Why it works

Balance isn’t one thing

Balance is three skills. The SlackBoard trains all three.

  • Static balance

    Steady

    Holding still on something that moves.

    Stability: practice the small corrections that keep you steady.

    2× more steadiness on an unstable surface1

    On the board: Two lines, hold

  • Dynamic balance

    Reach

    Moving without losing your base.

    Strength: a full-body, low-impact workout for ankles, legs and core.

    3× bigger gain in dynamic balance1

    On the board: One line, reach and step

  • Reactive balance

    React

    Catching a wobble and recovering.

    Confidence and focus: quick corrections, a clear head.

    On the board: One line, tricks and flows

How it works

Your brain and body, working together

The line moves under your feet, so your body learns to react instead of brace. Sessions take minutes, not hours.

The unique movement and feedback challenge the vestibular system, helping adults improve their balance more effectively than traditional balance training methods.

    Great for working on my core

    It's been great for working on my core while I'm working from home. I'll hop on and off as I take calls or when I need a break from my desk and screens. I'm excited to try some yoga poses once my core and balance improves a bit. Highly recommend!

    Fun challenge!

    I’m in my mid 40’s and want to improve my balance; I can feel my balance, focus, and reaction time improving already. There is a slackline at the bouldering gym that I want to work up to.

    Fun and effective

    This thing is great. I’ve been messing around with it for a few weeks now and already notice a big difference in my balance while snowboarding.

Questions, answered

Is it good for beginners?

Yes! The low-to-the-ground design makes the SlackBoard great for beginners. Even though balancing on the line is challenging, because your foot is so close to the ground, it's easy to restart once you lose your balance.

SlackBoard or SlackBoard Plus?

The original SlackBoard has one line and is great if balance training is your main goal. Even a few minutes a day works your lower body and core. The SlackBoard Plus comes with two lines for a wider, more stable platform. Most first-timers find it easier, and it’s great for squats, standing desks, kids, and older adults. When you’re ready for more of a challenge, use the included clip to switch it to a single line. It’s like getting two boards in one.

Where can I use it?

Just about anywhere! Use it on hard floors, carpet, outdoors, even at the beach. Since it’s made of wood, keep it out of the rain and don’t leave it in direct sunlight for long periods.

How often should I use it?

Even a few minutes a day makes a difference. In an 8-week UCLA study, people who added 15–20 minutes of SlackBoard training three times a week improved their balance more than people who trained with other balance trainers. Read the study.

Is the app really free?

Yes. The free GIBBON app includes 100+ training videos with programs for kids, adults, and seniors. It’s available on iOS and Android, with no subscription required.

How big is it?

The SlackBoard is compact and easy to move or store.

  • Dimensions: 42" L x 11" W x 5.5" H
  • Weight: 7.5 lb (3.4 kg)
Is setup required?

Nope! Your SlackBoard arrives fully assembled, with the line already installed and tensioned. Just unbox it and step on.

Every board includes a tensioning dowel and instructions to re-tension anytime. The SlackBoard Plus and Pro also include everything you need to switch between one- and two-line setups.
