Fantastic board. Very well made, exactly the right size and shape, and does a great job of giving me a chance to do some at-home balance exercises without taking up all the room that the usual circular boards take up. Can't wait to terrify all my friends into thinking I've taken up skateboarding!
They say you don’t know what you had until it’s gone. I think what’s even more true is that you don’t know what you’ve been missing until you finally find it.
I purchased two custom Whirly Complete Progressive Balance Trainer & Fitness Mat Level 5 Bundles through my employer's Lifestyle Spending Account. My LSA card went straight through, making the process incredibly easy. One board stays in my home office and the other travels with me.
As a catastrophe adjuster, I need to be ready to hit the road at a moment's notice. Before this, I used a treadmill desk for years. I loved the idea, but constantly shortening my stride to type eventually started bothering my knees. That's not exactly ideal when your job can suddenly require long days on your feet in the field. Plus, a treadmill desk isn't something you can just pack up and take on the road. I needed movement that worked with me, not against me.
And now? 😁 My Whirly Board goes wherever I do.
I've always been at my best in motion. What surprised me wasn't that I enjoyed the board. It was realizing how much I had been missing. The 360-degree movement keeps my body engaged, my blood flowing, and my mind focused in a way that standing still or moving in a single plane of motion never could.
As someone with ADHD, that movement has been a game changer. When my brain is fully engaged but my body is still, all that energy and stress has nowhere to go. The 360-degree movement gives my body a productive outlet, allowing my brain to focus. I even track my wellness with the Welltory app and have personally noticed less red and more blue and green in my stress-impact reports since making the board part of my routine.
The customer experience was just as impressive. Erik was responsive, patient, and genuinely committed to bringing my custom design to life. He shared in-process photos along the way, which made the whole experience fun and engaging.
The boards have become instant conversation starters. People genuinely love both the boards and the custom design.
I didn't really know what to expect. What I found was a fun, portable way to move more, focus better, and bring more energy into my day.
Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our family loves the Whirly Board! It lives in our living room and we all take turns on it. It's surprisingly difficult to master but its worth it!
Received my board promptly. It's well packaged and the board itself is of great build quality, you can tell care has been put into making it. Functionally it's a great core exerciser and really trains one's stabilizers in the feet. Could feel muscles that haven't been activated for a long time after the first day. The complete package allows me to scale up and change things up between real training and having a more stable setup for active standup desk work.
My mom is about 80 and we’ve been working on her mobility for a while. She can already do assisted sit-ups and is focused on strengthening her legs so she can balance better on her own.
We set up a rail next to the Whirly Board for safety and security, and I stand by as well. She uses the board 3–4 days a week and is doing great—steadily improving her balance and leg strength. The board feels more controlled than a regular wobble board, which makes it a better fit for someone her age when used with proper support.
I would recommend this for someone with an elderly parent who is already reasonably mobile. It’s not ideal for someone with very limited mobility or significant balance issues without proper support and supervision. Used carefully with a rail and someone nearby, it’s been a solid part of her routine and she’s making real progress.
