CrossFit Gym Epoxy that survives the room
Barbells dropped from overhead all day. Grind in the morning, coat in the afternoon, walk on it that night.
Survives the drop instead of cracking.
What we actually install
Thick build designed around impact zones.
Before anything is mixed we know what the floor is sitting on. Repeated high impact and sled drag.

Cure
A standard install is one day of work and two days of patience.
What the install actually looks like
We open up the surface and see what we are actually dealing with.
We look at the concrete first and the colour chart second. We turn up with the grinder and the extraction first, and the first hour is dust and noise rather than anything that looks like progress. Thick build designed around impact zones.
Once the slab is open and clean we chase any cracks, fill them, and grind those flat. Then the primer goes down, and from that point the day is a sequence with cure windows in it rather than a job you can rush. The whole system goes down in one visit on most homes.
Four names, one crew. Kevin Garner built the company in 2021 to pass it on. That matters on a crossfit gym epoxy job because the person who decided the spec is the person holding the squeegee, so nothing gets lost between the quote and the floor.
Used a lot of flooring companies over the years on various jobs and lemme tell you you’re in good hands with these guys. From the quote to the finished job they were nothing short of professional.Verified review

The slab decides the spec.
What we find under a crossfit gym epoxy job
Slabs with in-floor heat or embedded conduit change how aggressively we can grind. We locate it first rather than finding it with a diamond.
Salt is the quiet problem on coast jobs. It comes in on tyres, soaks into unsealed concrete, and sits there pushing back out. Grinding removes the loaded surface layer so the new floor is not fighting it from day one.
The system we specify
Clear topcoats are not all clear. Some amber noticeably within a year indoors under LED light. We use ones that do not.
Pigments are not all equally stable. Reds and yellows fade fastest under UV, so exterior work uses pigments chosen for it rather than the same colours we would use in a closed garage.
Specified from the load, not a brochure.
Impact is a different problem from wear
Most floors are specified for abrasion, which is a slow surface problem. A gym floor has to survive impact, which is a sudden structural one. A dropped barbell delivers its whole energy into a few square inches, and a thin rigid coating over concrete will spall at that point no matter how hard the topcoat is.
The answer is build thickness in the drop zones and a topcoat with some flexibility rather than maximum hardness. Under matting the coating still matters, because sweat and cleaning water get under mats and sit there. A sealed non-porous floor under the mats is what stops that becoming a smell you cannot find the source of.
Residential floors are usually a one day job start to finish.
What we specify for training floors
Barbells dropped from overhead all day.
What this floor has to put up with
Repeated high impact and sled drag. Thick build designed around impact zones. That combination is what we specify against, and it is why a crossfit gym epoxy job is quoted from the room rather than from a rate card.
Survives the drop instead of cracking. One day down for most homes. Commercial work is phased to your hours.
Living with the floor afterwards
Snow and road salt tracked in should be rinsed off rather than left to dry. Salt is more aggressive to the concrete than to the coating.
Keep grit off it and a coated floor lasts. Grit under a tyre or a boot is abrasive, and abrasion is the only thing that genuinely wears a good topcoat.

Questions we get asked
How long does a crossfit gym epoxy job take?
Grind in the morning, coat in the afternoon, walk on it that night.
What preparation does crossfit gym epoxy need?
Thick build designed around impact zones. Prep is most of the work and all of the reason coatings last.
Can it take the wear this room gets?
Repeated high impact and sled drag. We specify the build thickness against the actual use, not a standard sheet.
Which areas do you cover?
Yes. We cover south Mississippi, the coast, coastal Alabama and St. Tammany Parish, roughly a hundred miles out from Laurel.
Is it your own crew?
The reason quality holds is that the family name is on every job.
Can I see the colour before deciding?
Yes. We bring the chip deck out and you pick the blend against your own light and your own walls. Colours read differently under LED, under a skylight and under a garage door that is half open, so choosing off a photograph is how people end up disappointed.
What do you find under a floor like this?
Older residential slabs in Jones County often have a soft top layer from being finished too wet. It looks solid and crumbles under a grinder. If we find that, the fix is grinding past it to sound concrete rather than coating over a layer that is already failing.
What maintenance does it need?
Maintenance is a dust mop and occasionally a neutral cleaner. No wax, no sealing, no annual reapplication. If someone tells you a coated floor needs yearly maintenance, they are describing their own product failing.
What am I paying for in the build?
Primers, base, broadcast and topcoat are four separate products that have to be compatible. Mixing brands across layers is how delamination happens.
A quick call tells you more than a website can.
