Turn Your Basement into a
Deluxe Gym

Basements are Perfect for Workout Rooms


Basements make ideal workout spaces for a few different reasons.
The first is because they are more isolated and relaxing than the
main section of your home. You can likely head down to the
basement to get a good workout in before retiring back to the
chaos of your typical household. Not only that, but all your
workout equipment can be hidden away down in the basement
where all your guests aren’t going to see it.
Choosing the Perfect Gym Flooring

In a basement gym the best flooring option is undoubtedly the
thick rubber tile flooring. Not only is it comfortable to squat down
on, to do crunches on and to drop weights down onto, but it’s
more water resistant as well. Rubber tiles hold up well to the
slightly damp conditions of most finished basements, which is
another reason that they just make sense to use.
