 wobbles to AND froMay 12, 2007
By M. Jobbagy
"Follow Your Bliss - Joseph Cambell"
Wobbles just fine, dvd showed a number of ways to use it.
This is more of a balance board, for toning and working muscles if you ski, snow/skate board.
We purchased to use to help strengthen an ankle after a injury. Had been using one borrowed from someone. The one we borrowed had a much higher 'ball' underneath, making much more of an angle for rotating better.
When researching these, we found that they mostly just gave the diameter of the platform you stand on, most didn't mention how high it stood off the ground which makes a big difference.

 It's your own private physical therapist!Jun 30, 2007
By Una Cartwright
I bought this after a serious ankle sprain a year ago did not heel up well. It left me with lots of scar tissue and fears of needing ankle surgery down the line. The DVD shows you lots of great exercises for ankle strengthening and over-all balance improvement. I feel better navigating steep stairs carrying my 1 year old after just a couple workouts with it! I feel like I'll be able to ice skate and ski with my kids now! Cool!

Good tool for improving ankle range of motion and stabilityFeb 25, 2007
By Ruby
I first used a wobble board during physical therapy (post ankle surgery), and it was one of the most challenging but effective tools for me to gradually regain range of motion and stabiity. With the help of a good ankle guard (i.e. Active Ankle) I have been able to resume playing sports and avoid re-injury for over 3 years. However, since I can't wear the ankle guard with dress/business shoes, I have had some close calls.
I have decided to try the wobble board again, since it work well the first time. However, the PT version is quite expensive, so I bought the Go Fit model. I was able to play the DVD, so perhaps Go Fit has fixed the compatibility problem? It was also nice to find some of the same exercises I had learned at PT in the accompanying instructional DVD.
A word of warning... The instructor on the DVD is a bit dull, and the demonstrations are quite brief. Be prepared to hit "replay" or "pause" if you wish to work both sides of your body. On the positive side, neither the instructor nor the model tried to portray the exercises as "easy". Be prepared to work but it's probably best to start slow.

I use it every dayFeb 18, 2008
By True Grinder
This wobble board is great. There are cheaper ones out there, but they are not anywhere near as well made as this one. I have been using it for a month now. I had a problem with tendinitis in my heels, which caused me to stop running about six months ago. I have been doing Heavyhands exclusively, which is great for my upper body, but I wanted to strengthen my ankle area and maybe have less pain in my heels when I get up in the morning. Well, now the pain is almost gone and I have the wobble board to thank for it.
I should mention that this wobble board, as compared to the cheaper ones I have tried, has a greater surface area, an anti-slip surface, and sits higher off the ground than the competing wobble boards. This makes it more challenging to use. When I use it in conjunction with my Heavyhands workout, it really ramps up the intensity. I'm in better shape than when I ran every day. I may never go back to running now!

 Like the Board, Very Disappointed with GoFit Customer ServiceJul 04, 2007
By BB
"Blues Fan"
Ordered the wobble board and like another reviewer, received the board along with the DVD. The DVD is defective (will not play on any of my DVD players or computer) so I contacted GoFit directly; my thought is that I would like to keep the board and not go through hassle of returning it with DVD to Amazon, just to get a new DVD. My hope is that GoFit would agree to send me a new DVD. Well, I contacted the company through their website, and called their customer service line (did not receive a 'live' person, even though it was during normal business hours, so left a voice mail message). That was over a week ago and no one from GoFit has contacted me. Anyway, I like the board but very disappointed with GoFit customer service. Will not buy a GoFit product again.
