Next Step High Impact
Recycled rubber fitness tile, 8 to 12 mm standard, for free-weight and functional training floors
Fitness and recreation
Fitness and gym flooring
A training floor absorbs dropped weights, running decks and studded footwear while holding the acoustics of the rooms below it. Yorkshore works with architecture and design teams across Florida and New England on gyms, studios, gymnasiums and play areas, specified by impact rating and acoustics first.

Applications
Spaces we specify for
-
Strength and free-weight areas
Racks, platforms and free-weight zones are the heaviest duty on the plan. Recycled rubber tile takes the impact and protects the structure.
- Impact rating
- Protection of the structure
- Darker flecks to hide chalk and scuffs
-
Studios and group fitness
Yoga, barre and group classes are often barefoot. Cushioned sport mat and smooth-faced rubber give a clean surface that keeps its grip under sweat.
- Barefoot use
- Cushioning
- Grip when wet
- Cleanability
-
Cardio and machine areas
Treadmills, trainers and rowers concentrate weight into small footprints. Rubber tile spreads the point load and dampens the noise of running decks.
- Point loads from machines
- Running-deck noise
- Rubber tile thickness
-
Gymnasiums and courts
Gymnasiums host assemblies, games and bleacher traffic on one surface. Court systems are specified for ball response and footfall, and judged over time on how the finish holds.
- Ball response
- Shock absorption
- Game lines and finish durability
- Multi-use events
-
Locker and team rooms
Skates, cleats and studded footwear wear floors quickly. Rubber tile resists blades and keeps traction when the room is wet.
- Cleats and skate blades
- Traction when wet
- Cleanability
-
Play areas, indoor and outdoor
Indoor and outdoor play areas carry a safety rating before a color choice. Impact-attenuating tile is specified to the fall height of the equipment above it.
- Equipment fall height
- Impact attenuation
- Outdoor color stability
Selection factors
What to consider
- Impact rating first and color second where weights come down
- Acoustic mass and underlay to keep noise out of the rooms below
- Slip resistance in wet and barefoot areas
- Fall height and impact attenuation in play zones
- Multi-use surfaces that carry game lines, chairs and bleachers
- Cleanable to a barefoot standard in studios
