We’re increasingly seeing our customers aware of the impact the right combination of flooring can have on the look and feel of a gym, as well as the added benefit of the protection it gives to the sub-floor together with the positive impact on a gym’s acoustics.
The Gym Gear team recently completed a full refurbishment project for Brio Leisure, at their Northwich Memorial Court site. The leisure centre required an increased floor area for the free weights, functional training and HIIT spaces. For this project we used a combination of shock pad underlay to manage the vibration and acoustics, covered with our premium rubber tiles and turf tiles. The turf tiles are rubber tiles with a thick pile artificial grass surface, which is perfect for functional training areas where sleds may be used.
We also combined our turf tiles with a contrasting black sprint track for visual effect. The free weights area features our premium EPDM topped rubber tiles, which were used to protect the sub-floor from any dropped weights. Oak lifting platform inserts were embedded into the rubber flooring to provide a seamless floor level, and create better space efficiency around the half racks. The result is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also means there’s less of a potential trip hazard.
