Awesome!
Ditto
Garage gym reviews has invested money in his awesome home gym. Now its time for serious hair transplant tough guy 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😷
@@eddienguyen1884 nah, just grow a beard
@@zakkai transplant needed there too 😉
Baby did hear it and opened his eyes!
Haha I know!! Thankfully though it wasn't enough to fully wake him. Pretty funny!
Cute kid by the way!
How far was the baby away from the noise in terms of distance and number of walls/ceilings away?
Yup! I seent it!
dude he heard it, opened his eyes and if you do that one more time he would be awake. Be real man!
I got some genuine horse stall mats, used! Pissed on by genuine real horses!
GENUINE!
Same here. Not easy to maneuver these things but WAY better than the expensive flimsy mats they sell at Dick's.
Smell that piss before going for a PR and you're in business
Your baby is just super chill. He totally opened his eyes and just said foik it I’m going back to sleepin.
I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the czcams.com/users/postUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B
He opened his eyes for sure
This is a great video. But I will say there are less expensive options to your blue mats. I bought foam from a craft store and a stall mat. I cut the foam and stall mat to size then made a mat with 3 layers, foam/stall mat/foam. It works really well and there is almost no noise when I drop my barbell.
This is the coop in the old house, now its all a production , I love the raw normal guy in the garage vibe much more
EXCELLENT advice!! I'm converting a bedroom to a garage gym...used 3/4 inch plywood (subfloor) and got some Stall mats from local tractor supply store - ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! and INEXPENSIVE!! Thank you Coop!!
Downward Spiral how much was the mats
You're awesome Cooper! Just getting ready to buy all 24 stall mats for our pole barn gym and now we are SOLD. No doubt your humor and personality help people who watch you regularly.
did you ever get the smell out after 3 years?
Exactly what I have , had this in my gym for 7 years now and it’s taking a beating and still looks great
smell still there? how did u get it out or did you?
Thanks. A friend of mine had a 4x4 piece of stall mat left over from his gym. I begged for him to sell it to me so I could build a deadlift platform. Can't wait to get more. Great vid.
Thx a lot for sharing your experiences and suggestions! I have started building my home gym on a value budget basis! Rogue RML-3W rack, PRX 4 peg w/wing weight plate storage (wall mounted), used bumper plates at $1 per pound, battle rope, Rogue Matador, used commercial treadmill, climbing rope, Power Block dumbbells, and more!
What was is flooring made of.
@@chad4698 horse stall mats. Bought mine from Tractor Supply Company; they are 4' x 6' x 3/4" and are absolutely perfect for my needs!
Horse Stall Mats...dude you're a fucking genius. This is the only video on flooring anyone needs to see. Thank you.
The plugs in the beginning was hilarious. That's how everyone sounds
Dude, the baby's eyes opened.
yea but did he wake up?!
@@muffemod I mean if his eyes are open, he was probably awake. It wasn't a big deal because he had a binky and went straight back to bed probably
@@muffemod If his eyes are open he's awake. Who the fuck sleeps with their eyes open?
@@lh1690 I've been caught on video with my eyes open while sleeping usually when I sleep on my back. (sleep study) The administrator didn't seem to think it strange.
@@whitecherokee73 That sure would be a neat tricky for office meetings.
Baby opened his eyes! Lol
Haha I saw that after!
CoopTrains he still didn't wake up so good job!
Also, put sound dampening stuff on the walls and door. Put one of those slide-under-the-door things that has basically foam on the bottom edge. Do stuff drummers would do. Egg shell mattress foam on walls, etc. Put ambience noise/music in kids room to mask outside noises.
I just rented a truck and picked up the eight horse stall mats that I needed from Tractor Supply. They are selling out immediately as soon as they restock because of the pandemic so I got it fresh out the truck.
It looks like I'm going to Tractor Supplies to get some stall mats! I do have those exercise mats and noticed my rack system is completely uneven. Thanks for the great tip
Don’t lie to me Cooper I saw his eyes open
Rule number 1 of a home gym. If your drug dealing neighbours don't hear your death metal at 3:30 in the morning; you aren't doing it right.
😂
Hey I got those kind of neighbors also! Lol
My drug dealers are across the street. That would be some loud metal.
Kelly E same. It’s convenient at times.
If you ain't pissing your neighbors off it ain't loud enough
Before I ever saw videos on it, my first that was that some stall mats would be an easy way to get my home gym started. Not for the price, but just for the convenience of going to pick them up at my local farm supply. Anything else, I’d have to order.
This video saved me hundreds of dollars.... i got my stall mats from tractor supply company..... thank you so much for this
Brian R for how much?
THEYakKi i got six 3x4 mats for approx $170
Brian R thank you!
Freakin laughed at the follow us like us on social media intro! Great video brotha, just subscribed! 💪🏼😎
AWSOME we gonna get that!
This nugget popped up in my feed. You’ve come a long ay, Coop
I seen his eyes lazily open but wasn’t startled. I see you’re a financial expert on another channel speaking about Dave Ramsey and TPS, very cool
Yes yes yes! This video is what inspired me to actually start my own home gym and keeps it cheap
The new rubber smell does go after a few weeks!
Thanyou so much for the tips! Was looking for "exercise" mats for my gym, and happen to stumble upon your video! Guess I'll be getting some stall mats haha
Glad it was helpful!
Sir, I am researching equipment to start my home gym. I have watched a lot of your videos and read a lot of your reviews. Do you still recommend the horse stall mats as the best flooring (since this video is 2 years old)? Also, did you have any issue with the smell of the mats? I read a few reviews that complained about a strong unpleasant smell. Thanks in advance!
Just got 4 stall mats gonna let them air and sit in the sun for a few days to dimish the smell. Can't wait to lift on em
Did the smell go away for you?
To all the people that say its too expensive. Then don't line the entire floor. Just the areas that need it or use cheaper stuff on areas where you are just going to stretch or stand there doing curls.
Lol baby heard it and thought, man those are so.e good stall mats dad.. then went back night night. Great video Coop. 📹 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good video!
Brandon Campbell Diamond ayyyyyyyy it's my favorite beardless powerlifter!!
Brandon Campbell Diamond fancy seeing you here, my friend. Lol
Thanks Brandon!
Ive used all the other tile style mats and they suck.
I saw horse stall mats being sold and wanted to see if it’s appropriate.
Thanks for this video. Definitely will be buying them
Great content! As a garage gym owner your videos definitely help inform me 👍
Thank you!
We have this flooring in our entire basement. It doesn’t absorb vibration enough, dropping weights shakes our house and our neighbors house too, who has been complaining and we are on the search for new flooring!!
His eyes opened.
He literally opened his eyes the moment you dropped lol
I am being sold on the idea of these "comfort tiles" like Dundee Drain and Comfort Tiles. And I am told that they're 1'' thick but that they will do the job. However I don't trust the sales man who doesn't know what CrossFit is lol
I'm starting to build a home gym and was already considering stall mats. What in your opinion is the maximum deadlifting weight you should consider lifting on a stall mat before you should consider putting plywood or double layering stall mats to protect cement foundation? Since horses weigh approx. 800-2200 lbs. or 362-1000kg I am hoping a single horse stall mat can support the lifting and dynamic movements from potential falls from 100-400lbs or 45-200kg. Btw, in my particular case you're points about platforms were great; but I don't feel like I need a platform b/c I do straight deadlifts and avoid overhead lifts b/c of scoliosis.
Love the video. I actually am purchasing my whole gym set up and was looking at flooring. This video helped alot. For the sound, ....there is no way I van while my kids sleep since they some how can hear a cow fart in a field in a different county....
🤣🤣🤣
*slams weight*
*baby clearly hears the noise and opens eyes*
*they work!!*
really good video mate. Im in the market for home gym flooring. So ill definitely be going with this option.
The problem with stall mats is the smell. I had read about it but didn't realize how bad it would be until I had them in my car! It fades with time but I still have to air the garage when I workout many months later.
Ha, beat ya to it. I bought 3/4" horse mats at Tractor Supply Co. 3 years ago. Awesome. BTW, they way 90 Pounds each!!
Nothing is perfect. Baby woke up, but went right back to sleep. I guarantee without those pads. He would've woke up. Crazy how well those work bro.
Great video and shown examples.
How much did you get those horse stall mats for a piece? "Exercise mats" go for almost a $100 a square on amazon for 1/2 inch. I have seen some stall mats go for $45-50. Does that sound about right for 3/4 inch?
You should make a video of what weights and bars you need.
Are you gonna make a video of your tool box/garage tour. Because I totally watch that
Lol the baby's EYES! You know he had to be thinking. "DAD!"
Could you do a video of an in home gym setup? Worried about flooring inside the in home gym. Keep up the good work Coop!
In the Netherlands, we can get rubber tiles that are used for playgrounds up to 3.9 inches.
I guess that might be somewhat overkill...
Your garage gym is more useful than all my gym memberships combined
Very helpful. Thanks, I was wondering why the flooring I was looking at was so expensive. Now I have a better alternative. Good video.
You're welcome!
Garage Gym Reviews Hey Coop, I’ve been told by some gym suppliers in the UK to avoid stable mats as they’re called over here, as it doesn’t dampen much noise and absorb much vibration? Are they just trying to push “gym flooring” on me? They mentioned something about gym flooring being “granulated” ??? Thanks in advance!!
do you think 1/2 inch matting would suffice? if 3/4" wasn't available?
Thanks Coop. Big fan. Does anyone in this chat experience the smell emanating from these pads? Haven’t pulled the trigger yet but leaning towards getting these mats. My garage has a slight pitch, about 1/2 inch leaning outside for obvious reasons. Any suggestions of how to level that part of my garage floor. Its a 3 car garage and utilizing the two car side which is about 200 square feet. Thanks everyone, stay safe. God bless America🙏🏼🇺🇸
Its a personal choice, but horse stall mats give off very high VOCs and as a result are not good for your health. If you want rubber that is relatively safe go for Vulcanized SBR rubber mixed with virgin rubber (thats the color bits) OR if your lucky enough to afford the very best VIRGIN rubber (although not necessary since there is good alternatives in the SBR type) But really horse stall mats in enclosed space where you will go to work out is not healthy long term.
Baby gave the "TAKE YOUR ASS TO SLEEP PLEAAAASSEEEEE" side eye LOL
Are they still a good idea? I followed the recommendation to use in-expensive horse stall mats from tractor supply. I put 6 in my basement before building a power rack on top of them. It's been a couple of weeks now and the smell coming into my house is awful. We get used to it until we leave for a bit and come back. Now if it makes any difference since this was made - I've read a few reviews on tractor supply's website that many folks complain they are not the mats they used to be. Mine have a diamond patter on top, not smooth. I've tried cleaning them with simple green based on some recommendations to no avail. I heard airing them out helps but that takes months outside in the sun. It's winter and they are enclosed with no windows in my basement. I'm also concerned after reading other opinions that we are breathing in harmful chemicals. I'm wondering if I need to swap out with mats made for the gym.
Nice bro. I was looking for some mats for my new garage gym👍🏽👍🏽💯💯
Kid was definitely jolted by it but nothing that would freak him out. Now THAT'S how you sell a product lol.
He's sooo sweet and adorable 😊😊😊
Great vid, Coop! 👍👍👍
Great advice, thank you
hilarious video but also informative!! thanks so much!!
Where do we buy Horse stall mats?
I am considering using this flooring and most likely going to cover a 9’ x 22’ area.
Question 1.) Do you think I should still epoxy coat my entire concrete garage floor as I had planned on before laying down the horse stall mat material?
Question 2.) do I need to use an adhesive to make them stay? I will need to cut the material to make them fit I think. The remaining area of my garage will be used for typical garage activity, home improvement projects, tool storage, etc.
Concerned with the transition area from mat to bare concrete being a trip hazard or Coming up. Maybe I should just cover the whole floor with the horse stall mats then🤔 anyone with thoughts please chime in with suggestions... thanks
Awesome suggestion! Thanks for making the search easy.
If placing the stall mats on carpet should I be worried about damaging the carpet at all ? Anything I should place below the stall mat to protect the carpet that wouldn’t make the stall mats slip around ?
I don't think so!
Awesome video man. Thank you!
Baby did hear it, opened his eyes
Some how he found a way to make mats interesting 😂
Ikr - i dont think I would’ve watched otherwise
Hi! Great video! Bought the stall mats, but having trouble effectively cleaning them. What do you recommend? Also, the are gaps in between as not all of them fit together perfectly, so some extra dirt gets between them. Any insight is appreciated!
Never answered 😔
dude this video just made my day! hahaha your baby's eyes opened like wtf just happened LOL
Has anybody used the horse stall mats but still parked their car on them occasionally? I want to protect the floor but still park in garage at night.
I read a comment somewhere that said that you can do that but they will get dirty.
If a thin horse foot can a wide tire of a car can
Na honestly I think that should work cause the tires have the weight on a larger surface
you should put acoustic foam om your ceiling to make some of that echo and resonance go away
That's a great idea. I haven't thought of that but will see what I can find. Any recommendations?
Hey Coop any advice for getting rid of the rubber VOC smell? I installed 15 mats in my basement and the smell is noticeable as soon as you enter the house. I've ordered an air purifier with an active carbon filter which I've heard helps, waiting for that to arrive from Amazon. Airing them outside in the sun doesn't quite work for me as i live in northern Canada...

Thank you for the tips on stall mats- do u think we can drive on them when we put the car in the garage?
So the 3/4”, 4’ x 6’ mats are harder to find, but they do have 1/2”, 4’ x 3’ mats. That should work just as well, right?
Cost is just slightly more ($3 more per 4’ x 6’), but probably easier to move around.
The baby woke up 😂😂
Hey man, great vid ! What do you do for heating and cooling your garage ?
Wanted to buy but a lot of reviews said they kept getting different stall mats then pictured. I guess Id have to go in person because apparently ordering them they will give you mats that don't match up with what is pictured. :(
Also the horse stall mats are $70 each where I’m from😭
Had our pound pads for about a year now...still work well but they have developed noticeable divots and the absorption/sound reduction has definitely worsened from when they were new. As I understand it they were coming out with a new and improved pad next year...
Aww, that's unfortunate to hear. Hopefully the durability increases.
Adorable kiddo coop. Thanks for another great vid
Thanks Kev!
Stall mats are cool, but they’re awfully cumbersome to move into something like duplex building (especially alone, if even possible). They weigh at least 100 pounds and usually, 6x4 inches in length. When I had my gym in the basement, it was like hell hauling that thing downstairs and up. What would you suggest, that someone do if they didn’t had the manpower but needed to stall flooring for an up or downstairs area?
Tractor Supply sells hay bale hooks. Drill a hole in the corner of the mat and pull with hay hook.
I have a big pound pad, it’s my king size bed, that’s where I do all of my pounding.
im looking for some appropriate flooring as well, another home gym site suggested NOT using horsestall mats because they give off noxious and toxic fumes
Another great informative video, thanks!
Very knowledgeable information, well spelled out
Baby heard something, he opened his eyes, lol.
And after doing a few more reps during an actual workout babys gonna be wide awake and crying.
@@DavidBuckley79 then have the baby lift while you sleep
This is a great idea...but I live in a rural equestrian community in Canada. For some reason, that means that horse stall mats are actually more expensive than gym flooring. fml haha.
Buying: Tractor Supply 3/4" Horse Stall Mats for boxing bag I have on 2nd floor hope this helps the noise
I have a home gym in the process and have a gorilla exercise mat. I haven’t noticed any wobbliness or anything but the weights do leave a little crease/dent in the padding, but it’s temporary. Is it going to harm my flooring (I don’t really drop the weights because I don’t want to risk it)
I’m ordering stall mats ASAP. Great advice
bro i tried looking for some and all of their shipping prices are over ~$250 :(
Great video Coop as always 👍🏽 nice video production also. Very creative with the baby shot and weight drop 👌
Thank you! Always trying to improve!
Im sold. Where do I buy em (stall matts)?
They are expensive everywhere now 😞
Bought a few of these Matt’s currently workings on the odor before bringing them inside garage any suggestions?Also I researched and some has said the mats are toxic and could cause health issues I’m not sure how true that is so anyone know the truth?
Took him abt 1 minute to say that Rubber floor tiles are superior to thin foam.
Dude, cmooooon! No foam for serious anything. No foam!
Hello Coop!
Do you still recommend this flooring?
Thanks!
I went all out on my floor. 3mm underlay., half inch plywood, another 3mm underlay then 15mm stall mat.
