GorillaMats Premium Large Exercise Mat – 7' x 5' x 1/4" Ultra Durable, Non-Slip, Workout Mat for Instant Home Gym Flooring – Works Great on Any Floor Type or Carpet – Use With or Without Shoes

We had another brand of exercise mat we thought was for cardio and circuit training, but it really was for yoga, as it kept crumbling and making a mess in our workout room. This one does not do that. I like the size of it and it seems very sturdy. We purchased the previously owned one and it looks brand new and we saved a lot of money

We purchased this for our workout/guest room. The room has carpet and I didn't want to mess the carpet up with tennis shoes. I was between this size and the smaller size. I'm glad we went with this one because it fits perfectly in the room. The mat is durable and has enough cushion, but not too much. It does not slip on the carpet or roll up while doing exercises. We do HIIT and weights on the mat and seems to be holding up well, we've had it for about 2 months now. It is not a cheap mat, but definitely worth it if you want something that will last.

I have had this large mat for about a week now and I wanted to test it before I wrote anything. This was actually my second order. USP lost the first one after it was out for delivery. Who knows what happened to it. So after I contacted the seller and Amazon I got a refund for that one and quickly placed a second order for this one. Sadly the 1st one was for $119.95 and when I came back to this one it had already gone up to $138.91 (not sure why). It was still the cheapest I could find on this size. Smaller ones 6'x5' were $146 and up. This one was larger, just what I needed and since the seller indicated he would refund, I just thought "why not?" the loss of the original order is UPS fault, not the seller. I have used it for about a week for PiYo, my apartment has carpet (which I hate) and the regular yoga mat simply did not help because it doesn't cover enough space, so I was slipping around. I had previously bought the ones that interlock but I destroyed those (really I did, I somehow kept landing exactly at the interlocking part and it just broke. So I needed something that was large enough for a plank and a good stretch of the legs without having to move around to keep my feet inside the yoga mat to not slip. THIS IS PERFECT! I put it 'circles down' (you'll see when you get it) and smooth side up. It does not slip around in my carpet, and it is not slippery to my bare feet! I do clean it after each workout. Now I did slip around the very 1st time I exercised on it and worked up a good sweat. But it hasn't happened again. I'm actually able to do my workouts better because I don't have to use strength to not slip around in my carpet or to adjust my position halfway so my feet are always inside the yoga mat. There is a slight rubber smell when you first open it, but it has since gone away and it's been only a week. Plus, like I said, I clean it after each workout. I'm glad I found this and gave it a shot.

I was more than satisfied when I received my mat and unrolled it. I loved the size options when choosing this product, so I could get the size that fit my space just right. The thickness of this mat is perfect. It is definitely an upgrade from the mat I had been using. The surface has a slightly grippy feeling on bare feet, which I really like. The back of it also is designed to hold well to the floor. I use this on carpet, and even though it might have shifted a little bit, that didn’t matter because the size of the mat was so big I still felt I was centered on my video screen. When my husband saw what a nice mat I now have, he decided to order one, too. I liked that there were several color options for the top surface of the mat. I would highly recommend this for anybody who is wanting to make their exercise as enjoyable as possible. Definitely makes a difference when you have a good mat. I feel it is helpful in motivating me to want to exercise more.

Great mat for exercising. Thanks

No words for how much I love, love, love my matt! I literally use it daily! I searched and searched for a mobility matt to fit my ultra tall 6'3" frame and I have found it <3 I was hesitant to spend this amount of money on a mat, but I am so overjoyed with it and pleased each and every time I use it. I take it with me in my car too! I just fold the seat down and place it in the back and it works! The only reason I took off a star is because I have used it sooo much that the straps that hold it together actually snapped and I had to sew them back together by hand. I was disappointed by this because this should not be the case when the mat itself is such high quality and the price I payed for it was an investment in my mobility as a weightlifting athlete. Other than this, I have no reservations about paying the high price I did. More than fits its intended use. Never do I slip or slide and it is plenty big enough for my amazon length. True love after using it for about 6 months now and treating it with utmost care (never high impact, although I am sure you could) and cleaning it regularly. Such joy this mat is. I am just sorry to have discovered it so late! LOLUpdate: nearly 2 years later I still love my mat. However, the straps that hold it together have fallen apart. Gorilla needs to solve this problem. For now I have resulted to using small bungee cords to hold it together. I still take it with me nearly everywhere so it gets daily use. I am considering ordering another for my home so I don’t have to pack and unpack it from my car. Love my mat!

This mat is perfect for my small workout room. It protects the floor from equipment and is comfortable to exercise on. It looks great. It bunches up if I try to roll the treadmill over the surface. Other than that it's exactly what I need. It took 3 mats to cover my space. I appreciate the towels and carrying bags. Quality products.

I rarely write a review unless I feel strongly about a product or service. This mat was perfect for what I needed, under a boxing bag. It’s the right thickness, good quality, and pattered so you don’t slip. I love it that will buy from this company again! The one I had before was terrible and didn’t work well at all.
