floor for gym-shed

[Ouch77]

My new shed is needing a suitable floor covering for its intended purpose - exercise bike, treadmill and weights (if there's space). Popular opinion seems to be some form of rubber floor, either in tiles or sheet-roll, which I'd agree appears to be durable, cleanable, nonslip and water resistant.

Does any one have any practical advice or product recommendation? the subfloor is 18mm OSB over suspended 6" timber joists, there'll be another layer of OSB going on top and then the final floor finish -whatever it may be.

I bought these years ago. Still have about 2/3 of one under the treadmill. Very heavy - removal man said it was the hardest thing to move!

at 46kg with the rigidity of a 6' drunkard, I'd say it would be tough to move!

I'm kinda looking for a complete floor solution, rather than just a patch here and there, if you know what I mean.

Could you make a concrete shed base?

nope. Shed is installed. As stated the base is 3x6 and 2x6 timbers on 4ft groundscrews. It ain't going anywhere.
