Trusted by Top Facilities
Indiana University, Spooky Nook Champion Mill, and hundreds of top training facilities trust Ecore flooring for weight rooms, turf zones, and performance training areas. Ecore's surfaces are the foundation of championship programs.
The Science
Why Flooring Matters
The floor is the most used piece of equipment in any gym. Ecore's Performance Collection is engineered to protect athletes, reduce noise, extend equipment life, and last decades.
Shock Absorption
Ecore surfaces reduce impact forces transmitted to joints by up to 50% compared to bare concrete — protecting athletes and equipment alike.
Acoustic Dampening
The dBTile series provides maximum acoustic dampening for multi-story facilities, significantly reducing sound transmission to neighboring spaces.
Slip Resistance
All Ecore surfaces maintain a high coefficient of friction in both wet and dry conditions — critical for barbells, functional training, and high-traffic zones.
Fully Recyclable
Every Ecore Performance Collection product is fully recyclable at end of life. Made from reclaimed rubber — diverting millions of pounds from landfills each year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ecore Questions — Answered
Everything you need to know about Ecore commercial fitness equipment, warranties, delivery, and installation before you specify it for your facility.
itsTRU® is Ecore's proprietary fusion process that molecularly bonds a wear layer to a reclaimed rubber base layer. Unlike glued or rolled flooring that can separate, delaminate, or curl at the edges, itsTRU® creates a single, unified surface that maintains performance characteristics for decades. This is why Division-I programs and Olympic training centers trust Ecore for their most demanding weight rooms.
For free weight areas and Olympic lifting platforms, Ecore recommends 15mm to 42.5mm Performance Rubber to protect the subfloor from dropped barbells and absorb impact. For functional training zones and turf areas, 7.5mm to 12mm is typically sufficient. OptiFit conducts floor assessments and can recommend the exact thickness profile for every zone in your facility based on equipment type, traffic volume, and subfloor construction.
Yes. Ecore transforms millions of pounds of reclaimed rubber tires and industrial rubber scrap into high-performance athletic surfaces every year. Their Performance Collection contains significant reclaimed rubber content, making Ecore one of the most sustainable flooring manufacturers in the fitness industry. The itsTRU® process ensures that recycled material performs at the same level as virgin rubber.
Yes. OptiFit provides full Ecore flooring installation services including subfloor preparation, layout design, cutting and fitting, and final installation. We can work during off-hours to minimize facility downtime, and our team is trained in Ecore's specific installation requirements to ensure warranty compliance and optimal performance.
Ecore's rubber composition absorbs impact energy and dampens sound transmission. The thicker the profile, the greater the noise reduction. For facilities in multi-story buildings or with noise-sensitive neighbors, Ecore recommends 15mm+ profiles with acoustic underlayment options. The Performance Collection has been independently tested for impact sound and vibration reduction ratings.
Ecore offers 24+ color options across their Performance Collection, including flecked, solid, and custom color blends. Facilities can match school colors, brand palettes, or create visual zoning across different training areas. OptiFit provides color samples and 3D renderings to help visualize the finished space before ordering.
