{"product_id":"wahoo-kickr-floormat","title":"Wahoo KICKR Floormat","description":"\u003cp\u003eA trainer mat is not an exciting purchase, and it is the one most people skip and then buy three months later anyway. There are three reasons to get it at the same time as the trainer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first is your floor. Indoor training produces a surprising volume of sweat, and it goes straight down. On a wooden floor that means staining and, over time, damage. On carpet it means something worse. The second is vibration. A trainer transmits low-frequency vibration into the floor, and in a flat or a terraced house that is exactly what the neighbours notice — not the sound in the air, but the hum through the structure. A mat between the trainer and the floor makes a real difference to that. The third is stability: a non-slip surface stops the trainer creeping across a smooth floor during a hard effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is sized to fit Wahoo KICKR trainers and smart bikes, so you are not trimming a generic mat to shape or leaving the front wheel hanging off the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho this suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone training on a wooden, laminate or tiled floor, anyone in a flat or with rooms below them, and anyone who has already noticed a damp patch appearing under their trainer. If you are setting up a permanent training space, buy it at the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho can skip it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your trainer lives on bare concrete in a garage and there is nobody below you, the case is weaker — though it still catches sweat and gives you a defined space that stops the trainer wandering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneric gym or yoga mats are thinner and usually too small, and they tend to bunch up under the trainer feet. A purpose-made trainer mat is thicker where it needs to be and sized for the footprint.

It is sized around KICKR trainers and smart bikes, but the footprint suits most direct drive trainers. Wheel-on trainers with a longer setup may overhang slightly at the rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it actually stop my neighbours hearing me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will noticeably reduce the vibration travelling through the floor, which is usually the part people below complain about. It will not silence drivetrain noise in the air — that is a trainer choice, covered in our \u003ca href=\"\/resources\/quietest-smart-trainers-flats-apartments-uk\"\u003equietest trainers guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it on carpet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and it is worth it — carpet holds sweat and is much harder to clean than a mat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe it down with a damp cloth after sweaty sessions.
