Wooden floor structure in carport for gym?

[frutty]

Now I have decided to enclose the carport so I can have a small gym at home. The carport is adjacent to a smaller house on the property, so it seemed most sensible to install a wooden floor structure in that section in case we want to increase the space inside that house in the future. See drawing.

The new section will be used as a gym/office.
And after a bit of searching here on the forum, I saw that there is something called EPS concrete? Is it suitable to use in this case?

If so, would it be possible to roll out a gym mat

Not really sure if I understood what you want an answer to, but at my job, we have a gym above the lunchroom. I believe the joists are spaced cc300 and have double floorboards. Then there's a "gym" mat laid over it. So that's at least an option if it works for you.

Hope that helped you a bit anyway.

It absolutely helped, was thinking if something could be done with the CC measurement as well.

Now I have decided to enclose the carport so I can have a small gym at home. The carport is connected to a smaller house on the property, so it seemed most sensible to lay a wooden floor structure in that part as well if in the future you want to increase the area inside that house. See drawing.

If so, could one roll out a gym mat

I don't know if a moderator changed my post and added the image a bit hastily, but it should say "If so, could one roll out a gym mat directly on the concrete?"

EPS concrete is not suitable without a topping that provides strength. If you're after insulation, lay cellular plastic and do a proper pour. It will be cheaper.

EPS concrete is not suitable without an overlay to provide strength. If you're looking for insulation, lay polystyrene and do a proper pour. It will be cheaper.

Okay, then I'll skip the idea of EPS.

Is there anything else to consider besides spacing the joists closer for a strong joisted floor?
