$32 today, down from $44. 4x6ft, 3/4 inch thick. If you need some for your home gym or other home projects, good chance to grab some while they're on sale

Best, and most cost effective, gym flooring there is.

Protip: to move them, roll up and secure with bungee cord. Rassle them around any other way and you'll be too tired to work out.

Seriously? Never thought of using that.

No lie. Dragging those things up into a truck bed and then down and arranged in a garage is a bitch.

I have 3 of them. Great price on them at $32/each.

Purchased 4 the other night. Was NOT prepared for the wrestling match that ensued. In the end, I won but not without a battle.

The only reason they are cheaper is because they aren’t labeled for gym use. It’s no different than the more expensive shite online.

Are these easy to cut?
Im thinking about cutting one in half to put an Echo Bike on against the wall in my garage and using the remainder inline with it against the wall

I haven't tried, but I think you'd at least need a circular saw and a good setup to hold the mat.
They're big, thick and heavy. I only have a jigsaw and wouldn't bother trying.

Thanks Rep250
I was orginally hoping I could score them with a box cutter or something similar, but Popping a chalk line and cutting with a circular saw would be doable as well.
I need something thick like this as I will be keeping the bike against the wall then sliding It out at an angle when I use it . Need something that I can pull on without tearing and also to protect my epoxy floor coating

A decent box cutter with a few spare blades and a bit of patience will get it done. Use a straight edge and just score against the straight edge until you break through. I've read to use wd40 to keep it from tearing.

I cut a bunch of mine with box cutter. Simple. Pop a line, make a couple passes and done. Just let the cut sit close to an edge so it remains open letting gravity pull it.

Yep, this was the easiest method for me. Grabbed a few spare gold tipped blades from work one day and went to cutting. I used my tailgate as it was just the right height to hold the mat & make the initial cuts, then let gravity take over while making passes with the box cutter.

I thought it would be a pain in the arse but they are easy to cut given the amount the mats weigh.

Do these mats butt up against each other or do they interlock?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Great, thanks for the info.
Do you put anything between the concrete and them?
