cheap/good value gym flooring

daivid

Slowly turning the garage into a gym albeit on that can be packed up/pushed to the side if the car needs maintenance. I have repurposed an old water tank into a jump box but don't think landing on the concrete floor is going to be good for my knees in the long run.

Can anyone recommend any good value flooring options? A friend has recommended interlocking foam tiles that were £50 for 4 1x1m tiles which would do fine but unfortunately those particular ones are no longer available (and when I look everything seems to have very mixed reviews). I would like to cover 2 or 3 m by 2m and either need the flooring to be easily liftable or be able to cope with being driven over occasionally. I would like something firm enough that it doesn't get flat spots from having weights left on it but takes the edge of landing/jumping on a concrete floor. I do wonder if more 'industrial' products are available that may be better value?

I have not looked recently, but I have seen this type of flooring at Costco.  
I have also previously purchased this type of flooring from BigDug (online).
You'll need to check current product ranges to see if there is something to suit your needs. 

An idea might be to go for a hard rubber floor and then a loose mat for localised positioning if there is a need for more soft excercise-specific areas.  That is, after all, the approach taken in most commercial gyms.
Plus, the hard rubber floor can be left down if you need to take the car in the garage.

Would this do the job?

It's not great as a garage floor when you need to drive over it (as it compresses under the weight of a car) but is easy enough to shift around if you're only covering a small area.
