Hey guys, just curious. Since my parents aren't that supportive of me going to a commercial gym (due to the distance), I'm working out at home, and I'm terrified I'll crack the tiles if the heavy weights drop, what I'm wondering is what kind of flooring does gyms use, so it can withstand the shock of falling weights.

Any any ideas guys?

same here lol. only marble and terazzo here. but now my dbs and barbells hv been practically untouched for years since i enrolled at a gym.
i used yoga mats whn i worked out at home to put my weights on. the foam type. get a few and stack them up and you'll have a nice, padded surface to protect ur tiles.
