Philosophy Gym Wooden Balance Board with Stoppers

Overview

This Philosophy Gym balance board measures 29 by 11 inches with a separate 21 inch roller, rated to 300 pounds, and uses adjustable stoppers to set the rocking distance at 13, 17 or 22 inches.

Unlike a board with a fixed pivot, this one lets you change how far the roller can travel underneath, so the same board can be set up tighter for a beginner or looser for someone chasing a more surf-like challenge. That adjustability is the main thing that separates it from simpler fixed-stance balance boards.

• 15-ply pressed wood construction
• Adjustable stoppers at 13, 17 and 22 inches
• 300 pound weight capacity
• Anti-slip surface, board and roller

Who it's for

Works for surfers, skaters, snowboarders, gymnasts and anyone cross-training for balance and core stability, since the stance distance can be dialed in as skill improves. Complete beginners who want a single fixed setting rather than adjustable stoppers may prefer a simpler board.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The adjustable stoppers set how far the roller can travel under the deck, giving three stance distances rather than one fixed range, which lets the same board work for a beginner set tight or an experienced user set loose. Both the board and the 21 inch roller use an anti-slip surface, and the 15-ply wood construction is rated to hold up to 300 pounds.
