I have an entire home gym (treadmill, leg press, squat rack, etc) on these tiles. It's been 2 years now and I haven't had any problems.

Yes you can. I have my row machine and bike and my 2000 pound industrial gym set on them. However I would not move stuff across them. All my equipment is stationary.

I wouldn't. They are not what I would call "industrial strength". My sewing chair has scratched mine to heck and it's just a simple rolling chair. They are great looking and a great price, but I'd go for a little higher quality for excercise equipment. Hope this helps!

As mine are in the basement, I cut around the treadmill to minimize any bounce. The tiles can defintely withstand the equipment if you are utilizing for floor protection.

Judging from the ones I have, they do look pretty sturdy and I don't think you would have a problem. Plus I think a lot of the moves would work well from your knees, so it wouldn't be your whole body's weight on them. The only concern is that this equipment can put a lot of stress on your shoulders with your weight, so you will have to be careful and not go too deep, definitely do everything from your knees until you build up strength on these motions :)

You can but they are pretty light-weight. Of course you can also do more reps then they do on the video. I also love the chair, you feel very secure on it.

Not at all! Before putting up the Gorilla Gym my husband had a pull-up bar in the same location and it would move a little as he used it and it rubbed a small amount of paint off in that location. The Gorilla Gym doesn't seem to move at all and, so far, it hasn't seem to do any damage at all! I really like it a lot. The only problem is finding a doorway where the kids can swing as high as they want and then making sure that nobody is running near them when they are swinging. We have three small kids, but so far no injuries and no damage :)

You should be able to push it when it's folded. It should move very smoothly. If it doesn't, then something is wrong with that particular treadmill. It can even roll relatively easily, when it isn't folded.

2 part answer: 1) is it possible to put them side-by-side? Maybe. Although there's a slight angle to the corners, and they might not meet perfectly.2) SHOULD you put them side by side? In my opinion, no. There's nothing to bind them together and make them safely into 1 piece. Personally, I wouldn't do it. And if you're using it for stepping exercise, I don't think you would need it bigger. Again, IMHO. Bottom line: as an ex Phys. Ed. Teacher, I think putting 2 together without rigging something substantial to hold them together would present a safety issue. And the latter would possibly void any warranty. 2 part answer: 1) is it possible to put them side-by-side? Maybe.

My wife uses hers on a cement basement floor for P90X workouts and I haven't heard any complaints. If 10 pound weights sit on it overnight, they'll leave an indentation that is semi-permanent, so that speaks to their thickness and cushion. We ended up with two set to get to the size she wanted for the movement exercises...

I have two in my gym hanging from the ceiling. I mounted them about 3 feet from the wall. This should give you enough space for all of the exercises.

In my opinion; YES, but lock the wheelchair in position and place Aerobic pedaler in front of you at a comfortable distance to pedal from. I modified mine a bit by fastening rubber feet so they could not turn over with drilling a hole in the top of them and using a sheet metal screw through them into the metal pipe, but I believe a good adhesive would work as well. They were a nuisance to keep flat on the floor otherwise.

If you want to keep them from moving, you can run a bead of spray foam around the baseline I did. I also placed insulation around it to prevent me jostling it out of place. I like to keep the top easily accessible so it can be found later.

We use the mat to protect the floor, so I think as long as the whole treadmill fits on the mat, you should be ok.

Do not do that unless ypu plan on securing them together. Look into getting a bigger cabinet just to be safe. Seriously it will fall over if you stack them. Not worth the injury.

In my opinion, No..i think the ones in the gym are harder to take off than these...they hold the weights in place with no movement...Really good buy..

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.

Well you certainly could do that, but I don't think it would work out too well over time. The mats are great for impact from weights, benches, equipment, but it would probably slide a bit or even come apart with the quick turns associated with suicides. If you are flooring a home gym to begin with they are certainly still worth it, but used for running alone these would not be ideal. Better off looking for utility rugs that are all in one peice

I drop them lightly, but wouldn't drop them from high up. You would more than likely bend the tabs that hold the disks on. That being said, if you are having to "drop" them, you may want to rethink the weight you are lifting!

Yes. I have my bowflex, treadmill, and punching bag on it. I bought three sets of these and used it as flooring for my garage.
