    Unique entertainment / fun!

    Such a unique way to engage my kiddos and keep them entertained and active! As an RN, I understand the importance of limiting screen time and increasing cognitive and physical activity. I'm super stoked to add this to my family's list of entertainment!

    My kids love this

    I bought this for my oldest daughter (13) who wants to work on her balance and my other two daughters (11 and 7) have taken it over. They all love it. They play on it a lot while watching tv too. Makes a sedentary activity much more active.

Questions, answered

Is the SlackBoard good for kids?

Yes. Kids build balance, coordination, and confidence while they play, and the low profile makes it easy to step off. It’s a fun, screen-free way to burn off energy, and the free GIBBON app includes programs for kids.

SlackBoard Single or Duo for my child?

The SlackBoard Single (one line) is a great choice if balance training is your main goal. Even a few minutes a day challenges your balance while working your lower body and core.

Want more stability and versatility? The SlackBoard Duo comes with two lines for a wider, more stable platform. Most first-timers find it easier to get started on, and it’s great for workouts, squats, standing desks, kids, and older adults. You can also easily switch to a single line when you’re ready for more of a challenge. It’s like getting two boards in one.

Who are GIBBON products for?

GIBBON is for all ages and ability levels, from kids and first-timers to athletes and older adults. If you’re new to balance training or want more stability, the SlackBoard Duo is a great place to start.

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.

Where can they 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 big is it?

The SlackBoard is compact and easy to move or store.

  • Dimensions: 108 cm L x 28 cm W x 14 cm H
  • Weight: about 3.4 kg
  • Maximum load: 120 kg
Is setup required?

A short one-time setup: put the line on and tension it, following the instructions in the box. It takes about 10 minutes, and you can re-tension the line anytime the same way.

Prefer to skip it? Add the Setup Service and your SlackBoard arrives assembled, ready to step on. The SlackBoard Duo also includes everything you need to switch between one- and two-line setups.

What’s your return policy?

We’re confident you’ll love your SlackBoard. If it’s not the right fit, you can return it within 30 days. See our returns policy and withdrawal form, or contact us for help.
