These athletic centers are finding that there is more value, advantages and functionality in installing turf to their facilities.

• Durability

            In athletic facilities, the floor takes a lot beatings from all of the high foot traffic, dropped barbells, dumbbells and much more. High quality turf is designed to withstand consistent wear and tear without any cracks, indentations, tears, ruts, holes or divots from the equipment.

• Shock Absorbing

Turf provides better shock absorbency and protection for athletes. The padded surface helps reduce the impact of falls and risk of athletic injuries. Turf decreases the pressure on joints and minimizes shock to the ankles, knees and hips. With high-impact workouts and repetitive moves, shock absorbing turf is a safe option for athletic training facilities.

• Adaptable Training

Customers are using training institutions to work on their speed and agility work. From strength training, specialty sports to Crossfit, turf allows athletes to do every drill or exercise at their highest level. With turf being easily comparable to real grass, the traction and resistance allows each individual to advance stronger performance. Gyms and athletic facilities that install synthetic turf, create an ideal indoor training surface for clientele.

• Aesthetics

Many gyms and training establishments focus on aesthetically pleasing their customers and clients. Turf training areas give the gym a modern appealing approach, putting the business ahead of their competition. Synthetic turf is designed to look lush and green all of the time. The constant appearance of a clean, professional facility increases overall appeal. Installing turf at a gym also institutes a sectioned area specialized for training that gives the gym a unique aspect.
