My garden hut has a concrete floor. Handy hubby made it more aesthetically pleasing by putting a vinyl-like "fake wood" liner on top of it. I then added puzzle mats (6 feet by 6 feet... used to have it in the living room when the kids were smaller and we didn't want to have our nice carpet out there!) and put a square yoga mat on top of it. The yoga mat only slips a little if I'm moving very vigorously or pushing against it hard in a static position (think: wall sits) but really not any trouble at all. The setup works great for weights and low impact cardio and also helps with insulating my feet from the cold concrete in the winter! My garden hut only has a space heater so I still put on socks with rubbery gripper bottoms to insulate a bit more. For yoga that requires serious traction and anything that requires a lot of weight bearing on my wrists (e.g. planks, push-ups), I put a separate yoga mat in front of the set up above -- I am very particular about sticky yoga mats and the square one isn't sticky enough, and with the puzzle mats underneath, it's too squishy for my sensitive wrists. I am partial to the classic Journey mats sold at yogaprops.net

Flexi-roll mats are a little pricey but they are the bomb. Perfect for just about every fitness activity, including step. You can leave them down or roll them up (takes about 10 sec) as they are super light. They have the perfect amount of give---not so much that you sink but perfectly comfortable for step, floor work, grappling, barre etc. I can't recommend them enough. I bought 2 (5'x10') mats in sand camo color (I have furry friends and it also hides footprints). The mats cover most of my workout surface (10x10' total). I chose the smooth texture option to allow foot pivoting.
