I actually wasn't sure I'd really love the rubber floor before getting it, but I did mainly get it because my garage floor has permanent car-oil-grease stains from the prior owners (I decided not to park cars in the garage and took it over for my gym).

It wasn't super ugly or anything but now that I added the rubber flooring, it finally has a real 'gym look' as opposed to 'looks like a garage with stuff in it'.

I guess another way of putting it, is that before the flooring, I'd get in there ONLY for the workout, crank it out, and get the heck out of there as fast as possible. It just happened that way, it wasn't like I though "wow this is an ugly garage (it's not.)"

Now after the flooring though, I get off the bike/TM/Vasa, and feel that soft, clean (EASY to clean!) springy and not-cold surface, and I'll actually decide to hang around for another 15+ minutes if I have the time to finish whatever show I'm watching and do strength training. Or in yesterday's case, I liked it so much in there that after a 60min Zwift ride, 45 min run, I decided I liked it enough in there that I could add 40 more mins of vasa for the trisport workout!

Again, YMMV, but for me, I absolutely love it. My wife loves it too, which is telling (and she doesn't work out much - she just likes the way it looks now compared to before!)

And at <$200, you might as well try it. You can send them back to Amazon very easily if you don't like them as well - the boxes they come in are light and not bulky. I should honestly start another thread about what a cheap and easy home gym upgrade this is.
