GoFitCore Stability Disk for Balance, Core Strength and Ab Workouts, Yoga, Pilates

I received my GoFit Core Disk about 2 weeks ago and so far, I really like it. I also use a physio-ball for most of my ab work, but was looking for something new to try. This item fits the bill. I use it for lunges, balancing on two feet, one foot, sit-ups, etc. I like the fact that it came with an instructional DVD (Not a fitness routine, just exercise options). The disk arrived inflated slightly, but I felt it needed a little more air. It comes with an inflation pin (taped to the packaging) and you have to have a bike pump to add more air. I've also been using the fit disk to sit on while I work on my computer (I'm sitting on it now) and it has really improved my sitting posture and makes working on the computer not such a sluggish activity.My only complaint and reason that I am not giving it 5 stars is I wish that some instructional guide (not a DVD) had been included. I like to watch trashy TV while I workout, so I can't do that and watch the instructional DVD at the same time. A chart or booklet of different exercises would have been perfect for me so that I could refer to it as I was using the disk. Also, some instruction as to the amount that the disk should be inflated to would have been helpful too. Just recommendations about disk inflation for certain levels, exercises, uses. etc.Lastly, the disk shown above is blue. I received a red one. No problem for me, because I much prefer red to blue, but Amazon might want to let people know that the color they see might not be the color they get.

Most of the products from this company come with printed exercises but not this. It has only a DVD. It has plenty of exercises on it but the DVD is difficult to use while exercising. There is no repeat feature and you have to manually go back to the main menu and re-select the exercise each time, several times until you learn the exercise. Whenever it comes to stretching-type exercises it is real easy to overdue them or position the disc just slightly incorrectly. Having to constantly get up to replay the exercise topic on the DVD just makes this extremely inconvenient. There is a small insert that says "ATTENTION: If you have any issues with the operation of this DVD, DO NOT RETURN your product to the store" and it gives a phone number and email address. Problem is, the DVD operates fine but its production and layout is simply bad. Typically, this happens when a company fails to conduct sufficient customer feedback prior to a program's release.All of this company's products come with warnings to consult professionals and you certainly should with this product. Although it looks like a simple device, many of the exercises use it under the small of your back. This is not a good idea for someone with lower back issues. Best to check with your physical therapist or doctor before attempting this type of exercise.

I wasn't sure how much excersise I will get on this (i have a bad leg and a very bad back) but I was hoping it will allow me some excersises to improve my balance and maybe serve as a 'portable physio ball' to sit on, as sitting on regular chairs is very hard for my back and hip. It is perfect for the latter! It is light enough and small enough to fit in a medium bag and I tote it with me to put on any odd chair I have to sit on for any extended time. It gives me almost the same support as a ball would, and allows me to shift the weight on my spine and pelvis as I sit. Very nice. Definitely helps with my back pain. The disk is filled when you get it so you don't have to fuss around with how much air is needed, which is also great. I am glad I ordered it and I recommended it to some other people, too.

As several reviewers mention, this disk works well as a back support. I've tried several lumbar supports that are actually intended for that purpose and this one works better than them all! I love how a piece of equipment so small and portable is so versatile.I've found a variety of ways to use this disk. For example you can lie with it under your hips (on the floor) for a nice stretch. Of course you can do standing balance work on it, but you can also use it as a head rest in lying down stretches or experiment with placing it under different parts of the body in floor exercises. I also use it conjunction with the two little green balls that come with the Miracle Ball Method by Elaine Petrone. There are even more things I could do with these disks if I just had two instead of one. In short, this little piece of exercise equipment is useful for far more than I imagined when I bought it!The disk is good quality, and after reading many reviews for others that mentioned problems, I've been glad I purchased this one. Though I haven't needed to add air, I'm glad that I can if I want to. (some companies makes disks that you can't adjust).

Received this yesterday. Went through all packaging, including the box for the Disk and the larger cardboard box it was shipped in --- found nothing other than the partially inflated Disk. The description didn't actually indicate that a DVD was included, although several other reviews mentioned one so I was expecting it. It definitely stated that some type of training program or plan was included. I located the small needle taped to the inside of the Disk box, so be careful you don't throw that away. There's a small cardboard pouch that apparently held a DVD or training pamphlet/info at some point, but it was torn loose and nothing was in there by the time it was shipped to me. I have Martina Navratilova's book "Shape Your Self" that includes exercises with this type of disc so I won't be on my own, but as far as what I received with the order I can't give more than a mediocre review regarding usefulnes of the product since it has no documentation at all.

Just received this item and the manual that is suppose to be included was not.

Parfait pour se tenir plus droite lorsque assis au télétravail. Hâte d'essayer les exercices d'équilibre trouve sur internet. Le livret d'exercice n'était pas dans la boîte tel qu'indiqué dans la description du produit.

Product use is as required - use for core balance whilst sat at desk job. Good price but the item inside the box was dirty and required cleaning with hot soap and water. Also worth noting that there is no pump provided but the nozzle pin fits most bike pumps. I do not find the inflation valve a discomfort problem as some reviewers have mentioned.

I had a similar thing to use while at physio and bought this for myself when I was discharged. I am in a wheelchair and dont have strong core muscles at all. This is a great way to work on your core or abs, its easy to use.
