BOSU® Home Balance Trainer
The Home Balance Trainer is our classic and a perfect choice for the casual home user! With a 65cm diameter, its original style dome & platform surfaces will enhance any basic workout or training style with an element of instability to help improve health & life activities! Insider Info: Same model used for the Build Your Own BOSU® feature and be sure to check for wear of the non-slip feet – which are replaceable!BOSU® NexGen™ Home Balance Trainer
You get all the greatness of our Home unit, with the added benefit of our textured NexGen™ dome! This unique feature allows better grip for both hands and feet while the patterning assists in both placement & cuing of appropriate body part based on the exercise. Insider Info: The textured surface may allow a grippier experience for our barefoot training friends but sweat is inevitable with or without shoes. As with all our Balance Trainers, be cautious and have a towel handy to keep the product clean & dry!BOSU® Sport Balance Trainer
The smaller surface area and circumference (only 50cm) make the Sport unit more appealing to children, Trainers & Coaches who travel for clients, and users in smaller spaces. Although modest in size, it’s still mighty when it comes time to work out! Insider Info: Same dome, platform & feet as the two units mentioned above so recommended for home use only.BOSU® Pro Balance Trainer
Our most recognized product, the ‘original’ Pro Balance Trainer boasts a patented double-molded base (for extra strength) and a smooth, non-skid platform surface (so nothing gets in your way) making it the ultimate choice for professional and commercial-grade use! Our Pro unit was made to withstand the toughest workout format while still promoting all the function and feedback needed for effective stability training. Insider Info: You don’t need to be a fitness pro to use our Pro Balance Trainer, however it’s the only model recommended for clubs, clinics, training centers or any situation expecting high volume use.BOSU® NexGen™ Pro Balance Trainer
The latest generation of our Pro unit also offers the unique texture benefits of the NexGen™ dome while maintaining the high-quality features needed for commercial & professional use!
