Gorilla Mats Premium Large Exercise Mat – 6' x 4' x 1/4" Ultra Durable, Non-Slip, Workout Mat for Instant Home Gym Flooring – Works Great on Any Floor Type or Carpet – Use With or Without Shoes

So far I am very happy with this mat. I'm not over active at the moment, but I'm looking to get back into my old exercise routines. Space constraints in my house have left me with the garage as my only home option. I bought this mat so I wouldn't have to be doing push-ups, crunches, etc. directly on the concrete. 6'x4' is a good size for me (I'm 5'6"). It's a solid mat, by which I mean it's not meant to be a cushion for tumbling or grappling (although I've had Jiu Jitsu partners would would prefer something this solid), but great for protecting equipment from concrete and flooring from just about everything. The bottom non-slip material is holding the mat in place on the polished concrete in my garage. Currently the top of the mat is also fairly non-slip while dry. Once enough sweat hits it, it gets a little slippery. My mat is still pretty new and the information that came with it said this would be the case. It takes some time to break in. The information sheet also gives some advice for how to break it in faster. And while we're on the topic... The sellers seem to be very engaging. Once the mat shipped I received an email with an attached pdf for care and cleaning. Similar information is included in the package the mat came in. I appreciate the added effort to help me get the most out of their product. Also included in this purchase: 1 microfiber cloth for cleaning, 2 velcro straps for keeping the mat rolled up, and 1 slip case for protecting the rolled up mat. The only thing I would love to have is a carrying strap or handle on the slip case. It's super minor and I don't count it as a negative. So far, I am very happy with this purchase.

I was looking for a larger mat for my workouts, and I ran across this brand on Amazon. The price was higher than what I was looking to spend, but purchased it due to the positive reviews. It hasn't disappointed me! It's of high-quality construction, durable (you can use it with shoes on), and is just the right size for my workouts. As others have mentioned, there is a slight odor when you first unbox it. I didn't find it unbearable, however, and the smell completely dissipated within a couple of days. I'm completely satisfied & pleased with this product.

Use it to workout on. Haven’t noticed any issues when wearing shoes. Very easy to clean and comfortable to lay on.

I've had this mat for 2 years and have used it almost daily. I freaking love it! I used to work out on those jigsaw piece mats that you can get everywhere. They are fine for the price, but they slide all over and sometimes come apart with certain movements. This mat, however, is great! I got the 4x6. It’s perfect for the bedroom space I'm using it in. If I had a bigger space, I'd definitely get a larger one. I sweat a lot on this thing and it's good about never really letting the sweat soak in, so I use the included microfiber towel to wipe it. It's been great for a variety of workouts including yoga even though it's not as squishy as some yoga mats. There are only 3 cons that I've experienced with this mat, and they're conditional: 1- Depending on the type of shoes you wear, you may have trouble with movements that require you to pivot because your foot doesn't slide on this. 2- My bedroom has this crappy old carpet, so the mat does move on it after a bit of doing certain things on it. 3- The straps eventually came apart after about a year of daily use, but I replaced them with some others I bought on Amazon and they've been great. Overall I'm super pleased with this purchase and would absolutely buy from this company again.

I ordered this mat based on all of the raving reviews here, and wanted good quality. The first impression was great. The mat is thick, durable looking and fit nicely in my basement gym. I used it maybe 2x and my kettlebells scuffed the mat easily. I didn't throw them or wasn't rough with it, I simply moved them from one part of the mat to another and it scuffed the mat. I get that it's only a scuff but it's kind of an eye sore for me personally, and I honestly don't think it should be that easy to scratch with all the boasting gorilla mat makes on their product. I reached out to gorilla mat directly since they claim you will receive lifetime warranty, and all I was told was to send it back to Amazon. They never answered my question on their warranty, only that I should return it which is an inconvenience. So although the mat is nice, for the price it's worth exploring other options to see if there's a better one. Update: gorilla mat stands by their warranty. Received a replacement mat
