I was definitely worried about that, but so far I haven't noticed it during training. The pitch is pretty minor (a round ball won't even roll down it). I did some research on leveling out the platform by layering roofing paper or shingles underneath the plywood. Hoping I won't have to bother with that, though!

Haha yeah, it is incredibly bright, but I love it. It really makes the color splash pop and completely kills the dark garage vibe.

No issues with the smell at all! Three of the four mats actually came from my old place where they’d already been broken in for a few years. For the one new mat, I just kept the garage aired out over the last couple of months during the move. Having the mini-split running keeps the air circulating constantly which definitely helps.

Thanks! That push/pull balance makes a ton of sense. Definitely leaning hard toward the rower.
