About Gymflex Cardio

Our Cardio floor system is a specialised high Performance Rubber surface to support and enhance Cardio workouts. It’s designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and durable foundation for equipment like treadmills, exercise bikes, and rowing machines, as well as for bodyweight cardio exercises like jumping jacks and burpees. Unlike general-purpose flooring, cardio gym flooring focuses on specific characteristics crucial for repetitive, high-impact movements and heavy equipment. The system is built using the New Era Acoustic Cradle System to enhance impact sound reduction, making it an ideal solution for upper-level gym where Acoustics are vital.
