GxmmatExtra Large Exercise Mat 10'x6'x7mm, Ultra Durable Workout Mats for Home Gym Flooring, Shoe-Friendly Non-Slip Cardio Mat for MMA, Plyo, Jump, All-Purpose Fitness

Performance, material, and value. I recommend.

I spent what seemed like literally forever trying to find the perfect mat, and I think that I finally found it. I got a Concept 2 rower, and knew I needed a mat, but I also wanted to lift weights and do other exercises, and I have new hardwood floors in my bedroom so I knew that I needed to protect the floors from myself as well as the rower. When you really account for size, as well as cost there are really only two options GXMMAT or Gorilla Mats Extra Large Exercise mats (don't put large/heavy equipment on a yoga mat) I decided to go with GXMMAT because of the reviews that were largely positive, and the lack of sponsored content on YouTube. When a product is good, you don't need to market it heavily, and this is a good product. Mine was sticky on the top part when I first unrolled it, and it's supposed to be but if you're not feeling it. Get a wet rag wipe it down and then immediately dry it, and it will go away, or it will go away on its own. I got the 10 x 6 and it fits the rower perfectly and gives me enough room on the side to do burpees, even lunges and that's saying something because I'm 6ft 4in tall.

Half of my garage is a workout space for my husband and I. We love this new addition to the space as it cushions the concrete and provides a great, supportive surface to engage in HIIT and weight training… I do not know how it will hold up over time, but so far so good.. it’s a little sticky in the beginning but once in use this goes away. I also wipe down the mat after workouts. It was easy to install and well packaged.

I looked at all the floor mats on Amazon and read all the reviews 100x over and over before making this decision. This mat was exactly what I wanted. It is thick and heavy duty and rolled out perfectly and flattened completely in about 3 days. I put it over high pile carpet in our spare bedroom that I wanted to use as a yoga studio/ general fitness room bc it just didn’t feel right as a fitness room with the carpet. Adding this mat made all the difference and it now feels like a proper fitness studio. I am glad I went with the larger size it was more than worth the price. Don’t over think it, get this mat. Considering getting another one for our garage where we have heavy weights- would be perfect for that purpose as well.

This mat is a nice thick rubber material which has one side that is more grippy and patterned for the floor and a smoother side which is faced up. The mat did have a slight rubbery smell upon arrival but nothing to bothersome and now I don’t notice any smell at all. I have been using my mat on carpet in my basement when I do high fitness and les mills at home workouts. The mat stays put and does not slide as I workout. The mat is not super thick but give the additional support my joints needed when jumping and doing burpees. I have noticed less fatigue in my joints since using this mat. I will say the mat felt sticky when it first arrived but after about a week of use the stickiness has gone away. I have read you can wipe it down with a damp cloth and then dry it to get the sticky to go away immediately. It didn’t really bother me so I left it alone and the stickiness went away on its own. I have to store my mat between uses and it is relatively easy to roll by myself. The mat comes with 3 Velcro straps to secure the mat when rolled and a bag. The mat is heavy but I can easily move it on my own. I was worried that the mat would not lie flat since I have to keep it stored rolled and that has not been the case. I put it out and then step on the slightly rolled end and it goes flat. I love the size of the mat. The 10x6 is a good size to do a full aerobic class where you are not standing stationary the whole time. It is also a good size for a stationary workout for 2 people. Gxmmat is the only brand I could find with the 10x6 size. My issue arouse with the delivery of the product. I ordered on 5/24 and received several delays on the item even though the item showed in stock with 2 day delivery each time. I reached out to the company which gave me an auto-reply of a canned response saying shipping is done by amazon and there was nothing they could really do and that they reached out to amazon but were told that I had to contact them directly. I reached out to amazon and was told delays in shipping were out of their hands and most of the time was a result of the seller not having their product at the warehouse. This run around went on for an entire month. After the 5th delivery date fell through on 6/24 I decided to place another order since it showed the item in stock with 2 day shipping. I placed a second order and my item shipped the next day and delivered no problem. I am not sure what the issue was with my first order but from other reviews it doesn’t look like my situation was an isolated incident. Overall I am happy with my mat and wished I had tried placing another order earlier so I could have been utilizing the mat during my workouts for the month instead of waiting on delivery.
