Artificial Turf for Gym Surfaces
Gym Turf
Artificial turf for gym flooring is a staple of the fitness industry. Athletes love it because it enables high intensity exercise and reduces injuries. Gyms love it because it looks great and is easier to maintain that traditional work out surfaces.
Benefits of Turf for Gyms
Impact Resistant
It’s common for dedicated athletes and regular gym goers to experience joint strain and impact injuries from their workouts. Hard floors like concrete or wood can make this worse because they are not forgiving during vigorous exercise. TD offers impact pads under our turf that provide cushioned suppor to absorb shock. This helps reduce the risk of joint and impact related injuries.
Non-Slip
From weightlifting to calisthenics, exercising on a slick floor can be incredibly dangerous. When moisture from sweat or spills are present, it’s easy for gym members to slip on traditional gym floor surfaces. This can lead to serious injuries. Artificial turf provides a soft, slip resistant surface for intense training.
Durable Material
Popular gym and athletic indoor facilities can see heavy foot traffic and high intensity workouts. Flooring needs to withstand people jumping up and down, running, skipping, and the impact of heavy. Floors like concrete can crack under the pressure whereas turf is made to stand up to the challenge. Impact pads offered by Turf Distributors help to absorb shock due to the extra cushioning which helps reduce chance of injuries.
Hardwood, Carpet, Concrete, and Rubber Don’t Match Up to Turf
Hardwood is a classic gym floor material used in basketball courts, weight rooms, and exercise studios. The problem is that its slick surface can cause falls and accidents when people run or jump, especially when sweating. Additionally, the hard floor is unforgiving on joints and can cause serious injury if someone does slip and hit the surface. Turf provides traction, support, and stability!
Carpet isn’t any better. It tears easily and holds onto smells and odors. It’s challenging to properly clean and sanitize and rips in the material can snag on equipment, making it dangerous. Turf won’t tear easily, is easy to clean, and there are options to choose that keep odors at bay.
Many people think that concrete floors are durable, but they aren’t. Gyms choose them because they are affordable up front. The issue is that they cost more in the long run. Concrete stains easily, cracks under repetitive equipment use, and doesn’t often last more than a few years before it needs repairs. Turf can last years, even decades before needing to be replaced.
Most modern gyms choose rubber flooring. They assume it has some of the impact absorption artificial turf flooring does and, depending on the texture, might offer some traction. Rubber floors have short lifespans. They often start to discolor quickly and deteriorate after just a couple of years. You can always depend on artificial turf to stay green and remain durable to intense workouts.
Impact Pads and Turf Accessories
In order to make the most of synthetic grass gym floors, impact pads or underlayment pads are recommended for added protection. Turf Distributors offers high-impact absorption padding made of recycled cross-linked polyethylene foam for added safety and durability. Depending on the type of pad you choose, you can control the level of cushion between the turf and subfloor layer. You’ll be able to customize your flooring to fit your customers’ exact needs.
