Exercise Mats


Exercise mats provide support and cushioning for clients, ensuring comfort and safety during floor exercises, stretching, and core strength workouts while also offering a non-slip surface for better stability if working outdoors or in studios.

It’s essential to provide your clients with a comfortable and durable exercise mat. Pre and post-workout warmups are just as important for the progress of your new clients as the workouts themselves. Using a reliable exercise mat with a good grip, to facilitate a strong pre and post-workout stretching routine may help reduce the risk of injuries. 

This is also true during the main workout, as they allow your clients to confidently push themselves thanks to the stable footing the mats can provide. Depending on your preference we stock a wide range of mat thicknesses, ranging from 4mm to 15mm.
