Are Cork Floors Suitable for Gyms? | Jelinek Cork USA

Is cork flooring suitable for gyms & workout spaces?

Cork glue-down and floating floors are ideal choices for workout spaces and home gyms without heavy free weights or equipment. It is especially well-suited for yoga and pilates studios due to its supportive nature.

For gyms with heavy free weights and equipment, we recommend our 12mm rubber cork flooring in either the black sand or galaxy colorways, which are specifically designed for high-traffic and high-impact areas.

  1. For studios and gyms that offer hot yoga, we recommend using glue-down flooring to minimize expansion and contraction caused by temperature and humidity changes.
