BOSUNexGen 25IN Home Fitness Exercise Gym Strength Flexibility Balance Trainer with Rubberized Non Skid Surface and Hand Air Pump

I am glad that I decided to purchase the BOSU ball after careful research and a recommendation from a physical therapist. It’s possible to do almost any type of training with this ball. There are many YouTube videos for exercise ideas and BOSU has its own channel. One of the most important things to do when setting up and inflating the ball is to not inflate it higher than 8.5 inches. The packing box has a line on the side at the bottom that you can use by turning the ball flat side up and lining it up with that line to let you know you’re at the proper inflation. Over inflating it causes it to pop out of its frame and also defeats the purpose of getting maximum use of its potential. I am 70 years old and purchased this as a tool for improving and maintaining my balance to avoid the potential for falling as I grow older. It has helped tremendously with strengthening my lower body and core helping me to feel more stable. I recommend this as a perfect tool for function based exercises. I’m so glad I made the purchase (It didn’t hurt that the day I finally decided to buy it was $30 less than normal!).

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!

What a great product! I like this model better than the ones at Club Pilates. The texture and zones are so helpful. The perfect addition to my home gym!! I also got the “Get On It! Bosu Balance Trainer” book.

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) Balance2). Ab work3). Leg work4) Booty5). Heart health/high intensity workoutMy 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 problemUse 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 have enjoyed using my BOSU 25 in. NexGen Balance Trainer. After recently breaking my ankle, I was introduced to the BOSU ball at Physical Therapy. After learning some exercises and stretches that utilize the BOSU ball, I decided to purchase one for my personal home use. Since then, I have discovered an incredible amount of exercises that I can do at home to increase my mobility, range of motion, and balance, not only for my ankle, but for my whole body. I look forward to locating and trying more new exercises in the future.

Arrived with no air pump or plug. Of course, there is no option to request these missing parts so I am obliged to return the entire thing! This is my second return of a BOSU Ball, as the first one had a leak within 24 hours of opening the package. No more!

I have been using the Bosu ball at my gym for a few years now. I decided to finally purchase one for home use. I had two serious back surgies in 2020 that left me with balance issues. The Bosu ball has been absolutely amazing at helping with balance and strength training. Now i can squat one legged! I love this ball💛

The BOSU NexGen trainer is amazing! It is perfect for my rehab exercises from leg surgery. I also use it for planks and am excited to learn other core exercises from the website. I is already a valuable addition to my home gym.However, Amazon has a shipping problem. The first one came via US Postal Service in a slightly damaged box and I thought the plugs were missing. So, I ordered a replacement. In the meantime, I found the plugs inside the pump. The second ball arrived via Amazon in even worse shape. The box was damaged and showed signs of being obviously opened and resealed, In this box, =he pump was in two pieces without any plugs.Bottom line - BOSU - great purchase. From Amazon? Not so sure.
