Flooring is the most overlooked decision in the entire project:

Buying on price alone almost always costs more later:

Early involvement changes outcomes:

Lower-tier equipment breaks down faster, creates service headaches, and gets replaced sooner, wiping out any upfront savings.

Projects that bring in a fitness design consultant before architectural plans are finalized avoid costly rework on doors, ceiling heights, electrical, and flooring.

It affects safety, sound, cleaning, equipment longevity, and how the whole room feels, and it's often treated as a second thought.
