About the Gyroboard
The Gyroboard is an all-in-one sports board training tool for use in the sporting,
fitness and rehabilitation market, by people of all ages and abilities. It combines
the best features of balance, wobble and rocker boards.
The unique Gyroboard braking mechanism allows the rotation and tortion of the board
to be slowed down, or securely locked into one position for safe exercising. The
mechanism also has adjustable rubber mounts, allowing the deck to be set at different
degrees. This means the user can control the speed and stability of the equipment.
The versatility of the Gyroboard means that exercises can be tailored for each individual
user and is ideal for a complete exercise session. Once they are shown how to use
the equipment, they can confidently use it without supervision, freeing up trainers,
physiotherapists and coaches.
The Gyroboard with its flat deck is safer for ankle strengthening exercises, due
to the fact that you cannot roll your ankles as often happens on many other balance
training tools on the market which rely on their round surfaces to cause instability.
With its secure locking pin, the Gyroboard offers a fun and safe way to achieve
this and challenge and improve the user’s sense of balance, and quickly gets them
into being active.
Why do you need good balance?
Balance is an essential element of life, not to mention a critical component to
all sports and fitness training programmes. The Gyroboard challenges the proprioceptive
system and strengthens the neural links within the body. It helps improve quality
of life and reduce injury risk, both in sport and through every day activities.
This is because when you’re on an unstable surface like the Gyroboard, the parts
of the body and brain that are responsible for developing your sense of balance
are stimulated and improved.
The versatility of the Gyroboard also aids in core strengthening, co-ordination
and agility, as well as improving balance, confidence and assisting with weight
loss and muscle toning. Using an all-in-one training tool like the Gyroboard will
challenge and strengthen every muscle in your body, unlike other popular gym or
exercise equipment.
The Gyroboard is perfect for using in your own home, and will save money on your
gym membership. It is smaller than a rowing machine, treadmill, exercise ball and
most other home gym exercise equipment. Best of all, it packs away into the Gyroboard sports bag supplied.
Warning: Gyroboard is so much fun you won't need to pack it away at all.
This sports board trainer is a safe and effective training tool for all sports,
and everyone will benefit from using the Gyroboard, no matter their existing level
of fitness, chosen sport, activity, or athletic inclination.
The Gyroboard is a genuine, patented New Zealand invention and is patent pending
in several other countries.
Eight years of development and testing in New Zealand have resulted in a quality
product with proven results and a 12 month limited warranty.
