After you have found the perfect fitness flooring for your residential or commercial exercise facility, it is time for the gym floor installation. Depending on which of our rubber flooring products you have chosen for your fitness flooring, the installation steps will vary. In this Rubber-Cal “how to” video, the crew from “The Biggest Loser” will demonstrate how easy it is to install interlocking gym mats.

Simple and DIY-capable, all you will need is the following to set up these durable exercise mats:

• Protective gloves
• Knee pads
• Broom
• Measuring tape
• Utility knife

At the beginning of the video, you will see that a portion of the fitness flooring has already been laid out. Prior to this step, you will want to use your broom to clear away any debris from the surface that you will be setting up the interlocking gym mats on. Make sure that the subsurface has been thoroughly swept, so that you can ensure a smooth and leveled fitness flooring finish.

Initially, it may seem tricky when putting these exercise mats together, but these rubber gym tiles come with pre-drilled installation holes. The pre-drilled installation holes are features of the interlocking gym mats, which you can use to apply connector pins in order to unite two gym tiles together. The video shows a few different angles for a better demonstration of how the connector pins are used to join the exercise mats together.

Once the connector pin has been placed inside a pre-drilled hole of the interlocking gym mats, you will lift the adjoining gym tiles to line up the connector pin with the next pre-drilled hole. Secure the connector pin by carefully lifting and aligning the two exercise mats together. The next step is just a matter of readjusting the gym tiles as needed. These are basically the steps for this particular gym floor installation. See how easy and simple it is to install these interlocking gym mats as fitness flooring for your gym?
