Functional training requires flooring that can handle repeated movement, sled pushes, dragging exercises and high-intensity workouts. Sledge Grass is designed specifically for training areas where conventional gym flooring may not provide the ideal surface for sled-based exercises.

In UAE gyms, CrossFit facilities, fitness studios and athletic training centers, Sledge Grass can be used to create dedicated lanes for sled pushes, sled pulls, functional circuits and conditioning exercises.

What Is Sledge Grass?

Sledge Grass is a specialised synthetic turf flooring designed for functional fitness applications. Unlike decorative artificial grass, it is selected for training activities that involve pulling, pushing and dragging equipment across the surface.

Depending on the product construction, Sledge Grass can include a durable backing system designed to provide stability during repeated workouts.

Why Use Sledge Grass for Functional Training?

1. Designed for Sled Training

The surface provides a dedicated lane for sled pushes and pulls, helping athletes perform these exercises without damaging conventional indoor flooring.

2. Suitable for High-Intensity Workouts

Functional training involves repeated movements, equipment dragging and fast-paced circuits. A purpose-designed training turf can support these activities in dedicated workout zones.

3. Creates a Dedicated Training Zone

Sledge Grass can visually separate functional training areas from weightlifting, cardio and group exercise spaces.

4. Supports Multiple Exercises

It can be used for more than sled work, including:

• Sled pushes and pulls
• Resistance training
• Shuttle runs
• Agility drills
• Functional circuits
• Conditioning exercises
• Tire-dragging workouts
• Athletic training

5. Easy to Combine With Other Gym Flooring

Sledge Grass does not have to cover the entire gym. It can be installed alongside rubber flooring, MMA mats, EVA mats or PVC flooring, with each surface used according to the workout area.

Sledge Grass Applications in UAE

Sledge Grass can be considered for several fitness environments:

Commercial Gyms: Create dedicated functional training and sled lanes.

CrossFit Facilities: Suitable for sled pushes, conditioning circuits and strength-based workouts.

Personal Training Studios: Provides a dedicated surface for trainer-led functional exercises.

Sports Training Centers: Useful for conditioning and agility-focused training.

Hotel & Residential Gyms: Can be incorporated into larger fitness areas where functional training is offered.

Sledge Grass Cost in UAE

The final Sledge Grass price in UAE depends on several factors rather than one fixed rate.

Important pricing factors include:

• Turf quality
• Product thickness
• Backing construction
• Total installation area
• Subfloor preparation
• Installation method
• Project location
• Quantity ordered
• Accessories and finishing requirements

The old Fab Floorings page listed indicative 2025 material ranges of AED 60–160 per m², depending on the product grade, with installation listed separately. For the new website, I recommend not presenting those figures as a current fixed price; instead, encourage users to request a project-specific quotation.

How to Get an Accurate Sledge Grass Price

For an accurate quotation, provide:

1. Total area in square metres
2. Indoor or outdoor application
3. Intended workout type
4. Required turf specification
5. Existing subfloor condition
6. Installation requirements

This allows the supplier to recommend the appropriate product and calculate the overall project cost.

Sledge Grass vs Rubber Flooring

For a gym with multiple workout zones, combining Sledge Grass with rubber flooring can be more practical than using one flooring type throughout the facility.

Installation of Sledge Grass

Proper installation is important for creating a stable training surface.

The installation process generally involves:

1. Checking and preparing the subfloor
2. Ensuring the surface is clean and level
3. Measuring and cutting the turf
4. Positioning the turf correctly
5. Securing joints and edges
6. Using a suitable installation method for the application
7. Checking the finished surface before use

Large commercial gyms should use professional installation to achieve consistent joints and a stable training surface.

How to Maintain Sledge Grass

Regular maintenance helps keep the training area clean and functional.

• Remove loose dirt and debris regularly.
• Clean spills promptly.
• Follow the manufacturer's cleaning recommendations.
• Inspect seams and edges periodically.
• Avoid unsuitable chemicals or aggressive cleaning methods.
• Keep the surface free from objects that could interfere with sled movement.

Outdoor installations should also be assessed for drainage, exposure and environmental conditions.

Where to Buy Sledge Grass in UAE?

When purchasing Sledge Grass, don't compare suppliers only on price. Check the turf construction, backing, intended application, installation method, available sizes and project support.

For a commercial project, request a quotation based on your required area and application rather than relying on a generic per-square-metre price.
