Get ready to bounce into excitement! A spring floor is a must-have in professional gymnastics facilities, including the prestigious Olympic stadium—and we aim for nothing less for our athletes! In this post, we’ll dive into the purpose, construction, and amazing benefits of a spring floor for JLeagues gymnastics and our other exciting programs.

Spring floors provide that extra bounce gymnasts crave during their floor routines, and just as importantly, they offer fantastic impact absorption to protect athletes' joints. They're not just perfect for gymnasts; they deliver the same incredible shock absorption when practicing parkour, stunts, yoga, and other dynamic body exercises. Let's explore the world of spring floors together!

Installing the bottom layer of our spring floor

Spring floors are an incredible feat of engineering, crafted with multiple layers to deliver the ultimate performance!

• Base—This layer is built with robust plywood and a spring that provides amazing bounce and rebound!

• Intermediate—The middle layer features high-density foam to expertly absorb impact and soften those landings!

• Top—This layer is all about enhancing performance and aesthetics. Our floor sports a vibrant purple carpet that gives athletes superior grip during practice!

The spring floor is meticulously designed to offer our JLeagues athletes a consistent and controlled bounce, boosting their height and power in flips and rolls, while also protecting their joints. Spanning 20x30 feet, our floor is expansive, and we can't wait for our athletes to start using it!
