BeMaxx
Balance Pad

The BeMaxx brand balance pad impressed us in our test with its combination of functionality and suitability for everyday use.
Both the pad and the resistance band appear to be very well made and robust. The pad offers a high level of comfort with a maximum load of 150 kg. The non-slip surface conveys a feeling of safety and stability.
The enclosed eBook with training instructions and tips is a fitting addition to an overall clever product that is suitable for everyday use.
The only negative aspect in our test was the packaging in plastic film. Here we see room for improvement on the part of the manufacturer.
All in all, we see the product as an enrichment for the training exercises of sports enthusiasts and those who want to become one.

  • Including resistance band
  • Non-slip thanks to anti-slip surface
  • High comfort
  • Packaging unfortunately made of plastic

The first impression

Packaging and contents

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The BeMaxx brand balance pad arrives in a plastic film. This seems relatively thick and stable. Inside is the balance pad and a resistance band for various sports exercises. The latter is wrapped once again in a plastic film.
Overall product protection is guaranteed, but an alternative packaging method that is more resource-friendly and sustainable would be desirable.
The product scope is complete and as specified by the manufacturer. The enclosed instructions for use in various languages are clear and easy to understand. This also applies to the enclosed eBook with training exercises and tips on using the product.
Overall, the product makes a good first impression with slight room for improvement in the packaging.

After removing the Balance Pad from its packaging, let’s take a closer look at the product.
The product initially makes a good visual impression . The colour is vibrant and even. The bold colours look appropriate for a sports accessory.
The workmanship of the product also appears to be of high quality at first glance. No defects can be detected at first. However, when removing the manufacturer’s sticker on the back of the pad, it is noticeable that this cannot be done without leaving any residue. Unfortunately, we damage the surface of the pad slightly during the attempt, but this has no effect on its functionality. We consider a warning about this or the omission of the sticker to be sensible.
Nevertheless, the product appears stable, resistant and suitable for use in various exercises. The resistance band also proves to be even, flexible and resilient.
The manufacturer is particularly committed to sustainability. Its involvement in the “Eden Reforestation Project” demonstrates a well thought-out product concept overall.
All in all, this gives us a very good impression of the product and we are looking forward to the results of our practical test.

The balance pad from BeMaxx impresses with its versatile functionality and high quality, making it an ideal training companion for a wide range of exercises.
The non-slip surface provides excellent grip and prevents slipping, whether for balance exercises, yoga or physiotherapy. The anti-slip coating gives the pad a stable base that creates confidence in every movement.
The elasticity of the pad is comfortable and fulfils the requirements for the intended use perfectly. The high-quality memory foam moulds to the body, but offers just the right amount of resistance for targeted balance and stability training.
Despite its relatively low height of 6 cm, the balance pad offers a high level of comfort. The surface is pleasant to the touch, so there are no pressure points or unpleasant sensations even during prolonged training.
With a load capacity of up to 150 kg, the pad demonstrates its robustness and quality. Even with intensive use or the application of additional weight, no permanent pressure marks remain. The dimensional stability is maintained over the entire service life, which speaks in favour of the longevity of the product.
Cleaning the Balance Pad is extremely easy. It can be cleaned effortlessly with conventional cleaning agents, making it ready for use again quickly and easily. This is particularly advantageous for regular use or after outdoor training sessions where the pad is subjected to greater stress.
Overall, the Balance Pad offers a convincing combination of slip resistance, comfort and resilience. It is ideal for leisure use as well as for more intensive training programmes and impresses with its uncomplicated handling and care.
