I bought this mat to place under my half rack. I don’t like horse stall mats because they outright stink of chemical odors. This Gorilla Mat has zero odor. It is thick, durable and comfortable and provides a no-slip grip. It is large and perfectly-sized for placing under squat, half or full-sized racks and other big equipment. It also looks very nice in a deep gray color. Best of all, it’s non-toxic, so I can put it inside my home gym without the negative health issues of toxicant off-gassing that come with almost every other mat on the market. It’s worth the price. I am very pleased with this Yo Gorilla exercise mat. Read more
So far I am very happy with this mat. I'm not over active at the moment, but I'm looking to get back into my old exercise routines. Space constraints in my house have left me with the garage as my only home option. I bought this mat so I wouldn't have to be doing push-ups, crunches, etc. directly on the concrete. 6'x4' is a good size for me (I'm 5'6"). It's a solid mat, by which I mean it's not meant to be a cushion for tumbling or grappling (although I've had Jiu Jitsu partners would would prefer something this solid), but great for protecting equipment from concrete and flooring from just about everything. The bottom non-slip material is holding the mat in place on the polished concrete in my garage. Currently the top of the mat is also fairly non-slip while dry. Once enough sweat hits it, it gets a little slippery. My mat is still pretty new and the information that came with it said this would be the case. It takes some time to break in. The information sheet also gives some advice for how to break it in faster. And while we're on the topic... The sellers seem to be very engaging. Once the mat shipped I received an email with an attached pdf for care and cleaning. Similar information is included in the package the mat came in. I appreciate the added effort to help me get the most out of their product. Also included in this purchase: 1 microfiber cloth for cleaning, 2 velcro straps for keeping the mat rolled up, and 1 slip case for protecting the rolled up mat. The only thing I would love to have is a carrying strap or handle on the slip case. It's super minor and I don't count it as a negative. So far, I am very happy with this purchase. Read more
I bought Gorilla Mats late last year because I was looking for good quality mats for my home gym. I have been working out to P90X, RUSHFIT and Body Beast at home for years . I also have a full pull-up & dip station in my livingroom. In a nutshell, I was looking for a mat that is tough, build to last and provide enough support to protect my joints and floors. After extensive research online & Amazon, I came across Gorilla Mats. I liked the fact that it's a small family business with many positive reviews. They are not cheap but judging from the testimonials I've read online, the mats are made out of quality materials. They also come with Lifetime warranty. I decided to buy two of them, they were shipped quickly and arrived at my door within 2 days. I'm glad to report that It's one of the best investments I've made for my home gym (right up there with my Powerblocks U90). You can tell that Gorilla Mats are made of quality materials the moment you lay it on the floor. The weight of the mat and patterns on the bottom-side does a decent job at helping the mat stay in place during exercises. They're thick, durable and most importantly, I feel safe jumping on the mats when I do plyometric exercises! I also love the Gorilla logo on the mat (See picture). I also want to give a shout out to Zach at Gorilla Mats. He was great at answering my questions. The PDF he sends out with FAQs about the mats is also a nice touch. These value adds really gave me assurance that the folks behind Gorilla Mats are passionate about their business. If you're looking to build your home gym, give Gorilla Mats a shot. It'll be one of the best and necessary investments you'll ever make! Read more
This is such a great product. I highly recommend it. I bought two Read more
Bought 2 of these. One was fine. The 2nd one smelt of musty like mold and was faded. 2nd one is definitely older, thinner and not as supportive as 1st one. Cleaned it but still took weeks to air out. So left a star off for 2nd mat. 1st mat is fine. Ist one is large size, supportive, nice mat. Read more
I was very impressed with how well this item is packaged. You can tell that they take pride in their product. So great to have 2 straps, bag with tie, and a nice size microfiber cloth to come with it. I chose the gray color and I like how it's a nice darker gray. I did my Insanity Max 30 workout on it today and it worked like a charm. It gave the extra comfort that I need so my joints/knees don't get jarred. It did move a little bit on the carpet, and I had to adjust the mat a couple times, but that's totally expected with all the jumps, burpees, push ups, and craziness that the Insanity workout is lol :) It does have a really cool textured bottom on the mat that does a good job of gripping the floor. The mat size 6' X 4' worked great for me. I'm only 5'2". I think though if you are closer to 6 feet in height definitely go for the 7 ft mat instead, especially if you plan on doing push ups or planks on this mat. It's better to go a little bigger I'm thinking. The quality of the mat is definitely 2 thumbs up. I'm not scared to let my dog run around on it like other mats that can tear with her claws. Looking forward to using this mat for years to come. :) Read more
