Workouts & Usage

How does HEROBOARD work?

HEROBOARD uses rolling resistance mechanics instead of springs or straps. You use your body weight on the rolling platform to create resistance. The platform’s wheels create friction-based resistance that adapts to your force and movement speed, providing an effective full-body workout.

What exercises can I do on HEROBOARD?

HEROBOARD supports a wide range of exercises including:

  • Pilates core work and reformer-style movements
  • Upper body strengthening (push-ups, planks, pikes)
  • Lower body exercises (lunges, hamstring curls, squats)
  • Flexibility and mobility work
  • Rehabilitation exercises
  • Sports performance training
Is HEROBOARD good for beginners?

Absolutely! HEROBOARD’s low center of gravity design makes it safe and accessible for all fitness levels. Beginners can start with basic movements and progress at their own pace. The rolling resistance naturally adapts to your strength level.

Can HEROBOARD replace a Pilates reformer?

HEROBOARD provides an effective alternative to traditional Pilates reformers for home use. While it uses rolling resistance instead of springs, many users find it provides comparable core engagement and full-body workout benefits at a fraction of the cost ($279.99 vs $1,000-$4,000+) and space requirements.

Do you have workout videos or tutorials?

Yes! We offer a growing library of workout videos through the HEROBOARD Workout Library. New workouts are added regularly covering various skill levels and exercise focuses.

Can I use HEROBOARD for physical therapy/rehabilitation?

Yes, HEROBOARD is used in physical therapy and rehabilitation settings. Its low-impact, spring-free design makes it suitable for injury recovery and prevention. Several rehabilitation clinics incorporate HEROBOARD into their treatment programs. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program.

How much space do I need to use HEROBOARD?

HEROBOARD only needs about 6 feet x 3 feet of floor space for most exercises. Its compact 19×13×6 inch size means you can easily store it under a bed, in a closet, or lean it against a wall when not in use.

What surface should I use HEROBOARD on?

HEROBOARD works best on hard, smooth surfaces like hardwood, tile, or laminate flooring. You can also use it on a yoga mat or exercise mat on any surface for added stability and floor protection.
