If the mat is on top of wall-to-wall carpet, will it move around or stay in place when you exercise on it?

It will move around and can bunch up a little. I'd recommend getting some double-sided carpet tape to hold it in place. So far though, I've only put the tape on the piece of matting I have under my treadmill, but that is working out great.

Not at all. I have tile flooring so it doesn't move or leave marks if I was to take it down, I'm unsure about carpet

I had it on a carpet at first, and while rowing it would slowly scoot across the floor and into the wall! So I now use it on a hardwood floor myself, and it stays put.

Yes and no. depends on how well the carpet was installed. I have my unit on a carpet, first spot I put it on caused it to have a bad tilt and was a little wobbly if you bumped it but I have since moved it to a better spot and it fits snug with the wall and does move at all.

I use a mat, not the Concept one but the puzzle piece kind, so I'm not 100% sure it that would be fine. My guess would be that it would be, however my only concern would be the sweat... 30min/day is going to produce a lot of sweat, are you going to be ok with it falling on your carpet?

My mat slides a little, but the chair still stays on it and it doesn't go far, so have not worried about it. Maybe double sided tape in corners?

No doubt it. My mat sits on a VERY slick laminate (looks like wood) floor and it hasn't moved an inch.

underside has rough surface so mat does NOT move around in my trunk. The rough surface grips onto the carpeted trunk surface perfectly to prevent moving around.

I placed part of the mat under two feet of my desk and have not had a problem. (The desk's feet hold the mat in place.)

I think it would stay in place without a probelm. The surface of the board is a hard plastic (could be slippery) and it has a seam in the middle where the two pieces join. I am not sure if that would cause a problem for ballet. With a yoga mat on top I never notice the seam.

This mat will stay put on carpeting, there is a strip of velcro. Place velcro side down, plus it is a heavy mat gym quality.

It would be very diffcult to move. Carpet would be bad, very small wheels. Hardwood or tile would be a little better, but not much. You cannot use the slider to move from side to side, it will bend to pin that holds it in place. All that said, it is great exercise machine if left in one place. I use it every day.

I don't know if I understand your question. I purchased a gym mat and placed the treadmill on top of it. I have an impression that I could just have placed the treadmill directly on my carpet and that it would work fine. Please elaborate further if you'd like more help.

It will absolutely stay in place. I love mine!!! It moves only when I deliberately move it.

I use it on carpet. From reviews I read before I purchased the treadmill, the carpet probably keeps it from moving during use. I also read it is fine on carpet as long as it isn't a deep pile, my carpet is not real thick. It works fine. Still easy to fold up and roll over to the corner when not in use.

I use mine on carpet also & it does not slip. Get ready for a great workout!

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.
