Product Description
Balance Board Training: Improves Balance, Coordination and Posture
Balance Training is the process of coaching our bodies and brains into feeling comfortable and confident in any posture or range of motion. It demands physical and mental attention in order to create awareness of how the body moves in a variety of conditions. Through Balance Training our sense of proprioception can be trained to anticipate different movements so that our bodies can react gracefully, maintain a better relationship with gravity and develop improved posture.
An essential component of injury prevention, Balance Training is a simple activity that will have a profound impact on your overall health and is recommended for all ages and abilities. Ongoing Balance Training will keep our minds and bodies constantly aware of themselves and functioning together, and greater practice will yield greater results. Fitterfirst has a variety of Balance Boards to suit your specific balance training needs and to help you improve your quality of life.
Using a balance board can engage and train stabilizing muscles of your back, abdominal, hips and legs thus helping to reduce back pain, improve posture, leg strength and ankle range of motion. Great to use after a leg, knee, ankle injury and surgery to improve range of movement and confidence to enhance proprioceptive awareness, boost the rehabilitation and reduce the risk of re-injuries.
Stability, Agility and Mobility
No need to worry about stability while standing, doing pushups or doing balance training. It is made from durable 3/4” birch plywood which is safe and has a non-slip top surface for any type of footwear or bare feet. Here are some of the benefits of using our balance board:
- Improved balance, coordination, strength & stability
- Better proprioceptive awareness
- Improve core muscles and posture
- Increase coordination
- Greater ankle range of motion (R.O.M.)
- Improved flexibility & agility
- Enhance cognitive and sensory skills
- Add challenges to your normal workouts

Fitter First boards, on the other hand, are actually quite difficult at first (which is EXACTLY what you want- if it was too easy it would be pointless!), and then you gradually get much better as you get stronger. After a couple months in PT on 2 fitter first wobble boards that only balance side to side, I went from being able to barely balance for a few seconds at a time to being able to not let the board touch the ground more than a few times in a period of two minutes. Three times a week of trying to balance on the board as much as possible for only 2 to 4 minutes each time really does help your core balance gradually. This balance board is even harder than the side to side boards I used in PT (even on the first difficulty setting), and I'm glad, as I wanted something at home to keep progressing with on my own. It's a nice way to keep getting stronger even when PT stops.
But I also feel that even a person who has no balance experience could still start with this board- it just would be harder than what PT would usually initially use, but in my non medical opinion I don't think this board would be very dangerous or anything like that if you did. If you used this board to start, I would spend weeks getting better at balancing on it while holding onto something until you get strong enough to start letting go, and doing exercises where you just try to rock the board side to side, and front to back, without even balancing. While ideally you should start with easier boards than this, the reality is that you would probably then want 2 or 3 other boards also in the hundred dollar range which can get kind of pricey, and a couple months down the line you wouldn't need the older ones- something to think about anyways. I personally am quite happy with this product myself even though it seems like a lot of money to buy a circle of wood for- it's good sports-medical quality equipment and I haven't found anything similar in quality to Fitter First boards for cheaper anywhere.
Like other reviewers mentioned, it is a lot of fun and you can use it while doing any of your daily activities.
At first, you'll just need something to hold on to for stability. A kitchen island or standing desk are the most useful for this because they: help a lot with keeping your balance, allow you fine control over how much you use untrained muscle groups in your leg and ankle, and they can hold a computer, food, book, or television for watching your programs.
This allows you to spend a significant amount of time on the wobble board right out of the box without getting fatigued. The first time you use the wobble board you should have someone spot you until you feel comfortable stabilizing yourself with the kitchen island, bar, wall, counter, or standing desk. You will also have fine counter over which muscles you use for balancing.
Training this way will increase not only balance but also muscle strength and neuromuscular coordination ability.
The coordination aspect is the most rewarding because it trains you to get "in the zone" in a very pleasant and immediately apparent way. After a couple days of training while gradually doing more and more of your activities while on a wobble board you will have moments of complete bliss, seconds which leave you relaxed and in complete stillness on top of the wobble board.
