Pro Balance Trainer

I've been putting off investing in a BOSU ball for years! The times I've been in the best, slimmest shape of my life has involved training extensively with a BOSU ball. Call me high maintenance, but after training with a genuine BOSU in the gym for years, I couldn't bring myself to buy an off brand. I also was nervous about how much of a difference the home version of the ball was from the pro version, so I decided to splurge and just get the Pro so I knew I would be 100% happy with this investment. The Pro version is exactly what I used in my gyms. It is sturdy, quality, and easy to maintain. Mine came with the BOSU, a cheap air pump (does the job just fine), a DVD, instruction booklet and an exercise guide that is actually pretty extensive (not just exercises, but educational material as well). I highly suggest checking YouTube for some fresh BOSU ball workouts as well. There are a lot of options to help inspire you on how to best maximize your BOSU for the best results.My husband is driven crazy by me always repeating "why did I wait so long to do this!?!" It is such a great way to take a basic exercise and challenge your entire body simply by doing it standing on the BOSU. BONUS: The husband has back issues that make it very, very difficult for him to do any sort of working out (even low impact and body weight exercises). It is a catch 22 because in order to make it better without surgery, he needs to gain core strength. The BOSU has been a great tool for him. He is able to do upper body exercises on the BOSU while strengthening his core. The results have been strengthening without the pain that usually follows any type of exercise.

The BOSU is a fantastic piece of fitness equipment that I highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their balance, strength, and overall fitness. I have been using the BOSU for a long time at the gym. I finally made the step to purchase my own, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed.The BOSU is incredibly versatile and can be used for a variety of exercises, including balance training, core strengthening, and cardio workouts. The unique dome-shaped design allows for a full range of motion, making it a great tool for improving flexibility and mobility.What I love about the BOSU is how easy it is to modify exercises to suit my individual fitness level and goals. Whether I am looking to increase the challenge or reduce the difficulty, I can adjust the intensity of my workout quickly and easily.Overall, I highly recommend the BOSU to anyone looking to add a new dimension to their fitness routine. It's a fun and effective way to improve balance, strength, and overall fitness, making it a great investment for both beginners and seasoned fitness enthusiasts alike.

I use the Bosu Pro Ball at the gym I belong to and it's great for balance exercises, pushups, and strengthening the core. I decided I wanted one at home and chose the black model. Ordered and received it in 2 days. Quality is the same as the ones at the gym, well made and sturdy, and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

i first saw the BOSU at the gym i work out, and i knew i wanted one for my home. i purchased this professional model for my home over the home model because i read that home model isn't built as well. this one appears identical to the one at my NYSC gym and i am very happy about that.the ball is easy to inflate with the included foot pump. the included instructional DVD includes a lot of exercises. the base doesn't slip at all due to a MASSIVE circular rubber foot that is made out of some super sticky kind of rubber. the ball surface itself is also very nice and not slippery at all - it feels soft, but durable. the ball and base definitely feel professional quality.doing crunches on the ball feels perfect - almost like getting tazered in the stomach or something. i also did bench press with lighter dumbbells on the ball and it felt very good as well.the ONLY downside i can think of is that when you switch from standing exercises to reclining exercises you may want to wipe the dirt off with a moist paper towel. depending on how clean your shoes are or how dirty your shirt is you may not need to do this, but i found myself doing it.another word of warning i would give is that, because of the constant balancing, it is actually a lot of stress on the ankle to be standing on the BOSU with one foot. this may be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. if you are a young hiker or basketball player perhaps you will enjoy strengthening your ankles, but if you are an older person with problematic ankles you may hurt them. i happen to have a bad ankle so i don't use the BOSU for standing exercises, but that's not the fault of the ball, and i am quite happy with the other exercises i can do on it.in addition to included DVD, you can easily find tons of BOSU exercises on youtube, and i recommend you do so.finally if you're looking to get it for a commercial gym, i saw people in my gym using it as something to sit on between sets. basically it is so versatile in a commercial gym it is guaranteed to find many uses.for home it is quite a large piece of equipment so it may not be for everybody, but i find that it is worth it for me, as you can put it just about anywhere when not in use - i just store mine upside down on whichever couch is not used. for long term storage, or transportation, it could be deflated to quite a flat shape, but i keep mine aired up and ready to use.yes i recommend it and would buy it again. it is my second most favorite piece of home exercise equipment after my PowerBlock Urethane Dumbbells.
