I do ballet, and need a floor to do bar exercises in my room, which is carpeted. Will this stay in one place if I am moving?

Yes, absolutely. I use the board to ballet and barre workouts. It stays put just fine. It's great!

I think so. I was able to do a very active yoga practice on it and it stayed in place.

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

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.

In general yes if you put it on most carpets or rugs. However, if you use it with a small portable ballet barre, it requires precise maneuvering to for exact placement.

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

It will not slide well on carpet. But a chair mat as you mentioned should do well. It is a very good chair.

Even empty on a laminate floor it stays put except when I want to move it around. It does slide but not very easily.

If it's on carpet I think it'd be a sturdy substitute to a hardwood dance floor. There are little grooves where the boards snap together that make the board not so flat.

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

Should workout OK over plastic on a carpet. But, you may have to take off the wheels so the table does not slide all over the place! I have mine a tile floor and that is what I did . The table works great with or without the wheels! Also, I do not understand the comment made about the need for glue by Christopher V.-The top on my table is on with very strong screws that have not moved a hair in over a year?? I assume we are talking about the same table? The picture looks the same as the one I got from Amazon?

I have not used it on my floors. I would think it'd be hard to keep in place, it also might be slippery to walk on. One side is ribbed, but the other is quite smooth. I used a plastic carpet runner on my floors when my carpet was new. The "spikes" on the back side made my carpet look funny when it was removed. I wish I had never used it. The marks are still there in the hall.

It doesn't do it if it's on a hardwood floor surface too much, IF at all. But, if you were to put it on top of a rug, or other type of woven textile, or fabric surface, I def. think it WILL bunch-up, or move around. Otherwise, it is a decent sticky mat, like most others out there on the market. One note IT is a little thin, so I use TWO, one layered on top the other for extra weight and cushioning. Best regards. Hope that helps.

I use mine on a carpeted floor. However, I do have the plastic mat between the rower and the carpet. This is fine. Have had no problems. Think you'll be impressed with how solid and stable it is. Good luck!!

Yes! I have this on carpet in my apartment. I recommend putting it in an area in your house that is not high traffic, as it's lightweight and could potentially fall over.

Yes; this unit is on castors and should not be a problem for anyone to move around. However, extra care should be taken when rolling on thick carpeting or over the threshold of a doorway.

The mat stays good on a hard floor, like in a gym. Have not tried on hardwood. The mat gets slippy when you sweat during the excercise. I like the size, but it could have more grip on its surface.

Yes, I have wooden floors also. It will stay in place while you exercise. I have an area where I exercise and the mat stays down until I pick it up, no slipping.

I suppose it would depend on your carpet, but I feel secure when I use it on carpet, and that is how I am most comfortable using it indoors. On hard floor, I try to put it where the floor meets a wall. It might be fine on a regular hard floor, but I can't afford to find out the hard way if it slips!

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 , I use the stability mats even on a carpeted floor. The mats offer more than just stability , they also offer padding for the Total Gym.
