If you don\u2019t already have synthetic turf in your workout space, keep reading to see how making the switch is a huge advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Some people like to while away their evenings at the gym, and some people like to\u00a0\u00a0get in and get out &#8211; but everyone wants the time they spend there to be productive. It follows that a gym needs to be practical, functional, and fairly intuitive.<\/p>\n<p>With plenty of things to consider in order to achieve this &#8211; lighting, temperature, equipment layout, ventilation &#8211; we can tell you right now that when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/sports\/gyms\/\">gym flooring<\/a> solutions, synthetic turf has got your workout space covered (see what we did there?).<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3061\" src=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-5-390x360.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-5-600x450.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-5-400x300.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-5-1440x1080.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-5-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-5-1536x1152.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-5.jpg.webp 1632w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>1.\u00a0 A Low Impact Workout Surface<\/h3>\n<p>Anywhere that people are pushing their limits is a place where falls and injuries are to be expected.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to ensure the safety of your members to the best of your ability. Synthetic grass provides a low-impact, non-slip surface that people will feel comfortable testing their limits on.<\/p>\n<p>Synthetic grass during workouts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduces impact injuries<\/li>\n<li>Is easy on joints<\/li>\n<li>Absorbs shock during jumps and falls<\/li>\n<li>Is non-slip<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While this is all excellent for your members, synthetic grass has got you, the gym owner, covered as well. Gym floors can often be damaged by people dropping heavy weights on them &#8211; not to mention the noise can be distracting (and sometimes frightening!) to other members. Artificial grass can be installed over a shock-absorbent pad that absorbs shock as well as noise &#8211; so everyone wins.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3060 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-4-390x360.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"389\" title=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-4-600x292.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-4-400x195.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-4.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-4-768x374.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-4-1536x747.jpg.webp 1536w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/389;\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2.\u00a0 Versatile and Super Functional<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a new workout craze every other week, so if you\u2019re a gym owner, you\u2019ll be interested in making sure that your gym is up to date for your member\u2019s ever-changing needs.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s HIIT, CrossFit, speed-sledding, sprinting, or something else, you\u2019ll find synthetic turf to be a high performance, durable solution that functions well no matter what it\u2019s being used for.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, if it\u2019s something a little more specific that you\u2019re after, synthetic grass can be customised with lines, shapes, numbers, and so on. It\u2019s perfect for defining and separating workout areas.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3064 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/photo-4-creo-390x360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/588;\"><\/p>\n<h3>3.\u00a0 Easy to Maintain<\/h3>\n<p>Cleanliness and hygiene are essential in a gym environment. Nobody wants to think of what other people have been doing on the equipment before them. It\u2019s important to keep your gym clean and tidy, as well as healthy and safe.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, synthetic turf is an incredibly low maintenance flooring solution. It\u2019s incredibly easy to clean &#8211; you just remove any debris, and give it a brush. You can easily spot-clean any stains if they happen (we have a special spot cleaning formula for this purpose, but you can also use household items).<\/p>\n<p>And it lasts &#8211; just a small amount of maintenance will keep your turf in tip-top shape for many years to come.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3058 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Gyms-3-390x360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\"><\/h2>\n<h3>4.\u00a0 Customisable to Meet Your Needs<\/h3>\n<p>Sure, it looks great, making it appealing to old and new members alike &#8211; but that\u2019s just the start.<\/p>\n<p>You can easily make synthetic grass work the way you want, in the ways you need it to.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fast and easy to install (if you know what you\u2019re doing) &#8211; meaning that you can evolve from a grey concrete or boring short-pile carpet surface to a lush, functional grass surface in a single day.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, it doesn\u2019t have to be permanent &#8211; for example, you might only want to use it during the winter months. Depending on the installation method, your artificial turf can be rolled up and stored &#8211; so be sure to tell your supplier if you want it to be removable.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it\u2019s hypo-allergenic, making it a perfect solution for bootcamps, bodyweight exercises, and mat zones, where people are working close to the floor. Few things are worse than getting stuffy sinuses or a sneeze attack when you\u2019re trying to complete a tough workout &#8211; make sure this doesn\u2019t happen by holding your classes on synthetic turf, instead of on the grass.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3062 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-6-390x360.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" title=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-6-600x400.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-6-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-6-1621x1080.jpg.webp 1621w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-6-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-6-1536x1023.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/gyms-6.jpg.webp 1732w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are so many things to consider with commercial (and home) gyms.
