Leveling floors before placing mats

That's gonna be a lot of concrete. Do you own or rent this space?

Hey, I work for a floor screed and resin contractor and would normally suggest to lay a self smoothing screed topping. The contractor should pin level the floor to make sure that it is as flat and smooth as possible. I have attached a product that we use regularly. Hope this helps

I rent the space, but the landlord doesn't care what I do to fix it. The ideas above are pretty good but I do have some real horrible areas on the left side of the gym that will require some serious fix'n. I'm worried about the expense since we don't have alot of money. The problem with most guys at my gym is they have desire, but don't have any money, so I let people skate a month here or there so they don't have to stop training when they are broke :-)

Those pictures were all I had on my phone last night. I'll get some more detailed ones tonight Clinton. Thnx!

I really don't see the problem with the floor not being level unless you have high spots where some body did a shitty patch job(if so just grind them down) You should be able to just lay down some osb and put your mats down on that it will protect them and they will lay smooth. This would get you buy until you can find a better location rather than sinking a ton of money into a place you are leasing.

That's why I'm leaning toward your idea, $$$. Its really bad in some spots. There are like some little mounds in a couple places, followed buy a three inch drop in the next... It sucks! haha. The Self leveling stuff would work best but I'd have to buy a shit ton of it :-(

Damn right brother! So far no one has taken advantage of me, but we only have about 40 students right now so its easy to know everyone's situation. And the reality is most guys that have the passion and desire to become great at Jiu Jitsu and MMA are guys that don't come from the most prestigious background and don't have the best paying jobs. Bunch of broke ass young men haha

Yes we are..

<and broke ass not so young men.

Sir,

Thanks
