No more Plantar Fasciitis => Stronger and More confident Runner

The Black Board training system has made it so easy to train both foot and ankle strength. I suffered from plantar fasciitis and had never fully recovered from an ankle sprain many years ago. With the implementation of exercises on the Black Board and using the amazing tools that come with the Pro Bundle I was able to systematically bring my feet and ankle strength mobility and awareness to levels that I had never experienced. 3 months of consistent training to strengthen and mobilize my feet and ankles has brought me back to a confident walker and surprisingly a confident runner with no more foot pain and no more ankle instability. I plan to continue to strengthen my feet and ankles using the Black Board training System

Get a Blackboard, it's a super great investment in your health.

I highly recommend Blackboard if you are serious about improving your foot strength and mobility!

Power, mobility and stability starts at your feet.
I wore orthotics for 50 years, these devices essentially turn off the muscles of the feet. At an older age I really needed to improve my fitness, and going to the gym to pump iron is good, but it is super important not to overlook the feet since they are essentially our root to the ground.

So I tossed my orthotics, and for several years I did a plethora of foot exercises to strengthen my feet (there's no shortage of exercise)...for about 30 minutes a day. But it wasn't until I purchased the Blackboard and accompanying slant board that my foot strength really took off.

I use the Blackboard daily. I have measured improvements in balance and performance (can stand unassisted 1-2 minutes barefoot performing various movements (like hip hinges, leg extensions, etc.) or walk 30km in barefoot shoes, have fewer foot/knee aches, and confidence that I'll be able to move better in my greying years. Blackboard took me to a new level of fitness.

The accompanying training materials are quite helpful as well.

Get a Blackboard, it's a super great investment in your health.

Good support for a small organization

I bought the Basic package and it arrived shortly after the order confirmation - expectations met!

I tried it out once while my ankle problems have already been gone - easy to apply, expectations met!

Due to the fact not using it anymore, i wanted to send it back - not hearing back for two days on my e-mail led me picking up the phone: quick help, nice chat - expectations met!

Now refund hopefully coming in soon as well

Blackboard for Physical Therapy

I use the blackboard with many of my ankle patients to train different movements and different joints in the foot with great results. I really think the blackboard is a game changer for Physical Therapists to use with their ankle and foot patients to achieve optimal results.

Tool is good, return and refund process is horrendous

A well built tool, but too fiddly and time consuming for me to switch between different modes when I had similar tools already. The problems started when trying to return for a refund.

Given an address without an RMA. Royal Mail / DHL eventually sent my package back to me as the recipient (Gregor) never provided the requested information to customs.

I’ve tried again, this time by UPS and once again the recipient has been contacted but no response (I have no idea why customs are contacting the recipient - all paperwork was correctly completed by myself).

At the moment, I’ve spend 30% of the item value on shipping the return, have no
product and no refund.

We are sorry that the refund process was that kind of complicated. For us it was an absolutely new process to manage that kind of refund from the UK; Since the Brexit everything is more complicated to manage. Now as we know the process it will be much easier. Thanks and again, we apologies.

Get strong feet and ankles

I work in cinema as camera operator, and I really need strong feet and ankle to move. This has always been my weakness.
Since I've put the blackboard exercises in my routine, I feel stronger on my legs.

A bit expensive but I like to use it for activation before running. For sure it’s a nice tool for the committed runner

Thanks for your feedback, regarding to the price point. We are all get used to products that are produced in china or other asian countries, where employee rights and work circumstances aren't well defended in many cases. We are still producing 100% in Europe (Cologen, Germany) please keep this in mind. I absolutely understand your point, but it's not always as easy as it looks and all of us like to have fair paid employees. Thank you so much, Lars from BlackBoard

Quality Craftsmanship

The instructions and quality of the product are exception. This is especially important for the blackboard, as it needs to be stable and sturdy enough to handle your weight, yet it has to be able to twist at the center point. Excellent product and it makes a difference in my “bottom-up” training ethos

Training the muscles of the feet is difficult. The Blackboard is making it a lot easier with its products and the exercise videos to help your training. I can also recommend the MetaTrigger. It makes it so much easier to find those hurting points in your feet.
The only negative point I can find: I was hoping for some more exercises on the blackboard-platform to help me with the training.

Was super excited to stumble across Blackboard right before getting a prp treatment on my ankle. It was great to use pre procedure and post. The whole time training I thought to myself what a genius product if only it has more tilt and incline I wouldn’t be able to stop using it.

The training provided in the pamphlets and online could both be improved to provide a better experience. The pamphlet is not very user friendly and the online courses are kinda clunky. This has resulted in me using blackboard about 10% as much as I’d wish I had. It kept me looking for more options for rehab.

I can only imagine Wedge is a different experience entirely. I am hopeful to one day upgrade. Keep up the good work!

I'm a Premier Level Highland Dancer and ankle and foot stability are critical. Extremely helpful.

I recommended it to one of my cross training teachers for use in her practice
