perfect mat for the job October 11, 2008 This mat works excellently with the bowflex equipment! Big enough to sit under a treadclimber (which is where I use it), and keeps carpet dust out of the motor. I would say it is a must!

The Bowflex Eqipment Mat is nice and thick. Makes a great base for my Treadclimber.
Great Mat! July 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this comment useful.
I purchased this mat to go under my Schwinn Elliptical trainer. Looks great; very strong and sturdy. A great addition to the home gym.

Excellent product. A little overpriced at baseline, but caught a half-price sale again and bought a second one. Didn't want to take a chance on another brand. A bargain at the reduced price. Exceptionally durable.
Here is a much better alternative. November 24, 2007 9 out of 10 found this comment useful.
I have tried many different equipment mats and have always been disappointed. Mats like this bowflex mat offer very little protection for your equipment or floor. These mats rip very easily.
A much better alternative is a 4' x 6' x 3/4" thick rubber mat that you can buy from a farm supply store such as Blain's Farm and Fleet or Tractor Supply Co. I can't take credit for this idea. I discovered this when searching the web for a durable mat. This was suggested by many bodybuilders on the bodybuilding dot com website/forum. These rubber mats are called "Horse Stall Mats" or "Cow Stall Mats". These mats are made to last for years of abuse from cows and horses stomping, urinating, and other shtuff. Therefore, they will certainly hold up to exercise equipment, dumbbells/weights being dropped, and human sweat without a problem. I purchased two of these Cow Stall Mats from Farm and Fleet for $39 each. I got two incredible rubber mats for less than the price of one wimpy Bowflex mat.
One other tip... I have tried out the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells. They seem very cheaply made. That are very long even at smaller weight settings so they might hit your thighs when you are trying to do arm curls. When doing heavy dumbbell bench presses most people like to balance the dumbbells on end on your legs so you can "kick" them up into place. The Bowflex dumbbells are not shaped properly on the ends making this awkward. It could also create a safety issue if the dial is bumped and accidentally gets turned. After searching for the perfect dumbells I decided on the Ironmaster Quick-Lock Dumbbells 5-75lbs. from Ironmaster dot com. Another better alternative to the Bowflex are the Powerblocks. But the Ironmaster Quick-Lock dumbbells will give you the look and feel of REAL dumbells, the stand is included, and a lifetime warranty. I love mine!!! (The Ironmaster Super Bench is awesome too!)
