Springee 10ft Balance Springee 10ft Balance Beam - Extra Firm - Suede Folding Gymnastics Beam for Home or Gym Use

We bought this beam for our daughter who is a competitive USAG gymnast. She is working on higher level beam skills like her front walkover aerial, cartwheel aerial, and back stepout. I chose this product because as a gymnastics coach, I noticed right away that a coach and level 10 gymnast designed this beam. That told me that this product was designed by someone who understood that feel and safety were imperative in design for someone who wants to take these skills to a higher beam. I love that the suede covering and the width of the beam are similar to the high beam she competes on and the foam is high density meaning it supports her landing foot without collapsing. She is 10 years old and right around 70 pounds and while the beam does slightly “dip” at the sides with focal pressure (such as when doing pirouette handstands or if she lands slightly off center, this is minimal compared to other foam beams I’ve seen. Let’s be real, it’s foam, not wood. I view the “dips” as a positive as it encourages her to land directly on center. She easily sticks cartwheels, front walkovers, back walkovers, split jumps and full turns on this beam so it is definitely supportive enough for the average gymnast. She has her beam on a gymnastics mat for all the skills she’s working on and the beam never slips or slides. She has bailed many times, landed on the side of the beam, or flat fallen on some of her front aerial attempts and she has never injured herself. It is also easily transportable and light enough for her to easily move around herself. This is a great beam for the average gymnast as well as a competitive gymnast. Highly recommend.

The media could not be loaded.  My daughter just received her springee beam and she loves it! It’s lightweight, comfortable on herfeet, has a lot of spring (which she loved when doing her skills) and makes for a soft landing! What makes it even better is that she can carry it myself and it’s easy to set up inside for those hot Florida days.

We got the tan balance beam and our kids love it!Likes+ great quality+ stays in place+ soft but firm+ folds for easier storage+ velcro keeps the center fold together tightlyDislikes- the only thing I can say is that over time it appears the material wrinkles towards the top. I don't know how to explain it... Basically right near the top where the beam compresses a bit as weight is placed on it, the material has a slight wrinkle I've been noticing. Doesn't show from afar and hard to show in photos.The 9.5' balance beam folds in half, so it's not quite so large when we're stowing it away. It's also soft but firm and perfect for the kids.We've only used it on carpet so far, but it has small grips on one side so I imagine it won't slip on smoother floors. There is also a small piece of velcro in the center where the beam folds. It stays together really well once it's laid out. For how much we've used it, the fold has never been a problem.This is a fantastic balance beam for practice as home. We got the tan to appeal to both our boy and girl and they feels so special because it looks so professional.

We have the 10ft beam and it's long enough for her to easily do her back walkovers, leap pass, etc.The beam is very sturdy and doesn't flatten out when she does skills (one of our other beams does and it's very dangerous as she's landing harder skills).The balance beam has tons of small grip dots on the bottom. This keeps the beam from moving on any surface. We have hardwood floors and with our other balance beams she has to use a rug underneath so it doesn't move. This balance beam she can take out of storage (it folds and is SUPER light weight) and open it up and use it anywhere at any time. She loves it!

Great beam for a beginner to intermediate gymnast. Not sure how well it would handle someone with advanced skills due to the foam core. It is nice and sturdy doesn't flex or give when you walk or tumble. We have used it for a week straight every day so fair so good. I have had an adult working skills and basic tumble no problem. One thing I wish they could fix and why I didn't give 5 stars, is because of the way it folds. It should have Velcro on the middle where it folds. So when the two pieces touch it becomes more sturdy and finds itself in a straight line. Because of th fold, when you flip it out straight it flexes to the left or right and doesn't lay directly in a straight line. If your tumbling is off a hair it moves the beam offset on one end or the other. I like the material. It's light weight and is a great asset for practice at home or fearful students in the gym. I am a gymnastics instructor and believe it's worth the buy due to the thick core and relative sturdiness to it. My only real comparison is a wood floor beam and a foam beam (that feels like the material of a pool noodle.) So in comparison this is a great place to start.

The media could not be loaded.  I am so impressed with this beam! It’s firm enough to do all sorts of skills, but soft enough that it doesn’t hurt. It’s great for working optional skills. The suede is tight enough to even work turns. Highly recommend

Great beam, firm, light, not slippy. Won't scratch your floor. Highly recommend !

It is not as wide as a regulation beam.

Daughter loves this beam

Perfect for our aspiring gymnast.
