GymRatZ Grass Track (Green) DISCONTINUED

Due to the manufacturers changing the construction of the Blue grass, we don't consider it suitable for performance track use, and we've had to discontinue this product.
We have a far heavier duty track to replace it made in the UK and available in any width, not limited to 1m increments.

GymRatZ Crossfit Artifical Grass Performance Track

Due to change of manufacturing process we've had to drop this product as the replacement was completely unacceptable for gym use due to raised foam "drainge" bumps on the backing. Please see our alternative range of ultra-high quality GymRatZ PERFORMANCE Sled Tracks.

Notice of non-return of custom cut order. Please take note that like carpet, our artificial grass track is cut to order therefore each order is a custom order to very specific requirements and as such no returns are possible once the order has been sent for cutting (typically the same day or within an hour of placing your order). Please ensure your order is accurate and exactly to requirement before going through checkout/payment process as we can not cancel or give refunds on custom orders once processed.

 

The thickness of the grass is around 7 to 7.5mm so be wary of anyone claiming it to be 10mm
Installation advice: We strongly suggest bonding the grass track to the floor using our flexible 1 or 2 part grass track adhesive (2 part required for outdoor use or cold/damp warehouse fitting etc). Many floor surfaces might not be suitable for this fairly permanent solution or landlords would not agree to such modifications to the floor so the best solution would be to fix plywood or OSB boards to the concrete with plugs/screws first which will give a very flat surface on which to glue the track whilst remaing the floor to be returned to it's original state in the future.  Please note that the glue needs to be spread very thinly with a notched flooring adhesive trowel/spreader so as to leave just the adhesive beads rather than 100% surface coverage otherwise the glue coverage may be reduced by as much as 50% !


Having tested a great many types of artificial grass floors and surfaces in the quest for Crossfit performance grass track perfection we've finally found what we consider to be the ultimate combination of grass length, density, rigity, durabillity, underside traction and top side grip. No mean feat given the huge array of artificial grass mats available and the massive variation in price .

What's so special about our artificial grass of choice for your gym floor? Well for starters the product weight which isn't just an indication of grass density but a reflection of how well the grass is bonded (stitched and glued) to the backing material; as the grass gets longer and more luxurious the weight per M ^2 also goes up but the suitabillity for a performance artificial grass track comes down. As the density gets lower the risk of the grass moving under load increases so it's a fine balance getting the combination just right.

Available in widths of either 2m or 4m. cut to length.

Under regular use our artificial grass track / runway will eventually show signs of wear but not for a few years, and priced at a fraction of the cost of some of the other offerings (that we consider will wear at the same rate) we like to think we've got the balance of affordabillity and suitablillity for purpose as spot-on as you'll find.

Installation Instructions - GymRatZ advice:

Glue it down! Yes the adhesive we supply is considered a permanant solution but it's the only sure-fire way of ensuring your grass track will stay put when used with a weighted prowler or sled.
Manufacturers advice below suggests it's possibly too permanant a solution as the track WILL need replacing eventually so our advice has always been to lay a sacrificial floor surface made from Ply or OSB boards, screwed to the sub-floor then glue the track onto this.  (putting some tape over the screw heads before glueing to keep them glue-free for future removal would be a wise precaution)

When the time comes to replace the track, if you can't peel the grass from the boards simply unscrew them, turn them over, re-fix them to the floor and glue your new track to the clean surface using a notched flooring trowel/spreader to spread the adhesive into beads of glue.

Virtually zero damage to the floor below whilst providing a perfectly flat runway for sled/prowler work.

Perfect solution all round.

Installation of artificial grass track for gym use: (Manufacturers advice)

"Installation of the grass is purely down to the customer as it really depends on the ground the Grass is going on to. On a nice smooth floor a super heavy duty double sided can be used just to hold the grass in place. For maximum results or areas of extreme heavy use, you can use an all over carpet adhesive to stick the grass down. We normally advise customers to steer clear of this option as the grass is near impossible to take back up and can end up ripping the floor up with it." 

Manufacturers recommended tape is availble to purchase with the grass and glue option can be purchased although it's not an option we would advise for the above reasons and the reason that by the very nature of it's use in a gym; wear over time is inevitable.

With regards to the suitabillity of our grass track for gym work we have the following manufacturers statement:

"As with any soft floor covering from grass to contract style bitumen carpet tiles you are always going to see a degree in wear. However for holes to appear not just in the pile but the reinforced backing itself something has to physically puncture the turf.

Over the past 10+ years we have supplied over 20,000m2 of the supplied grass to gyms alone without a single problem in regards to suitability.  I can confirm that the grass in the photos is the same as supplied to all of your orders"

So there we have it. correct and appropriate use as seen in hundreds of gyms will provide no problems whatsoever but one would have to question the knowledge of any "coach" that puts so much weight on the sled that it causes issues with the track.

What we would say about any grass track being used as a performance track is that sled pull/push is not and should never be used as a test of strength or as an alternative to anerobic/resistance weight training. Typically the sled would be loaded up with a small percentage of the users body weight and a weight that the user can maintain momentum over a 10m contiunous (or accelerating) speed of momentum. If the weight is loaded up with too much weight and/or the sled inappropriately designed for grass track use you may experience problems such as premature wear or damage to the grass track. If the sled has been used outdoors on any surface the skids should be inspected very closely and any un-eveness polished out with a fine grade wet&dry paper prior to using it on a performance grass track.

WARRANTY NOTE: This grass track isn't made of Kevlar! abuse and misuse will damage or tear the track. Loading up a sled with too much weight (macho/ego loading) that can't be moved (or only moved a few metres) is going to cause damage to the fabric to the point of stretch induced tears.
Hard objects dropped or thrown, bounced, etc e.g. farmers walk handles, weighted yokes, etc etc will damage (hole) the grass . It's purpose is as a "runway" for pushing/pulling specifically designed sleds/prowlers etc. It should only be used on a smooth/flat surface to reduce the risk of wear/damage. It is NOT suitable for use on soft ground, grass, mud etc where sled skids are almost certainly going to dig in and tear the grass track. For this reason warranty is limited to defects that are evident on initial un-wrapping and inspection prior to use.

Don't make the mistake of buying the wrong artifical grass track for your gym, get it right the first time, buy from GymRatz the performance gym equipment specialists.

New Dimension

Review submitted on 7th February 2017 by

The artificial grass supplied by Gym Ratz is great stuff. It's hard wearing and looks great although I thought it was going to have the markings already on it hence the 8.
The service was spot on although the grass and the glue were delivered on two different days, possibly a courier error but not sure, this is where the 8 came from.
It has added a new dimension to my studio and opened up fresh possibilities for a variety of training. Bring on the conditioning.

Excellent Artifical Grass Track for the Gym

Review submitted on 26th March 2014 by

Since writing my original product description for this grass track, I've seen quite a number of alternative products and nothing else I've found can match this artificial grass for use in a gym environment. As such I've given it 10 stars to kick off the product reviews listing because I think it definitely deserves it.
