Revolution 101 Balance Board Trainer

45 years ago when I was 8 I tried a balance board at a ski shop. My mom (who I love) said "They want $50 for a board and a roller?" Well she pissed me off last week and I bought one. Now I can't get enough of it! I will be balancing next to the table at Thanksgiving this year giving her the stink eye. DO NOT WAIT 45 YEARS!

I've used other balance boards, like the Bosu and Yes 4 All's wooden board. I purchased this board because I was looking for a greater challenge. This board is definitely more challenging than the other boards I've tried. I'm pretty advanced on the other boards and even use them while typing all day and doing various one-legged yoga poses and weight lifting moves. On this board, however, I'm a beginner again! I definitely recommend starting on either thick carpet or grass. I thought I would be able to master it in a week and start using it at my standing desk, but I think that would only result in me taking out the cubes next to me! If you're looking for a greater challenge, then this is definitely the board and roller for you.

Because this is a Christmas gift (I actually ordered four of them!) I haven't tried it yet. But I can tell you that they arrived in a timely manner, were well packaged and looked well made. It is hard to find cool gifts for young/mid teens, especially boys, but I predict that my guys are going to love these. I got them each one so they could keep them in their rooms, or bring them out to the family room for some friendly competition. P.S. I also bought them boxing gloves. Can you imagine how fun this combo will be!

I really love this simple sturdy board and got it to add to my fitness routine as well as help with staying in shape for snow boarding in the winter. It's well made and the roller (a solid plastic material) looks like it will definitely last a very long time.There are really many things you can do with it as far as fitness, and a search on YouTube videos will give you tutorials for many ideas (also for board tricks if you're into that)..I'm in my 40's and just into the fitness. If you practice on a carpet or a mat, you'll have no fear of flying off like a Tom and Jerry cartoon. LOL! Also, the underside of the board has durable fixed stoppers for added safety (photo provided).I definitely recommend getting this board!THANKS REVOLUTION 101 TEAM!

I have been pleased with my new Revolution Balance Board. I purchased it as a tool to help me re-learn the elementary balance skills that I lost over time to aging and peripheral neuropathy. Exercising and wobble boards are becoming boring to me. So, I decided to try something that would be exciting, risky, and inspire me to aspire.It has only been a few days, but the Revolution 101 has exceed my expectations. Even though I started training a few months ago, my sense of balance is poor, I have to start with the very basics to use this board. But, with the help of some YouTube basic balancing exercises and balance board training material (from a competing brand), I am having a blast.My board is a quality product, nicely finished, and looks appealing. It was shipped and delivered promptly and ahead of schedule.

This board has been nothing but great!!! I often read articles for class while standing on it. Any bad reviews that have been posted are due to people injuring themselves. Its a balance board you may clearly injure yourselves while using it, just use your common sense and be careful and you will be fine. I use mine on a concrete floor and have no problem. Its also my first time ever using one and trust me I am not an athlete. While yes the board can move to the edge of the roller all you have to do is be careful and eventually you will be able to learn how to adjust the boards position while you are still on it. I have never injured myself while using it, i have almost fallen twice though that is due to my trying to learn new things and pushing myself. This board is great a little pricey but I would buy it again.

I have gotten a lot of use out of this, but the stops don't work very well. With most balance boards, when you fall, it's because the stops on the underside have locked onto the roller and you can't get it to roll back. With this one, it will fly right past the stops and you are on the ground faster than you know you've fallen. I was also looking for something that can be used inside or outside, and this definitely can't. The roller is coated in felt, and the board is coated in a soft foam rather than a gripped material. It's fine if you don't need to use it outside, but overall a bit of a safety hazard and overpriced for what it is.

Great product! Well made and looks fantastic. I have used balance boards for years and decided to upgrade to this device after trying one at a skate camp I attended. I was immediately hooked and had to have one. It's fun to use with a wide variety of challenges for the user. I have noticed in the short time that I used this that my hips and core feel solid. This translates into stronger skating and xc skiing technique. Use it barefoot, with shoes or try it doing planks and push ups. It's exhausting but it works you out well. Love this board.

We bought this as a birthday present for a 10 year old and have used it way more than he has! It's great for improving balance skills, it took me about 10 minutes occasional practise to be able to balance for 15 seconds or so at a time and then after about an hour total I can stay on for as long as I can be bothered.The instructions say it's best to learn on carpet but we found with our standard depth carpet there was too much resistance to rolling and an old yoga mat on hard floor was best to use it on, this gives just the right amount of resistance that you can balance easily without the board flying off. I've now progressed to hardwood floor which I now find the easiest once I'm actually up and balancing but it's a bit tricky to get started.The stops at each end are definitely worth buying this board versus cheaper ones as it means when you reach the limits the stop makes sure the board doesn't completely fly off and you can reset safely, but is far enough on the edge that it's not cheating.

My kids can't stop using this balance board from the moment it arrived. It will definitely improve balance and core stability. It keeps them away from their phones for an hour after school as they challenge each other to improving their skills. It uses all the leg muscles and joints in order to maintain balance. Brilliant addition-my son is growing so fast his joints ache but this item is likely to strengthen the lower leg structures in no time at all.

Having used an indo board in the gym for some time I bought this for home. It’s just excellent. I will happily balance and watch TV. The board is slightly longer and narrower than standard indo board, but this just adds to the challenge. We only have wood floors at home which means this ( or any cyclinder) will shoot away quickly. Place a thin yoga mat under the roller for a less dramatic sway. Buy one for a great, relaxing “workout”

I just wanted to let you know that the item was delivered in excellent condition. Moreover, I was stunned by the amazing quality of this board. It is as sturdy as it is required for heavy use as well as tricks. I would like to congratulate you for delivering such a high quality product fully respecting the end user.Well done! I will definitely be looking out Revolution for new product releases.Thank youA Happy buyer

Fantastic balance board - I've looked at a lot of these and opted for this one as a solid starter for me. None are particularly cheap but unless you have the time, energy and kit to make your own, I don't think you can go wrong here. Very solid build - quick delivery and am pleased with the purchase.

My 12 year old loves this. Can be used for fun or building core and stability exercises. Hoping to practice hockey skills on it once he’s mastered his balance

Does train balance and after workout i can feel it in my muscles

I love this thing. Been using it every day for the last few weeks and already feeling noticeable difference at how long I can keep my balance for.

Very pleased with purchase, good quality item, harder to balance on than my wobble board, so looking forward to challenging myself

Really well made board and it is great fun.

Love it get for your coreQuick delivery etc

Absolutely love it - it’s now located in the front room and is great for my balance and core - which is great for my snowboarding and running strength
