GYM & FUNCTIONAL TRAINING TURF
Custom 16mm short-pile turf for repeated sled push, sled pull and hybrid fitness training in commercial gyms, training centers and event projects.
BUILT FOR SLED WORK
Not every artificial turf is suitable for sled training. Loaded sleds create continuous compression, friction and horizontal pulling forces along the same working path. A suitable sled push turf must balance wear resistance, consistent resistance, stable footing and secure floor fixation.
That is why we use short-pile PE KDK curled yarn and purpose-selected backing instead of conventional landscape artificial grass.

Stitch density alone does not determine whether a sled feels easier or harder to push. Resistance can also be affected by:
For important gym or event projects, we recommend testing the selected turf with the intended sled model whenever possible.
HYROX TURF LENGTH & DIMENSIONS
The correct turf length depends on the working lane, end zones, start and finish areas, logos and available floor space. The following are commonly requested layouts, not mandatory sizes.
A compact training lane centered on the 12.5m working distance.
Adds space for start and finish areas or branded end sections.
A longer and wider layout with expanded end zones for larger logos and branding, with fewer seams for a cleaner installation.
Send your available floor dimensions and preferred layout. We will suggest a practical lane size.
HYROX TURF PRICE & ORDERING
Custom HYROX training turf does not have one fixed price. The final quote depends on the selected construction, project layout and shipping requirements.
BACKING OPTIONS
Density and backing are separate decisions. Both GYMXM-16 and GYMXH-16 can be supplied with a backing option selected for the installation method.
The standard choice for long-term fixed installation in gyms and training facilities.
Developed for event projects that need to be installed, removed, rolled and reused.
CUSTOM SLED TURF
From simple training lanes to fully branded HYROX-style layouts, all lines, markings, numbers and logos can be tufted directly into the turf during production. They are not painted, printed or glued onto the finished surface.
Center lines, side boundaries, start and finish markings, working sections and branded end zones.
1m to 20m distance numbers, arrows, lane numbers, training zones, rep markers, custom text and burpee broad-jump grids.
Gym logos, club names, event branding, sponsor graphics, motivational text and large center-lane artwork.
Plain solid-color turf or a simple line track for flexible layouts, shorter production time and easier future changes.
MANUFACTURING OPTIONS
Long lanes with branded end zones can be manufactured in different ways. We recommend the method according to design complexity, quantity, alignment requirements, installation plan and budget.
The center sled lane and both end zones are tufted as one continuous finished roll.
Long custom graphics require a practical manufacturing tolerance and careful layout planning.
End Zone + Main Sled Lane + End Zone are manufactured separately.
INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
A stable subfloor, accurate layout and suitable fixing method all contribute to a flat, secure and professional sled turf installation. Prepare and check the complete turf layout before selecting the final installation method.
Uneven areas underneath the turf may become more noticeable when a loaded sled passes over them and may affect the finished appearance and long-term performance of the installation.
Lay the turf flat for 24–48 hours before installation so the roll can fully open and settle. Do not begin permanent bonding until the complete layout has been checked and approved.
For temporary fitness events or short-term installations, high-strength double-sided turf tape can be considered when the existing floor and selected backing are suitable.
The complete lane should remain flat, aligned and securely fixed throughout sled use.
For commercial gyms and permanent training facilities, full-surface adhesive installation is normally the more stable solution.
Confirm adhesive compatibility and follow the adhesive manufacturer’s quantity, working-time and curing instructions. Keep edges, center areas and joints flat; allow about 48 hours before sled training unless a different curing period is specified.
For projects using multiple turf sections or several adjacent lanes, confirm the full venue layout before production and installation.
Planning all lanes as one project helps maintain consistent alignment and visual continuity.

WHY GRACE GRASS PRO
Grace Grass has been developing and producing gym turf since 2016. Our product development has evolved through real customer feedback, installation problems and higher-frequency sled-training requirements.
Our gym turf yarn construction progressed from slit-film yarn to mixed PP/PE air-textured curled yarn and then to wear-focused PE KDK curled yarn.
The smoother temporary-use backing was developed to address coating damage, pulled fibers, wrinkles and deformation caused by repeated tape installation and removal.
One-piece and modular production options help balance appearance, graphic control, future logo replacement, installation and project budget.
We pay attention to yarn structure, stitch density, pile height, backing stability, dimensional control, graphic placement, batch consistency and packing sequence.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find answers to common questions about our HYROX training turf, including specifications, customization, installation and more.
HYROX turf generally refers to short-pile performance turf used for sled push, sled pull and functional fitness training. A suitable surface should provide consistent sled resistance, wear resistance, stable footing and secure floor fixation.
No. Grace Grass Pro is an independent artificial turf manufacturer. We supply turf suitable for HYROX training and hybrid fitness projects, but we are not affiliated with, endorsed by or an official supplier of HYROX.
Not necessarily. For race-specific training, the 50m sled station is completed as four 12.5m lengths. A 12.5m working lane is therefore relevant, while the finished turf can be longer when end zones, start/finish areas or branding are added. Confirm the current event rulebook before finalizing a race-specific layout.
Choose 63,000 stitches/m² for regular commercial training and a strong balance between performance and cost. Choose 80,000 stitches/m² when training frequency and wear resistance are higher priorities. Neither density is an official HYROX requirement.
Yes. We can customize the lane length, end zones, lines, numbers, colors, logos and other training markings. Complex graphics are reviewed for size, spacing, yarn availability and tufting practicality before production.
No. Custom lines, numbers and logos are tufted directly into the turf during manufacturing. They are not painted, printed or glued onto the finished surface.
For standard colors and normal custom production, orders can start from one roll. Special yarn colors require a separate MOQ review.
Yes. A 20 × 30cm free sample can be provided. A 1 × 1m or larger custom sample can also be produced at additional cost.
No. GYMXM-16 and GYMXH-16 are short-pile, infill-free gym and sled turf products.
Use standard SBR backing for permanent glue-down installation in gyms and training facilities. Choose the smoother temporary-use backing when the turf needs to be taped, removed, rolled and reused for event projects. Both backing options can be considered for either density.
Yes, when the rubber floor remains level and dimensionally stable. The final surface must stay flat and secure, and adhesive compatibility should be checked before permanent bonding.
Yes. Sled base design, base material, contact area, total load, installation and turf condition can all influence resistance and wear. For important projects, testing with the intended sled model is recommended.
Depending on the selected specification, available documents may include EN 13501-1 fire classification, REACH SVHC testing, DIN 51130 slip-resistance results and relevant CE-related information. Confirm report scope and model coverage before ordering.
A 5-year UV warranty is available under normal conditions, subject to the written warranty terms for the order. This is not a fixed sled-wear-life guarantee. Actual service life depends on training frequency, sled load, sled-base condition, installation and maintenance. Customer feedback indicates that very high-intensity use may require earlier replacement, while regular gym or home use can last longer.
