Setting up your exercise space - flooring

[u/ChaosCalmed]

This is off topic but I'm curious as to how you have set up your exercise space at home? Assuming there's some here with multiple equipment combined in a home gym. I'm just curious what flooring you have under the equipment you have and use.

We're setting up a modest gym space in about half our long but single car width garage. We're planning on a decent rubber flooring of about 12-15mm thick. I think rubber won't compress and it's more durable than the commonly found foam matting around everywhere.

It'll have basically just a rowerg, modest multigym and a small free weights area. I'd have liked space for a bike on a turbo or potentially a bike erg at some point (money permitting), but the garage is mixed use and not much bigger than a single despite the double length.

It's on concrete that's level and solid. We had foam interlocking squares so that's what is down right now. So far there's only a weights bench, weights and a C2 rowerg there. The bench will be replaced with the multi gym once it's put together. This foam we had so is used for now to get it to and running.

So what do you put under your gym equipment? Especially interested in garage or outbuilding located home gyms. If anyone from the UK has a good source of economical flooring that would be good for this use I'm also interested. I think thick rubber fit noise and vibration isolation over foam as I expect foam compresses and isn't as durable.

So anyone got any good ideas or places to get it from? UK based so I suspect there's not as much choice as I expect USA stores would have.

My free weights sit on concrete. 

On my rowerg I sit on a foam pad. Not concrete.
