Would these work as fitness mats on top of carpet? Lots of jumping, burpees, etc. Carpet padding is not too thick, would jumping pull them apart?

I have purchased three sets. They do pull apart on carpet if used for exercise. However they are great on solid surfaces.

This mats main use is to cushion your drop on jumps while excercise but I do have a much larger mat made of same material under my treadmill in my bedroom and I also live on the 2nd floor of a 2 floor house and it does great with muffling the sound. I have never had a complaint from my downstairs neighbors on it.

It seems to me that this is a question for the manufacturer from a durability and longevity perspective (and what they warranty). However, from a materials standpoint if you are using them for a work out it may not be thick enough to absorb lots if bouncing shock. They are about 1 inch thick perfect for a wood floor or over carpet. Also, I would suggest picking them up after use because they are not designed as a long term walking surface.

They would be good for basement carpet, the backing is a vinyl-ish material that looks resistant to water and the carpet is very low pile. They are somewhere around 1/4" thick. Not sure about the padding.

No. The tiles of this mat will come apart under the pressure of your hands and whatnot and especially on the soft surface of carpet. Keep seeking stickier and thicker yoga mats.

Yes, these work well on any carpeting. I regularly practice at home, and because the palm and metatarsal surfaces are a rubberized material, you have better traction, no friction from the carpet surface. And, of course, great traction on a gym floor, whether it's wood or tile.

I'd say it would work just fine as long as the carpet and pad aren't real thick. If so, then I'd suggest using something thicker and more rigid underneath.

Absolutely. I find it more useful compare to yoga mats, which are usually narrower and thinner. The top surface of the mats are slightly corrugated so it is not slippery when you do workouts. It is both firm and cushioning. I built an area about 6'x10'. They can be quickly put away in less than two minutes.

I don't think that it wouldn't work, I just think that they are better designed for a hard surface. They may ride a little on top of the carpet, but I don't think that they would move a great distance while you workout. These are a great product and worth the risk, you can always return them if you are unhappy.

I do not see why. Although my guess is if they get wet, there could be a slight chance of slippage depending what they are being used for. I have them in my basement where I workout, lifting weights. I sweat and drip onto the mats. But I am not running on them. Hope this helps. Good Luck! Happy 4th!

I use this puzzle mat in combination with a no skid under-carpet mat. If you just use the puzzle mat on its own it will still slip around. The mat is mostly useful for its padding. It's pretty thick.

It depends on what you are doing. I have 2 mats side by side and do tons of lateral cardio movements (jumping, sprints, etc) between the two. Over the course of an hour the mats will slip maybe a total of 1" with heavy use. If I am just lifting weights there is no slippage.

Hi , What I do with my jump rope is put a mat under my feet if I am jumping on concrete. That solves it. If the concrete is smooth then no problem, but a mat is best. Hope this helps. MK

I mainly use them on an elliptical. I also use them while lifting. I've yet to have any issues of movement. They stay in place very well.

I'd say no. 1. These won't stay on the way you want. (Especially if you're doing kicking drills etc.) They slip and you'll spend more time being annoyed and adjusting than training. 2. The material is cheap. I kept having to come up with new fixes for these. Now they just sit in my closet. Actually I might as well throw them out. 3. They're actually not that heavy. I've worn combat boots that were heavier.

Our Barracuda exercise mat works well on most carpets. It may shift a bit depending on the thickness and shine/gloss of the carpet, but so far most people have found that it works well on carpet. Thanks for your interest in our product:)

They don't work to good on carpet. I wouldn't recommend you using them on carpet.
