Very sturdy. Love using this with my standing desk. Keeps me moving so I don’t get stiff muscles from being in one position all day. Highly recommend.
This has greatly helped with low back pain and I feel much improved in respect of balance and concentration.
One day into using my amazing new board, I already parked up my not so amazing new desk chair. I used the board all day, for hours, without sitting down for even one minute. When I sat down at dinner, it felt like it should – a relief. It was fantastic.
The next day I woke up with a left foot so painful and swollen, I could barely walk. It was clear the constant leaning on the front of my foot, especially the big toe, was not a natural pose. Don’t do that, be mindful, distribute your weight on the whole of your sole.
Still, I persisted and stood all day on my board again.
The thought of sitting down at the desk again was more uncomfortable than the thought of bearing through the pain.
Fourth day, still on my board from dawn til dusk, almost pain free, but completely addicted.
So, with this board, choose between hip or knee replacement in your 80s from a life of being bound to a chair or pain foot for a few days.
Or: you could also choose to actually follow what the manufacturer recommends in the instructions: use it for 20% of the time to start with and just be completely pain free.
Please make this cheaper as an ethical duty to humankind.
I have never used something like this before but since I am now using a standing desk I wanted to do something to add a bit more of a “work out” to my work day. This product did the trick! Very well made and looks like it will last a long time. Really enjoy using it almost every day! I have never tried snowboarding but after using this Balance Board I might just give it a try!
Use this every day, no longer tired of sitting or standing still. Great for dancing to the music while you work too? Very sturdy, and fun!
I’ve been eyeing this board since I saw it many years ago on Kickstarter. So I was very happy to discover couple of month ago that I can buy it on Amazon without having to pay import tax from the US on it. It is very expensive so I was not able to justify the cost to myself for a long time.
Recently I started having lower back pains despite a highly ergonomic chair, electronic height adjustable table and changing from sitting to standing every 20 minutes. I discovered my glutes are not active from many years of sedentary job so I wasn’t standing properly. So I thought a balance board could solve that. I thought I won’t be able to stand on it without activating my glutes. And I was right! I saw massive improvement in just a week of using the board for only ~1-2h a day. Now I activate my glutes even when not standing on the board and my back aches way less.
Another thing not mentioned in the listing is that the board comes with a nice string backpack and the challenge cap which makes the board way more challenging.
Cons? It is expensive and the surface is slippery and my feet hurt from standing on the boards hard surface (as they would on any hard surface). Slippers help a bit.
It is definitely helping me to exercise, i feel the after exercise tiredness on my leg muscles after a work day. It is also a lot of fun. In my opinion, this is great for office environment, but for home use; i found it hurts my feet after an hour or so. Therefore, I started to use it with some slippers to have the extra softness on feet. Regardless, I think it does what it promises.
Love it! Had a cheap plastic wobble board and wanted something better for my standing desk. I researched and although expensive this seemed to be the best, and it’s brilliant! One week in and I enjoy standing at my desk, it’s so well designed it feels like you are balancing on air. My steps and standing time have doubled and my ankles, knees and hips all feel great. Highly recommend!
Having just moved to a working from home contract, and luckily getting hold of an unused standing desk from the office, I decided to buy one of these to help ‘keep me moving’ while standing still. Although pricier than most, the reviews on the web were reassuringly good so, with Amazon offering 15 off at the time, I decided to go for it!
The item turned up well packaged and protected from damage. Inside the box, the product had been placed in a purpose-made carry bag. This had 2 pockets on the front, one holding the instructions/information and the other holding the ‘Challenge Cap’, which was included in the cost. It’s a sturdy, well-made item with a lovely wood finish. I am using it in a carpeted room but do have a plastic floor mat between the board and the carpet so there’s more movement than if I had it directly on the carpet.
The width and shape of the board makes this much easier to stand on than the circular ‘wobble cushion’ I had been using prior to my purchase. Moving your feet closer of further apart affects the stability so you can adjust depending on how you’re feeling. Adding the Challenge Cap definitely makes a noticeable difference (I’m using it for the first time as I type this review and there’s far more movement going on!)
Overall, I’m thrilled with my purchase and look forward to the benefits it will bring.
The board is excellent. Anyone who tries it will buy one. I would like the ‘challenge’ cup to increase range of motion.
I stand on it all day – and miss it when I’ve lent it out!
I can’t quantify what it does for me – but makes standing more fun.
I love everything about this board! It has helped me so much with my posture while working. Recommended 100%
I really enjoy my fluidstance. I can feel it effecting every muscle in my bone while working at my standing desk plus it’s lots of fun!
This balance board is great. Recommended to me by a friend in the US whose only complaint was the price that he paid for it. But I picked it up in the boxing day sales at a price I was very happy with (not least because it was less than my friend paid 🙂 ) This is a great product. Solid, well made and does exactly what it says. No-fuss! I find that it best for me just after lunch – especially when I have a long Skype call to participate in. Keeps me active and engaged. Love it.
It’s a good size, seemingly built to last and super easy to get used to and perform a variety of movements on including twisting and… more extravagant “tricks” when bored 🙂
Deducting one star as this cost 225 and the finish on the visible bits of the metal base and one edge of the wooden deck were visibly rough – nothing just a few minutes of prep wouldn’t have sorted before coating for the base, varnishing for the deck.
I bought this because I have a standing desk to help my back. We’re not designed to sit all day… but I learned that standing is no better for you – unless you move! Although expensive I was attracted to this because of the smooth 360degree domed bottom.. with more movement than side to side. I was not disappointed! The motion is excellent – it turns smoothly in any direction but is fairly easy to stand on. The board and base are both amazing quality and I use a bicycle lock to keep it secure when I’m not in the office 🙂
