CrossFit Artificial Turf

CrossFit is the king of cross-functional sports training! This unique form of high-intensity strength training promotes functional athleticism. Its immense popularity has made it a staple of the fitness industry.Today thousands of gyms around the country now offer CrossFit classes as part of their regular exercise programs.

With so many people choosing CrossFit for their fitness needs, it’s essential that gyms provide a safe and comfortable surface that can withstand the rigorous demands of these intense workouts.

The History Behind CrossFit Turf

CrossFit has its roots in the military-style workouts developed by former gymnast Greg Glassman in the early 2000s. Since then, it has become increasingly popular among athletes looking for a high-intensity full-body workout. In order to accommodate these demanding workouts, gyms began installing specialized surfaces that could stand up to heavy use without being damaged or becoming slippery when wet.

Artificial turf was found to be perfect for this purpose due to its durability, comfortability, and non-slip properties. As a result, more and more gyms began installing artificial indoor gym turf specifically designed for CrossFit training.

How Turf Can Benefit Any Gym

Artificial turf isn’t just for CrossFit facilities! It can be used in virtually any gym setting for dynamic full-body workouts. There are a variety of benefits to using synthetic turf in the gym, including:

Reduced risk of slipping

Reduced risk of joint injuries

Cushioning and support

Low maintenance requirements

Professional appearance

Why Artificial Turf Is Better Than Other Gym Floorings

When compared to other commonly used flooring materials, such as rubber mats or carpet tiles, artificial turf features several key advantages that make it an ideal choice for any fitness facility looking for a durable and stylish training surface.

Slip-resistance

Unlike rubber mats which become slippery when wet, artificial turf offers better grip and stability than other training surfaces. Its slip resistance improves the quality of workouts while reducing the risk of injury.

Supportive

Synthetic turf provides reliable support and forgiving cushion during high-impact exercise, reducing stress on joints and ligaments. In the event of an accidental slip, the turf is able to better absorb shock than rubber or carpet, reducing the risk of injury.

Durable

Synthetic turf is easier to maintain than other training surfaces, and will last for years with proper care.
