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.

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

Was happy with quality and would buy again.

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.
