Sports Turf Systems
12 mm dense turf for gym flooring, sled lanes and functional training areas. Factory-direct from Relyir since 2006.
Why Specify Dense Short-Pile Turf for Gyms
Modern functional fitness gyms need a surface that handles extreme abuse — weighted sleds, dropped barbells, sprint intervals — while remaining comfortable for burpees, lunges and floor exercises. Artificial grass bridges this gap where rubber tiles and bare concrete fall short.
Sled push and pull exercises drag hundreds of kilograms across the surface. Flat Curly Tenacity 12 at 52,500 tufts/m² resists fiber tearing and matting under this load, maintaining a smooth track session after session.
The same turf that handles a loaded sled also cushions hands and knees during burpees, planks and crawling drills. The 12 mm pile over a rubber underlay delivers the balance of firmness and give that bodyweight exercises require.
Gym turf zones define functional training areas visually and create a professional look that sets the facility apart. Distance markings and gym logos can be tufted directly into the carpet during production for branded training zones.
Product Range
Gym turf needs maximum density at minimal pile height to handle sled abuse while staying comfortable for bodyweight exercises. Flat Curly Tenacity 12 is the primary gym product.
| Model | Pile Height | Yarn | Density | Gauge | Stitch Rate | Backing | Colors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat Curly Tenacity 12 | 12 mm | PE monofilament | 52,500 tufts/m² | 3/16″ | 25/10 cm | PP + non-woven + PP (PU optional) | Field green |
Roll sizes: 4 × 25 m or 2 × 25 m, maximum roll width 5 m. Distance markings and gym logos can be tufted on request. Full datasheets — including yarn weight and total weight — are provided with your quotation.
Performance Design
Traditional gym flooring forces a compromise. Rubber tiles handle dropped weights but shred under sled friction. Bare concrete handles sleds but destroys joints and creates noise. Foam mats cushion bodyweight work but tear under equipment drag. Gym turf eliminates this compromise by delivering all three requirements from a single surface.
The 12 mm pile of Flat Curly Tenacity 12 sits at the intersection of durability and comfort. At 52,500 tufts/m², the fiber density distributes sled-runner abrasion across thousands of contact points — preventing the wear channels that form in less dense products after weeks of heavy sled training.
At the same time, the short pile and PE monofilament construction create a surface that cushions hands, knees and elbows during floor exercises without being so soft that it destabilizes standing lifts or sprint starts.
Installation uses PU adhesive to bond the turf to a clean concrete subfloor, and the optional PU backing upgrade adds moisture resistance for facilities that mop frequently. No infill is used, keeping the surface clean and eliminating the bacteria-trapping granules that create odor issues in gym environments.
For gym chains outfitting multiple locations, the consistency of factory-direct supply means every facility gets the same pile height, density and color — roll after roll, order after order.
Factory Direct from Jiangsu
Relyir has manufactured artificial grass in Jiangsu since 2006. Every step — from raw PE pellets to finished rolls — runs on-site, which is how we control quality and hold pricing 30–50% below international equivalents.
All eight production stages are managed in-house, eliminating the quality gaps that arise when compounding, tufting and coating happen in separate facilities. The automated sports turf line, commissioned in 2015, lifted production capacity by 150% and tightened consistency across high-volume orders.
Customization is built into the line: blade density, pile height and fiber colors are adjusted to each project’s specification, with PP + net and PU backing options. The export team has shipped to more than 500 customers across 50+ countries since 2009 and handles all documentation — from commercial invoices to certificates of origin.
System Build-Up
Gym turf installation is straightforward — bond to a clean concrete floor and secure the edges. The simplicity of the system is part of its appeal for gym operators.
Clean, dry, level concrete. Any cracks or uneven areas are filled and ground smooth before installation. Subfloor condition directly affects adhesion and sled travel.
A thin rubber or foam pad adds impact absorption for plyometric exercises and reduces noise transmission to spaces below the gym floor.
PU adhesive bonds the turf to the subfloor across the entire area, preventing shifting under sled loads and lateral foot forces during training.
Perimeter edges are secured with adhesive and transition strips at junctions with rubber flooring or other gym surfaces. Distance markings complete the installation.
Our Flat Curly Tenacity 12 at 52,500 tufts/m² delivers the density to handle daily sled work while remaining comfortable for bodyweight movements. The no-infill installation keeps the facility clean and easy to maintain between sessions.
Yes. Flat Curly Tenacity 12 at 52,500 tufts/m² is specifically designed for high-wear applications including sled push and pull. The dense, short pile resists tearing and matting under heavy loads. For dedicated sled lanes, see our sled turf page.
Yes. The 12 mm pile provides cushioning for burpees, planks and crawling exercises without being so soft that it destabilizes standing lifts. For areas where extra cushion is preferred, a rubber underlay can be added beneath the turf.
Regular vacuuming or sweeping for dust and debris. Occasional damp mopping for sweat and spills. The no-infill system means there is no rubber granule to redistribute or replace — maintenance is comparable to rubber gym flooring.
Yes. Installation requires a clean concrete subfloor, PU adhesive and seam tape. Rolls are laid out, trimmed to fit, seams taped and glued, and perimeter edges secured. We provide installation guidance with every order.
Yes. Distance markings, measurement lines and gym logos can be tufted directly into the carpet during production. This is a popular option for CrossFit affiliates and commercial gym chains that want branded training zones.
Standard rolls are 4 × 25 m or 2 × 25 m with a maximum width of 5 m. Custom widths and lengths can be arranged for specific gym layouts. Full datasheets are provided with your quotation.
