I’m looking at building one of these excellent bar training stations at my gym.

But what’s the easiest, cheapest way to build those spotting decks?
I’d love to use Gordon’s Action mats.

Are Gordon’s action mats stable enough for these kinds of drills? I’m not familiar with them… it just looks like an inflatable mattress, so wouldn’t the coach have a hard time balancing up there while trying to spot at the same time?
I don’t particularly like the idea of using a harder box either, in case the gymnast smacks their legs off them coming out of a bad release or giant swing…
But I love the set-up in general, it really allows a coach to get their hands around the gymnast’s torso easy.
The Gordon’s mats are surprisingly stable. I thought I might use them as a base, tying them to the uprights.
Then use folding mats to stabilize the top surface for spotting.
I see, that would probably work a treat. Thanks.
