Balance Board Flash Sale Saving 25% This Weekend

Balance Boards

Balance boards can come in all shapes and sizes. Ours was designed to be very small in order to make it more usable.

Our inventor, Mason Gilmour-Platt, a life long surfer and fitness expert, designed a single product that would replicate the exercises performed on multiple pieces of equipment. He created a product that is indestructible and compact enough to fit in a backpack with room for a laptop and your lunch. In doing so he also created a unique micro fitness product that is transforming the core strength of its users.

Boost Productivity

One of Londons best kept secrets. The Rooboard™ is being used by entrepreneurs and business leaders alike to boost productivity by shortening their workout times and increasing physical gains.

The compact size and unique design features enable the Rooboard to be used in almost any location at any time of day. These short muscle hacks have positively disrupted the way many people approach their fitness training and schedule their workout sessions.

The Rooboard has been an underground hit in the UK and US, selling more than 1500 units, mainly through word of mouth. The London surfers who invented, produced and distributed the first production run themselves want to share the Rooboard and its many benefits with as many fellow fitness enthusiasts as possible.

The Rooboard combines the functionality of many pieces of fitness equipment in a single portable package.

It creates instability which forces the stabiliser muscles to engage, which in turn increases the intensity of the exercises performed. This means shorter body weight workouts for increased gains. These are what we call muscle hacks.

From targeted muscle group exercises for core and balance, to HIIT and sports specific workouts the Rooboard can compliment your existing training sessions or become your single piece of goto fitness equipment.

Disruptive fitness gear to change your exercise habits

 

Disruptive fitness gear to change your exercise habits

Buy less fitness gear but do more

The Rooboard is less than half the cost of a Bosu Balance Trainer, is cheaper than most well known balance boards but has more exercise options, functionality and is truly portable.

How often is it said, that wonderfully simple design produces astonishing results. The Rooboard was designed with this in mind and it was created to perform the maximum amount of exercises possible, using a variety of different training methods.

Designed to isolate muscle groups you will increase your balance, fitness, strength, stability, and flexibility. Functional and durable, the Rooboard is the ultimate in portable fitness gear.

Balance board & Fitness platform

The Rooboard is the first balance board designed to be used for not only for balance training, but also high intensity interval workouts. We know that reactive balance and stability need to be developed. The Rooboard will change the way your body unconsciously moves, reacts and explodes into action so you can perform fearlessly, with total confidence in your capabilities.

Core & Abdominal trainer

It is an incredible core and abdominal trainer as it forces the user to continually engage the core muscles. This means the targeting the abdominal muscles with specific exercises increases the intensity markedly, leading to faster and more pronounced results.

Rehabilitation

The Rooboard is being used by professionals in the field of rehabilitation. Its small size and usability makes it ideal for a number of range of motion and strengthening exercises. It can also be used under the desk at work or while performing other tasks.

Sports specific training

Originally designed for elite surfing performance, it can be used at home, work and outdoors. Muscular imbalances can seriously hamper performance. Training with the Rooboard will allow you to identify and correct your imbalances and achieve perfect muscular symmetry and balance for your sporting activities.

Exercise At Your Leisure

Our time is precious and how we use it to improve our fitness is vital. Exercising in the best times in the best locations can mean not using a gym or fitness centre.

Being able to exercise for fitness, strength and balance last thing at night, first thing in the morning or even at work and complete a full muscle quivering workout in as little as 15 minutes is becoming the norm for many people in today’s busy world. They are also the very things the Rooboard was designed to enable us to do.

Quick Muscle Hacks For Balance And Stability

Balance Hacks

Maybe your muscular gains have plateaued. Your workouts may have become stale. Or, you could be struggling to find the time to exercise. These are indications you need a muscle hack.

Rooboard’s muscle hacks will shock your muscles and increase your strength and stability gains. It does this by creating instability which forces the stabiliser muscles to engage. This increases the intensity of your exercises and shortens your workout times.

The Rooboard was designed to empower exercise and fitness by enabling you to exercise where you like, when you like. Being able to exercise for fitness, strength and balance last thing at night, first thing in the morning or even at work and complete a full muscle quivering workout in as little as 10 minutes is becoming the norm for many people in today’s busy world. They are also the very things the Rooboard was designed to enable us to do.

Its compact size will fit in your backpack with room for your laptop and your lunch. It was designed by a Londoner to compliment busy lives and provide a disruptive alternative to the gym.

Why Balance?

With training our balance and stability can improve markedly. These subtle changes in the way our body moves around its centre of gravity and the speed in which it does so, can have a huge impact in our quality of life and sporting performances.

Balance training is functional. This means we are engaging several muscle groups at the same time using a natural flow and transition through the movements. Strength training usually involves isolating a single muscle while we apply stress to it. When we add the balance component we also engage the stabiliser muscles.

Balance and stability training will improve our posture, lower back strength, reactions, range of motion and functional strength. It will also improve our sporting performances. For sports like surfing, snowboarding and skating, balance training should be a vital part of every training programme.

The Rooboard balance board has been designed to make balance training fun, affordable and portable. The small size means it can be transported easily. The non-sink design also means it can be used on almost any surface. It can be used for balance, core, HIIT and strength workouts making it the most versatile balance board on the market. View some of the design features here. The Rooboard also has an excellent selection of workouts and exercises for your every need.

What is the Rooboard?

History

“Necessity, who is the mother of invention.”
Plato

Designed in the United Kingdom by Mason Gilmour DipSpSt, a former triathlete, fitness trainer, health club manager and life-long surfer. The Rooboard was created to fulfil specific training requirements within tight parameters. These being, it had to produce solid results, be extremely durable (in order to take a thrashing) and be easily transportable.

The Rooboard was born out of a passion to increase fitness, strength and balance. It had to increase muscular symmetry and performance for action sports like surfing, skating and skiing. And, it had to fit busy proactive lifestyles and be extremely portable, as in the daily work commute, flights, hotel rooms and those cheeky moments when you want to workout quickly and discreetly.

The Rooboard you are hopefully about to add to your fitness routine, is the culmination of many years of prototypes, testing and feedback. We think of it as the Swiss Army knife of fitness equipment – it brings many different pieces of equipment together, in one durable and functional package.

The One Fitness Product You Need To Balance Your Year
FitnessLifestyleNews

Thinking of buying a wobble board? Think again.

A New Kind Of Wobble

Most balance boards or wobble boards have either a sandpaper like grip surface or raised plastic knobbles. This makes them abrasive and uncomfortable. Many can only be used for standing exercises while wearing supportive footwear.

The Rooboard has an indented EVA grip surface which is also raised above the deck for extra shock absorption. This means it can be used in bare feet, from the hands, forearms and for seated exercises without scraping or inflaming your skin.

Rather than placing the fulcrum or instability point against the floor or ground like most balance boards or wobble boards, which can cause floor damage or sinkage (outdoors) the Rooboards instability comes from the density of the EVA balance pads and their convex contact with the underside of the deck.

The Rooboard has been designed to be used on almost all surfaces including hardwood, laminate and carpet without causing damage. It can be used with two pads or a single pad to increase the instability and intensity of the exercises.

Functional Fitness

Independent fitness start-up Surfgym launched the Rooboard Balance Board and Core Trainer after years of using alternative equipment.

Designed in the United Kingdom by Mason Gilmour-Platt DipSpSt, a former triathlete, fitness trainer, health club manager and life-long surfer. The Rooboard was created to fulfil specific training requirements within tight parameters.

Combine Balance With Power

Innovative Design

Many stabilizer boards have a sandpaper like grip surface or plastic knobs that are hard on the hands or feet. The Rooboard has an indented EVA grip surface which is also raised 3mm above the deck for extra comfort. This means it can be used from the hands, forearms, feet and for seated exercises without causing skin irritation or scratching.

The Rooboard designers wanted a product that would not damage flooring or sink into the ground when used outdoors. They solved this by placing the flat surface of the balance pads against the floor and the fulcrum point against the bottom of the deck. The pads have a calculated foam density and the use of concave and convex surfaces between the pads and deck create the perfect instability for balance and core training.
