Flooring Designed to Withstand
Any Challenge
SAMMEN, BERGEN (NORWAY)
“We needed flooring that could handle both impacts and noise, and Pavigym Endurance has done exactly that. It’s resistant, comfortable and much quieter for our students.”
Bård Johansen, Director Sammen Trening
The Client
Sammen Gym, in the student village at the University of Bergen, is a popular fitness centre for students and staff, with constant heavy use in the strength and weight training areas. Due to the high traffic, Sammen needed a durable, reliable flooring solution that could withstand daily wear from intense workouts, maintain a polished look, and meet the demands of a busy university gym.
The Challenge
Sammen’s main challenge was finding flooring that could handle impacts up to 25kg in the free weight zones. With dumbbells and weights dropped repeatedly, they needed a solution that would wear well over time. The constant noise from dropped weights was also disruptive.
Additionally, Sammen required flooring with good grip to keep machines stable, ensuring a safe environment for all users.
The Solution
-
High resistance
Made from virgin rubber and thanks to its high-density design, Endurance is up to six times more resistant to wear and tear than recycled rubber, making it ideal for a busy university gym. Its reinforced coating also allows it to handle impacts from weights up to 25kg without damage.
-
Anti-slip surface
Endurance provides excellent grip, which helps keep weight machines and equipment stable, even with high use. This anti-slip feature adds a layer of safety, ensuring users can train confidently without the risk of equipment moving under pressure.
-
Noise absorption
Endurance’s noise-absorption properties absorb shocks and vibrations from dropped weights, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment, especially important in a busy heavily used gym space.
“Endurance has been a great choice for our weight rooms. It’s strong, reliable, and handles the heavy traffic we see every day.”
Bård Johansen, Director Sammen Trening
The Result
Since installing Endurance, Sammen Gym has become a better place to train, with users experiencing a range of benefits. The flooring’s high shock absorption means it stands up to daily use in the strength zones without showing wear, allowing Sammen to reduce maintenance costs and focus on delivering a top-quality training environment. The gym is now quieter, with less noise from weights being dropped, creating a more comfortable atmosphere that users truly appreciate. With the added safety of an anti-slip surface, users feel more secure during workouts, which boosts their confidence and allows them to focus on their training, leading to higher satisfaction and a better overall experience at Sammen Gym.
