Details Details

Description - Impact Mats are a smaller version of our Impact rolls. Durable and shock absorbent, these exercise mats are ideal for plyometric workouts and other high impact exercises. Less dense than our standard rubber mats, these mats will help to prevent leg fatigue and/or injury. Because these mats are less dense, these are not recommended for use in areas with heavy weights or heavy exercise equipment. Available at an economical price and featuring two finished sides, these mats are backed by a 5 year warranty.

Note: During certain types of running and high intensity workouts, our Impact mats may start to break down and flake over time, creating a flooring surface that is not ideal. For these types of exercises, we recommend the use of our standard rubber rolls which are more durable and better suited for these types of exercises.

Material – Reground rubber that is made from the post industrial recycled rubber created during the production of our standard rubber products and recycled white wall car tires.

Size – 4 feet wide x 6 feet long.

Thickness – 3/8"

Weight – 2.03 lbs. per square foot.

Origin – Made in the USA

Recommended Uses – Impact rubber matting offers a great solution for use during plyometric training and high impact workouts. These plyometric mats are ideal for use in home gyms, as exercise flooring, and in places where jumping and other high impact exercises like P90X or Insanity are done. Rubber underlayment can stain some vinyl flooring and linoleum over time. When using with dance floor rolls we recommend choosing black dance rolls.

Maintenance Maintenance

Plyometric training flooring is easy to clean. Maintenance of this rolled rubber flooring typically includes:

Vacuuming any loose dust, dirt, or debris from the rubber flooring surface when necessary.
Occasional damp mopping of the plyometric matting with a mild soap and water mixture. Some soaps commonly used include Dawn dish detergent and/or Tide laundry detergent.
This rolled rubber flooring solution is slightly porous in order to aid in the shock absorption of the rubber and this can cause the Impact flooring to take slightly more time to clean as compared to our regular rolled rubber gym flooring.

Note: Do not use any solvent or oil style cleaners such as Pinesol, Lysol, Murphy’s Oil Soap, WD40, paint thinner, etc. since these types of cleaners will break down the flooring over time.

Customer Questions & Answers

Don't see what you're looking for?

I can't tell the difference between impact straight cut and impact mats except for the large price difference the descriptions are the same. What is the difference?

Melissa Wheeler

Our Impact Straight Cut Mats and the Impact Mats are the same. The only difference is the shipping charge. The Impact Mats offer free shipping which is ideal for smaller orders less than four mats. If you are ordering more than four mats, we recommend purchasing the Impact Straight Cut Mats.

I live on the second floor of an old apartment building. I am looking for something that will reduce noise/vibration/etc. when doing Insanity/plyometric workouts so that I can use it without disturbing the neighbors below me. Would this be effective in that capacity?

Lauren

Our Impact Mats will help to reduce the noise generated when doing these exercises, but are not as durable as out other mats for these exercises. This mat is made to be less dense than our standard rubber mats, which is ideal for plyometric workouts. For more intense workouts, we recommend using our Premium Mats.

Can this be rolled and kept away when not in use? I am planning to use it in the living room for exercise but do not want to leave it on the floor all the time.

Padma

Our Impact Mats can be rolled for storage easily.

My impact mat got a small tear in it. Is there anyway to repair it?

Kelly

If you get a tear in your floor, you can use our seam sealer to bind the floor back together.

If mounted vertically, would these mats help to lessen the impact and rebound of a thrown baseball?

Anonymous

Our Impact Mats, when mounted on a wall, would help to lessen the impact and rebound of a thrown baseball. They are meant to absorb impact and diffuse it. There will still be some rebound, but it will be greatly diminished compared to a concrete wall.

Is it safe to double stack the impact mats on top of each other to provide additional shock absorption?

Ed Calhoon

You can stack our Impact Mats on top of each other to provide more shock absorption. To keep them in place, we recommend using double-sided tape between the mats.

Can these mats be used to drop rubber olympic plates safely from shoulder height or overhead?

Mike

You can use our Impact Mats to drop rubber Olympic plates. No matter the height, these mats will help to deaden the impact on your subfloor.

I own a salon, and I need rubber flooring that hair color and bleach will not stain. Will this work?

joe pergola

Our Impact Mats, may not be the best solution for a full room floor but would work great as standing mats around salon chairs. These rubber mats are somewhat porous, so to make them ideal for a salon, we would recommend sealing these mats with our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer. This will help to fill in the pores on the floor and make cleaning a breeze. The rubber floor sealer will need to be reapplied a couple of times a year, depending on how often the mats are used. To clean them, you would just sweep away any large dirt and debris and then mop the mats with a mild soap and water solution.

Can a woman easily roll up for storage?

david

Our Impact Mats are pretty light-weight and can be easily rolled up by anyone.

Can it be used as a dance subfloor for Irish dance? In other words, the impact mat and then marley over top of it. Or is it too soft?

Our Impact Mats can be used as a dance subfloor. These mats are less dense than our standard rubber flooring but are made from the same rubber material used as underlayment under dance floor surfaces and basketball courts.

Can you attach mats together?

Laura

You can use double-sided tape or our Seam Sealer glue to connect multiple Impact Mats together.

Would these mats indent & wear with having heavy equipment (squat rack, Olympic weight, weight bench, etc)? Interested in the impact aspect for plyometric exercises but wondering if I need a different mat for heavy equipment?

If you place heavy equipment over our Impact Mats, they will indent from the weight of the equipment. If the heavy equipment is left on the floor for a long period of time like months or years, the indents can become permanent. To prevent this, we recommend placing furniture sliders under the equipment.

Good for on the ground exercising and weight lifting?

Angela Deitch

Our Impact Mats are great for floor exercises and high impact workouts. You can use weights on them. These rubber mats are very shock absorbent making them very good on the joints when performing certain moves.

What size is the impact mats? All I see is the thickness and the color, do they come in different sizes?

Shannon Barisoff

Our Impact Mats are 4' x 6' in size.

How thick is the Impact Mat?

ofer samra

Our Impact Mats are 3/8" thick.

I'm looking for a plyometric workout surface at least 6'x8' that would withstand cutting movements side-to-side. I worry that if I just put two of these mats together, they would slip apart. Do you have any solutions for this, or is there another mat you'd recommend? Thanks!

Dan

To keep our Impact Mats from moving when doing lateral or side-to-side exercises, we recommend placing double-sided tape under the mats to keep them in place.

Can the impact mats be placed safely over carpets for workouts? I'm worried about damaging the carpet underneath while providing a solid surface to work out on.

Julie

The mat would be fine for use over carpet. If you want to put down a tarp between the two to protect against any sort of transmission, you can do that.

How do I get rid of the rubber smell of the impact mat?

Lorraine Hill

The best way to rid your Impact Mats of the rubber smell is to first mop your mat with a mild soap and water solution. Make sure you use a synthetic mop head when mopping the mat. You will then want to let your mat air dry. Make sure you place the mat in a well-ventilated room or outdoors. Once the mat is dry, you can check to see if the smell has dissipated; if not, repeat the steps above until you are satisfied with the smell of your new rubber mat.

Good support but flaky

I bought 2 of these because of the damage I did to my knees in 8 weeks of Extreme plyometric workouts. I work out in the basement and the wood laminate over concrete did my middle aged knees no good! I am still healing the knees, but continue to work out and the rubber mats help cushion the impact a bit. As others have stated, once you take the mats out it smells like a tire factory for several weeks, but that's to be expected. Others have mentioned this as well: the mat flakes little black specs all over the place. It's easy to vacuum it up, but if you are looking for something that doesn't shed, so to speak, this ain't the mat for you!

Excellent mats for polymetric exercise

I have been using the Focus T25 workout program for about 8 weeks. Prior to these mats my feet were killing me. I could hardly finish workouts. I was just exercising on hardwood floors/carpet. I tried using different sneakers, going barefoot, etc. I set up 3 of these mats in my basement and the difference was amazing. I no longer have any pain. The mats are well made and pretty heavy. They do not slide or move around at all. They vacuum up easy as well. Prior to finding these mats, I was looking in Home Depot and Lowes and contemplating buying these puzzle-shaped foam type pieces for flooring. I'm so glad I did not. For the price you cannot beat these mats. Very satisfied.

Great workout mat!

I'd been looking for something to use for Insanity and T25 workouts other than the old rug I had. Throughout all my research, I was really having a hard time finding something that seemed like it would work well for me. I stumbled on this and I'm glad I did. This product is made well, provides that bit of cushioning I was looking for (I have this on a concrete floor in the house), and doesn't go anywhere! I feel extremely more firmly planted in all the side-to-side and back and forth moves. At 43, I need a bit more cushioning for those higher impact jumping moves, and this has proven to work great for me. It's definitely no soft, but very firm with a little give since it's rubber. The size is perfect for these types of workouts, and the only thing I found is that with walking push-ups or planks, either my hands or feet have to be off the mat since I have to use the short side if I want to move more than one step to either side. I would highly recommend this mat to anyone looking for something to use for these types of workouts!
