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.

I have mine on a carpeted floor with an exercise equipment mat underneath without any stability issues.

Yes the mat will stay in place. I am using it right now on a wood table. I had to wash it first , because it stinks , smells. But after a few days it is not so bad. After a week you can' smell anything. Wash in soapy water and let air dry. Again it does not move on my table . I like the mat. I play games on it with no movement. My mouse slides nicely on it.

I have not yet had any problems with the mat sliding around while using it.

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?

It rolls okay on wooden floor or carpet, but it is a workout in itself. One has to lift the rear of the unit to move it and it is heavy and bulky, but it does move. Moving it each time you use it could get old quickly. I leave it in one spot and only move for cleaning underneath.

The mat has velcro around perimeter that could be used for some traction if the floor was carpeted enough to adhere. Mat would slip across wood floor without something holding it in place. Hope this helps.

I have this mat on a wood floor. It is connected to a second mat. They do not slip. They are heavy. Those using it are 70 a 165. They do dance and gymnastics in it. One mat is not enough to cover what they like to do.

Yes, it does. What I did to minimize the movement was put down the large square rubber mats (looks like a puzzle). On carpet it may not move as much as hard wood floors (which is what I have). It also depends on how hard you hit it. I hit hard so when it moves left, I move behind it and hit it back to where it originally was. I made it a part of my workout since I kick box there is a lot of movement. It definitely is worth getting though, very good quality.

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!

This mat will not move once placed even with nothing on it. Heavy mat. Probably taken care of would last one a life time. We have a weight machine on it and it works perfect. We turned our two (2) car garage into a rec room. The floor is very slick with three (3) coats of paint applied. The mat is perfect. No problems here.

Stays where you put it. I use the mat on a hard wood floor as well and have had no issues.

I have a area rug, it roll fine between the hard wood floors onto the rug and on the rug. I recommend it.

I've never had any issue with mine moving when doing those workouts but I had nearly wall to wall coverage in the room I used.

I have this mat under my stationary bike. The mat is on hardwood flooring. There is not any problem when I pull the mat to re-position the bike even though the mat itself has indentations from the weight of the bike. I am glad I purchased this mat.

Hello Bonnie, the other people answered correctly. It rolls up like a rug and gets quite compact. The only problem I have is that it is a little stiff when rolled up, even more so than an excercise mat. So if you leave it rolled up too long it retains shape for a few days after unfolding.

I'm sure it would befine on carpet, it has a beveled non slip bottom. You'll probably get less jarring on your body, because I have mine on tile, and it makes for a very hord on the body workout. In fact I think it would slip less than mine does if you used it on carpet.
