Welcome Everyone!
In today’s video we are going to discuss garage gym/ barn gym/ home gym flooring options. I did a video in the past on this and it was a huge hit, so I wanted to make a higher quality video, with a bit more in depth tips and tricks. These are things that I myself have researched, done, and found to be extremely useful when kitting out my personal barn gym. I’ll go over the most common flooring option, which is 4x6 horse stall mats that are found at your local tractor supply store. I’ll give 7 tips and tricks on how to best handle this job from start to finish, and at the end of the video I will go over a few other flooring options that may have a time and a place, or may be extremely nice, but not in the budget of most people. If you have any questions/ concerns, leave them in the comments below and I’ll do my best to answer everyone!

Great video. Love that you negotiate pricing. One other option to transport many mats is to have a dad with a truck. 😊

Thanks Coty! It’s surprising how many big box companies do this. Even Costco does price match on tech

Couple things... First: another option instead of "stall mat grips." are "panel carrier" handles. Same concept, but sometimes cheaper and more useful for other things as well (like moving plywood). Second: be careful folding or rolling up the mats. They can split/crack if you make too tight a bend. Oh, and 2x4s are rarely straight. Use an actual straight edge or a long level or snap a chalk line etc...

Chalk line im definitely a fan of, I didn’t even think of that! And wow, I’ve never heard of panel carrier handles but also a great idea. Thank you for sharing!

I just got my mats this weekend from Tractor Supply. They had smooth 3x4’ mats, but it was cheaper to get the 4x6’ mats, but the 4x6’ mats have a “pebble” surface. I feel like the tape won’t stick nearly as well…so I’m going to try the method where you screw corners of the mats into the concrete and use a spacer ring to keep the screw from going all the way through the mat.

I worked at a gym once upon a time and found that Murphy’s Oil Soap made them look like new and made them easier to clean. Also break parts cleaner gets the gum off especially if you really do work at a gym.

@@MMuniz - Clean it with a regular old school mop with just a little bit of oil soap to help the mop slide over it. Then come back with very little water and more oil soap after you already washed it. That will leave the film of oil soap. Then just mop with the oil soap after that. The oil soap builds up in the mat leaving a somewhat shiny finish that is not slick. I would hit the mats with a mop every other day but that would be after 100 people had used it. Gym membership increased because people liked the mats weren’t nasty looking.

@MMuniz 23 күн бұрын

Oh yeah I can imagine. I’ve been members to quite a few gyms and honestly the cleanliness was always a concern. It was kind of crazy to me. That’s pretty cool. I imagine you own your own box or did at one time?

@@MMuniz - I just needed a day job that kept me in shape and gave me a mental break from the book I was writing so I took a job at a gym. It was frustrating because they kept saying that they were losing money but working there I found out from the customers what the problems were and from the other employees. It was two large gyms that were the size of a shopping mall. Before long I had figured out how to make the whole thing work more smoothly and eliminate the major losses. I went to management to pitch them a deal to hire on as a consultant instead. They laughed at me and hired an expensive firm that charged them 10 times more than I was asking and they only told them half the information I found. I got disgusted and I quit. I left and started a construction business.

What do you think about the 1/2" version of the rubber mats from TSC instead of the 3/4" for wood floors? Not lifting 500 lbs anytime soon 😂

@MMuniz 24 күн бұрын

That’s a good question. I’ve always defaulted to 3/4 because of the 4x6 footprint and price but I don’t see why not. Especially if not dropping weights

I have 4 stall 😢mats with a slight texture on the top. Every time I move them, they get a little bit heavier. Or perhaps I am getting a little bit weaker.😢

Lol they are really heavy! Try the taco technique to carry it, might make it a bit easier. Or ask for a friends help!

also it takes repairmen a week to come out and he only fixes the minimum so your always running on a half fixed machine

I feel like with your name cbfitrunner you probably put a ton of time on the treadmill so this makes sense. Probably would get way more wear and tear from you vs someone like me who runs on occasion.

Im avtually in a apartment but living here for awhile. Wonderig if the stall mats will be fine smell wise.

@MMuniz 5 ай бұрын

If it’s a small apartment all on one floor I wouldn’t recommend the stall mats. Even after sitting for some Time there will still be a light odor that could be annoying if it’s in your living area.
