Nice product
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The Danskin name has always been trustworthy and this proves no different.

Nice product, inexpensive and well made.

Very satisfied
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I got the mat to use at my gym for palates classes. I’ve used it now for about a month and I’m very satisfied. It provides enough cushioning to not feel the floor during rolling exercises, but not too much so I still feel stable on it. The smell is almost gone, which I’m very happy about. The carrying stap is a pain sometimes, but it is a convenient way to carry the mat. I like the color and overall very satisfied with the product.

Perfect thickness. Great too for when you just want to lay back after a rigorous routine.

looks nice and comfortable

Got this as a gift. I didn’t actually try it out, but I was pleased that it’s attractive (pleasant blue color with a nice soft matte foam texture, not plastic-y like I had assumed) and looks comfortable (thick padding).

Great mat, just a bit too bright
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I do physical therapy exercises and yoga every day. I need something with the same grip as a yoga mat but a bit more cushion, and this mat fits the bill really nicely. I also have some fondness for my old Danskin ballet gear, so it’s a brand I trust. The mat is well constructed and provides good cushioning for my joints over our hardwood floors, without being too bulky for yoga. It also comes with a handy carrying strap so you can travel with it.

My only complaint? The color is much more “hot pink” than ballet pink. If I’d known that, I would have ordered the blue one.

Fabulous!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Nice and long (I am 5’10″) so it cushions my entire body. Has a lot of cushion but still with grip. Travels well and comes with a travel strap although it is kinda flimsy. I use it with my clients for all types of exercises and it never disappoints:)

Love this mat. Very comfortable and easy to roll up and stow away. Use this for Yoga a few times a week and have never once complained about the confort. Great buy

This is a very nice, thick mat that is far superior to my old yoga mat. It does not have a funny smell, and rolls up neatly in its own carrier.

Courter inch thick rubber foam with smooth underside. The photo is of a black matt, but the matt sent may be a diffrent color. Mine was blue.

Produc t a disappoint
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I was disappointed to find that the exercise mat that arrived at my home was only about 3/8th of an inch thick. I expected something at least 1 and 1/2 inch thick.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to “speak up”.

Cushy Mat
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I really like this mat, it is very cushy and easy to roll and store. The length is just perfect, but the one thing I would change about itis that it could be a little wider.

With hardwood floors, this mat really saves the back! ‘Handle’ is convenient and mat rolls right up for storage.

Great for Yoga too…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Great color, great feel, great value!

I use my pink mat for yoga class, and I’m completely comfortable on the hardwood floors. I totally appreciate the elastic carry strap that was included!

Comporable mats sold at retail stores, go for $50. This one’s SO worth it!

Great Danskin Exercise Mat!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am very pleased with this Danskin Exercise mat. Very thick, rolls up easily and stores nicely with the strap around it. The salmon pink color is nice, not too loud. Great for yoga.

Great fitness mat

I purchased this mat because it is made by Danskin and it did not disappoint. The traction and foam depth is perfect. The length is good. It’s truly a great motivator for my exercises. It makes the effort worthwhile.

I like this mat, it is soft, prevents you from slipping, and is thick enough to allow knee workouts on a hardwood floor. Good choice!

Great mat, but color is off
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This mat is great…..very thick, spongy, durable, etc. The only complaint I have is that it isn’t the shocking hot pink depicted in the photo. It’s more of a salmon color.

This blue on I bought for my husband and I have the pink one. It is a great deal. I shop a lot online and found this to be the best deal especially since I bought 2 and qualified for free shipping. It is nice and thick and stays put.

Great mat!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is my first fitness mat, and I am very pleased! Easy to roll up, easy to unroll. It stays put on my hardwood floors. Not a strong chemical smell. Soft to the touch but not too springy.

I needed a mat that I wouldn’t sink into but that would also support my knees and spine, as I have health problems with both. This mat does the job!

Some would complain about the carrying strap, as it is not attached to the mat. No problem for me, I keep it nearby and since I roll up my mat after each use it is not likely that I will ever forget it at the gym or lose it in my home.

I would recommend this mat or gift it to others.

Great Mat!!

I love the thickness of this mat. It is very cushioned and serves it’s purpose. Unlike other reviewers, I don’t mind rolling it up and slipping the strap on. It is a very nice color. I would definitely recommend!!

Great piece of equipment
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have really enjoyed this exercise mat. It is nice and thick, and one feature that I particularly like is that the carrying straps come off when you unroll the mat–I bought my boyfriend one whose straps don’t come off and it looks annoying. And people are right–the mat is definitely not hot pink, but a deeper color… maybe magenta. I good, basic, agreeable excercise mat.

Find it cheaper
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I love the matt; it is thick and easy to roll up when I am finished. But when I was in wal-mart a few days after I received it, I found what looked to be the exact same one (different brand, sam color, same thickness, even same strap!) for almost $10 cheaper. It was then I realized that my mat did not look like the one shown in the picture on the website. I was a little disappointed. I would purchase the mat again, but only after looking in more places to find the best price.

Thicker mat than most
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I’ve never purchased a fitness mat before so I really didn’t know what to expect. I read the positive reviews for this product and decided to give it a try. When I used it during my fitness class, I looked around the room and realize how thin other mats usually are. This mat is about 3 or 4 times thicker than traditional yoga mats and gives great support and comfort. It’s a great size and easy to tote around because of the strap. Great product!

Great mat, better price elsewhere
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I looked everywhere for the ideal exercise mat, and this is it. I use it for ab crunches, floor routines with weights, and yoga. It’s thick and cushy yet rolls up easily, and the texture of the surface is just “sticky” enough for yoga. I have to say thanks to the reviewer who mentioned getting it at walmart. I did exactly that and saved the $10. It’s the exact same mat, same color, same strap — it just doesn’t have the Danskin logo. Why pay $10 extra for a logo?

Really comfy and good grip, but it’s not hot pink. it’s dark salmon color.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
It’s Danskin, so it’s good quality, but it’s not this color. it’s a darker pink, red-pink. I like that color, so I’m fine with it. But be aware, it’s not hot pink.

Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The mats are wonderful and very usable for our weight path program. The only thing I might change with the product would be what keeps the mat in rolled format. The elastic bands will eventually stretch out. Velcro fasteners may work better. However, you can always fold them.

Perfection
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love this mat. At the risk of sounding like a nursery rhyme, it’s not too thin, and not too soft, it’s just right. Perfect for doing ab routines, any exercise on your knees or wrists. It’s big…but light weight and not too cumbersome to carry around. Plus, I love the pretty pink color. I higly recommend it!

A. Engleson on Mon, 25th Jan 2010 4:37 pm 



Perfect!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I would recommend this mat over any other that I have come across. I bought this and fell in love, if only I had known it also came in pink! It is thick and absorbs shock, my knees don’t hurt at all after a yoga routine. Also, it doesn’t slide around on the floor at all.

Perfect Product
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The mat is indeed thicker than usual fitness or yoga mats and gives you the perfect buffer for your back, hips & shoulders. It is so comfy, I even fell asleep on it once. The lenght allows a person of average height to stretch the arms above the head while having all joints on the mat. The mat rolls up easily and does it’s job in all aspects very well. I would buy it again.

Great Mat
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a great mat. I like it because it’s a few inches longer than other mats I’ve used. It is also very comfortable for working out on hard floors. Excellent padding for crunches, planks, etc..

Good for floor exercises, but be aware this is NOT a yoga mat
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have had a Nike Yoga Mat for years, it was $49.99. Now I wanted a new one, I was glad the price went down to $25.00. Then I read some reviews that the newer model is not nearly as good as the old model. So I decided to try a different brand. I found this Danskin Deluxe Fitness Mat at Scheels. It looked pretty descent. It works great when I do situps, crunches, and push ups, i.e. anything as long as you don’t stand on it. It really sucks as a Yoga mat. Because it is so thick and so soft it is hard to hold your pose. I still give it four stars because it is good for what it is meant for. Just be aware that this is not a Yoga Mat.

Great Mat!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love this mat. It allows me to exercise without slipping and gives just the right support. Any thicker and it would be to cushy for certain positions, any thinner and it wouldnt give the right support on the hardwood floor. Lays out nice and flat and rolls up nice and smooth. I even like the strap it comes with that holds it all together. Sometimes I lay a towel on it and roll that up too, so I don’t have to carry anything extra when I take a class outside my home. It works great. I would reccomend it.

Awesome Pilates Mat
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve been using this as a Pilates mat for almost two years now and I’ll never go back to using anything else. An absolute must have if you like to do floor exercises at home but have nothing but hard wood floors (even carpted floors aren’t that great). Just the right amount of cushion and support for your back and your spine, but not so much that you feel like you’re working out ‘in bed’. I find it helpful to roll a grippy yoga mat over top during my workouts since this prevents the mat from ‘stretching out beneath you’ while transitioning between various positions. My mat has not lost it’s shape or form and while it does roll up fairly thick, the travel strap makes transportation super easy. Love it.

I love thismat!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a great mat. It is thicker and more cushy than a typical yoga mat, which makes it great for using outside or on a hard surface. It has held up well–for nearly a year I have used it 4-5 times per week and it still looks new. And, I even bought one for a friend as a gift!

Looked on ebay and other sites. This was the best price especially with free shipping. Nice and thick. New to yoga and really like this mat. Stays put. Like the carrying strap. Bought a blue one for my husband too.

Great mat, just as described. The carrying straps are easy to use and work well. My kids like the length because all three of us can lay on it and do sit ups at the same time!

I’ve seen better
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
The mat is okay, but I’ve seen better ones out there. I wish I knew before I bought it that it does not have velcro straps to hold the mat closed….instead it has this loose piece that you’re supposed to carry around to put on the mat after you roll it up to keep it closed. That’s a pain.

The mat is just thick enough to support bad knees. Beautiful color and no “plastic” or strange smell from it, as in other mat purchases I have made. Very happy with.

Danskin Deluxe Fitness Mat
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This mat is great for the back and the knees — I had a yoga mat that I was using for my body strength class. Since we are exercising on marble floors, it makes it very difficult to be on the floor without proper padding. This Danskin Deluxe Fitness mat is just what I needed — it is cushy enough to be able to do the exercises without any pain!
