More and more people on my social media feed are starting to venture back into the real world. However, I’m not one of those people. I don’t know if it’s just me being paranoid or overly cautious, or maybe the pandemic has turned me into a certified introvert, but I can’t seem to bring myself to plan a beach trip just yet. Fortunately, there are products in the market today that can somehow bring beach vibes to the comforts of our own homes. One such product is Balanse Fitness’s balance board.

Balanse Fitness (pronounced ba-lan-seh) is all about active fun. Pre-pandemic, many of us enjoyed activities like surfing at the beach; but after the pandemic hit, we found ourselves stuck at home looking for things to do. That’s when the owners of Balanse got the idea to bring the beach to our backyards by offering a complete balance board set at an affordable price.

To be honest, balance boards look quite intimidating. However, the minute you try your hand at it (or your feet, rather :p), you’ll come to find that it’s hella fun. I’d suggest staying close to someplace you can hold onto on your first few tries just to get your groove going. After that, however, you’re sure to love the experience every single time. It’s challenging at first, sure; but who doesn’t love a fun challenge, am I right?

When I first saw Balanse’s balance boards, I honestly thought that they could only be used in one way: like a surfboard. It turns out the board is a versatile product that you can use in a wide variety of ways. The team shares, “We wanted to make sure that our set provided people with lots of flexibility for all kinds of workouts, not just balance training or training for surfing. We encourage our customers to use our mats for yoga and other exercises. Our light roller can also serve as a foam roller for tight muscles. Some people have also been getting creative by doing squats and push-ups while balancing. We even had customers who’ve tried hula-hooping, playing electric guitar, and working on a standing desk, all while balancing on our board.” How cool is that? Talk about value for money!

The owners of Balanse explain: “We wanted our OG Balanse set to be a complete package for fitness and fun at home. We chose the products that were the best quality available while providing a price that was affordable so that more people of all ages and fitness levels can get on a board.” Well, they have definitely succeeded because even my 11-year-old daughter couldn’t resist getting on the board and trying it out herself the minute she saw it. Fitness aside, it has also turned into a learning experience and a bonding experience for the two of us.

Riding a balance board is a great experience while also being a fun alternative to the usual home workouts. Not only that, it’s the best value balance board available with a whole set that includes a balance board, roller, yoga mat, and canvas bag all for only Php2,850. Now, anyone can bring the beach back without breaking the bank.
