Sports reviews of The Beam Store Pink Suede 8-Feet Gymnastics Balance Beam
Customer Review: Perfect home use balance beam!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this 8' low beam (and z-fold mat combo) directly from The Beam Store. I made the purchase on a Tuesday midday. The set arrived that very Saturday via their standard shipping methods (FedEx Ground/Home Delivery).
It took us 30 minutes to put the low legs on (mostly due to having an overly excited 7 year old 'helping')...but it went together smoothly and easily.
The mat is well made, and the beam is just stunning. My 7 year old is thrilled to have the set in the house and is already practicing her routines from gymnastics class at home. She says this beam is 'softer' than the one at her gym...I'm not sure if she's meaning the padding, or the feel of the material...but either could be a distinct difference due to the sheer wear and usage of any beam you'll see in a gym, vs a brand new piece. Either way, I'm perfectly fine with it being a bit 'softer' at home...gives her more padding so she can work the moves harder before she transfers them back to the high beam at the gym.
The set fits well along the side wall area of our living room so she can have it out all the time, but it's not in the middle of the walking path of the house. It was the same price whether we bought 'standard' colors (beige beam, blue mat) or went with something unique. I'm happy to have gone with the unique route...why not let her gym equipment be tailored for her tastes, if it's the same price as standard colors? She's already taken to walking her beam and mimicking the college gymnasts on ESPN where she can.
My ONLY concern is that the legs of the low beam bring it up off the floor exactly 2", which is the thickness of the mat in the combo we purchased. At times it seems the beam is resting on the mat...but when we graduate up later this year or early next and buy the 12" legs to raise it (already predrilled for the higher legs...woot!!!), it'll no longer be an issue.
For home practice, this is a perfect option!
Description of The Beam Store Pink Suede 8-Feet Gymnastics Balance Beam
The beam is made using cross grain laminated wood construction. This gives the beam its strength and prevents warping or twisting. No center support is needed. The core is planed and sanded to the competition oval beam shape. Our beams are built as close as possible to competition beams for a realistic training experience. This includes the padding, covering and shape. The padding is closed cell polyethylene foam. The same padding that is used on competition beams. It is covered with a heavy grade synthetic suede material. The material is durable and easy to clean. The work surface is 4 in. wide and the beam is 7 in high. The support braces are 12 in. wide and made of steel. The beam core is pre-drilled for our metal beam legs which can be added at a later date. This will make a great practice beam. Specifications: Heavy Grade Synthetic Suede Covering Padded Top Felt Padding on Support Braces Cross Grain Laminated Wood Construction Hand Planed and Sanded Core Oval Shaped Sides 8 ft. Long x 4 in. wide x 7 in. high Steel Support Braces Material seams on bottom are covered with wood trim for a finished look. No exposed staples Weight Limit 250 lbs.Built to provide long-lasting stability, this eight-foot long, low profile balance beam from the Beam Store offers a strong wood core with competition grade padding and a sturdy synthetic cover to hold up to rigorous use. Thanks to its core of cross grain laminated wood, the beam does not require a center support and will not warp or twist. This enables users to slide a cushioning mat under the beam for safety. The beam features a competition-grade, rubber padded top that is covered with heavy synthetic suede material. This durable and easy to clean covering offers traction for a stable grip. Mimicking the shape, feel, and dimensions of competition beams, the work surface measures four inches wide with rounded competition shaped sides, making it easier to transition from the training beam to a competition beam. The beam itself measures five inches high and the support braces measure two inches high by 12 inches wide for stability. The bottom of the support braces have felt padding to protect the flooring beneath. Built to make high-quality practice equipment affordable, this beam is a great option for home or gym practice use.
