SlackBlock Review: Next Level Balance Skills Tool?

[@TarHeelTrees]

Thank you for the review. I just got mine and these things are harder than they look.

[@LifeMaximus]

Yeah, how could a block of foam with a slab of wood on top be hard to stand on? You are right, it is deceptively challenging. I think its a great tool. Enjoy!

[@franexley4373]

Are you still using it one year later and any updates to share?

[@LifeMaximus]

Yes, I am still using the SlackBlock. When I first got it I went through their suggested routine of 2 minutes in each of the three positions on each foot. I did that for about two weeks and it definitely helped my balance. Since then I've been using the SlackBlock during the rest periods between sets on my strength days. It is definitely helping my balance and I expect that I will keep using it moving forward. Bottom line is that I'm glad I got it! Hope that helps.

Great video thank you. Helped me decide to order one

[@LifeMaximus]

Glad to be of help. It's a great balance training tool. Let us know how it's going once you've had some time to use it.

[@madbadtrad7746]

is this any better than a balance board with a center pivot point?

[@LifeMaximus]

I can't compare directly as I've never had a center pivot board but this is a very good tool for improving balance.

Nice review. Had seen these before. Recently started boxing (at 48 🙄) and discovered my balance needs work. Think i could benefit from this product. Thank you for the information. Well done Sir!

[@LifeMaximus]

I think this will definitely improve your balance and agility. It's amazing how all the little muscles in your feet, ankles and legs are activated by using this. Glad you found the video useful. Happy Boxing!

How would you compare this to the Giboard or a traditional slack line? Thank you!

[@LifeMaximus]

Unfortunately, I can't give an opinion on that because I've never used a slack line or Giboard. Maybe someone else can relate their experience. What I can say is that I find the SlackBlock to be a great way to improve balance!

Would this work for a kid that's 90lbs? Curious if that would be enough weight to make the foam unstable.

[@LifeMaximus]

Hi Daniel. I think it might work. There are some inserts on the bottom that can be removed to make the platform less stable. I haven't done that yet myself as I'm still finding it unstable enough. You could probably check their website or shoot them a message if you want. Thanks for your comment and let me know how it's working if you end up getting it.

[@bilaltahir9978]

Have you removed the inserts yet after many months of use? Do you find you need to do that as without it may be too easy after several months?

[@LifeMaximus]

I still have the inserts in my SlackBlock. It's still wobbly enough for me. I probably will get to the point where I will need to remove them but I'm not there yet.

promo code?

[@LifeMaximus]

I don't know of a promo code. You can do a search and maybe find one on your own.

This was a good review, both well-made and informative. You didn't include any fluff which i appreciate. This was the best review of this product that i found. I think it's going to help with my skateboarding.

[@LifeMaximus]

Glad you enjoyed the review and found it helpful. The SlackBlock is a neat balance training tool that works. I'm really enjoying using it and it has definitely helped me improve my balance. If you are a skateboarder I bet you will see some benefits. Thanks for watching and commenting and have fun skateboarding!
