Sport Pro Surfacing Provides Tailored Performance Flooring for Florida State Football’s New Weight Room

Tallahassee, FL – Sport Pro Surfacing (SPS), a prominent provider of high-performance athletic flooring solutions, is excited to announce the successful completion of a 14,000-square-foot custom weight room installation for the Florida State University football program. This installation sets a new benchmark for durability, performance, and design in collegiate strength facilities.

Engineered to fulfill the rigorous demands of elite Division I football training, the newly updated area showcases Northwest Rubber ReAction Elite 18mm flooring throughout the primary weight room, enhanced by custom platforms and school-specific color schemes that are seamlessly integrated into the overall floor plan. The outcome is a cohesive, high-impact training environment designed for both performance and long-lasting durability.

The mezzanine level continues this performance-oriented design, featuring STR TXT48 turf alongside a custom-color ReAction 10mm rubber zone, offering a versatile surface for speed training, movement preparation, and additional workouts.

A Coach-Driven, Performance-Centric Approach

SPS collaborated closely with Josh Storms, Director of Strength & Conditioning for Florida State Football, throughout the assessment and selection process. After considering various premium flooring alternatives, Coach Storms opted for Northwest Rubber ReAction Elite 18 due to its unmatched customization options and established durability under the demands of collegiate use.

This decision was rooted in a long-term perspective: investing in surfaces capable of withstanding constant foot traffic, heavy weights, and explosive movements while preserving performance integrity year after year.

“At this level, every detail is crucial-from how the floor absorbs impact to how it supports our athletes consistently,” Storms remarked during the evaluation phase. “We required a surface that could withstand the intensity of our program.”

Expertise Evident in Every Square Foot

Large-scale collegiate football weight rooms require more than just product knowledge-they demand practical installation experience, logistical accuracy, and a thorough understanding of athlete training methods. SPS brought years of hands-on expertise to the project, overseeing material selection, custom fabrication, and installation sequencing to ensure the facility was ready for immediate use upon completion.

From the integration of custom platforms to the color coordination between rubber and turf systems, every square foot was installed with a focus on performance, safety, and longevity.

Designed for the Future of Seminoles

The completed space embodies Florida State Football’s dedication to excellence, merging innovative aesthetics with top-tier functionality. The new weight room is crafted not only to accommodate current training needs but also to serve future generations of Seminole athletes.

Strength Coach’s Endorsement

“From the initial design stages to the final product, our experience working with Sport Pro Surfacing was outstanding,” stated Josh Storms, Director of Strength & Conditioning for Florida State Football. “They were innovative and supportive throughout the design process, helping to bring our vision to life in the Owens Family Weight Room. The installation was well-coordinated with all other contractors involved, allowing the project to be completed on schedule. The final outcome is truly impressive; having coached on various surfaces over the past 26 years, I can confidently say this is the best flooring solution I have encountered. It offers excellent traction, is easy to clean, provides great absorption, and has an ideal feel-this flooring is truly an elite surface for our athletes to train on.”
