Machine Yoga Mat for Home Gym Exercise Equipment Machine Stability, Non Slip Indoor Mat for Pilates, Stretching, Fitness, Bike or Squat Machine Floor Protector Mats, Black

Easy to put together and use. Will hopefully get the results from using everyday. One week so far and I really feel it in my glutes. I have had tight glutes for awhile and these squats are really helping to loosen the muscles.

Basics, mat dimensions are 5.7' x 2' x 1/8" (consistent with my measurements). Plain black with a grippy texture, top more textured than base but both grippy. This is interesting. I'd already been using a yoga mat to secure my machine but it was still a little slippy. Not bad at all, way less slippy than just using the DB Method on my bare flooring. I expected this mat to be just a yoga mat. It's pleasingly not. It's thinner but more dense, which allows for better floor stability and contact. It's heavier than the mat I was using, and holds fast to my laminate wood flooring. It's more of a rubber material with more texture. The picture in the listing doesn't quite convey the not-really-yoga-mattiness. Very non-slip. It does initially have a bit of a rubbery funky off-gassing, but it clears out quickly (within the first day leaving it unfurled) and it wasn't super off-putting for me. Doesn't include straps but fits well in the base of the DB method if you're not using it for other equipment storage, but also can drape nicely over the bar. I am a hot mess with my in-bedroom setup but this is a solid addition for dedication for my machine.

The ad says no pressure on my knees, but I am getting pressure on my knees.

I got this mat for stretching and other floor strengthening exercises. I have owned yoga mats before and was expecting something similar. I was a pleasantly surprised as I think I got a bit more than just a mat. First, I love that the color-just black! No crazy colors that I find distracting- just a nice neutral color that at doesn’t hurt my eyes! Thus, I can setup anywhere and even leave it out without being much of an eyesore! It also feels nice. It looked pretty thin the first time I unrolled it and I was worried about my knees smashing into the floor. It actually feels pretty good and my boney knees are not screaming out in pain! Good solid construction and definitely sticks to the floor and does not shift when I shift my weight. I also think that this will also work well as a mat for any exercise machine you might have although I have not tried it yet. I don’t think you can wrong with this mat- unless you want some crazy psychedelic color!

After spending about $300 for the DB Method I gifted my wife a long time ago, I never thought that I would end up buying her a mat too! 😀 Well, I'm so glad it was offered for review because going back in time, I remember that some of its grease stained my carpet and I had a rough time cleaning it. So now I realize the importance and functionality of this mat. Made specifically for the actual machine, and obviously the right lenght, this mat protects the floor surface and adds stability and prevents slipage to the DB Method exercise machine. Probably could have gotten any other "cheaper" mat, but might as well get the real deal!

This exercise mat is totally awesome. Exclamation it’s not any sicker than a classic yoga mat. But it has a durability that far exceeds a yoga mat. It did have a slight plastic smell upon unwrapping however, it dissipated within a day. It provides enough cushion that you can use it for exercise on the floor, or you can use it to rest weights or machinery on.

This feels like great quality material. It’s thick and soft. When I initially rolled it out, I was able to get it to lay flat right away and it didn’t try to roll up on the ends which was great. This would be perfect for putting under a piece of exercise equipment - it’s nice and long. But I’m using this for working out. I don’t workout on the hard floor - when I workout indoors, it’s on carpet. Doing yoga or floor exercises on carpet sucks - it’s scratchy and slippery and hurts my knees/elbows. I put my yoga towel on top of this and it was really great to workout on. Comfy on my knees and elbows and soft while being perfectly supportive. Very glad I got this instead of a yoga mat.

Cool to be able to find the original DB mat on Amazon for less than on the DB website. I didn’t buy the mat when I ordered the machine so I was glad to get this. It’s a strong thick mat, good for floor protection. Very comfortable for stretching before or after a DB workout. Sweat wipes off easily. Most of all, it just looks really cool with the machine!
