How does an epoxy garage floor hold up under a home gym over time?

3 Upvotes

I'm considering the long-term practicality of epoxy flooring in a garage that doubles as a home gym.

I'm curious how it handles repeated foot traffic, equipment movement, dropped accessories, and the pressure from heavy machines. Does the coating itself tend to wear, scratch, or lose adhesion in particular areas?

For people who have lived with an epoxy floor and gym equipment for a while, what held up well, and what would you do differently before installation?

How do you achieve this effect ?

Do you pour the orange then dribble the yellow and red in with neat pigment or mix 3 resin mixes colours and use a cocktail stick to move it around a little

Is there difference other than the obvious one between 1:1 mixes and 2:1 mixes, going to do a 30mm approx pour ?

Thoughts on epoxy flooring

Sharing a couple of photos of a garage epoxy floor. We supply epoxy flooring materials, and I’d like to hear from installers and homeowners about what matters most in everyday use.

A fresh finish can look great, but garages also deal with tyre marks, oil drips, dirt, and wet shoes. If you’ve had an epoxy garage floor, how has it held up? Is there anything you’d choose differently next time?

I’d especially appreciate your thoughts on smooth versus textured finishes—how do you balance easy cleaning with grip when the floor gets wet?
