ActionFit Balance Plank Station with Instructional Sign (FitTech Series)
Description
The ActionFit Balance Plank Station is a compact, challenge-driven outdoor fitness station built for parks, campuses, and recreational facilities serving users ages 13 and up. Its narrow walking surface tapers from 6 inches down to 3 inches, creating a graduated balance challenge that progresses naturally as users move from one end to the other. Whether walking heel-to-toe, practicing directional switches, attempting jumps, or holding standing yoga poses, this station offers a surprisingly versatile workout in a small footprint.
Beyond balance training, the plank doubles as an elevated push-up platform, making it useful for upper-body conditioning for multiple users at the same time. Built from marine-grade slip-resistant plastics and steel construction with a rust-resistant coating, it is engineered to stand up to the elements and heavy daily use. A freestanding instructional sign is included to guide users through proper technique right at the station.

FAQ
Is the instructional sign included, or is it sold separately?
The UP197 freestanding instructional sign is included with this listing. It comes with the Balance Plank Station (UP176) and is designed to stand near the equipment to guide users through proper exercises and technique.
Does the Balance Plank Station need to be anchored to the ground?
Installation requirements may vary depending on your site conditions and local regulations. We recommend contacting us before purchase so we can confirm the specific anchoring requirements and help ensure proper installation at your facility.
Is this suitable for seniors or only younger users?
The Balance Plank Station is designed for ages 13 and up. While it is part of ActionFit's general outdoor fitness lineup, the graduated difficulty of the tapered surface makes it approachable for a wide range of fitness levels. For seniors-specific programming, ActionFit also offers equipment from their Active Adult Fitness series.
Can multiple people use the Balance Plank at the same time?
Yes - the Balance Plank is designed to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, particularly for push-up exercises. The elevated surface provides a stable platform for side-by-side upper body conditioning, making it efficient for group fitness programming.
How does this station hold up in wet or icy weather?
The top surface is made from marine-grade slip-resistant plastic, which is specifically chosen for its performance in wet and variable outdoor conditions. The steel frame has a rust-resistant coating to prevent corrosion. As with any outdoor fitness equipment, standard safety precautions should be observed in icy conditions.
