Invented by David Weck, the BOSU^® Balance Trainer debuted in 2000 and quickly became one of the most successful fitness training products in the world. Originally, the name “BOSU” was an acronym for “Both Sides Up.” It meant that the BOSU^® Balance Trainer could be used on either side, the dome or the platform.

Today, the term “BOSU” has evolved beyond the product to now mean “Both Sides Utilized,” a mindful approach to exercise that is a step beyond traditional training. This clarity of who we are and what we want to offer inspired the development of additional BOSU^® products and programming, all of which are grounded in exercise science and proven in real-life application.

BOSU^® Training is about expanding movement capabilities, reshaping bodies, and strengthening minds. It’s about inserting thought into movement.  It’s about asking our clients, fitness students and athletes to be physically involved, but to also be present and fully engaged in the training process.

It doesn’t matter if you’re facing the toughest competition of your athletic career, looking to return to a fitter you, or just starting out. BOSU^® Training can see you through it all with new challenges and exercise progressions always just around the corner.

We make products intended to promote health, wellness, and overall better quality of life. So, it only makes sense that how our products are made is as important to us as to how they are used once in your hands. Even before it was fashionable, Hedstrom Fitness has been committed to the use of renewable resources, recycling, and the elimination of toxins that harm the environment.
