Rubber-Cal Treadmill Mat

The mat is what else? A rubber mat! But it's perfect if you need a rather larger mat for your gym equipment.The mat is thick as it needs to be, not too heavy nor too light. It works wonders on reducing the transfer of noise and vibration to the downstairs apartment.It's easy to clean and protects your floor rather efficient.The heat produced by the treadmill will not affect this mat and it will not come apart like others do.It's not completely black, as you will see specks of white or other colors all around the mat surface on both sides.It works well over carpet and over other types of flooring (tested the noise reduction capacity by moving the treadmill around the different floors).The price is ok if you can get it to be shipped to you for free.

It fit well and I'm very pleased with the purchase. I had read the reviews and some mentioned a rubber smell and other did not. I didn't notice it that much when I took it out of the box but it got steadily worse. By the time I realized it was pretty bad, the smell had already permeated half the house so I just left it. In hindsight, it would have been an excellent idea to roll it out in the garage or outside for a couple of days before you bring it in the house. The smell went away in a few days but it might be a problem to those who are really sensitive to odors. I suspect this is characteristic of most mats. Just leave it outside to air for a couple of days to air out and it will be totally fine. Overall, it's a great mat.

I ordered two of these and they were deliverered today. The size is great. Check out the pictures of the condition they arrived in. Beware.

I bought this to go under my treadmill in one of my spare rooms. I am really happy with the size - I have not only my treadmill on this mat but I also have a dual station punching bag on it! It did smell strong when I got it, but that totally went away. It is soft and comfortable to walk on. I did not want to ruin my carpets and this was the best option I could find. I feel that this was a good investment.

This mat is not heavy enough to handle the weight of rolling a treadmill on top of it (it is only 3/16" thick..very light weight)...it ripples, buckles, and shifts when you move your treadmill in place. I tried 5-10 times to roll my treadmill on top of it and it wouldn't stay in place (my wife heard a lot of choice words coming out of the basement). I finally stacked 45 pound plates on the four corners and that sort of did the trick (still a small amount of shifting but it was acceptable).This is more of a heavy duty yoga mat. I use horse stall mats for my weight racks and benches. I'll be replacing this mat very soon. I paid around $75 for this mat and it is definitely overpriced for the quality. The horse stall mats, which I purchased at Tractor Supply (4 FT. X 6 FT. X 3/4 IN.) usually cost $40 each and are extremely heavy duty. I recommend the horse stall mats for all gym equipment.

This mat has been great for the Sole F85 treadmill. Most of the mats were just a tad too narrow and I prefer to have my mat overlap the treadmill and not vice versa. I have not moved the treadmill since I placed it there about 30 days ago, so I do not know if there is color transfer to the carpet underneath. I have lifted the treadmill belt (the back) and can report that the mat isn’t fazed by that.

The thickness is perfect and the material is extremely durable. The smell isn't horrible and only lasts a day or so. I have this protecting my thick Burber carpet, and it does not bunch up or crease.

Perfect fit, I got the smaller size. I did not notice any odor like other reviewers have stated. I took it out of the box, no odor. I left it rolled up for a couple of days, no odor. I put it under the treadmill several days ago and no odor. Hoping my luck holds! I think it was a little expensive, so hoping it holds up under regular use. I will return in a few weeks if anything changes.
