TigerTurf sports turf in gyms provide an optimum surface for resistance training, adding splashes of colour to define workout areas, and for long term hygiene and easy cleaning. Their durable, well-designed turf is the product of intensive research and testing that can transform uninspiring functional areas into vivid, attractive exercise areas to work out in. You imagine it; they make it happen.

TigerTurf’s top quality TigerTurf Wett Pro is highly recommended for their gym customers and has performed well for resistance training such as sled push/pull, high impact conditioning and indoor field training. Wett Pro is a non-directional product, allowing gym equipment to slide smoothly across the surface evenly and in any direction, thanks to the advanced monofilament fibre technology used in developing this remarkable turf.

TigerTurf Wett Pro will certainly perform when it comes to longevity. The durability and lasting performance of Wett Pro has been well proven by years of hard use on TigerTurf’s hockey pitches. Hockey facilities are in play every day of the week for concentrated training and competitions – for which TigerTurf Wett Pro is by far the best surface.

Gym customers use TigerTurf Wett Pro and TigerTurf Advantage for skills training too. Quick turns, slides and sudden stops will not damage our surfaces, which have been designed for such use and are also non-slip for safety.

TigerTurf Advantage, one of their top selling products, was produced by their advanced technical research and development team as a multi-use sports turf suitable for many sports as well as general gym use. The durable structure of the Advantage turf surface makes it ideal to withstand the rigours of daily use. This product can also be used for resistance training, high impact and indoor field sports.

TigerTurf Trophy is a multi-purpose surface suitable for general gym use. Although not recommended for sled training, its longer pile can be used to great effect in creating textured effects to break up large areas. Softer to the touch, with a longer pile, it could be used for pathways to guide gym users around work out areas you’d rather they didn’t walk through.  Colourful TigerTurf surfaces can define and separate workout areas throughout your gym. The positive effect of colours helps stimulate energy and interest which fires up the enthusiasm of your customers as they come to do their workout. TigerTurf can work with you on a plan that fulfils all your practical requirements and brings warmth and personality into your gym.

TigerTurf Trophy is the best turf you could use in the children’s gym area. It is natural for children to roll and play on grass, and this soft synthetic grass surface can be designed and made with colourful images within the surface. You can also chose to have a safety pad installed beneath the surface for peace of mind. In terms of hygiene, Trophy is easily kept clean and fresh during frequent use.

You can talk to TigerTurf about other areas you’d like to install turf in and they can advise you on the best product for each activity.                

Most skill training for sports is carried out on turf these days, and TigerTurf can install these with a shock absorbent pad beneath to cater for a softer feel and longevity of the product. Running or sled tracks can be made up with permanent lines to mark out the areas unique to their customers requirements.  They can also insert numerals or words into the turf, and create patterns and shapes using different coloured turfs. Ask TigerTurf about featuring your brand logo in the turf surface or about creating a distinctive, themed look throughout your gym to reflect your brand

Most gym areas are indoors so TigerTurf have put their turf through the relevant tests to make sure they comply with Fire Safety Standards. Different buildings have separate requirements so please check with your TigerTurf rep for the right certification.

Fresh clean TigerTurf surfaces don’t absorb odours as carpets and mats tend to do – usually a squirt of a recommended cleaner, water and a stiff broom restores the surface to its immaculate finish, so you can relax and enjoy the Zen effect of fresh green grass for very little effort.

TigerTurf  can be laid directly over concrete or over a rubber mat – talk to TigerTurf about what will work best for you in terms of how you’d like to use the product.
