 Great mats for high intensity workouts Sep 13, 2010
By Chris
These are great quality mats, especially for the price. My wife and I are using them for our P90x and Insanity workouts and you cannot tell there is a tile floor underneath them. We were on the fence between the 1/2" and 3/4", but happy we went with the 1/2". It seems to be about the perfect balance of support without being too spongy. I would not want anything thinner on a hard surface. They fit together easily and do not slide or move on the floor (I did not put down any adhesive). With all of the up and downs in Insanity, these are the perfect mats.

 Ok for BJJ! Sep 11, 2010
By Michael A. Bertone Jr.
I ordered these mats specifically to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in my house. I took a chance on the thickness as I had never purchased mats before. The 1/2" thick should be fine for medium-high intensity ground work. You won't feel the floor through the mats unless you do something like elbow straight down in to them. That being said, I wouldn't take the chance of doing throws or shooting takedowns without knee pads. If you land flat you should be fine but any angle from a height might get you banged up. Also, I'm 175 lbs so your results may vary.
100 sq ft gives you a nice 10x10ft area which is far more than you get on a crowded mat when training at a school. I'd recommend this exact order. Certainly worth the $.
If you're thinking about going thinner you MIGHT be able to get away with it if you only plan on drilling or flow rolling. At 1/2" I think you could turn up the intensity just short of throws and still be safe.

Perfect for a home gym Jan 14, 2011
By Chris B.
"Tech Junky"
We've had the mats for a oouple months, and we've been very happy with the purchase.
1. No annoying smell
2. Everything fit together as planned (you will likely have extra 'edge' pieces which is nice in case something gets damaged)
3. Although with heavy items (weights, treadmill, etc...) these mats will dent, and initially it seems permanent. However, I've noticed that over time the dents diminish to the point where it's not obvious or annoying. (I'm only using my dumbells for this assessment. I would imagine dents from something very heavy may not come back as well.)
Overall, no complaints.

 Have the right expectations and you'll be fine. Feb 25, 2011
By Gabriel Savarese
I have purchased these mats twice (2 different thicknesses) and both times they were simply not the right product for my usage. If you do any sort of aerobic, cardio, plyometric or even yoga, these mats simply suck and will frustrate you beyong belief as they slide around as you're jumping up and down like a lunatic in your workout area causing you to potentially get injured if you're not careful.
I do P90X/Insanity workouts and needed some padding over berber carpet. I bought thicker pads most recently expecting they'd be somewhat more stable and slide less. I was wrong. The pads slide so much that they bend up against the wall in the room, making the pad buckle which in turn causes stress on the joints which in turn causes you to drag the mat away from the wall in a fit of testosterone filled rage causing you to stress the joints even more and when the entire mat is now laying flat you can clearly see where all the stress is on the interlocking pieces because there are gaps that you now get your feet caught in all; the time which causes the gaps to worsen. All this keeps happening over and over again while all you are trying to do is your 35-60 minute workout in peace.
The quality is fine, but in my opinion the are best served under your treadmill or weightbench and not to be exercised on. The questions is, what kind of reasonably priced flooring can you actually exercise on, I don't know. Just have the right expectations and you won't be disappointed.

Great Product Dec 29, 2011
By Sam R
We put these mats in our basement over concrete to create a workout room. They go together easily, stay together quite well even with running in place or moving back and forth over them, and provide just the right amount of cushion. Delivery was also very prompt. After putting down the first 300 or so sq feet, we decided to expand the area, and so I ordered another package from the same seller. Very satisfied. The black ones do show dust, but it's just a basement workout area so no big deal. Might have been better to have used the grey.
