I would love a Bosu ball balance trainer for use at home but need a cheaper alternative... Anyone have experience or know of a similar product? Thanks!

    It's like a little version of a balance ball with a flat platform on top... Think modified old skill pogo ball.

    Maybe just try a normal exercise ball, they are between $20 and $40

    Best of Luck

    I haven't seen any fake BOSUs to be honest. Maybe they have a patent on the design.

    I bet they have a patent too b/c I haven't been able to find anything comparable... I'm just going to break down and buy one next week... lol

    I have looked and can't find any either. You are right about the patent.

    Did you try craigslist to see if you could pick up a used one? Or a sports resale shop.
