Rubber Cal Treadmill Mat

We bought two of these, one to go under a Nordic Track x22 incline treadmill (I mention the brand because this treadmill is a beast, larger dimensions than most home treadmills and very heavy and thus was having a hard time finding an economical solution that wasn’t too small) and the other to go under a home gym, both of which would be resting on hardwood floors. We ended up going with a different solution for the home gym, but the one for the treadmill is excellent. Solid, heavy and doing its job well. The other we actually cut up smaller to use under an elliptical. We had bought another brand (read: cheaper) for it and man, that thing was a piece of junk. These mats are awesome, not super thick but nice and dense. They stay flat too, unlike the cheap one that would not flatten out no matter how much time we gave it.

The mat is what else? A rubber mat! But it's perfect if you need a rather larger mat for your gym equipment. The mat is thick as it needs to be, not too heavy nor too light. It works wonders on reducing the transfer of noise and vibration to the downstairs apartment. It's easy to clean and protects your floor rather efficient. The heat produced by the treadmill will not affect this mat and it will not come apart like others do. It's not completely black, as you will see specks of white or other colors all around the mat surface on both sides. It works well over carpet and over other types of flooring (tested the noise reduction capacity by moving the treadmill around the different floors). The price is ok if you can get it to be shipped to you for free.

Man, who wants to pay so much for a mat? Of course, when you look at the cheaper end of things everything is mostly made of garbage. So I bit the bullet and got this one despite some reviews that had me wondering. It all worked out well. The mat arrived in good condition. It was of suitable thickness and really helps control vibration. It gives the treadmill a fairly solid base on the carpet. It did have a bit of a smell, which I would consider normal for this type of product, but it did go away after a few days and was never an issue or noxious.

The mat is decent quality. I only bought one 4'x7' so I didn't care much in symmetry. It's a bit thinner than expected. Had a rubber smell that disappeared within a week. Haven't seen any shedding on this mat. But, I have a NordicTrac treadmill on this mat, and after 6 months there still is quite a large amount of "bounce" in the mat that never went away. That makes the treadmill way less stable. Maybe I need a thicker mat. Seems like it protects my vinyl wood flooring quite well. So, I would recommend it for basic gym rooms or other lighter uses. I expected it to good up better given the price point being higher.

Arrived quickly and in great shape. Nice packaging. Very good quality, and so far, great durability. I use it under my treadmill and it stays in place and does not curl up. No noticeable smell either, which is a plus. Very good product.

It fit well and I'm very pleased with the purchase. I had read the reviews and some mentioned a rubber smell and other did not. I didn't notice it that much when I took it out of the box but it got steadily worse. By the time I realized it was pretty bad, the smell had already permeated half the house so I just left it. In hindsight, it would have been an excellent idea to roll it out in the garage or outside for a couple of days before you bring it in the house. The smell went away in a few days but it might be a problem to those who are really sensitive to odors. I suspect this is characteristic of most mats. Just leave it outside to air for a couple of days to air out and it will be totally fine. Overall, it's a great mat.

The mat is probably at the highest end of home use mats. It's very rugged and is made from a thick rubber material like one might find in a gym. Very flexible, it wasn't that difficult to bend and roll or unroll. For twice the price of the flimsy mat at the local sporting goods store, I have more confidence in this that it will not break down or tear or fail to protect my treadmill. I the long run, one of these is probably cheaper than buying flimsy mats and having to replace them - fewer headaches as well.

Maybe this issue I have isn't specific to this mat but rather all rubber mat. I am certain it's affecting my health. I had it for 3 months now. I have a walk pad on top which I use while working. Recently I noticed black particles all over the furnitures around it. It's very very fine dust like particles. I also have been noticing when I blow my nose, there's greyish particles in there. I've been trying to find out what it was. My doctor says my nose was irritated and thought I had allergies, which I never had. I'm going to attribute it to this. I never had this problem until recently. I've also been having unexplained headaches. I rarely have issues with headaches but now I am getting them few times a week. I'm working towards removing this and figuring out another dampening solution.

Me gusto bastante , llego en muy buen estado

Excellent product. thick, heavy and stable. easy to clean

I thought it would be thicker... does not eliminate vibration on my treadmill. My treadmill is located though upstairs on wooden flooring so I don't think it's possible to fully eliminate anyways

I searched Amazon for a RUBBER mat and found this one. It is great. Slip resistant, shock absorbing and fits under my treadmill.

It was really heavy. But it does the job. Really good quality.
