Description
Overview
The Avaro Balance Board 16" is a floor-standing balance trainer sized at 16 in, about 40 cm across, that ships at around 1 kg. It is listed for balance practice and as part of a rehabilitation programme, and Avaro groups it with speed and agility training gear rather than heavy fitness equipment.
In a PE setting it works as a station in a circuit: students step on, hold a still position, then add arm movements or catches. Browse our stability & balance range for Swiss balls and beams that pair with it.
Key benefits
- Trains ankle and core stability on a footprint small enough to store on a shelf.
- Progress difficulty by narrowing stance or closing eyes rather than buying new gear.
- Suits supervised rehabilitation programmes as well as PE and sports conditioning.
- Light at about 1 kg, so it travels easily between classrooms or to training.
Who it's for
PE teachers running balance or fundamental movement stations, coaches adding proprioception work to warm-ups, and physiotherapists or trainers prescribing balance drills in a rehabilitation programme. It is a training aid rather than playground equipment, so use it on a flat floor and supervise younger students. It comes from the Avaro range of fitness gear.
Care, safety and set-up
Use on a flat, non-slip floor with clear space around the user, and have a wall or partner nearby for first attempts. Wipe clean after sessions and check the board for damage before each use.
Frequently asked questions
Is this suitable for rehabilitation use?
It is listed for use as part of a rehabilitation programme as well as general balance practice, but follow your physiotherapist's guidance on how and when to use it.
Can I buy several for a class circuit?
Yes. Quantity pricing applies on many lines, and you can add boards to a quote and request a quote for a whole PE department fit-out.
