| What kind of flooring do you have in your home gym? If you have LVP, did you put a rubber mat between machine and floor? |

| We have LVP in a basement gym that was recently renovated/completed. We have weights, a peloton bike and tread and a pull up/dips unit. We don't have rubber mats and I believe Peloton says not to put rubber under their machines. |

Yup. LVP with rubber mats under each piece of equipment. Has held up well with two teen athletes and all their friends. It gets such heavy use that I have to reserve gym time in my own house.
Our contractor recommended this approach and noted that some of his clients have had issues with odor and off-gassing with the all-rubber floors. My sons were worried that the LVP wouldn’t stand up to dropped weights, and we haven’t really tested that because they use a functional trainer/smith machine set up for most of their heavy lifts. One of them uses 75 lb dumbbells though. I’m sure there has been some heavy contact with the floor. |

| I have LVP and a rubber map under the treadmill. Nothing under rowing machine. And a large rubber mat for floor exercises. |

We have an all rubber floor in our home gym and 6 years after its install, I agree with this (there is still odor!). |

| We bought stall mats from Tractor Supply that have been GREAT for a gym. Very durable and affordable, plus come in multiple sizes. |
