At the gym I used the BOSU on and off. At physical therapy, they showed me how to use it to get an effective cardio, core and stability workout. I am hooked. It is easy to assemble - follow the directions. The video is good to get you started but you may not be ready for even the easiest that they show. It is hard but the results are swift. The best part is that once you know what to do, it is always challenging. I am a tiny 53 year old woman who needs to practice stability and I am in good shape. This is great. EDon't forget to use both sides and always wear proper foot gear.

This is NOT the Pro trainer 65 cm. The one I received was 55 cm.

The product, first of all is well made and durable. The amount of exercises for your entire body, especially your core, are virtually endless. Both I and my clients love it!

This is a must have for any gym. Using it really ramps up your workout. By having to stabilize yourself while on it, you use more muscles, thereby burning more calories. Love it!!

Even though my trainer has come up with some abusive exercises using this Bosu, I can't blame the Bosu and I must say that it is a versatile, durable product (so far, anyway. I've had it for about 6 mos). After reading the reviews about the "home" version of this equipment, I decided to pay a little extra and get the professional one. I like it and it is just like the ones in the gym. It came with a book(let) and dvd of exercise suggestions, but I haven't used them because (as I said) I rely on my trainer, but it seems to be well made and it looks like the manufacturer spent some time putting the book together. Well done.Excellent product offering challenging exercise options.

The Bosu was recommended to me by my chiropractor due to balance issues I have. I tried a couple other products prior to using this one and there is no comparison. The Bosu is challenging but the fun factor is definitely there. I watch tv while doing my balance exercises and the time passes quickly. Since you can turn the item over, you get two different types of balance exercises and you definitely can tell after you're done that you've used some core muscles you weren't using before. The abdominal exercises are definitely a challenge also. It has surely helped me with my balance problems. Give it a try!

excellent piece of exercise equipment, however it leaks a bit and has to be reinflated every several weeks

Exceptional quality, very sturdy.The last 'bosu' ball we purchased for our clinic lived a short life. We feel very confident that this BOSU Pro Basic will hold up much better.

The Bosu Unit gives you a great workout. It shows you how to workout at all levels, how to vary the exercise and how to make it fun. I highly recommend this trainer for a good at home and with friends. Well worth the money!

I got this Bosu after trying it out at my gym. It is of the same quality as the one I use there. Great service from the shipper.

First off, I must note that I did some research prior to investing in this...those who have had issues with product separating from base have overinflated their bosu. Read instructions prior to inflation and it will explain this. A friend who is a personal trainer (who talked me into investing in the bosu) said even working the Bosu with all clients she hadn't had the issue EVER so I trusted the info to be accurate and took the leap. Glad I did!It is a rare day I use the words "fun" and "workout" in the same sentence but this sure gels those two oxymorons together. It is great fun and, according to my heart rate monitor, gave me one major workout when I did the dvd or use it on it's ownBut better yet? The time flew by! I loved using it and...wow, it's like skiiing...those who ski know you utilize muscles you can't in any other way via the movements that aren't the "norm". Same thing here. I work out daily yet the first time I used the bosu the next day I felt that I had one great workout with muscles aching (in a good way) that I never had used before.I gave away my aerobic step after using my bosu a few times. This is so much better. Now I use the bosu during any workout dvd that calls for a step. Not only do you utilize more muscles during your workouts (and all new muscle built burns extra calories...win/win) but the trampline-like feel makes it fun and the dome shape adds a core and balance workout that you'd never get otherwise.There are a few gadgets I invested in this year that I kiss myself for being smart enough to get and this is one. (my kindle comes in second)the best part is I use it during many of my other workout dvds now just to burn more calories and use more muscles...AND it takes so many workout moves up a notch. Like ab moves...you are no longer hindered by the floor so you can lean across the bosu to do crunches and work twice as many muscles because of the range of motion, push ups with the bosu turned upside down works more of your core because you engage more muscles when doing the moves. (plus it makes it way more fun...whenver my workout dvds instruct me to go to the floor for plank or pushups or ab work I do them on the bosu!)love it! A great "fitness toy"!!(p.s. I do extensive reading and research before buying anything...especially when it comes to fitness...explore the web and fitness magazines. This is, without question, universally a positive addition to whatever you are using now.)

I've been working out with high intensity for years, and I'm always looking for new tools/methods to reach that ever next higher level. After adding my BOSU to the mix, the performance bar was raised across the board. Whether standing on it to lift weights, or performing body weight movements (pushups, squats, lunges) - all of the stability muscles are forced to fire. This creates a positive synergy throughout any movement, causing you to burn more calories by working more muscles. This is a must-have for any aspiring athlete - or anyone looking to take their personal game up to the next level.

Look out! I ordered and paid for the PRO version of the BOSU trainer as described above and was sent the home version with a different DVD and not the thick commercial instruction manual/Integrated Workout Manual. I called their 800# off their web site and it is disconnected!!!!! I could have picked this one up at Target for 30 less a week ago!

This is the exact same one you will find at your gym. Very high quality, much better than the home version. I strongly recommend this BOSU to anyone looking to buy one.

This will knock your socks off. It is a wonderful way to build up your balance level, and take some pounds off as well. It's fun, and will add a little fun to your workout. Love it!

Bosu seems to be very sturdy. Excellent for improving your balance. Took it to my personal trainer and he has come up with many ideas for how to use it. Glad I bought it!

We received the item at Christmas, 2008. We, my wife and I started using it 3 times weekly and were enjoying it. We did have some problem with the air leaking, but when it got too low, we would pump it back up to the prescribed height. I had used it yesterday morning, and put it away. This morning, I got downstairs, pulled the Bosu out and the ball was separated from the base around 50 %of the base. It sticks up in the air and I am not wanting to repair it as it could cause a problem. Am still awaiting for Bosu to get back in touch with me.

My workout place has these balls as part of an exercise program. I bought this one so I could use it at home. I used to get lower back aches--core problems--and this ball has made all of the difference in the world. After using it, my backaches have disappeared. My husband has also been using it with the same results.
