Fitness floor mat

The basis of sessions

The exercise mat is the essential accessory for all floor sessions: abdominals, core strengthening, pilates, stretching, yoga or muscle training. It cushions the pressure on knees, elbows and back, isolates from the cold hard floor, and provides a non-slip surface for stable postures. It also defines your training space, at home or in the gym, and protects the floor.

Fitness accessories

Fitness accessories also include:

• Resistance Bands.
• Medicine Balls.
• Gloves.
• Steps.
• Circuit Training.

All accessories are gathered on the fitness accessories page.

Choosing based on your practice

The thickness is chosen based on the practice. A thin mat, four to six millimetres, provides the stability needed for yoga and balance postures. A thick mat, ten to fifteen millimetres, protects joints for abdominals, pilates and floor strengthening. In terms of material, NBR foam, soft and comfortable, is suitable for fitness; TPE, lightweight and recyclable, and natural rubber, very grippy, are popular for yoga.

Size and maintenance

Choose a mat at least as long as your height, so you can lie down completely, and wide enough for lateral movements. A mat with a carrying strap makes trips to the gym easier. Clean it after each session with a damp cloth and mild soap, let it dry flat, out of the sun, and store it rolled up, padded side out, to keep it flat.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thickness of mat should I choose for fitness?

For abdominals, core strengthening, and pilates, a thick mat of about one centimetre protects the back and knees. For yoga, a thinner mat provides more stability in standing postures.

What’s the difference between a yoga mat and a fitness mat?

A yoga mat is thin, very grippy, and stable for postures. A fitness mat, thicker and cushioned, absorbs impact during floor exercises like abdominals or stretching.

How to clean a floor mat?

After each session, wipe it with a damp cloth and a bit of mild soap, then let it dry flat before rolling it up. Avoid harsh products, as they can affect the grip of the surface.

How to tell if a mat is truly non-slip?

A dense foam with a textured surface ensures good grip, even when sweating. Also check the underside of the mat: a non-slip backing prevents it from sliding on wooden or tiled floors.

What size mat should I get?

Choose a mat at least as long as your height so you can lie down completely during stretches. Taller individuals and dynamic exercises should opt for a wider model.
