I read the other reviews before I made up my mind to order. Good quality and just the right size for what we
needed. Using one under Sole Fitness F80 Folding Treadmill and the other under Precor 9.23 Treadmill with Ground Effects Technology.
So far so good!
The ProImpact Treadmill Mat arrived on time and boy! I was startled at how heavy the 6mm version is. It had a slight rubbery smell as I unpacked it, but it was little noticed once I had it installed under the treadmill. This mat is seriously solid and definitely quiets down the sound of the equipment.
"ProImpact treadmill mats are the same high impact professional grade material used in health clubs and by professional sports teams. Made in the USA from rescued tires, these mats are “Super Green” and will not compress, indent or curl like foam mats."
Once I air out the room, the smell is not noticeable, and I don't smell it at all while I'm working out. Also you would need a much thicker foam mat to get the same floor protection and impact absorption as you do with a rubber one. Selling point number two for me is that this mat is made from recycled material, which few if any foam mats can claim.
I have a 310+ pound treadmill that was having electrical problems, due to the vibrations when running on it, and this mat has seem to help eliminate that problem. This large, thick, and durable treadmill mat is exactly as advertised.
The ProImpact Treadmill Mat is a perfect size for my exerpeutic walking treadmill with a custom built desk on it. That being said, over time the smell dissipates and any curling left in the mat from being rolled up in a warehouse and during shipping comes out also.
The mat is really nice and works well. The eliptical machine seems more quiet on the mat. The smell of rubber is a problem. I've had the mat about 4-6 weeks. The smell has decreased, but you can still smell the rubber.
