BOSU NexGen Pro Balance Trainer

The first one I ordered didn’t hold air. It was flat by morning, every time we re-inflated it. Amazon was great about the return. I debated whether to order a replacement or get a refund, worried that the new design was faulty. I went with a replacement and am GLAD I did! The new one arrived 2 days after the old one was returned and we’ve had it a week with no re-inflation required. PROS - The ridges make this stable to stand on. I’ve been collecting YOUTUBE videos for BOSU workouts. Originally, we bought this for balance as we are getting up there in years and have no interest in going to rehab with a broken anything. Balance does decline with age. It is GREAT for balance. You can create more challenge by flipping it upside down, for a rock-n-roll surface. pretty sure this won’t be happening here, as the dome top is challenging enough! I was surprised as the versatility of the BOSU. It is great for: 1) Balance 2). Ab work 3). Leg work 4) Booty 5). Heart health/high intensity workout My personal favorites are PILATES with the BOSU. It is (almost) fun, or in the least, inspires me to do a great workout. Really, it combines the benefits of so many different pieces of equipment in one exercise piece. We used a bicycle tire inflator, as the thingy that came with was subpar. Also, the first time my husband tried to inflate, the mouth fell out loose and had to be retrieved with tweezers, but all is well. Just watch out for that. CONS - I have to put a blanket or towel over it when standing barefoot or putting my hands or body on it, because the ridges are hard and uncomfortable to bare skin or yoga pants. The towel solves the problem Use extreme caution when flipping upside down and trying to stand on it, as it is REALLY hard, and I am cautious about breaking bones from a fall. I used a long dowel to counter balance, but still found it too hard. I am super glad I purchased, and happy I went with the New Generation model, as it wasn’t much more than the older model and really is MUCH improved in durability and quality. Great home workout gadget.

I recently expanded my home gym, and I am very happy that I added this Bosu balance trainer to my collection! I have always enjoyed using Bosu balance trainers at the gym, and it is just as enjoyable to use at home. It is very quick and easy to setup, and it is pretty easy to store to keep it out of the way. It provides for a very good variety of challenging exercises, and I have found it very useful to help stabilize and strengthen my muscles as I continue with physical therapy for my knee. The extra grip on the ball and the patterns splitting the ball into quarters was a really great addition, and it makes it a lot easier for me to make sure that I am using the correct portion of the ball during every exercise. For anybody looking to add some variety and challenge to their workouts, I would highly recommend this Bosu balance trainer!

This arrived in a previously opened box. It had missing and broken parts. I contacted BOSU, and they send me replacement parts immediately. Great customer service. I use it for rehab before & after knee surgery. I am very pleased with the quality, functionality and durability while balance training. This is grippier than standard BOSU ball, which makes is easier for me to balance and not slip.

I love the BOSU ball, it is high quality, some are not. It's a great addition to my exercise routine. I am 66 years old and it's great for maintaining balance.

Ease to use, works very well for my sit-ups, ease on the lower spine.

If you can get this next generation at a less expensive price than the original bosu, then you get a great value for the price and I recommend it. Yes the texture is a great value but not absolutely needed. If the original bosu and the next generation are equal in price, then I recommend the original bosu. Original bosu appears a little bigger and more sturdy. However, don't underestimate the next generation bosu. It is still a fantastic product and am very satisfied with it. Can't tell that significant of a difference just a little bit. Definitely buy the next generation if it comes in a good price point compared to the original.

We were a bit nervous given some quality issues on the Bosu Ball reviews. We have been happy thus far. The hand pump was difficult to use on this, so we used an air compressor, and within a few seconds we had it inflated. A few weeks in and it is still keeping its air. Well made, heavy/sturdy so it won’t go anywhere on you. It ups the level of your workout, if you have plateaued, not anymore with the Bosu Ball.

Worst pumping mechanism ever. The pump leaks air as it goes and will not fill the Bosu to the 8.5 inch minimum height. Once you get the plug in after half an hour of pumping, it will not come out. I am going to try a bike tire pump, but the pumping mechanism that comes with the ball renders the product somewhat unusable. Buyer beware.

商品到着時から、この部分だけ何故か隙間があった。 ただ空気を入れてみると、空気の抜けはなかったので、少し隙間が出来たりする仕様だと思い1カ月ほど使用。 案の定、この隙間があった部分のチューブ部分から穴があき、空気が抜けるようになった。

I have always wanted the BOSU balance trainer cause I heard and seen so many good reviews on it. Am looking forward to taking my workouts to a whole new level. Thanks BOSU!

This is a good quality Bosu ball. I've worked out with it several times now; it has good grip for sweaty hands and feet while exercising. I've only used it for low impact and fairly basic barefoot routines, still have to try it with running shoes on but it's a balance challenge no matter your footwear so keep your eyes on the Bosu ball while you're working with it to stay safe. It's nice and heavy enough to make overhead lifts and burpee type combo moves challenging. I'm happy with it overall. It's pricey but I'm happy I chose to go with this Bosu ball rather than a cheaper model. It's well ridged and as stable as I believe a Bosu ball could be (keeping in mind it's meant to be a balance challenge so always watch your footing when you're working with it!) I didn't receive any DVDs with this purchase and didn't notice any d/l information of routines to follow from the manufacturer but there are plenty of good exercise routines on YouTube to follow. Choose a beginner routine for your first time until you feel more comfortable with the Bosu for sure. The ball was relatively easy to inflate; the pump that comes with it is cheap but does the job. Would be helpful if the ball came with an extra plug or two and a plug pull as well. Those are pretty cheap but very helpful items for the manufacturer to consider including as part of the package in the future. Again, I found YouTube videos helpful with advice on how to fill the ball when you first get it. Overall, a good purchase and I'm pleased with the quality and usability of this product.

Non c’è nulla di meglio per allenare l’equilibrio e non solo. Consigliatissimo!!!! Apprezzo molto anche il nuovo disegno non più liscio

Todo perfecto
