Regardless of your age or ability, daily use of a balance board or wobble board is an asset to your fitness, health and
well-being. You will experience improved balance, coordination, body awareness, core strength and stability. Personal trainers and physical
therapists from around the world recommend Fitterfirst balance training fitness equipment and rehabilitation aids. Everyone from professional
athletes to desk jockeys to seniors can improve physical fitness and overall health by engaging in balance, agility and mobility training.
Get Mobile at the Office
At work or at home, stand on a balance board while talking on the phone and you will quickly feel the effects of improved
balance in your leisure activities. It takes no extra time from your day and you will quickly enjoy the benefits of stronger ankles and better
balance. It’s like improving your golf swing or strengthening your skiing while you work at your desk.
Balance Training for Seniors
Quality of life is often equated to quality of movement. Regular use of balance boards is a great way to maintain or improve
balance, to avoid injury and improve confidence in stability and movement. For most seniors, either an intermediate 20” Wobble Board or a
Rocker Board is a good choice.
Balance Boards for Runners & Joggers
Research has proven that regular use of a balance board will dramatically enhance your strength, range of motion (R.O.M.),
stability and power in the push-off cycle. Balance boards enhance stability while reducing the risk of sudden trauma or over use injuries,
all thanks to improved proprioception and greater strength in muscles, tendons and ligaments. Using a balance board daily is like buying
insurance against future injuries.

Our Professional Balance Boards are made from high-quality 3/4" Baltic birch and have a non-slip surface suitable for use
with sports shoes or bare feet. The adjustable tri-level design offers 3 degrees of angulation. As your ability improves, just spin the
