Hi, I have a Beleboom Balance Trainer and I love it! I got the black one. I've have it for around two months now and I am still loving it, I have used it since I got it quite often, sometimes 5 times a week, sometimes a bit less. It is very sturdy, max capacity is 800lbs, and it feels and looks well build (quality), I have used it with Bosu DVDs, Step 360 DVDs, and any other DVD that has burpees, bridges, etc. I can't compare it to a Bosu since I have never had one. I have had 2 Step 360 in 5 years and they both cracked (unfortunately), I liked it so much that I considered investing in the pro version, but I wasn't sure it would be better build. So I went with the Beleboom instead, I find it definitely more challenging than the Step 360, I also got this one because it was cheaper for me (I am in Canada), there was a sale plus $10 off, and reviews were all good, I contacted the company with some questions and I they replied quickly. So far, I have been very pleased with my purchase. HTH

Thank you for sharing this info AsSweet. I was actually looking at that half ball. I think it was a different listing.
I’m also looking at THIS ONE. It comes in black, lists 600 pounds as max weight and doesn’t have the bungees, though that doesn’t bother me. I think it’s a little smaller too and seems a bit heavier than the Beleboom. There aren’t any reviews either. Is your Beleboom really as light as they say it is?

When I followed your link the price for the Beleboom was $109.99+ but there was a coupon for 10% off so it ended up being around $99.99, which is what I initially saw as the price.
I’m not sure this link will work but it’s now showing up for $99.99 with a $10.00 off coupon. Very tempting.

I had a real Bosu for a long time and another family member wanted it, and I wasn’t using it enough anyway, so I gave it away.
Then recently I decided to pick up an off brand (this one: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Choice-P...0120612&sr=8-2). The price was right. Having had the Bosu, in my opinion the cheap one is more challenging to use because the ball part is taller and more bubbly if that makes sense, I remember the Bosu brand dome being firmer and slightly flatter. I actually like the knock off better since I get a really big balance challenge on this one. The negatives of the knock off are that the base (when dome side down) isn’t comfortable on the hands like the Bosu was with the molded handles. The band things are incredibly cheap and I haven’t even attempted to use them-the amazon reviews also warned of the cheap bands but I wasn’t interested in them anyway. I didn’t want to go all out with an investment since I knew I wouldn’t use it all the time, but so far I’m using it maybe twice a week and very satisfied.

Mine has been in the living room since I got it I sometimes do some balancing moves while watching tv.

My link is also showing the new price, I got it a that price in CAD$, $60 CAD less than the Bosu. I just weighted it on my scale, the weight they listed is accurate (11.5 lbs). How much does weight a Bosu? Also they said to not over inflate (22cm max), I pumped mine to 20cm and it feels firm enough, I didn't want to go to close to the max, since I saw a few Bosu reviews with the domes out of its frame, that scares me.
