First I will say that I’m not great at planking at all, but that is why I bought this item. I’ve used it for about two weeks now, and I can plank a little longer than when I first started, so I can tell I’m getting stronger. The device itself is pretty simple. It is made from four pieces of plywood and had a very nice foam top. No complaints at all with the build quality. It also came with a thin foam sheet to go under the plank to keep it from slipping. I’m not sure that the plank is worth what I paid on its own, but the plank combined with the app it uses is definitely worth it. The app has a variety of modes, but I’ve really only used two so far. The video games are great and make the time go by much faster than just holding the position and suffering through the time. All of the games are based on moving left or right and holding at various angles, but they are unique enough to keep it fresh. The games hold your high score, so you know at the end if you beat your best workout. The other function I’ve used is the workout function which has you do an exercise for a specified amount of time. It had me do mountain climbers for 30 seconds, which again gives some variation and keeps you engaged. I haven’t tried it, but I did also see it has a challenge mode where it will give a progressively more difficult workout each day log your progress. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase, since it is causing me to do a core workout that I would typically not be doing. Everything about this is high quality and although it seemed a little pricey to me, I’m very glad that I purchased this item.

I was hesitant to buy this because there are other plank boards here on Amazon that look almost identical to this for cheaper. What I like about the Plankpad is that it is bigger than the cheaper ones, it looks like it has more padding and it comes with a floor mat. I like that it is bigger because I use it at my standing desk which really helps me stay moving. I just balance, do squats or try to stand on one leg. I can definitely feel it in my core just trying to balance on it. The plank/app part is really cool! They have a workout mode where you can pick your time and they have a video of different exercises to try during that timeframe, such as mountain climbers for 30 seconds. They have the games you can play which are pretty entertaining. And they have the 30 day challenge where you go on daily and it shows you how long to do planks each day. I try to do the games, daily challenge and at least one of the workouts daily. You also can screen mirror to your tv so you can stand while playing the games and see what you are doing much easier. I have not figured this out yet with my phone. Overall I really like it. If I was just using it for planks I probably would go the cheaper route but being that I can stand on this comfortably all day also, makes it worth every penny to me.

I was looking for a unique gift idea for my son and his wife for Christmas and came across these in a blog somewhere. What a cool idea! After watching the video I decided to get one for my son and one for me and my husband, as well. They came quickly and were exactly as described. I immediately wrapped one for Christmas and got the other one out to try out. The download of the app was easy. The app itself is well laid out and very user friendly. The content needs built and it would be nice for the timers to be audible (or have a tone when they end) but I expect that to improve because it seems very well done. The board itself is incredibly sturdy feeling. The padding is thick and comfortable and I haven’t had any issues with discomfort on my forearms. It’s substantial enough that you feel safe standing on it. I store it in the box it comes in because it is a well made box with nice closure. We slide it under the couch when done. Now for the workout....!!!! Everything is sore. Everything. I love it. Both my husband and I downloaded the app and we compete back and forth by laying face to face with the board between us. The only downside to that sometimes we aren’t able to hold the plank as long because we burst into laughter. Who knew planking could be fun?! The distraction of the games truly does make the time fly by. We love how little time we need to spend each day to really feel a good, all over burn. We were missing a poster in one of the boxes so i reached out to the company. I received a reply the very same day asking for my address and then informing me the poster was on its way! I highly recommend!

The concept is simple and I can't believe I didn't think of this myself. A distraction that leads to better results...well that is what the Plankpad does with its games and workouts. I really like this product! The only negative is that after 3 mins or so you wish the padding was a little thicker. That would be my only suggested improvement as your forearms feel the wood through the pad.

My grown daughter and grown grandchildren have all tried this and loved this and want this. And they're all impressed because I'm moderately good at it and that's because I do it every time I run the microwave or let the dogs out... I do it where it tilts side to side then I turn on it and do it front to back... the key to working your core (in my experience) is to focus on your core and feel how differently it works the core when your hands are above your head, beside your head, shoulder height, etc... right on down the body... because you can absolutely feel it working your upper core the higher your hands are and your lower core the lower your hands are. My daughter and grandkids keep focusing on their legs, so their legs get sore, but I focus on my core and my legs don't feel it hardly at all and I can be rolling in bed at night with hard worked core muscles. I take the next day off when I've done too much like that. You want to feel a little sore, not a lotta sore. Now let's talk about the benefits to your posture and balance the rest of the day.... SUPERB. I notice I'm sitting up straight and beautiful even on the toilet... slouching doesn't feel as good and if you don't know it now is a good time to learn that the better your posture, the better your figure looks no matter your age or weight. Better is worth something. Now balance... old people lose their balance fall down, have a stroke and next thing you know they're in the nursing home. It's not that this board prevents that from ever happening, but it damn sure reduces the likelyhood a lot. :) I like this better than the green one because it's not just for planks which it's great for, but it's also for standing on and the green/yellow one is not.

Overall I absolutely love this thing! It’s actually fun to plank with the games and challenges the app offers. My friends and I all use it to compete and we’re all getting stronger. It does wonders to have something else to focus on other than the fact you’re planking and it hurts. I would never plank this much without it. Only criticisms I have are that 1) There’s a separate piece of material you have to put under it. I wish they would have built something into the Plank Pad so it was all one piece. 2) the Challenge On the App is way too easy if you can plank at all. I wish they would have made it harder. 3) it’s a bit pricey for what it is. Overall I love my Plankpad and am getting an extremely strong stomach and arms!

This is my first time using a balance board. My choice was between the plankpad and the stealth pad. I chose to go with the plankpad mainly due to the stealth pad having a shipping time of 3-4 weeks at the time I was looking to purchase one. The plankpad seems sturdy, I enjoy the app and the fact that I can use this not only to plank but to stand and balance while playing the games. I'm about 170lbs and it holds my weight just fine. The exercises included on the app are a plus. I don't have a smart TV, but my phone can be connected to my firestick and mirrored to play the games while standing and balancing. You will definitely notice your workout with this, i feel like i've just done a bunch of sit ups. This is the downside to the plankpad that I do not like. Straight out of the box the foam pad on top was already coming up at the edges. The glue holding it is very weak and with light force will come up from the board. I'm assuming this is due to the wood's finishing, the glue doesn't bond that well. The foam started to separate from the wood just from me taking it out of the box. I see myself having to be either extremely careful, or having to glue this part back down myself. And with a toddler in the house that means I know for a fact I'll most likely be re-gluing the foam down or having to replace it altogether if they get ahold of it since it seperates from the board so easily. Once I'm able to do a few of the exercises and balance myself pretty good I'll most likely end up buying a stealth pad.

I’m kinda a sucker workout equipment that claims to make workouts fun/easier, so I was embarrassingly quick to purchase this product. I anticipated the board following its predecessor to my next garage sale, but I almost instantly fell in love with this one. The app is half of the value for this product. I expected some cheesy games, and was not disappointed. They aren’t groundbreaking, but they serve as a helpful distraction. Within a couple days I was constantly breaking plank records. The app also has a built in 30 day challenge that I just started. The challenge should have more features to start where you are rather than starting from a beginner level, but I sense that new features will be developed. I would also like the option to turn off the timer while playing the games. I appreciate how sturdy the board is, and enjoy the standing exercises almost as much as the planking. In all, I think (and hope) this will have more staying power than my treadmill (RIP).

Amazing product, so much fun and makes working out core so much easier!!! Love all the different workouts, and the games really work your core!! Built well, looks sleek and was nicely packaged. Would recommend to anyone looking to add fun and games to their workout, especially while at home during quarantine!

Caro pero bien hecho. A ver si me engancho. Súper interesante.

Produit propre bien fini , facile d’utilisation, je trouve ça vraiment génial avec l’application et mes enfants s’y mettent également grâce aux jeux

Ich fasse mich kurz: Planks sind unbestritten eine der effektivsten Körpergewichtsübungen überhaupt und ein seit langem bestens bewährtes Mittel, um "Core Strenght" aufzubauen. Das hier rezensierte PLANKPAD PRO macht Planks deutlich abwechslungsreicher - und vor allem wesentlich spaßiger! Durch den Einsatz eines Plankpads werden Planks alleine schon deswegen spannender, weil man mit dem Körper natürlich permanent das entstehende Ungleichgeweicht ausgleichen muss. Insofern zwingt das Plankpad den Benutzer dazu, noch konzentrierter und mit mehr mit Muskelanspannung zu arbeiten. Hinzu kommt natürlich die hierzu erhältliche, kostenlose App - diese entpuppt sich als wirklich vorbildlich (!) und enthält neben gut demonstrierten Übungen komplette Workouts und erstaunlich lustige Spiele, die man beim Planking spielen kann. Die Benutzerführung der App ist erstklassig und intuitiv, und sie sorgt für einen gewaltigen Motivationsschub. Die Verarbeitung des Plankpads ist solide und robust, und das Pad ist zudem auch noch sehr präzise gefertigt. Preislich liegt das Plankpad Pro aktuell bei 79 Euro, angesichts der guten Verarbeitung ein fairer Preis, für den man ja auch noch eine informative Anleitung, ein Trainingsposter und eine App erhält. Alles in allem: ein sehr effektives und gut konzipiertes Fitnessgerät... in meinen Augen deutlich cleverer und interessanter als viele der (angeblichen) "Wundergeräte", welche auf dem Markt für Fitnessgeräte immer wieder auftauchen. Von mir gibt es klare 5 Sterne!

Perfetto per plank o come balance board. Leggo molte critiche riguardo il fatto che il cellulare deve avere il giroscopio, a me sembrava chiaro leggendo la descrizione, è una semplice tavola plank o balance board, quindi senza nessun meccanismo o componente elettronica. Si può scaricare l'app su un cellulare o tablet, fare gli esercizi illustrati o i giochi presenti. Personalmente la uso senza app e mi piace molto, comodo il tappeto che evita rumori sul pavimento, il legno è molto robusto ed il tape di gomma comodo sotto i piedi (meglio se scalzi) o gli avambracci.
