way to save money lol. I’m always haggling for a deal with everything. Even my steaks at the local grocery store. (Jk)
@@MMuniz Yea I got it like a month ago and it's been great the days where I don't feel like going to the gym. lol I feel like that would only work if the manager is also the owner cause most times prices are at a set corporate price.
@@citizenoftheyearCC for groceries it definitely won’t work but for a lot of companies you can try. Home Depot for example you can haggle with. Sometimes they will do a 10% price beat if you ask the manager. Proven! It’s crazy but most good managers won’t want to lose the business to a competitor so they will go for the sale. Especially in construction business where a lot of them are paid on revenues/ profits, as long as the year aren’t selling for a loss they are winning
Advice: be a Karen #ineedtospeaktothemanager
Foam tiles are fine if you are doing yoga lol. If you are actually lifting foam matts are useless.
Any recommendations about how to mitigate/manage odor associated with horse stall mats?
Great question. If you can leave them outside for a couple days this definitely helps air them out. Preferably spread out a little if possible. Like on a drive way. After a few days it should help a ton
@@MMuniz When do they stop smelling completely? I would like to build my homegym in my bedroom but a bad odor would be a no go.
@@rocksmo3384 in terms of horse stall mats I can’t say that they ever completely are odor free, it will always smell somewhat like a gym (barely noticeable). I think after they have been outside for around 2 weeks I don’t think they will get any less rubber smell sadly. Personally I don’t think this is an issue, it’s only super strong when they are new and first put in an area.
horsestalls are not good for basements they need some constant airflow or they create odor fast
@@devakishore2043 What would you recommend?
Cotton socks with holes make great rags
Exactly! Kathryn has some socks that need to join the rag collection!
I just mop the floor every two weeks
Nothing wrong with this. I’ve got a mop
Ready to go as well. Typically once in spring and once in autumn
What about the smell? How do you get the smell out?
Let them air out for a few days , sitting on 2x4s to let air go above and below them. This helps a ton. Then if needed use simple green to scrub them top and bottom. But honestly after they air out for a few days it goes away.
How did you install the flooring
Great question! Vinyl plank is super easy and only requires a few basic tools like a rubber mallet, hammer, and razor. You can check out home renovision DIY that I have linked, they have a video on how to install luxury vinyl plank just like this one. Or you can just RUclips it and there are a bunch of great videos on it. This is exactly what I did to learn
Too much talking
