Our most popular Exercise Equipment Mat: Perfect for all Fitness Equipment
Stamina Fold-to-Fit Folding Equipment Mat
Over the years we have recommended thousands of users to buy their perfect exercise equipment. What we find is that a good number of them also buy the Stamina Fold Equipment Mat.
If you just have one or two bits of equipment this is the perfect solution to help protect your floors and insulate the equipment to prevent damage, vibration and noise. The key feature of this mat is that its designed to safely fold up. So if the 84″x36″ area is a little to much then you can tuck the extra away.
It consists of seven sections of closed cell foam and is designed to be non slip, so your bike won’t slide about, plus the size is generous enough to fit under most equipment.

The best mats For Ellipticals, Treadmills and Rowers
These are some slightly longer mats that are designed for the bigger equipment in your gym.
Super Mats heavy duty – 5′ Long Mat
It may only be 2’6″ wide, but at 5ft long this is the perfect mat to go under your elliptical trainer or treadmill. Because its made from PVC and not soft foam or even rubber it is solid and durable. This is what you want, particularly under treadmills, as it prevents the slight wobble that you can get from foam. Your fitness equipment should be on a safe solid base. The PVC provides that and more. This mat is perfect for keeping noise down and sweat off the floor. Also because the PVC is so durable it will last for years and keep looking good.
