Marcy Fitness Flooring

I bought this product to use as the mat flooring in my basement for when I workout. I have been struggling to figure out what type coating is on the matting because if I try to go into a plank, push-up or do any type of mountain climbers; my feet slide right out from under me and I have face planted a few times due to the slick substance that is on this matting. If you plan to use this for an exercise type flooring I recommend something like a rubber matting and maybe put some sort of cushion under it as a shock absorber. It''s the right amount of padding and if there wasn''t this slick substance used on the surface of it I would give this an awesome product rating, but whatever is coated on the mat has really disappointed me and caused me to doubt my purchase.

I live in a cold, rainy climate, and I cannot always exercise comfortably outdoors. Thus, I was looking to buy mats for exercising indoors. I also live on the third floor in an apartment complex with downstairs neighbors, so I needed mats that could absorb some sound. I previously bought some thin interlocking mats when I lived on a ground floor apartment, but they slipped around a lot when I moved around on them and did not absorb much sound.

Therefore, I decided to buy thicker interlocking mats from Marcy Fitness Flooring. So far, I am very happy with the mats as they perform better than expected. The mats feel of high quality, they are thick enough to absorb the noise of me jumping around fairly well (my downstairs neighbors have not heard me doing my plyometric routines), and they provide sufficient cushioning when I am jumping on them. These new mats put my previous thin mats to shame.

The only reason I give the product a four star is that the non-slip grippy surface is only on one side, and it would have been great if the mats were grippy on both sides. As it is, I do not slip on the mat when doing yoga or stretching, but the mat starts slipping to the side when I am move around a little more.
