Large Exercise Mat

I'm a beginner and I purchased this because I wanted to make a lifestyle change and I hate going to the gym and would rather set up a home gym. I'm not an experienced trainer or anything but I am beyond happy with this mat and the price I paid for it compared to similar ones on the market. It's very high quality and I like the texture as well. I went from completely sedentary to doing HIIT exercises on this mat everyday (definitely not recommended for beginners like me but I did it anyway lmfao and the results are great! want to slim down instantly while getting a bigger ass? its the way to go) and whether its cardio, strength training, or yoga, I feel like I can do everything comfortably on this mat. Some skinny people were complaining it isnt as big as advertised but I personally found this mat to be bigger than I expected and its more than big enough for my purposes. and im not skinny. I have a carpet floor and this mat hardly moves around, it only moves around slightly when I work out on it with my partner. I will say that there is definitely a breaking in period for this mat especially if youre doing something like HIIT, it will be very slippery when you first start especially if you get sweat on the mat. but I've found that working around this has added another element to improve my fitness, and for me it stopped being slippery after I worked out on it about 15 or so times. As a bonus, I'm also a cat owner and my cat really loves to stretch out on this mat and dig her claws into it and scratch it. She does this a lot and so far there haven't been any marks or signs of damage! So I can definitely feel the durability of this mat and I can see it lasting for years, which makes me feel like it was money well spent. The listing doesnt advertise this but this mat also comes with a set of gloves for training, which I didnt expect but was a very nice surprise! I haven't used them personally. This mat is kind of big and heavy to carry around but I don't move it at all so that's fine with me. Highly recommend, this mat is enough to make my own personal gym and I'm happy that this is just a one-time purchase I had to make and that I wont have to spend hundreds per month for a gym subscription. I love that I'm losing weight without paying the industry that profits off of body image issues and eating disorders.

I was looking for a mat for my home gym, read other reviews and ordered this baby! I have to say that I was really impressed with how it arrived. It arrives fully wrapped with velcro straps that hold the mat closed in its storage bag (I didn't expect a storage bag but it's a great addition to allow for rolling up if you don't want it out all the time!) An extra bonus?? There's a pair of lifting gloves included!! Who includes anything as a bonus anymore?? The mat itself is easy to wipe down, doesn't slip and marks from equipment aren't left after your workouts. It's not thickly padded so if you're looking for something with a the give to protect your knees when jump roping or something like that, you won't quite get that. However, for yoga and pilates, I put my yoga mat on top and it provides a really nice, cushy surface. As far as sizing, it fits my Flybird bench with room to spare. If you're looking for a super large basement mat, this may not be for you but at a measurement of 4' x 6', there's plenty of room to work out and protect your floor. For side to side movements like a squat side shuffle, I move on the diagonal. Overall, 5 stars on this one!

Use this almost daily for several years and it’s still in perfect condition. Love the thickness. Great for home workouts! No weird smells. Cleans easily. Great quality! Exactly what I was looking for!

We have been hit with a pandemic, we are required to stay at home except for essential activities: grocery store, gas, hospital, and outdoor activity. Going to gyms is not considered essential. I was watching my husband do a workout video and the instructor had an exercise mat. And I thought "That's exactly what I need!" I have carpet so exercise is a challenge especially since we do not wear shoes in the home so I was working out barefoot. I came to Amazon looking for the mat that I saw in the instructor's video and saw this item as well. I decided on this one instead and I'm glad I did. It is perfect. It does not take up too much space but it is enough space for two people to work out comfortably. I can now work out in shoes and I feel steady, it almost makes me feel like I'm in the gym. It is sturdy and I did take away one star because it does slide on carpet. If you exercise really hard, it will slide without something holding it down while on carpet. However, this has not been too much of an issue. Its shock absorbent and my knees thank it. I would recommend this. I have had it for two weeks and have used it every day, first day, it was slippery but I broke it in very quickly simply by working out on it. Since we are all stuck in our homes, if you want to workout with a more solid base, this might be helpful for you.

I have two of these. I use one under two Schwinn ic4 bikes and one for anything else. They cover the floor in my gym space. I lift weights, do cardio, do Pilates, stretch, you name it, it withstands it. My cat also uses them to sun herself, and I clean them with a vacuum and cleaning wipe or rag. I have no issues with them, and I use them every day. They strong, durable, and you can have shoes or be barefoot without issues. Also, kitty approved. Cat tax provided.

This mat is fantastic. Comfortable with our without shoes. It rolls up nicely with its velcro retainers allowing me to take out on a long road trip and still get my workouts in on the road. Would recommend.

THIS IS PERFECT . EASY TO PUT DOWN, EASY TI CLEAN AND COMFPRTABLE

Yeah, the way this freaking mat was packaged already is a 5/5 in my eyes. It comes with its own bag, little velcro straps meant to keep it contained and make it easier to carry in its bag (which is made of a sturdy, thick material), ANDDD it came with exercise gloves! EXERCISE GLOVES! Faux leather gloves for weightlifting! The size is perfect underneath my (rickety) standing desk, and I'm on carpet, so I haven't had any issues with grip but it has a textured bottom that I feel would suffice for hardwood. I wouldn't call it stretchy, but it has enough give and flex that it isn't stiff or starchy. And it's thick. Very thick. Robin Thick. Everybody get up!

The very best yoga mat I've ever used in my practice.
