Enhance your gym surface with artificial grass
Gym owners looking to create a durable, low-maintenance, and versatile workout space should consider the many benefits of artificial grass flooring.
- Durability: Artificial grass withstands high-impact activities like sled pushes, plyometrics, and weightlifting without showing wear and tear.
- Low maintenance: Gym owners can ditch the tedious upkeep and wear and tear of rubber flooring.Â
- Versatile training: Artificial grass creates versatile training grounds for sled tracks, agility drills, and functional training zones within your gym.Â
Choosing the right artificial grass for your gym
Choosing the right artificial grass for your gym depends on your specific needs. Here are three key factors to consider
- Pile Height: Pile height impacts functionality. Shorter piles (around ¾ inch) are ideal for weightlifting and provide a stable surface. For activities like sled pushes or agility drills, a longer pile (around 1-1.25 inches) offers more cushioning and comfort.
- Drainage:Â For outdoor gyms, proper drainage is crucial. Choose artificial grass with a perforated backing or drainage channels to prevent water pooling.
- Infill Materials: Infill materials like sand or rubber crumb fill the space between the grass blades. Sand provides a firm surface for weightlifting but requires more maintenance. Rubber crumb offers better cushioning and drainage but can trap sweat and odour, requiring regular cleaning.

Tips for installing artificial grass in your gym
Preparation is key
- Subfloor: Ensure your floor is clean, level, and free of cracks, bumps, or debris. Unevenness will show through the turf.
- Measure & Choose Grass: Measure your gym space carefully to determine the amount of artificial grass needed. Consider the type of activities planned for the grass and choose an artificial grass designed for high traffic and appropriate drainage.
- Let the Grass Relax: Unroll the grass and allow it to rest for 24 hours indoors. This lets the material relax and prevents warping after installation.
Installation
- Seams: When using multiple turf rolls, lay them seam-to-seam and use seam tape or glue specifically designed for artificial grass to create a smooth, secure connection.Â
- Work in Sections: Avoid gluing down all the grass at once. Work in manageable sections to ensure proper positioning before securing it with glue.
Finishing Touches:
- Infill (Optional):Â For areas with high foot traffic or sled use, consider adding infill materials like sand or rubber crumb to provide stability and cushion.
- Trim the Edges: Once the turf is secured, use a sharp knife to trim the edges for a clean finish.
- Brushing:Â Brush the turf upright to restore its pile height and natural appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, high-quality artificial grass designed for gyms can provide a safe and comfortable surface for many exercises. However, ensure the grass has adequate shock absorption for high-impact activities.
While some sweat absorption is normal, well-maintained artificial grass shouldn’t become slippery. Choose a grass type with good drainage properties to prevent sweat from pooling on the surface.
Both have advantages. Artificial grass can be softer on joints and easier to clean in some cases. Rubber flooring offers excellent durability and traction. The best choice depends on your specific needs and priorities
Installation difficulty depends on the gym’s size and complexity. Smaller areas can be DIY projects, while larger gyms might benefit from professional installation. If unsure, get in touch and we can help you out.Â
High-quality artificial grass, with proper care, can last for many years. The lifespan depends on usage, maintenance, and choosing the right grass for the specific activities.
