“What type of flooring should you put in a gym or health club or fitness center?”
For the main gym where all the equipment goes I used the bare concrete and i acid stained mine and sealed it so no matter what goes on it, it still looks good. I do recommend you putting at least 3 coats of clear sealer on it.

In the cardio area i like to use carpet, and i recommend using the squares that are about 2′ x 2′ and when anything happens to one piece you simply pull it up and replace it very easily. The best part is anyone can install full rooms by themselves with no knowledge of laying carpet.
In my gym i have a power lifting section and a dumbbell section that i have rubber pieces laid down in. I got the 1/2″ x 4′ x 6′ from a school gym that was getting different flooring for their new gym. The reason i use rubber flooring is that the people that use the heavy dumbbells usually drop them and that tore the carpet up really bad and it looked bad to the visitors coming in.
The flooring i recommend for aerobic rooms is a wood flooring that has rubber cushion attached to it. Its called Boflex flooring. I’m in the process of getting it put down in my wife’s personal training and pilaties and yoga room.
For bathrooms i use a wood floor that snaps together and has a cushion that lays down separate first. You can get this flooring at home depot, sams club, or lowes.
These are my reccomendations for flloring for gyms and health clubs and fitness centers.
