Kids’ gym programs (ninja warriors, tumbling, kids BJJ) need brighter colors than adult academies, slightly thicker foam for falls, and antimicrobial vinyl that stands up to constant kid use. ATX Mats builds custom kids’ gym floors.
Kids-Specific Specs
- Foam: 1.625″–2″ thicker for fall absorption.
- Surface: smooth wipeable vinyl (kids spill, sweat, occasionally throw up).
- Antimicrobial topcoat: phthalate-free, bleach-tolerant.
- Color: bright primary palette — yellow, red, blue, green, orange.
Why Bright Colors
Bright colors help kids focus on stations, mark zones, and provide visual energy. Most-popular layouts: rainbow rotation (4 colors quartered) or paired primary (red + yellow + blue + green).
Common Setups
- Toddler tumbling: 1,000–1,500 sq ft thick padding
- Kids BJJ: 2,000+ sq ft tatami with bright accents
- Ninja warrior: thick rolls + landing pads
