We Sell Mats9 ft Folding Foam Balance Beam Bar, Portable Gymnastics Equipment for Gymnast, Children or Cheerleaders

I recently purchased the 9 ft Folding Foam Balance Beam, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. My daughter is a beginner gymnast, I wanted to get her something to practice at home without taking up too much space or being too intimidating, and this beam fits the bill perfectly.Pros:Sturdy and Safe: The foam padding provides a great balance between firmness and cushioning, so she feels secure practicing her skills without worrying about injury.Foldable Design: I love that it’s easy to fold up and store when she’s not using it. The folding feature is super convenient for small spaces!Non-Slip Surface: The surface is textured enough to give good grip, which helps with confidence during practice.Versatile: It’s great for beginners, but even intermediate gymnasts could use it for training balance and basic skills.Cons:Not for Advanced Use: While it’s perfect for home practice and beginners, more advanced gymnasts might find it too soft or not stable enough for high-level training.Overall, I highly recommend this beam for anyone looking to practice balance or start gymnastics at home. It’s well-priced, functional, and has been a game changer for my daughters training!

This is great for ages 2-7. My niece and nephew are doing gymnastics and we got this as a gift for them. They were so happy opening their new balance beam gift. My kids also enjoy balancing on this beam and it has been an activity for the kids to play by themselves or as a group. This is a great way to develop gross motor skills in children.

Perfect for practice. Lightweight, my daughter can move it around and get in reps.

Light weight, folds well but sturdiness even for my 30lb daughter is less than expected. It doesnt tend to hold up as well as expected. That said she loves using and and does so quite often. Has started working on many of the moves at home she is learning at gymnastics.

My daughter just started gymnastics and I thought it would be great for her to be able to practice at home. This beam is phenomenal. I love that it is so light and easily removable. It is so sturdy.

As other people mentioned, this is not a firm beam. It is actually less firm than my 2 inch 4 x 10 We Sell Mats Practice mat. However the fact that it is so squishy makes it great for stability training. Now mind you I am almost 200 pounds and got it to practice some gymnastics tricks I could do when I was younger. I will probably buy a firmer beam in the future and I’m sure turns would not go well for me on this beam (or maybe anyone). But I walked back and forth on it today for an hour (while on a phone call), just to practice balancing and 12 hours later my whole body is sore. (And despite my weight, I do exercise a lot and walk every day sometimes with weights on), so I’m pleasantly surprised by this and I decided to keep it. When I move to a hard beam I’m sure it will seem so much easier after this. I would recommend it if you are looking to improve your balance on a standard beam or even just in general.

I bought this for my granddaughter as she begins her gymnastics “career “! It is just the right length for practice and it’s soft, but not too soft for walking across.

It's light, convenient, good for the price, but not firm enough to really practice higher level beam routines. It's squishy so it makes it harder to get footing and lands are always wobbly bc it's not firm enough. You sink during cartwheels, dismounts, etc. OK for warm ups but will be buying different brand for precise practicing with a solid beam.
