Toby's Sports Elite Training Mat review: a plain floor mat

The Toby’s Sports Elite Training Mat is a plain floor exercise mat, around ₱599 from Toby’s own store. It does the basic job, but Toby’s publishes no material or thickness, so you are buying partly on trust.

What you get

A simple exercise mat from Toby’s in-house Elite line, meant for floor training: core work, planks, sit-ups, and stretching. There is no textured grip surface or carry strap called out in the listing, so treat it as a straightforward cushioned base, not a feature-loaded yoga mat.

How does it feel to use?

We would love to tell you the exact cushioning, but Toby’s does not list a thickness, so we will not guess. A “training mat” like this is aimed at floor exercises rather than standing balance poses, so expect a comfortable-enough base for mat work. If deep knee and elbow padding matters to you, confirm the thickness on the live listing first, or look at a mat that states its numbers.

Is it durable and safe?

Here is the honest gap: the listing does not name the material, so we cannot tell you whether it is NBR foam, TPE, or PVC, and each behaves differently on smell, grip, and lifespan. What we can say is that it ships from Toby’s Sports’ official store, which is an established retailer, so you have a real seller to go back to. Until the material is confirmed, we would keep expectations modest and air it out before first use as you would any new foam mat.

Is it sulit?

At around ₱599 as of July 22, 2026, it is priced as an entry-level mat, and the Toby’s name plus a 4.8 rating buys some peace of mind. But because the core specs are unlisted, a mat that clearly states its thickness and material can be the smarter spend. Compare the field in our best yoga mats in the Philippines roundup.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want a cheap, basic floor mat from a store you trust and you are not fussy about the exact specs. If you want a stated material, a grippy surface, and a carry strap, spend a little more on the Toby’s Elite TPE Grip-Tech mat. Not sure what thickness or material you need?

Alternatives to consider

Its own sibling, the Toby’s Elite TPE Grip-Tech mat, fixes the two big gaps here with a stated TPE build and a grip surface. If cushioning is what you are after, the thick UFC 10mm fitness mat spells out its padding.
