Side by Side Comparison of: SuperMats vs Marcy

We bought this mat as a base for our at-home spin bike and it's held up fabulously. It's a nice thickness and a solid appearing material. 3 months in and it still looks brand new. Doesn't hurt that it's extremely easy to clean (the texture is minimal enough for cleaning purposes, but definitely enough to be useful)

Funny story, I ordered this mat from my couch in MN. It shipped from the west coast, but the company is actually in town. Small world!Mat is made of quality material, without any kind of weird rubber smell. Thick enough to protect carpet from cardio equipment and doesn't take up an obscene amount of space. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

This is a great mat. The mat is durable, and cleans easily. It's textured, which I wasn't expecting, but actually prefer. The texture helps the equipment stay-put, as well as makes it better when I use it for myself. It works well for an exercise bike, as well as for doing cardio. I also do T25/Insanity using this mat, and highly recommend it for both! It has the right amount of give, without being to soft. Good choice.

Bought this to go under a bike and bike trainer for indoor workouts. The thickness of the mat is perfect, and it even reduces some of the sound the trainer makes. It is easy to clean and also easy to store away if needed.

Great product that's exactly what it says it is. And unlike other PVC mats I've used, there is almost zero smell - and it seems very durable. Another mat I purchased for twice the price (not from amazon) tore almost immediately when I positioned my workout bench on it - and has stankified my workout room with a PVC chemical scent for over a week now. The size of this one was absolutely perfect for my elliptical, as well. Highly recommend it.

The Supermat Heavy Duty is an excellent mat which I use for aerobic exercise, stepping, and to do push ups on, etc. The mat has a nice feel to it, is thick, giving good shock absorption, and is non-slip.This was a great buy for the price. I am glad to have this mat.

Wonderful piece of exercise equipment. It took my husband less than an hour just to put the handle, the seat and the stand on with a tool and screws enclosed. Just need someone to hold it steady to get the stand on. The only downside the seat is hard like any other bike. I got a gel seat and I am using it every day. Besides that it is beautiful to look at. Excellent price for the quality.

I'm 6'0" 285lbs and it holds me just fine. I've used it everyday this week, with no problems. Easy to assemble. Reasonably quite while riding. Sturdy product. While the seat is padded, it is small and somewhat hard. I would recommend this bike for anyone looking to expand their gym.

I can’t rave about Marcy XJ-3220 Club Revolution Cycle bike enough, I love it!!! I’ve taken cycling classes at the gym and was hooked ever since. I’ve had Marcy’s bike now for 7 months and couldn’t be happier with it. There is literally only one thing that I don’t like, which is its narrow hard seat. Not a real problem as you can purchase covers to go over the top to make it more comfortable. This bike has transport wheels located at the bottom for moving. This makes it easier on me as I don’t have to ask my husband for help when I want it moved. With that said, it’s not lightweight or super heavy either. I haven’t had any problems with the bike moving while riding, it's very stable.I’ve placed this bike on both my wood flooring and tile without it leaving any marks/damages to the floors. This is great as it saves me from buying a cycling matt, which is to be place underneath the bike its self.As a mom of three kids whose husband's job requires him to be gone quite a bit I can’t always get to the gym. Not to mention living in a place with harsh winters, it’s just not safe to be traveling out with young children. If you’re looking for a high quality bike that will meet your cardio needs this will be perfect for you.

Solid, very sturdy, excellent resistance max setting my 200 lbs can stand on single peg not move it, little noisy with resistance set high but its minimal noise 5-10 decibals, my flat screen on low audio volume easily covers its noise

It works well, but it starts flaking after a while. So every time I roll it up I have to vacuum because I don't want my toddler stepping on all the black flakes that come off of it.

This mat is a flexible, soft, rubbery like material. My purpose for this mat was to keep my recliner base from cutting into my carpeting. I folded this mat in half and placed it underneath my recliner. It's keeping my recliner base from cutting into the carpeting and the recliner does not slip due to the soft non-slip surface. I like it.

Love it. Just got new hardwood floors and I didn't want the treadmill to move around and scratch the floor. This is the perfect so far. My only suggestion would be to make the mat about a foot longer. The treadmill only barely fits on it......or maybe make it available in different lengths Otherwise, great product!

There's nothing necessarily special about this mat, but it works perfectly for my needs. I bought this to go under my new elliptical machine - it seems to be sturdy enough to help prevent the machine from rocking. Since I put the machine in my living room, I didn't want a giant mat, and this one is just the right size - not a lot of overhanging mat around the edges of the machine. The mat is thick and sturdy and I was a little concerned at first that the edges didn't want to lay flat (it was rolled when shipped) but after laying out on the floor for a few days, it settled down and is now perfectly flat. I really don't have any complaints!

Some reviewers called the material "hard" and "thin". "Thin" was accurate, "hard" is not. They're soft and thin. I suppose if you placed these mats on a cement floor, you might be tempted to call them hard, but I think it'd be more accurate to say "being so thin, they don't provide much cushioning".I didn't buy them for the cushioning. I bought them because they sounded durable (and they seem to be so far), and because they're made out of PVC. The PVC part was important to me because my plan was to glue two of them together using PVC cement (the kind plumbers use). It worked! I glued two together in the sort of "T" shape required for my Bowflex Blaze. I'm happy with the result.

I chose this mat for my indoor Kinetic Road Machine indoor trainer mostly because it didn't cost $65 plus. The mat does exactly what it should... it keeps my trainer in place and protects most of my floor. The mat isn't quite as wide as I would like but the rubber feet of the trainer are the only parts that extend off of the mat. Also, there are puncture marks on the mat from where I stepped on it with my cycling cleats but that was my own fault. Definitely an affordable piece of training equipment!

Great stationary nick for the price. The only issue I have is with how noisy the tension pad is when in use. It becomes quite loud.

The bike is awesome, you will probably want to replace the seat.

I received the bike yesterday.. It is very solid & smooth . A very nice piece of equipment. 1 problem, my right pedal clip came snapped in half.

Great bike, other than my handle bar wasn't welded on straight.

Well made, heavy and seems very sturdy. For the short time we have had it, we are happy with this bike. Cons would have to be the seat. Also I am short and I can not quite get the seat and handle bars comfortable for my stature.

So far it works well, but the seat is EXTREMELY uncomfortable. If you do buy this, be ready to buy another seat or cover.

ok

I'm giving this product 3 stars because for something that's calling itself "heavy duty" it's very thin and can be easily ripped and/or broken.

It protects my floor from the exercise equipment. No complaints.

Quality varies between sizes. This mat is not as dense or smooth as the larger size I had ordered about a year ago. Overall, will get the job done.

Would be better if we had a hard floor surface instead of thick carpeting. Otherwise they are very good for what they are.

While this seemed to be a sturdy mat, and maybe it is, for weight lifting and yoga. But if you are planning to do cross training and Cardio then the mat will scrape and leave a lot of small black dots. It wears out fast. The mat also moves if you are doing a lot of cardio and fast movements exercises. I still use it but looking for something more fit for heavy cardio workouts.

It was very easy to put together and like mostly everyone else the seat is a terrible fit. I would've preferred a bike that at least you could get some info on calories/ speed/ distance, was that too much to ask for. I really thought it came with it, if not wouldn't have bought it.

I had to buy a better seat..

great

so far so good. Unfortunately, I have not found pedal clips for my cycling shoes. :(

Pros:The flywheel seems to be mostly balanced.Easy to assembleCheap price for what you get.Handle bars and seat are strongLevel adjustments where the bike meets the floorCons:The rear bar that sits on the round was off because it's mounting area on the frame was off (see pictures). I was able to fix this by beating it with a hammer.The foot pedals are small and I don't have very large feet. (I have other pedals that I will put on it)Occasional clicking/thumping noise/vibration while riding. (I haven't been able to narrow this one down yet)Overall not bad for the price but I would stay away if you aren't the handyman type.

It's working so far. I read the reviews from others for this product after I purchased it... Apparently the connection between the paddle and bike is not strong enough. Amazon gave me 20% money back for this problem.

I would have left 5 stars....I ordered three of these, all the same size. I really need three IDENTICAL mats. Two of them were the size I ordered...one was WAY smaller. I actually need a total of 9 mats, but ordered three bc they were needed immediately and I wanted to see the quality. I still need six more mats, but I won't plan to order from Supermats again since they sent me one really small mat. I would have rather just had the two and not paid for the third mat (same price) that was so small. I had to make it work anyway, but I'm really unhappy they charged me for 3 mats of the correct size but sent one itty bitty one.

not stiff enough to distribute bike foot force very much at all. Quite spongy feeling; in fact.

The mat provides good cushion but the PVC smell is overwhelming. Aired it out for a few days, but the smell still lingers.

Thinner than expected and has a bad smell. Hoping it dissipates or I will have to return it.

Very bad product. It says it's sturdy. But the built quality was like a cheap kitchen mat we get from WalMart. Waste of money.

This mat looked good at first, but after about 2 weeks it developed a 3 inch long tear at one edge. It's very soft and not very tough. Two of the corners have been chewed off by a curious cat, who now leaves it alone. She left little black plastic "pebbles" all around the mat from her chewing. I wouldn't recommend this because it's so easily ripped. It was also nearly impossible for me to move the exercise bike once I had it on the mat. The mat seemed to hug the bike, which makes it hard to clean around if you want to move something.

The bike is seems extremely well built and was a snap to put together. However the problem is in the riding position. I failed to notice the height of the handlebars relative to the seat. To use this bike you must be in the racing position which I overlooked. If you are looking for a bike upon which you can pedal and work up a sweat keep in mind that you must be bent over in a riding position I gave up many years ago when I bought my first mountain bike and eventually sold my road bike. Also, I am not quite 6 foot and this bike does not allow for full extension of my legs which I have never thought of as being especially long.

Owned for 4 months and the chain is grinding and the bike has a vary loud and annoying click/pop noise with every revolution of the right peddle.

There was a part missing. My husband had to improvise a piece to solve the problem, but it seems unfair and inappropriate for an Item like that to arrive incomplete.

I've had this bike 2 weeks and ridden fewer than 5 times. Last night the pedal came off mid-stroke! Very dangerous. There is clearly something wrong with the threading (and now my knee). Can you replace the pedal and arm?

Nice for the price, and well-built for most, but within a few weeks, my GiantIrishHorseLegs (TM) had rendered the friction bit a charred, torn, smoking ruin, and the rest quickly became of no use. Unless the company wants to sponsor me with a replacement every other week, I'll be back to a magnetic trainer.

saddle is too hard to sit down. and is too painful.i sent twice to the email address on the warranty paper inside package, but nobody response at all to complain.somehow i'll be greatly appreciated to change this fluffy and thick saddle.i'll pay the difference if you'll charge that it were more expensive.thank you.i'll say one more time, too sore to sit.

Mat ripped on the corner when being picked up after owning it only 2 months.Not sure if it's heavy duty material.

This is definitely not worth the money. I bought this product exactly 3 months and 7days ago and it is already breaking apart. I use it only for working out. One type of workout I use it for consists on putting my bike roller on it and start biking (see pictures). When I use it like this, the bike roller does not move - it is a static workout. So there is not a extreme stress or strain on the mat by the roller. Another way I use it is to do abs in which case, I simply lay it on the ground and I lay on top of it and do the abs workouts. These are literally the only two ways I use this mat. So to be advertised as a heavy Duty product is unfair with the buyers. I have never gotten it soaking wet, only a few dozens drops of sweat sometimes but never more than that. It is not like I bought it to use it in the kitchen of a restaurant where the actual heavy duty mats are exposed to all types of materials (water, oil, grease, etc) and strains.Therefore, I decided to take the time to write a solid review and let people know that this is not a product worth buying from this company. You will be wasting your money. I do not know what company to recommend for this types of products because this is the first time I buy something like this. If you appreciate my review and know of a good company to buy mats from, I would appreciate if you post it here. Thanks in advance.

Comes apart in small pieces from the edges but great cushion.

Not sure none of my equipment leaves mark SC on floors, but a pain to return..

Ours had a chunk out if the corner... the material was pretty thin and not very strong. Reminded me of a yoga mat.

We have one of those Tony Little gazelles and less than a month of 30 minute sessions, there was a hole in it. We are just glad we noticed before it ruined our hardwood floors.

Loud clunking noise almost from the beginning.

It is noisy. The resistance bar is manual, not pleasant to use as regular cycle in a gym. Not recommended.

I am so disappointed in this bike! It showed up two days later than expected (even though I paid for prime) and I brushed it off because I was stoked to own my own bike. It arrived in a REALLY beat up box. The plastic ties around it had cut into the box itself and was wedge between the pieces of the bike (first red flag). It was easy to put together and took me about 30mins following the instructions STEP BY STEP, then I was ready to ride.I got all situated and started my ride, it was smooth and the resistance was awesome... until ONLY 8 MINS into it the bike pedal stripped out and I found myself face first in the handle bars. I was livid and called the number on the bottom of the bike and the representative said it was a manufacture error and that she would get a replacement pedal and leg sent my way with a tool to remove the leg.Welp the replacement parts arrived and guess what? NO TOOL. So I went down to the hardware store and spent $40 on a crank wrench to remove the nut holding on the leg. After 2hrs of trying to get the nut off it finally came off but the leg wouldn't budge! I never knew that I'd be spending more time working on this bike then riding it!! Long story short this is absolutely NOT worth your money!!!! BUY A SUNNY!

Less than 6 months old and it is broken the pedal fell off and since it was machined wrong the threads on the crank disintegrated.so I cannot screw the pedal back in I own a useless piece of junk

I received it in great shape, put it together... except for the saddle. The hardware was broken. It took me almost four months to get a new saddle and hardware, which I just received today. I thought, Great! I can FINALLY use this! But, the saddle is so loose on the seat post I can't ride it. I mean, it's 100% loose and moves around almost 180 degrees, It doesn't matter how tight I make the nuts. I am extremely disappointed, and have something that cost me $300 that I've had for months I can neither use nor sell.

Very disappointed and dissatisfied. The bike doesn't work properly. I want to return it.
