WHY FLOORING IS YOUR PRIORITY WHEN SETTING UP YOUR FACILITY ?

1/ IT DETERMINES

• The quality of your training
• The safety of your athletes, members and clients
• Protection of your equipment
• The longevity of your installations

2/ AN INVESTMENT THAT WILL PAY OFF IN THE LONG TERM

• The most common mistake is to get cheap flooring to "save money" that will result in replacing it 1 or 2 years later. 
• A high quality flooring is made to last years of use.  

3/ ThINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR FLOORING

Type of Uses (weightlifting/cardio/group classes/athletic work/etc) - You may need to mix the Flooring Types to accommodate Your Needs

Permanent or Semi-Permanent

•   A Gym is, by definition, a living space so it may requires some changes from time to time.
•   Time is long gone when gyms where only rows of static machines.
•   Nowadays, the Floor is more than a stepping area, it's a WORKOUT TOOL!
