BalanceFrom Folding Gymnastics Mat, Thick Home Gym Floor Tumbling Equipment, Pink - Portable Exercise and Workout Pad for Pilates, Aerobics, and Martial Arts Fitness Training

When everything shut down for Covid, I was glad that we had equipment at home to continue our workouts. The shutdown did force me to acknowledge the weak areas in our home gym. While we had weights and cardio covered, we didn't have a good surface that was conducive to stretching and practicing BJJ techniques when we couldn't go to class. I set out to find a solution that would produce an acceptable surface on a concrete basement floor.I looked at many alternatives and had settled on a huge supplier of MMA mats. The one I honed in on would roll up out of the way when not in use. I started looking for the least expensive place to purchase the mats and landed at Amazon. What I found is that those mats are significantly more expensive for less coverage and that they never go on sale. Since I was shopping Amazon at this point I looked for alternatives and found these. After reading the reviews I ended up ordering 3 mats, which gave us a 10x12 area for about $250 less that what I had been shopping for. These mats seem very sturdy and easily fold out of the way. The velcro appears to be strong enough to hold the mats tightly together while we roll around on them and I don't think we will take them apart often enough to have this wear out. The padding is also thick enough so we do not have any issues using these directly on an epoxy coated concrete floor. The vinyl seems thick enough to be good for the long haul as well.In the end, we will use these several times a week for a little practice but the commercial mats that are more expensive were probably overkill. These mats came with a 2 year warranty so while I don't anticipate any issues with them, I will probably just replace them if something happens to them down the road. These are probably the best value out there in folding gym mats and they are working great for why we bought them so far.

My daughter is 10 and I wanted to get a mat for her to perform her gymnastics moves. Something good for her height and size. I spent a long time looking at all the sizes provided by multiple companies and reading reviews. This one was by far the best. For a kid her age, 10 feet long and 4 feet wide is perfect. It is long enough for her to do her moves but not too narrow either like 3-foot-wide mats. Being 2 inches thick is perfect as well because it provides just the right amount of cushion. Plus, it has handles once folded up to be carried away. Best bang for your buck. Very durable. Not too heavy to make you struggle but not too light making worry if it won't stay in one place. When my daughter gets older and bigger, I would get a longer mat but this is perfect for a kid between 7 and 12 who is in the 4-to-5-foot range. If your kid is 5'6" and above, I would get a longer mat but make sure it is still at least 4 feet wide.

Love this mat which I use each morning while Moosch cheers me on.Comfortable to work out on due to perfect thickness.Easy to clean.Snap to fold.So much nicer than a yoga mat!

Good quality. My granddaughter loves it. I've had it for over a year and it's held up nicely

Awesome gym mat! My kid started ju jit su so is perfect for him to practice on instead of our carpet. It's firm, but soft and the size is perfect for him. He's been using it everyday to get his cartwheel down. I'm very happy with the quality and price.

The quality of the mat for its primary purpose is 5 stars. It is just firm enough to ensure you can easily run and jump on it without losing control in the squish. It’s also just soft enough to cushion a fall. The size is great for our needs. I can fold it once or twice and put it under our wall ladder for the littles when they practice climbing the ladder. I can unroll it in my mini gym area just outside of the toddler bedrooms and do a morning kettle bell workout without a loud landing on the last set when I am tired and still have to set the bell down. I love that. The only reason I rated it 4 stars is because of the smell. It’s not your average synthetic material smell. It smelled remarkably like a used ash tray, so much so that I checked for signs that I had been mistakenly sent a used product. I don’t think I was. I’m hoping opening it and airing it out will help. That would be much preferred to us simply getting used to it and not knowing that our house smells like an ash tray when people visit. I might have to ask people when they come, because that would be a deal breaker for me. Fingers crossed! I’m optimistic it will go away. I’ll update the review, if I think of it later.

Love it! So sturdy and comfortable, hopefully will last 10 years like our last one!

This Mat is perfect for my daughter. She is a level 7 gymnast and we needed this to add extension for her air tumble track and well as to place under her beam and this is perfect. The size is great in width and length and it is super comfortable. We will definitely be adding another one.
