Do you need a mat underneath if you the subfloor is concrete? (carpet is top layer)

No, I run mine in a basement directly on the concrete usually 4 miles a day and it works great.

Short answer is I'm not sure. I have mine on carpet over wood flooring, and it is just fine.

Ours does fine in same set-up (concrete basement floor with pad and carpet, but no mat). We have not had a problem with it moving or damaging berber carpet.

I'm doing it on concrete, too. (In the garage). I use a yoga mat, nothing special. Love the cds!

Not sure how to answer. I bought this "mat" for a friend who stands on her feet all day for work. It cushions what would normally be a hard and unforgiving floor. Why you would put it under a mattress top, I'm not sure? If you are seeking "padding" for the concrete floor, I don't think two would do it ... Check the dimensions, these are not big mats.

of course, there is no reason not to. as i have advised before, this is the perfect mat for all floor exercises but not standing balance exercises because the thickness does not allow you to get a firm grip or foot grasp of the floor. I ALWAYS USE IT ON A CARPET.

I did without incident.. in fact I now have it on a carpet rug on carpet since I am in a rental with nice carpet... but even direct on carpet I had no issues... it does mention in the instructions to put a mat under it on carpet incase of leaving marks from the motor... but has never been an issue for me and I have both the red and the black model.

It does not come with a floor kit. I built mine on a concrete slab. I highly re come d this option anytime you go larger than about 10x12

I am not sure since I have never used either of those mats. I only use this in the basement on carpet so it is enough cushion for me. I doubt it would be that good on concrete though.

The manuf. SUGGESTS that they NOT be placed over the regular "carpet" mats. But I have them installed right over the regular mats and they fit. It's a hair "tight" to get the floor posts through all of the holes -- but you can do it with a minimum of effort. I think it's safe enough. I really LIKE these rubber mats.Good luck!

mine is on the carpet, but due to the material this is made out of and how it feels i cannit see this sliding at all on concrete. this is a 75 pound thick rubber mat that is course at the feel which gives this traction to stick. this is not a smooth plastic layer yoga mat that would slide around on smooth surface. Just imagine placing 75 pounds on the floor and trying to move it around now add sticking rough surface like this mat is and you have one sturdy floor mat. hope this helps you.

I have one under mine but mine is on laminate flooring. If it were on carpeting, I would put something. I put 2 rubber mats, one under front and one under back.

I have hard wood floors and no carpet so am unable to answer your question.

Yes , I use the stability mats even on a carpeted floor. The mats offer more than just stability , they also offer padding for the Total Gym.

No. You might want to put down a noskid mat or area rug under it. However it is only the outside perimeter and the perimeter of the small opening in the middle that is in contact with the floor. The raised part of the platform that the chair sits on does not touch the floor. I have hardwood floors and it works like a charm.

I bought the mat along with the treadmill, but I haven't used it. I don't believe it is necessary on carpet floors.

Mats came with the unit. It does still move from time to time. I have it on laminate flooring.

No. the front mats have to be removed in order to use the post/knob in the floor to hold the new mats in place. The back mats do not have the same post/knobs so you could if you wanted to. If you tried to use these new rubber mats over the top of the carpet mats I am not sure what result you would get. It would be bulky and I am not sure if there is enough room under the accelerator pedal and there nothing to hold the front mats in place.

It is downstream you can tell by the cap for the floor board. so its under the carpet.
