I have Berber carpet and I put cheerleading mat over it. It has a bit of give,it's Velcro together and does not move.
I use my old puzzle mats for equipment.

Beth~I would have gotten the orange peel instead of the goosebumps but I didn't know it existed.

Pardon my stupid question, but is that your exercise room, or just a picture showing the example of the mat? What a great space!

Even I like that option.

This may seem like a silly suggestion, but are you OK working out on carpet? Have you thought about putting an area rug over the carpet? We've done this in a couple rooms to protect the carpet from our dogs; no issues with sliding around (you usually won't even need a rug pad), and the carpet underneath is good as new. (The only downside is that the edges can be tricky to vacuum.)
