1. Average mat - Nothing special

   Posted by Mara Tirsis on Jul 21st 2015

   The good: These mats help absorb the shock of jumping on a cement foundation and will protect your floors from damage when plopping down weights or setting a weight bench on top of them. The bad: they tend to separate on a lot of floor exercises so you have to constantly pause to reassemble the pieces. They're also not good laying them over anything but bare floors. I don't leave them down because I have pets so I don't care about the inadequate edging other people have mentioned but that would be an issue down the road if I decide to designate a room in my house as a workout room.

2. Five Stars

   Seem to be staying together well and look good. I've only been using for about two weeks though.

4. 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.
