 Buyer Beware!!! October 26, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I purchased the Bosu Balance Trainer Home Version from amazon.com on October 14, 2008. It arrived about a week later and I was eager to get started. I carefully followed the inflation instructions and used my owner's manual as a guide to determine the proper height of the dome. I read the entire manual, watched the DVD and then used the Bosu for 1 half hour workout. I stored it in a corner of my work out area (away from direct sunlight as instructed) in my air conditioned apartment.
This morning, two days after my last workout (my first and only workout) I retrieved my Bosu only to find that it had come unstuck from the base. The bottom is no longer flat and there is no way I can get the edges back into the space along the rim of the base. It looks like the glue that was used very sparingly to adhere the dome to the base didn't hold for very long after I inflated it. As indicated by some other users the pump is very cheaply constructed and is less effective at deflating the Bosu than inflating it.
The idea behind Bosu is fantastic and I have used one repeatedly in the Gym so this problem makes me think that the manufacturers made an inferior product for home use because they believed it wouldn't be used as much. However, after paying almost $100 or a product I should be able to get more than ONE use out of it.
Like I said, "Buyer Beware". If I had read a review like this one I might have paid extra for the commercial version. I hope this review saves someone else from the needless expense and frustration that I have experienced with this product.
 Great item! I LOVE IT! September 9, 2008

This ball is amazing. You can do so many things with it. I severely broke my ankle a couple years ago and unfortunately never fully healed. This ball helps me work on balance and strengthening the area, as well as just being an amazingly fun workout! Small enough to fit in a little place for a quick workout, and fit in the closet afterwards. Well worth the price!

Nice product for the home gym or living room.
Very effective in improving balance and improving core stability. Being able to use both sides for various exercises offers a wide range of exercises for little floor space. It can be stored on its edge or hung on the wall to conserve space.
I personally set it up in front of the TV and challenge myselt to balance on one foot during an entire commercial break then go to the other foot during the next commercial break.
Every home gym should have one August 18, 2008

I consider the Bosu to be an essential piece of equipment for any gym, including a home gym. Maintaining proper balance is important for any sport, as well as general health and fitness. I do mostly crossfit training at the gym, and the Bosu gets incorporated in as many of my exercises as possible.
Also, Amazon had by far the best price online. Shipping was fast.

I was very skeptical at first that this ball would perform all that it said, but because of the wonderful reviews I got the ball anyway. I got the ball for aerobic and abs work and it does a wonderful job on both. With this one item you can benifit at least two ways, you can get a good workout and raise your heart rate and also work your abs with this one product so I would certainly recomend this product.
