| 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.
- Offsetting the eco-footprint of their employees and offices.
- Offering the most environmentally-friendly products available.
- Use a "green" web host company that utilizes solar panels to power its data center and office.
- Partnering with like-minded companies to raise public awareness about the environmental problems created through use of fossil fuels and other non-sustainable practices.
- 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.

 Nice mat... July 3, 2010
Fashionista2021 (GA)
I love this mat. Pads the knees and pelvic bone and elbows very well. I use the mat for workouts and yoga. I was using a thin yoga mat prior to this one and my knees would get sore. My pelvic bone and elbows would also get very sore. The elbows and pelvic bone would get sore especially when doing ab holds, neutral spine, and cobra pose. Im happy with it. The company also doesnt use environmentally harmful materials, and they plant a tree when you buy it. Not to mention a great price. Win. Win.
 Comfortable but fragile June 23, 2010
Tynee (NYC, USA)
This mat is great for my body type. I am slim and the thickness of the mat cushions my bones during Pilates. However, the mat tears easliy when pressure is applied from the different poses and stretches that require you to put weight on your feet and push outward (i.e: split stretches).

Excellent mat that has a nice cushion. It is extra long which is nice for my height (5'7"). I love using this for pilates and yoga, and have not noticed any spots of wearing down or tears like others have noted. I would definitely recommend.
Solid, eco-friendly mat June 12, 2010
JenBar (Kansas City, MO)
I'm not a hardcore yoga person so I can't verify if this mat holds up in classes, but I have used it for daily stretching and yoga-like videos and am satisfied with it. It's thick and comfortable and also quite long, which is nice. The only thing I took off a star for was the fact that the mat "molds" very easily. If you walk over it, your foot imprint will stay on for quite some time. Not a huge deal but not very attractive to see deep foot imprints all over.
Good value buy. June 2, 2010
Dave G. (SD, CA)
I'm using this mat to do yoga at home, and my tile floor has a rustic not-so-smooth type of surface. This mat is thicker and ideal for such a floor. For the [...] bucks that I spent I've got no regrets. When this one gets too beat up for yoga it's going to make a great camping pad!
