Premium Large Exercise Mat

The Yo Gorilla Mat has enhanced my home workout experience and performance. I bought the 7x 5 mat, which I find is large enough to accommodate multi-dimensional HIIT moves such as bear crawls with jacks or lateral bounds and burpees. It's also smalll enough that it only takes up a quarter of my living room space.

The rubber material is durable and comfortable and prevents against slippage. I feel confident doing HIIT exercises such as burpees and dumbbell weight exercises such as squat thrusters, lunges, one legged etc. on the mat. I also enjoy sitting or kneeling abdominal and mobility exercises on the mat. Finally, it's relatively easy to fold up and put away each day, at least for its durability and size. I furthermore enjoy unfolding and folding it every day because it transforms my living room into a gym. It's my little workout oasis and because I like the material, I get excited to utilize the mat and begin my workouts.

I gave it four stars for two reasons. First, it does not absorb sweat very well and therefore I can slip on wet spots when I'm not careful. (to prevent against this problem, I have begun wiping my face off with a towel more frequently). Second, the mat does get marked up with surface scratches pretty quickly, especially if you use weights on it. This is not a big deal to me because the mat is for working out and is not an interior design statement, but still something worth noting.

All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase. I love the feel of the mat and surface area of the mat. It's worlds better than a yoga mat in terms of durability and comfortability.

I love this mat more than I expected to! High quality and reliable. Thank you!

Great Great one

My first one is 5 years old and looks brand new. I recently bought another one to enlarge my space. Love it, they are the best!

This is a great product. It only took a day to get it to lay perfectly flat (was only curled at one end). The thickness is perfect.
