Sport Pro Surfacing Delivers Custom Performance Flooring for Florida State Football’s New Weight Room

Tallahassee, FL — Sport Pro Surfacing (SPS), a national leader in high-performance athletic flooring solutions, is proud to announce the completion of a 14,000-square-foot custom weight room installation for the Florida State University football program, setting a new standard for durability, performance, and design in collegiate strength facilities.

Designed to meet the demands of elite Division I football training, the newly renovated space features Northwest Rubber ReAction Elite 18mm flooring throughout the main weight room, complemented by custom platforms and school-specific colorways integrated seamlessly across the floor plan. The result is a unified, high-impact training environment engineered for both performance and long-term resilience.

The mezzanine level continues that performance-driven approach, outfitted with STR TXT48 turf paired with an adjacent custom-color ReAction 10mm rubber zone, creating a versatile surface for speed, movement prep, and supplemental training.

A Coach-Driven, Performance-First Decision

SPS worked closely with Josh Storms, Director of Strength & Conditioning for Florida State Football, throughout the evaluation and selection process. After reviewing multiple premium flooring options Coach Storms selected Northwest Rubber ReAction Elite 18 for its unmatched customization capabilities and proven durability under heavy collegiate use.

The decision reflected a long-term mindset: investing in surfaces that can withstand constant traffic, heavy loads, and explosive movement while maintaining performance integrity season after season.

“At this level, every detail matters—from how the floor absorbs force to how it supports our athletes day in and day out,” Storms noted during the evaluation process. “We needed a surface that could match the intensity of our program.”

Experience That Shows in Every Square Foot

Large-scale collegiate football weight rooms demand more than product knowledge—they require real-world installation experience, logistical precision, and a deep understanding of how athletes train. SPS brought decades of hands-on expertise to the project, guiding material selection, custom fabrication, and installation sequencing to ensure the facility opened ready for immediate use.

From the custom platform integration to color coordination across rubber and turf systems, every square foot was installed with performance, safety, and longevity in mind.

Built for the Next Generation of Seminoles

The finished space reflects Florida State Football’s commitment to excellence—combining cutting-edge aesthetics with elite-level functionality. The new weight room is designed not only to support today’s training demands, but to serve generations of Seminole athletes to come.

Strength Coach Quote Recommendation

“From design all the way through to finished product we had a great experience working with Sports Pro Surfacing,” said Josh Storms, Director of Strength & Conditioning for Florida State Football. “They were creative and helpful throughout the design process in bringing our ideas to life in the Owens Family Weight Room. The install was coordinated well through all the other involved contractors involved allowing this project to be completed on time. The final result is very impressive; I’ve coached on a lot of different surfaces the past 26 years and this is the best flooring solution I’ve found so far. Great traction, easy to clean, excellent absorption and a perfect “feel” this floor is truly elite surface for our athletes to train on.”
