1. Light weight, overall good value

   Posted by Bob Bannon on Jul 21st 2015

   Easy to put together, but very light. I was hoping it would be a thicker rubber matt, but it is a foam. I dropped a 10 lb weight and it poked a hole right through the matt. Other than that, it gets the job done and nice to workout on instead of concrete floor, but not dropping weights on this.

2. Good but needs help for Insanity

   Posted by Bob P. on Jul 21st 2015

   I did Insanity inside for a while, but I got tired of moving furniture (actually my wife did) so I started working out in the garage. It has epoxy paint over the concrete floor - so very hard and slippery. This product sounded good for padding and grip, and at a reasonable price.
   I ordered 5 packs to have enough for a 10' x 10' area to have enough room for a few of us to work out. There are enough leftovers so that I can expand it to 10' x 12' later.
   
   The colors of the different packages did not all match. It wasn't horrible, but definitely noticeable. Pix coming later. Also it seemed that the like-color pieces fit together the best. There were plenty of edge and corner pieces. To get enough "middle edge" pieces, you have to trim some other edge pieces with a scissors, but it's not hard at all. There is a little plastic smell but it's not that noticeable, and it's going away.
   
   We did insanity once.
   Good news: the surface was really grippy and we didn't slip at all. This was a nice change - I'm used to slipping quite a bit. (OK, I sweat a lot).
   Bad news: the tiles came apart in three places. After the workout, we flipped the mat over and taped every seam with 3M Scotch Pro Strength Duct Tape, 1.88-Inch by 60-Yard, 1-Pack (1260). And of course flipped it right-side up.

3. Great Mats

   Posted by Ryan on Jul 8th 2015

   I read another review on here that said I wouldn't have enough edge pieces to assemble multiple mat packages into bigger mat. Not the case. I bought 2 packages and had all the edge pieces I needed to assemble them in a 4X3 configuration measuring 8'x6' and frame it so there were no jagged edges (even had a bunch of edge pieces left over.) The mat has good cushion and my toes don't slip when I do push-ups. Good color uniformity across the tiles. Very pleased. I spent $50 for 2 packages, you can't beat that. I saw some reviewers for other mats recommending not buying on Amazon and instead spending about $300 dollars to get specialty mats on some other rubber mat website, [...] If you follow that advice, I think you will overpay by several hundred dollars. These mats will do well for P90x, Insanity, or whatever workout needs you have, and for much less money. Highly recommend.

4. Great results after a month of P90x

   Posted by J. West on Jul 8th 2015

   I use this for P90x in my concrete garage. So far, it has held up well after a month or so of use. For reference, I work out on it, doing warmups and Plyometrics, yoga, etc, 3-4 times a week and I weight about 200 lbs. Definitely reduces the stress on my knees.
