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

Tallahassee, FL – Sport Pro Surfacing (SPS), a national frontrunner in 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, establishing a new benchmark for durability, performance, and design in collegiate strength facilities.

Crafted to fulfill the rigorous demands of elite Division I football training, the newly upgraded 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 throughout the floor layout. The outcome is a cohesive, high-impact training environment designed for both performance and long-lasting resilience.

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

A Coach-Centric, Performance-Driven Choice

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 options, Coach Storms chose Northwest Rubber ReAction Elite 18 for its unparalleled customization options and proven durability under intense collegiate use.

This decision represented a long-term vision: investing in surfaces capable of enduring continuous traffic, heavy loads, and explosive movements while preserving performance integrity season after season.

“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 keep pace with 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 profound understanding of athlete training methodologies. SPS brought years of hands-on experience to the project, overseeing material selection, custom fabrication, and installation sequencing to ensure that the facility was ready for immediate use upon completion.

From the integration of custom platforms to the color coordination across rubber and turf systems, every square foot was installed with an emphasis on performance, safety, and durability.

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 meet the current training needs but also to serve future generations of Seminole athletes.

Strength Coach Testimonial

“From the design phase to the final product, we had an excellent experience collaborating with Sport Pro Surfacing,” stated Josh Storms, Director of Strength & Conditioning for Florida State Football. “They were imaginative and supportive throughout the design process, helping us bring our vision to fruition 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 end result is remarkable; I have coached on numerous surfaces over the past 26 years, and this is the finest flooring solution I have encountered. It offers great traction, is easy to clean, provides excellent impact absorption, and has a perfect feel-this floor is truly an elite surface for our athletes to train on.”
