5.0 out of 5 stars
Just as good as the pro version, April 24, 2010
By 
Laura (Michigan) –
This review is from: Bosu Sport 55 cm Balance Trainer (Sports)

I was a little concerned that the cheaper version of the Bosu wouldn’t be as good as the pro version that I use in physical therapy. But personally, I don’t see a difference between the two. This is the cheapest price I’ve seen for the Bosu, pump, and DVDs. I love my Bosu!

This review is from: Bosu Sport 55 cm Balance Trainer (Sports)

As others have commented, the contents of the box don’t really match the description. I got a pump, but no fill tip; I did not get the DVD. HOWEVER, I had a pump from my large exercise ball and an extra seal tip, and didn’t need the DVD. In that case, this BOSU was half the price of another one, and I calculated that I could get along without the peripheral stuff. The BOSU itself is club quality, and was quickly pumped with my exercise ball foot pump.

so: if you really want to spend another $60 for a pump you already have, and a DVD you don’t use, get one of the other products.
as an aside — this was shipped in an ENORMOUS box, but on Amazon Prime, that didn’t matter to me.
