 Versatile, high quality mat Nov 12, 2008
By A. Raring
My wife uses and elliptical machine religiously. We just moved into a different home that happens to have brand new carpet. We naturally wanted an exercise equipment mat to protect the flooring. The placement of the equipment, however, is in a corner where too long of a mat would have extended into a traffic area. After looking at all the mats on Amazon, it was obvious that the standard length is 70+" (72 mostly) whereas we needed just 60-65".
We ordered this mat and placed it under the machine. It is 84 inches long segmented into 12" folding sections. The material is very high quality and it does not mark or stain the carpet. With the folds, this mat fit perfectly under our unit. It should be noted that the elliptical has front and rear feet with a raised portion in between. The folded section fits underneath this raised portion. If you have a flat or wobbly piece of equipment, you may not want to fold the mat as the folded section is obviously a tad higher than the adjacent mat. It was perfect for what we needed.

Good value, easy to fold, perfect for a treadmill Feb 02, 2010
By A. Dent
"Aragorn"
The Stamina earns its 5 stars for providing value (good function on a relatively low price) and convenience as it can fold in a 3 ft. by 1 ft. bundle for quick and easy storage when needed if one must exercise in a room whose primary function may be something other than a home gym. I purchased mine for my treadmill and I am very happy with my purchase, so far.
Briefly, here are the more important facts worth knowing:
- 3 ft. wide by 7 ft. long. It's the perfect size for my full-size treadmill.
- Divided into 7 folds, 1 ft. each, making it easy to pack/unpack when needed.
- 1/4 inch thick, dense foam synthetic material.
- Textured surface.
- Slippery when wet.
- Easy to clean.
- 90 days limited warranty which, as it's ALWAYS the case with item in this price range is mostly symbolic - if it comes broken, simply return it.
The Stamina spent a couple of months under a treadmill that's used almost daily, often by more than one person. Unlike the rubber-coated equipment mats, this one sticks to the floor and holds the treadmill in place at the same time. I have no complaints at this time and, in fact, I am about to order a second one, probably the 6 ft. version, for our little Bowflex.

Large enough to be useful Dec 31, 2010
By Tyler Forge
"realist"
Finally, a wide enough mat. Wide enough for a man. Actually, a smallish sweaty man. Sweating on the carpet is not cool. Working out partially on a mat and partially on tile/wood just plain sux.
Mostly though, I want a mat large enough to catch all that drippage so I can hose the thing off every now and then and make things clean again.
This mat is large enough that I can have both hands and both feet on it during push-ups. Those little yoga roll ups and stuff aren't sufficient. Also, my recumbent stationary bike fits completely over it. Once again, no sweat on the carpet.
This mat does fold up for storage/haulage and isn't very heavy. The material isn't nearly as robust as the stuff my treadmill mat is made from. On the other hand, that mat isn't going anywhere because it's too heavy and doesn't roll up well or easily.
This mat, however, is just about perfect for plopping on the carpet and getting some exercise.

 Treadmill is ripping it up Jul 22, 2010
By Erik J. Mccullough
"Erik"
So, we have a very heavy treadmill, probably in the top 5% of treadmill size and weight, and this thing is being turned into a rag doll by the treadmill. However, the way this is made with the same materials as any other mat, so I'm not sure it's the mat's problem. The mat is also on carpet, which is harder. So net net --- this thing isn't perfect, but I'm struggling if it's a problem with the mat or if it would have happened regardless.

 Great buy Aug 31, 2009
By Amy Mitchell
I bought this product mainly because it folded flat and figured it would pack better when/if I had to move it. What a great buy it was, it came packed well and was pretty light weight. It was so simple to move the treadmill, unfold the mat and then put the treadmill back on. It is a bit to long but I just refolded one of the sections and it is perfect.
