In a commercial gym, it serves gym owners and their customers alike.<\/p>\n<h3>Advantages of Artificial Turf for Gym Owners<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Easy to Clean and Maintain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Workout areas need to be kept sanitary, especially when they\u2019re used by many people. Synthetic grass keeps it simple for gym owners by requiring very little maintenance &#8211; a quick sweep to remove any debris is usually enough. \u00a0Stains can be treated easily with a stain remover from the manufacturer.\u00a0 A commercial sanitiser spray can be lightly sprayed over the surface to keep the turf hygienic and fresh.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fast Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Installing artificial grass can be either really fast or quite fast &#8211; especially when compared to growing grass or installing other kinds of flooring. Once you decide on your base layer and top layer combo, it can be installed in a jiffy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Durable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>High-quality synthetic grass lasts. And in a gym environment, you need it too. With high foot traffic and equipment use, you need a surface that won\u2019t wear out any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>If you plan to <a href=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/find-an-installer\/\">install synthetic grass<\/a> in your gym, be sure to tell your supplier about how you intend to use it. They can then advise on the type that will best suit your needs, as well as how to get the most out of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Impact Absorption<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know that familiar sound of a heavy weight being dropped on the gym floor? Not only can this damage your flooring, but it can also be frightening for your other customers. They\u2019re already putting stress on their bodies, and loud thumps aren\u2019t a particularly welcome addition.<\/p>\n<p>You might have signs up asking people not to \u201cthrow\u201d weights, but to an extent, this is unavoidable. When you have synthetic grass in your gym, you get options for your base layer. A good base layer will absorb impact <em>and <\/em>sound, protecting your floor, and avoiding those unplanned jump-scares.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3057\" src=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-2-400x300.jpg.webp\" alt=\"artificial grass in gym\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-2-400x300.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-2-600x450.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-2-1440x1080.jpg.webp 1440w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-2-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-2-1536x1152.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/12\/Gyms-2.jpg.webp 1632w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Advantages of Synthetic Grass for Gym Members<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Non-Allergenic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The last thing anyone needs when they\u2019re trying to reach their fitness goals is inflamed allergies. For things like boot camps, synthetic grass makes a great alternative to real grass. Post 2020, sneezing makes us nervous, so it\u2019s best not to take any chances!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Low Impact and Shock Absorbing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We push ourselves to our limits at the gym, and injuries can happen easily when our bodies are fatigued. Hard surfaces can strain the joints and lead to longer recovery times in between workouts.<\/p>\n<p>The base layer of synthetic grass can be highly shock absorbent, meaning that you don\u2019t have to hesitate on that box-jump, or worry about jarring your feet and ankles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ease of Equipment Use<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For equipment like speed sleds, synthetic grass makes for a perfect surface. It\u2019s smooth and even, with enough traction to push the sled, and enough grip to maintain your stance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grip and Friction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of grip, artificial grass is made to be the perfect sporting surface. It\u2019s non-slip but easy to move on, meaning that there\u2019s nothing stopping you from reaching peak performance. Just ask the professional sportspeople worldwide who play on it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>It Looks Good<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Real grass changes with the seasons or requires a whole lot of maintenance. Other flooring options like wood or rubber can be easily damaged and just don\u2019t look that great. But artificial grass retains its aesthetics and looks good year-round, keeping the workout environment looking modern, clean, and beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>With these things in mind, it\u2019s easy to see why many gyms are opting for synthetic turf as their preferred workout surface. It\u2019s important to choose a supplier who understands your needs, knows how to install it properly, and can offer a warranty.<\/p>\n<p>Discover Tiger Turf\u2019s range of <a href=\"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/sports\/gyms\/\">gym artificial grass<\/a>, and don\u2019t look back.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Note:\u00a0 Fire-Rated for Indoor Installation<\/h3>\n<p>When synthetic turf is installed inside, it must comply with the building code with the appropriate fire testing certification.\u00a0 It is important to check with your supplier that the surfaces being installed not only be fit for purpose but is also supported with the necessary consents, approvals, and certificates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re a gym owner, a workout enthusiast, or in charge of designing a functional, aesthetically satisfying workout space, there&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":3064,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gyms"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3690"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3690\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5426,"href":"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3690\/revisions\/5426"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigerturf.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
