will weights damage the floor?

any weight will leave an indentation on this material, however as the weight in removed it will spring back, this may take sometime. It is important to have a solid sub floor under the mats. If you drop the weights to the floor it may still damage the sub flooring, they can withstand a limited amount. They should work well for your purposes.

As others have noted, weights will likely damage the tiles. In short time, numerous permanent indentation marks were made by my dumbbells. I never toss my weights, but I'd estimate that setting weights down on the tiles that are more than 50 pounds is where damage might begin to occur. These mats are advertised as gym flooring; however, they are not suitable for a weight room. My solution was placing rubber mats on top of them. Rubber mats are much more expensive, but are what I'd recommend for somebody looking to set up a weight room.

I am unsure about how much weight your weights weigh, but we had these in the garage and had several things on them; moved to another town and had them in a basement again with many shelves, kids play things, exercise equipment etc; moved one more time and didn't need them sold them at a garage sale, they still looked great and got almost what we paid for them.

definitely, if put on directly. If you place the weights on something that can distribute the weight, you may be ok. I use a spare tile as a "mat" to put things on to protect the floor.

Not at all. I absolutely love this chair. It is by far my favorite purchase for my baby boy and I did SO much research and thought about it because of the tray too! Trust me you will love it. It's super easy to clean, use and to roll around. I roll him to the bathroom, take the tray out and wash his hands over the sink after each meal. I have hardwood floors and it does not damage them.

I have wood and tile ..... honestly don't think it would damage floors it is lightweight and usually what goes in it is too...just bulky

No, because it hits a metal bar at the bottom. You could let it hit the bottom, take off the extra weight, and resume your workout.

This should not be an issue. The mat is quite hard and impervious to denting, even to my 220lb torso.

I have not weighed everything, but I have sweaters and shoes on the floor and FULL of hanging clothes. works for me.... Don't want to move it around when full

Sure but it will certainly compromise the structural integrity of the plastics especially the floor from repeated movements. Also, if the surface is varies too much you may have trouble with glide top and doors aligning and functioning properly.

Well I weigh 238lbs and have walked on the floor with no problems. You could add some extra support to the floor.

Yes, it'll decline where the bar is. The bench isn't very sturdy if you're a big person. The rack was fine. I had no issues loading up my weights.

Agree with V.B. My bathroom floor has small hexagonal tiles and the scale fluctuates. On the hall wood floor it takes a few seconds (and me keeping still) to display the weight. It does visually waver thru a few ounces each way before displaying the weight.

Yes. I used these on top of hardwood floors and I even had an Olympic bench bar loaded with 20 lbs on each side get dropped by a child playing in my gym and the floors were untouched. Don't worry, child wasn't hurt either and we explained it was dangerous to play in the gym and never happened again. as an extra precaution I put cheap thin plastic mats under the entire room and used these heavy rubber mats under major equipment like my smith machine.

Yes, the weight changes when I move it. I also have uneven linoleum on certain parts of my floor though. My replacement scale has been fairly accurate on level ground. Weight only fluctuates up or down by no more than a quarter pound. So... My replacement scale is semi-accurate on a hard even surface. I can live with very small weight variations.

Absolutely. I used to do the system when I lived on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex and my neighbors had no issue with me. As the others have said, Tony stresses the importance of soft landings. I had carpet and would do the workouts in my shoes but as long as I didn't stomp there were no issues. It's a great system, you should have no problems whatsoever.

no problems with the balance. Make sure dumbbell weights are on a hard, perfectly flat surface to install on the EZ bar. Carpet or rug will not work. As mentioned in another comment you will want to use gloves as the grips are pretty rough. All-in-all this is a pretty useful piece of equipment.

Is it suitable for use on the second floor of a house - Yeswould the weight and movement make too much noise and/or damage the floor? - not if you put it on a mat

No although your feet will hang over in front and back just position your feet in the middle facing the numbers and it will give you a correct weight.

I don't use any. The rack doesn't move around and if you don't slam you weights the floor won't crack. I love this rack
