Natural Fitness Powerhouse Mat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this mat from another location, and I was excited when I received it. Natural Fitness is a great company with a message that I really identify with. The mat was a great color and the thickness was wonderful, especially because of how bony I am around the hips and knees.

However, I was EXTREMELY disappointed in it when it was put into practice. I brought it to my yoga class, and was horrified when my (perfectly manicured, thank you very much) toe punctured the mat! On top of that, it left lasting indentations from where I shifted my weight or changed position. The mat was also too light for the thickness it has -- thus, when changing position, the mat changes with you. Also, the material is very sticky and when performing with the mat in a class, it is best done in pants so your legs do not stick.

I immediately took it back to the store for a refund. I purchased the Divine yoga mat from Natural Fitness instead, and have no complaints. This mat may be fine for someone doing ab work... On a carpet... In their own home. That's about it.

About the Zero Impact Program


One of Natural Fitness's founding principles is to tread lightly on the earth. They aim to offset the environmental impact that results from the manufacturing and distribution of their products. To achieve this, the company created their Zero Impact Program (ZIP). While Natural Fitness is always looking for new and creative ways to offset their eco-footprint, here's is what the company is currently doing:

Plant-A-Tree Initiative: For every product sold, Natural Fitness will fund the planting of a tree, which can remove up to 2,000 pounds of pollution from the atmosphere. Through various partner organizations, the company hopes to improve the lives of people around the world by implementing sustainable land-use programs utilizing the trees provided. Locations for planting trees vary; but past projects have been conducted throughout Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Each location and project is researched and developed to implement the most effective plan possible; one that is best for the people and eco-system involved.

Offering the most environmentally-friendly products available.
Use a "green" web host company that utilizes solar panels to power its data center and office.

Using recycled content paper in business cards, letterhead, envelopes, labels, checks, and printer/copier paper. All of the product packaging and inserts that Natural Fitness uses are made with recycled paper.
Using recycled packaging materials and boxes in the company's warehouse. They also pack with old newspapers and other recyclable paper products.
Helped create the Chicago Biodiesel Co-op, which educated, promotes, and produces locally-derived biofuels.
Greening the company's comprehensive recycling program and using natural light when possible.
