Sports reviews of GoFit Core Disk and Training DVD
Customer Review: Great casual/portable/storable fitness item
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
(This review contains made up exercise names and references to an apartment that's probably messier than yours.)
I bought this item a few weeks ago, and I love it! I have a stability ball that I used to use, but it was so big and cumbersome that I finally deflated it because I spent more time trying to get it out of the way than I did actually exercising with it, and its constant presence was driving my partner mad. Stability balls are great if you have a lot of space, but discs take up virtually no space at all, and I think I actually get a better workout on the disc, anyway.
My favorite way to use it is while I'm listening to a book on my MP3 player. I'll stand on it for a while, then do various crunches and "upside down bike riding" and leg stretches, butt lifts with my feet or shoulders on the disc, etc. When I'm sitting around the house I sit on it on the floor. With my feet together, it's just as much if not more of a challenge to stay balanced as it was on the stability ball.
And the best part of it is, when I'm done using it I can put it under a chair, toss it onto a pile of laundry, or just leave it in the middle of the floor because it's so easy to step over and doesn't stub toes in the middle of the night. Since my favorite time to exercise is right before bed, that gives this piece of equipment a definite advantage as far as I'm concerned!
As far as comparing this stability disc to others, I haven't tried any others so I can't give you a definitive on that. However, I can say that it stands up well to my 2-year-old jumping on it, and my 275lb partner feels comfortable and safe using it. I love the massage side (and the fact that the other side is actually flat.) Also, the alignment of the brand name on the flat side and the place where the air goes in on the other side mean that I can step up on it with confidence knowing that I won't end up with my foot on the internal valve stem.
I've lost 50 lbs in the past 5 months. Although I didn't have the stability disc for that entire time, and most of my loss was due to dietary monitoring, I feel confident saying that the sort of exercises I do on this disc are what has really helped me to tone up as I've lost weight, and I definitely plan to continue spending lots of time on it!
Customer Review: Useful for far more than I expected
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
As several reviewers mention, this disk works well as a back support. I've tried several lumbar supports that are actually intended for that purpose and this one works better than them all! I love how a piece of equipment so small and portable is so versatile.
I've found a variety of ways to use this disk. For example you can lie with it under your hips (on the floor) for a nice stretch. Of course you can do standing balance work on it, but you can also use it as a head rest in lying down stretches or experiment with placing it under different parts of the body in floor exercises. I also use it conjunction with the two little green balls that come with the Miracle Ball Method by Elaine Petrone. There are even more things I could do with these disks if I just had two instead of one. In short, this little piece of exercise equipment is useful for far more than I imagined when I bought it!
The disk is good quality, and after reading many reviews for others that mentioned problems, I've been glad I purchased this one. Though I haven't needed to add air, I'm glad that I can if I want to. (some companies makes disks that you can't adjust).
Customer Review: You can't go wrong with this!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
For the price and size of this; not to mention the simplicity!!-you just can't go wrong!! I haven't even tried the DVD that came with it, I've just gotten ON it! While trying to keep my balance, (on one leg, or sitting) I do a variety of things--leg lifts, knee to chest--or while sitting, I try to maintain a 'V' with my legs and uppper body. I can FEEL my muscles working, even if I'm just standing on one leg! As I've gotten older, I don't seem to be as coordinated, and this is really helping. I highly recommend it. Just try different positions, balance yourself, and try to do it for several minutes a day. It does a world of good!Customer Review: Get your Balance Back
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This disk is not for the very obese or people just starting to exercise. I am over 45 and purchased this to get my balance back. Even while trying to stand on the disk and trying to keep steady I can feel my leg and stomach muscles working. Have a chair close by to help steady yourself in the beginning while trying to stand on the disk. It will be quite awhile before I am able to do half of the exercises demonstrated. The disk is great to put under your back while lying on the floor to stretch aching back muscles.Customer Review: Good balance tool for training
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This product fit the bill for me in seeking something like a wobble-board, but not quite as difficult. It is a partially-inflated cushion (with the usual air hole to add or remove air) with a smooth side and a nubby side, made of strong plastic. It can be used standing on one or both feet, and the enclosed, well-made DVD provides many useful additional exercise suggestions for other parts of the body.
