Editorial Review: The GoFit Ultimate Round Wobble Board is a great tool for balance, stability, rehabilitation & strength training. With the new, adjustable height feature you can now increase the difficulty of your workout. Included with the premium, extra thick wooden board with a non-skid surface is a Core Performance DVD created by Mark Verstegen from Athletes' Performance. Mark is the author of the best-selling books titled "Core Performance" and "Core Performance Essentials". Mark's training methods are used by world-class athletes including Mia Hamm, Phil Mickelson, Nomar Garciaparra, Brett Favre and many others. The training DVD takes you through exercises and progressive workouts for beginners, intermediate and advanced users. The board features a molded plastic base that is screwed into the board for added safety and durability.
This is challenging 5 out of 5
I was looking for a board that would give me a good balance workout and this board was just what I needed.
Go Fit wobble board 3 out of 5
I am generally happy with this product. However, I wanted a wobble board that could be adjusted. This one does adjust but the base often goes back in, decreasing the angle as I use it.
Disappointed 2 out of 5
I thought I was getting a piece of equipment to work on improving my balance as I get older (I'm late 40's), but the entire video is geared toward strengthening the core (although, maybe they go hand-in-hand). In any event, the model on the box is shown balancing on the board which is the main thing I wanted to do to help improve my balance. So far, I've found it impossible to do for more than a second or two, and I've been working on it every day for the 4-6 weeks since I got the board. No instructions or tips are provided to help learn how to master this skill (or maybe my balance is worse than I thought!). I realize these complaints may be more my problem than the board, so I'm willing to give GoFit the benefit of the doubt and keep working on it. However, I am very disappointed that the adhesive that holds the grip/tread on the top of the board is already loose and falling off after such a short period of time. Based on my experience so far, I would not recommend this board.
