Our History
Fitness Flooring was born from a company which started over 50 years ago that specialized in constructing Challenger racquetball courts. Over time, the company’s reputation for building the best courts in the industry made it the largest racquetball court construction company in the country. Part of what lead to this renown was the high quality flooring that was utilized as a playing surface. In the 1980s as racquetball’s popularity began to wane, a new activity was taking over health clubs – aerobics – and a suitable sports floor was needed for its unique demands. Taking the existing flooring that we had used in racquetball courts, and adding a thick foam layer that absorbed the impact from participants repeatedly landing on the floor, we installed the first Exerflex floor at Sante West in Northern California in 1982.
Throughout the ’80’s and into the ’90’s the company was instrumental in fostering the aerobics movement and creating the Exerflex brand. Exerflex was installed in a number of high profile research labs, including Dr. Kenneth Cooper’s Clinic, and the Human Performance Labs at San Diego State University, where the first research on aerobic exercise was being conducted by Dr. Peter Francis. Additionally, Exerflex appeared as the official floor of the Crystal Light Aerobics Championships, Joannie Greggins’ syndicated Morning Stretch aerobics television show, and in countless aerobics videos.
Since then, the company which was born from the Exerflex brand, Fitness Flooring, has continued to be actively involved in not only group exercise, but also building its product base of quality flooring for all fitness applications.
We have developed a number of flooring innovations – either specifically manufactured for us, or in partnership with manufacturers that we have partnered with to develop fitness surfaces. Such innovative solutions such as Zenterra bamboo flooring, and the new Exterra flooring technology are some examples of the former, while Duraflex and Flecks are examples of great manufacturing partnerships.
We continue to innovate and look for quality manufacturers to partner with in our constant search for superior products that meet the needs of our industry. We also work with Exercise Scientists to ensure that any new surface that we take in under our umbrella is a safe and effective surface for sports performance.
