Basic Bosu Balance Trainer vs BOSU Pro Balance Trainer
The Basic Bosu Balance Trainer version is a lighter blue, and the BOSU Pro Balance Trainer is a darker silver-blue. Uniquely, the basic model has a black base with six rubber feet to prevent it from slipping on the floor. However, the Pro version’s gray base is smooth and made from a non-skid material that won’t mark your floor. Similarly, both devices are 25 to 26 inches in diameter, depending on the model year — the 2013 versions are 26 inches — and 12 inches high when the domes are fully inflated.
Reliably, both versions feature a weight limit of 300 pounds.
See my client images of people weighing over four-hundred pounds standing on the Bosu Pro Balance Trainer. In 2009 at the IDEA World Fitness Conference, I took got my seven Bosu Pro Balance Trainers which are Professional grade BOSU Balance Trainers! Apparently, we are still using them daily for clients of up to 500 pounds. So, I have yet to replace any of the original seven with nearly two decades of outdoor heavyweight use.
Needless to say, I LOVE my Bosu Pro Balance Trainers and every client gets a proper orientation.
My client orientation includes standing in a doorway while holding onto the door frame. This is my tried-and-true effective method for everyone initially. The progression leads to outdoors free-balancing.
As a result, all my weight loss retreat clients buy a Bosu to continue balance training when they return to their own homes. Definitely, the Bosu is on my top favorite fit toy list.
So, let’s recap the Bosu PRO specifications:
- Extremely durable for use in facilities or personal training.
- Supports up to 300 lbs.
- Commercial warranty on defects.
- Includes exercise manual.
- Dark blue with black base. 25″ diam. 15 lbs
So in general, the Bosu is currently used in health, fitness, sports conditioning and rehabilitation facilities, and known industry-wide for training balance.
Also, they are useful for building strength, fine tuning skills for sport, enhancing flexibility, and delivering killer cardio workouts. The BOSU® Pro Balance Trainer challenges the entire body with integrated, multi-joint movement that requires muscle groups to work together.
