I had great luck with this on wood floors. It's a simple rubber mat that held up to the trainer legs. I had another one from amazon that was too soft and started getting torn up over time.

and trainer on that. A lot of dampening and dispersion blah blah blah's behind it.

Matts. Where in Chicago.......

Welcome to Chicago Francois!

I'd go for a weightroom floor mat: thicker, more durable and no seams for sweat/dna to leak thru. They won't creep, and won't scrape the floor. which your landlord will appreciate.

I think I got mine at Fitness Factory

If you are really worried about keeping the floor pristine, use protection film underneath the mat.

I tried several things and this is the winner.....hands down. It is a horse stall mat. You may not have a Tractor Supply near you, and not sure how they would ship this.....but a Horse Tackle Shop near Chicago should be able to help as well.

Perfect. I just drove past it as we live in Forest Park, and it's just down the street. Will go and check. Well, whenever the movers show up anyway.
