FAQs About Artificial Grass for Gyms
Using fake grass for gym flooring is fast becoming the preferred surface for fitness workouts. Artificial grass is designed to provide shock absorption and comfort for high-impact, high-performance activities. It’s durable, hard-wearing, easy to clean, grips well during fast-paced workouts, and always looks neat.
Yes! Whether you’re considering artificial grass for your entire gym floor or just want to fit out one area with sled turf, this versatile product works well in all types of environments.
One of the main benefits of artificial turf is its low maintenance requirements. Artificial gym grass used in indoor spaces can be vacuumed to remove surface dust and debris, and you can also spot clean any stains or spills by blotting the area with mild detergent and water. You can also apply a surface disinfectant to the turf to maintain a hygienic surface. To encourage the fibres to remain upright, brush your turf with a stiff broom to maintain its realistic appearance.
Yes. Artificial grass can easily handle heavy foot traffic and frequent use, making it perfect for high-use commercial gym environments. Plus, our ready-to-install sled tracks are made from one long section of robust artificial turf with no joins, so there are no unnecessary edges that could catch on moving equipment.
Note that especially in high-use commercial gyms, it is natural for some fibres to flatten under very heavy weight machines and equipment if they are left in place for a long period of time. As for equipment that is frequently moved, such as bars, kettlebells, plates and lighter machines (like bikes or rowers), these items pose no issues for your artificial turf.
Artificial grass is easy to lay over hard surfaces like concrete slabs. Starting with a completely clean and level surface, the gym turf is installed by rolling it out in sections and gluing it down with plenty of high-quality artificial grass adhesive. Having the right install tools at hand makes this an easy DIY job that can be completed in a weekend.
To deliver the most comfortable experience for your members, we always suggest gym owners install a shock-absorbing underlay under the turf. Shockpad rolls and shockpad tiles are our recommended options, which create the slightly padded surface that athletes need for optimal training and performance.
