My elliptical is 23 inches wide and 63 inches long. Would one mat be enough?

One should do it. The only reason I stopped using it was that one of our cats was trying to eat it or rip it apart.

I would use a thin mat under the equipment. The exercise mat is nice but thick and would likely distort.

Maybe a cold gelpak, something that is non-rigid. I don't have the mat with me at the moment, but based on my memory I think you could fit in something malleable that's no higher than 1-2".

I have a treadmill on mine. It works great for that piece of equipment. The mat is a good thickness.

I bought a GSC Expando Folding Exercise Mat, Blue. It is 2 feet x 6 feet x ~2 inches thick when unfolded. Folded, it is roughly 2 feet x 2 feet x 6 or 7 inches. I like the mat fine but wish it was bigger. It's kind of marginal for me.

It would be up to you. Mine is mounted in a double wide [trailer], with plywood floor, standard (cheap) carpet pad and short shag. Been like that for about two years with no problems and no damage to carpet, or stability problems with the gym. Have made some minor location moves (a few inches) with no problems so far. The gym gets almost daily use. We opted not to use a mat, and still feel that one is not needed (for us). And still love this gym with leg press attachment and would buy it again. Be aware that some mats may transfer discoloration / oil / solvent to a carpet.

I only 5'2", so can't speak for my experience. However, my room mate is 6'3" and uses it as a cycle sometimes. He doesn't seem to have any problems. I think the stride length would probably be an issue if you wanted to use it as an elliptical.

I use two yoga mats and it was not large enough too fit them both so I returned it. I didnt thnk it was large enough.

I don't use an elliptical but I think it should. You can email withings and they can have a better answer

Yes, you should have plenty of space, I am able to stay on an exercise mat I've laid on floor when I do the 10 minute trainer.

I'm not absolutely sure. I'm 63" so I guess my mat is roughly 66"-68" because I can lay on it with a few inches left on both sides. It's not snug in the bag, but I can't guarantee that a 72" yoga mat may be a bit snug because it's also probably a tad wider. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Although I am only 5'4", I had a friend that would use my elliptical on occasion. He is 6'2" and never had a problem. Hope this helps!

The footprint when all setup is about 4'x4'. You probably need at least another 2' all the way around it to do the exercises. To be safe, you probably need a 7'x7' area.

Yes. A mat helps reduce the number of carpet fibers that can find their way into and severely damage the treadmill's mechanical and electrical systems.

I am not sure of the problem you are describing. If your treadmill is moving quite vigorously because the floor is incredibly uneven, such that moving the arms back and forth causes the machine to move side to side or front to back, then I am not sure this mat will solve the problem. If the problem is merely that the machine is slipping to and fro on the floor (such as because the floor is slanted one way or is incredibly slick), then I think the mat would solve that problem.

Sorry I can't help you. I don't have the mat any more. It was a little to heavy for me!

As the other responders have mentioned, 1/2" mats are good for cushioning for exercise programs like P90X, Insanity or CrossFit. For long term standing, I agree with the other responders that anti-fatigue mats are probably your best bet. Or you might look for a mat that is 3/4" thick or more. Also you don't need a 48 sq foot mat because it is 4'x6', which is probably bigger than you need, although the pieces can be disassembled easily. But before you invest in mats, make sure the shoes you are wearing are appropriate for the time you will be standing. A good cushioning cross-trainer or walking shoe might be better than a mat.
