Revolution FIT 3-in-1 Exercise Balance Board Training System

I've been doing physical therapy for a long-time balance problem due to a chronic illness, and we use the balance board a lot. It's incredibly helpful for anyone - athletes, medical needs, people who want to work on core strength, anyone. And there were a million of these online. So I started narrowing down by my needs. There are a lot of round ones that are smaller, and that didn't work for me. If you really want to work on balance for sports, athletic performance, balance problems or core work, you need a bigger board. This one is bigger than a skateboard, but not overwhelming. I also looked at the grip material. And then I looked at the usage. This was not the cheapest one on the market, but what I really like is the flexibility of the different parts that go under the board as you get better or your needs change. I see using this board indefinitely. Note: be careful! It does work on any surface, I've use it on hardwood floors and terracotta tile floors, but don't be a show off. I use it for real on carpet, and I make sure I have room to fall and something to grab onto. For me, side to side is way easier than front to back.

I've had the Revolution FIT 3-in-1 for several months now and love using it! I'm glad I went with the 3-in-1 because I was researching online to find equipment to improve my stability for running long distance, snowboarding and potential surfing lessons. The semicircular foam roll functions well as a stability wedge when paired with the board, saving me the trouble of shelling out an indecent amount of money just for a separate stability wedge. Same thing goes for the inflatable wobble pad. Paired with the roller, the Revolution board offers similar function to the Indo Board, which I also bought and tested out. I would say as a beginner user of such types of boards, I felt safer with the Revolution board because the diameter of its roller is smaller than the Indo Board, but offers the same freedom of movement because there are no guide tracks on the bottom of either boards. There are small wooden pieces beneath both boards near the top and bottom edges, which prevent the roller from rolling completely out from under the boards when you are on it, so that's good. The Revolution board's dense foam surface lining is nicer to stand on barefoot and has a similar width to a snowboard or skateboard. I'd say the Indo Board has a shape similar to a mini surfboard and has a rougher sandpaper-like texture. When I'm on the Revolution board, it challenges my abdominal and leg muscles to maintain tone and improves my dynamic balance abilities. I also tend to use the Revolution Board indoors more because I don't feel that it would pitch me far off the board if I were to lose balance on it vs with the Indo board, which has a higher incline due to the wider roller. Love my Revolution board!

I liked the concept of a standing desk until I tried to stand for a few days. My feet hurt. My knees locked up. I tried lunges, squats, and calf raises, but there's only so many you can do while trying to type. I researched under-desk treadmills, standing ellipticals, and steppers. The good treadmills are expensive, and hauling a 100-pound piece of machinery into the office seemed like a challenge. Plus, I didn't want to haul it out for maintenance. I hate ellipticals and steppers in the gym, so it seemed stupid to buy one for a desk. Then I realized people use balance boards. Genius! Nothing to break, nothing to maintain. It keeps your knees soft, and it lets you fidget. Mixing in calf raises and squats while reading email is easy, especially with a desk to grab if needed. I spend most of the day standing now on the inflatable disk.

A versatile, great product for the price. I'm using it for agility and and balance training in preparation for the upcoming snowboard competition season. I use it at work while on conference calls and aim to become so well balanced that I can type while balancing. After only three days of use, I'm already feeling the burn in those stabilizing muscles. The product is well designed and manufactured with quality materials. I'm very satisfied with this purchase!

Ok enough delaying the inevitable...this board rocks; literally and figuratively!!! I love it and I can't stay off of it...I'm at my desk sitting right now and its under my feet...I'm balancing, albeit slightly, while on my butt. I've had it now for 10 days.So what makes this board different or better than the other boards? The design and the company. The Revolution FIT Board design, IMHO, is nearly identical to a skateboard or snowboard so a semi-retired boarder like myself can hop on it without much fuss. But if you are not a former boarder don't let that stop you; the design/cut of the board is more approachable than the woods you'll come across. It's wider and just sticky enough with or without shoes.With regards to the company; spot on...great product and great customer service.Background:I've got a torn meniscus due to T25/Insanity. Went to 3 Drs; MRI...etc. They all recommended Physical Therapy...but my Chiro went a step further and gave me a prescription workout, which was cool/handy. One of the reoccurring exercise themes is balancing and they call for and use the Bosu in their workouts. Which is fine I have one, but they also use a smaller Bosu and balance board. This is where I started digging.After trolling online for a while I went to local place that has a very, very good selection of crazy workout stuff. They had multiple balance boards there; the smaller Reebok one, the Indo, GoFit and TheraBand just to name a few. They had more but they sealed up/still in boxes.I spent a good half hour there; the longest I played with was Indo since it was the closest to what the video exercise list was using. I spent nearly 10 minutes on it; I have GymBoss on my phone and used it (I've spent a sh*t load of money there, they know I'm picky). The Indo board is fine I just didn't love it nor the cut/design...just reminded me of an old school desk.I ended up purchasing this thing site unseen and I haven't regretted it. I've used it since day 1. In fact the day after I got it I over did it and spent an hour on it. My hips were sore the next day.
