Does anyone have any suggestions on where might be the best place to get cheap/affordable rubber foam floor tiles for a home gym I am going to make in my unfinished basement. Thanks in advance!

    A toy store or camping store. We got ours from aldi during a camping sale.

    There might be too much give to foam rubber. I would recommend the harder rubber flooring that you'd find under commercial gym equipment.

    Just don't buy it at a fitness supply store. It can be much cheaper at a farm supply store. Farmers use it to pad horse stables. Same thing, better price.

    I bought all of mine from Amazon.ca.

    Look for them on your local Amazon. I'm not sure they're the best price, but they were less expensive than others I was finding online at the time. I think I ended up buying 3 sets. Goes under the rack and extends out so I can do deadlifts and such on them still.

    Oooh they're $6 off right now... too bad for me lol.

    I second @dandur ........look at farm supply stores. Mats for horse stalls.
