Epoxy Flooring: Spring Garage Gym Myths, Busted

Garage Floor CoatingEpoxy Flooring

Spring in Tucson means mild mornings and sunny afternoons—the perfect time to open up the garage and take your workouts outdoors. But many homeowners hesitate to use the garage as a fitness space, thinking it’s too rough, too dirty, or just not ready. The truth? You don’t need a full remodel. You just need the right surface underfoot. With our hybrid polyaspartic and epoxy flooring from GarageFloorCoating.com (Tucson), your garage can be a clean, durable, and ready-to-use spring gym.

Myth #1: “I Need a Fully Built-Out Gym to Work Out at Home”

Reality: You just need space, air, and a solid floor.

A few free weights. A yoga mat. Maybe a jump rope or some resistance bands. Spring makes it easy to ditch the crowded gym and get moving in your garage. With the door open and GFC’s hybrid polyaspartic and epoxy flooring, your garage becomes an ideal, open-air training zone—without needing racks, machines, or flooring mats.

Myth #2: “Concrete Is Fine for Garage Workouts”

Reality: Concrete cracks, stains, and collects dust.

Tucson’s dry spring air means more dust—and porous concrete traps every bit of it. GFC’s hybrid polyaspartic and epoxy flooring seals the surface, making cleanup a breeze. It prevents moisture from seeping in (from above and below), wipes clean after sweaty sessions, and stays tough under regular use. Whether you’re stretching or doing circuits, the floor won’t flake, chalk, or deteriorate.

Myth #3: “All Garage Coatings Are Basically the Same”

Reality: “1-day” systems cut corners. GFC’s 2-day installation system goes the distance.

Fast installs rely on fast-curing polyurea or polyaspartic base coats. These coatings are excellent top coats (that’s where we use them), but lousy direct-to-concrete base coats. In the presence of medium to high moisture (yes, the desert has moisture too), these coatings cure even faster. So fast that they fail to deeply penetrate the concrete slab. In addition, they can only be applied thinly. In any climate, the thin, weakly bonded base coat can lead to delamination (as the entire coating system is only as strong as its base coat).

Conversely, GFC’s 2-day installation system uses a high-build, slow-curing, moisture-mitigating epoxy base coat; it acts as a moisture vapor barrier. We save the polyaspartic as the topcoat only. And not just one coat! Two separate 100%-solids clear polyaspartic topcoats, built to handle real wear and tear, season after season.
