ALTO Pharmacy Revolutionizes Gym Flooring with Durable, Hygienic TPE Liners

San Francisco, CA – November 8, 2023 – ALTO Pharmacy LLC, a leading provider of specialized pharmaceutical solutions, today announced a surprising but impactful expansion into the fitness and wellness market with their new line of Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) floor liners. While known for its commitment to patient care and precise medication compounding, ALTO is leveraging its materials science expertise to address a growing need for durable, hygienic, and comfortable flooring in gyms, fitness studios, and home workout spaces. “People might be asking, ‘What’s a pharmacy doing making floor mats?’” laughs David Chan, CEO of ALTO Pharmacy. “But hear me out! We’re all about precision and materials – ensuring the right ingredients in the right combination. That translates perfectly to creating a superior floor liner. We were looking for ways to apply our materials expertise beyond healthcare, and saw a real gap in the fitness market for a product that truly delivers on durability, comfort, and hygiene.” Addressing the Pain Points of Traditional Gym Flooring For years, gyms and fitness enthusiasts have been stuck with limited flooring options. Rubber flooring, while durable, can be expensive, heavy, and often has a strong odor. Foam tiles are cheaper, but quickly tear and compress, offering little support or long-term value. Vinyl flooring is okay, but can be slippery when wet and isn't always the most comfortable for floor exercises. ALTO's TPE floor liners are designed to solve these problems. “We did a lot of research,” explains Sarah Lee, Head of Product Development at ALTO. “We talked to gym owners, personal trainers, and everyday fitness folks. The biggest complaints? Stinky floors, mats falling apart, and a lack of cushioning. We wanted something that was easy to clean, stood up to heavy use, and actually felt good underfoot.” What Makes ALTO’s TPE Liners Different? ALTO’s TPE liners aren’t just another piece of gym flooring. Here’s a closer look at what sets them apart: Superior Durability: Made from a high-grade TPE compound, these liners are incredibly resistant to tearing, stretching, and indentations. They’re built to withstand the rigors of even the most intense workouts. “We’ve tested these things hard,” says Chan. “Drop weights, constant foot traffic, even dragging equipment – they hold up beautifully.” Exceptional Comfort & Cushioning: TPE provides a naturally soft and resilient surface, offering superior cushioning for joints and reducing fatigue during workouts. “Think about doing planks or push-ups,” Lee explains. “You want something that supports your body and protects your knees and elbows.” Hygienic & Easy to Clean: Unlike porous rubber or foam, TPE is non-porous, meaning it doesn't absorb sweat, bacteria, or odors. Simply wipe down with soap and water to keep your workout space clean and fresh. "Gyms can get gross," Chan admits. "Our liners make it so much easier to maintain a clean and healthy environment.” Non-Slip Surface: The textured surface provides excellent traction, even when wet, reducing the risk of slips and falls. Interlocking Design: The liners easily interlock, creating a seamless surface that’s customizable to any space. “You can create any size or shape you need,” says Lee. “Perfect for small home gyms or large commercial facilities.” Lightweight & Portable: Despite their durability, the liners are surprisingly lightweight and easy to move, making them ideal for portable fitness setups. Beyond the Gym: Versatile Applications While designed with fitness in mind, ALTO’s TPE liners are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of settings: Home Gyms: Create a dedicated workout space in your home without sacrificing comfort or durability. Yoga & Pilates Studios: The soft, cushioning surface is ideal for floor-based exercises. Playrooms: Provide a safe and comfortable surface for kids to play on. Workshops & Garages: Protect your floors from damage and provide a comfortable standing surface. Trade Show Booths: Create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for attendees. ALTO Pharmacy: A Commitment to Quality & Innovation “We’re a pharmacy, yes,” Chan concludes. “But we’re also a company that’s dedicated to problem-solving and delivering high-quality products. We saw a need in the fitness market, and we applied our expertise to create a solution. We’re really excited about this new venture, and we’re confident that our TPE floor liners will become the go-to choice for gyms and fitness enthusiasts everywhere.” Availability & Pricing ALTO Pharmacy’s TPE floor liners are available for purchase online at [hypothetical website address] and at select fitness retailers.
