Fitness Mat

Fast1cs

Hi. I'm looking for recommendations for a good fitness(thick) mat. I've only gotten wooden floors and I find the regular yoga matt I bought to be fairly useless. Is there a certain material that's best and what thickness should I be looking at?


Thanks

Something like this

http://www.abbeylawn.net/category/rubber-products/playground-gym-mats/

Does that place have an online shop? Only seems to list the items. The ones RAW gym use are very good so I googled them(should have thought of that earlier) and the online shop only delivers in the UK and an Irish online retailer that appeared second in the google search doesn't seem to stock them. I've emailed Jordan themselves to see if anywhere in Dublin distributes them.

Have an idea of what dimensions to look for but quality of rubber might be very different.

They have adverts on done deal, i have no experience with them personally though so i cannot advise you on delivery etc.

Found two places in Ireland that stock them. Health and fitness Ireland and mcsports.ie. Anyone every used either of these before or heard anything bad about them?

I use a mat like that (don't know where it came from) and it's good. Good grip and durable (I've had mine about 4 years? no sign of wear or tear and probably gets used an average of 4 times a week) but you might want to wear shoes because it doesn't feel nice underfoot if you have sensitive feet, not sore or anything but just uncomfortable

I have the Abbeylawn mats, 40 euros each and they are indestructible.
Weight a ton and are thick.
I had to drive to Wicklow to get them in the back arse of nowhere.

I imagine the Jordan ones cost a fortune.
