I am not dropping them or doing anything extreme but was wondering if I should throw down a big pad or something. Carpet will get replaced eventually as I haven't changed it from when I moved in but if there is something cheap and easy that sounds better. Great if they can double for a workout mat for yoga and whatnot.
Saw these and they aren't expensive. Also have heard of guys using horse mats in the past.

Also have heard of guys using horse mats in the past. www.amazon.com/dp/B00K2TWXD6 I have two sets of those making a 6'x8' area in my garage. I use it as stretching, rolling and heavy bag area, no lifting on them, too squishy. They're cheap, but works for that. On top of carpet? Is it thick, or heavily padded? If so, those tiles will always be coming apart, same for the horse mat. If that's the case you might want to build more of a platform, then pad it. You could do 2 sheets of plywood joined together (have to get creative), then the mats on top. |

Why not just pull carpet in your weight room and seal the floor?

I have no idea on the cost I am not handy so anything other than laying stuff on the ground I would have to hire out It is my great room which is right when you walk in the front door. I don't know how long I am going to be in this house and might convert it into a rental Quoted:

You clean floor and roll on sealer. It's that easy. I don't know how it would look in your living room though.

I do deadlifts on carpet, haven't seen any indication it is wearing it down.

To make it look real nice it needs a skim coat. But for a gym just to keep the dust down all you need to do is seal it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Awesome maybe I'll look into that for the future. That wouldn't prevent any future carpet or tile going back on it right? I really don't know anything about this stuff |
