Everlast Folding Exercise Mat 72-Inch by 24-Inch (Blue) Ok mat but NOT like the older version – momofmany – Louisiana USA
Not worth the price I paid. I purchased 2 of these mats in search of the Everlast mats that are like the ones in my gym. These look the same but they aren’t solid like the old ones. They are better than some of the cheaper versions but again, NOT worth the price. If you expect to get a good sturdy mat like Everlast used to make, this mat is NOT it! I guess they just don’t make them like the older version. The original Everlast mats weren’t made of sponge. Don’t know what they were made of but they’re much better than these and yes, my ORIGINAL mats are still going strong. I’m not sure these will last very long at all.
You can see in the picture how the vinyl looks wrinkled. That’s because it is and it doesn’t fit tight like the original. $[..] would have been worth the price for the original but not for this one, definitely not the $[..] they are asking now!
This is a great exercise mat to get- particularly when you live in a tiny apartment with little space for working out. The mat fits neatly under my couch when not in use… I only wish I was motivated to get it out more. Great for ab work; comfortable, firm support for your back.

About Everlast
The name Everlast is synonymous with boxing. Renown internationally as a manufacturer of boxing equipment, Everlast started out as a swimwear manufacturer in 1910. Headquartered in the Bronx, NY, the company was founded by 17-year-old Jacob Golomb. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, Jacob Golomb was dissatisfied with the durability of swimsuits because they barely lasted a season, so he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name, Everlast. Although the swimsuits did not last through the years, the name did.
Over the next years, Golomb expanded his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more than 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. Golomb specially designed the training gear for Dempsey. In 1919, Dempsey won the world’s heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb. Everlast became the headquarters for boxing equipment throughout the world. In 1925, Golomb designed elastic-waist trunks to replace the leather-belted trunks then worn by boxers. These trunks, now known as boxer trunks, immediately became famous. Jacob Golomb ran the business until he passed away in the early 1950’s and his son, Dan, took over. In 1958, Ben Nadorf joined Everlast and purchased 50% of the company from the Golomb family. When Dan Golomb passed away in 1995, Nadorf purchased the family’s remaining 50% interest. Nadorf remained the President and Principle Share Holder of Everlast until October 24, 2000.
Everlast men’s and women’s apparel and accessories continue today to be tremendously successful both inside and outside the ring. In addition, Everlast boxing trunks and equipment remain the proud and undefeated champion of the boxing industry for more than 90 years. The history continues, as the name states. Everlast has a traditional past and a knockout future.
