Test result preview
MONZANA® Fitness floor protection mats are a versatile solution for protecting floors in fitness rooms, under equipment or during sporting activities. With their robust workmanship and non-slip surface, they offer a stable and safe surface for a wide range of applications. The easy handling thanks to the practical puzzle system and the water-repellent texture, which makes cleaning effortless, are particularly noteworthy. One disadvantage, however, is that the edge pieces have to be cut by hand if the surface to be laid out has special requirements. Overall, however, this product is a practical choice for fitness enthusiasts who value a protected and comfortable training area. The availability in different sizes and colours also ensures greater customer satisfaction.
Advantages
- Optimum protection
- Expandable and the option to cut the mats to size
- Sound attenuation
- Non-slip
- Various colours and sizes
Disadvantages
- Edge parts may need to be adapted

A particularly positive aspect is that the product is intuitive and self-explanatory – no instructions for use are required. To summarise, the first contact with the product leaves a thoroughly positive impression: high-quality workmanship, complete scope of delivery and well thought-out packaging without unnecessary waste.

The MONZANA® Fitness floor protection mats impress with their simple but attractive design, which integrates perfectly into fitness rooms. The workmanship is excellent – all edges are cleanly cut and the mats feel stable and of high quality. The resilience of the material is particularly impressive: the mat quickly returns to its original shape after being stressed.
Although there are no explicit sustainability claims, the use of durable EVA foam indicates a responsible choice of material. For consumers, this is an important feature that reinforces the impression of a well-designed product. Overall, the appearance and workmanship of the mats leave a professional and reliable impression.

The MONZANA® Fitness floor protection mat proved its versatility and reliability in practical tests. The slip resistance is excellent, both on smooth floors such as tiles and on carpets. The mats effectively protect floors from scratches and pressure marks, even when used intensively with heavy equipment.
Installation is extremely simple thanks to the intuitive puzzle system and allows flexible adaptation to a wide range of room sizes. Cleaning is also uncomplicated: A damp cloth and conventional cleaning agents are all that is needed. The odour neutrality of the material was particularly positive – there were no unpleasant chemical odours.
In summary, the practical test confirms that the mats fully fulfil the manufacturer’s advertising promises. They offer a safe, comfortable and easy-care floor covering for fitness rooms and more.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €69.98 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €36.32 . The floor protection mats (36 pieces) from MONZANA® are therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €46.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
