I saw this thing online and thought, "Is that... a foam speed bump for your back? What even is an Oov?" But the promise of spinal support and core engagement was too intriguing (and my back was complaining loudly), so I took the plunge. When this oddly shaped foam object arrived, it felt surprisingly substantial. It's contoured in a way that looks like it was designed by someone who really understands the curves of a human spine (or maybe a very comfortable snake). My initial thought was, "Okay, how do I even put this on?" Using the Oov for the first time felt a bit like trying to balance on a friendly, supportive cloud. You lie on it, and it cradles your spine, gently encouraging it to lengthen. It's a strange sensation at first, like your back is finally exhaling after holding its breath for decades. My core muscles, which usually only make an appearance when I'm trying to lift something heavy or laughing really hard, suddenly seemed to wake up and pay attention. "Oh, this is what we're supposed to be doing!" they seemed to say. It's not just for lying there, though. You can do exercises on it! Pilates moves become a whole new level of challenging and effective when your base is slightly unstable. It forces you to engage those deep stabilizing muscles that usually just hang out and watch. My planks are wobblier, my crunches feel more intense, and I'm pretty sure I'm developing the core strength of a seasoned tightrope walker (who occasionally falls off). The Oov comes in different sizes, which is important. You need the right fit for your spine, otherwise, I imagine it's less "supportive cloud" and more "uncomfortable foam lump." Mine fits just right, like a custom-made cradle for my vertebrae. If your spine is feeling compressed, your core is in need of a wake-up call, and you're open to a piece of fitness equipment that looks a little unusual but delivers real results, give the Oov a try. It's become an indispensable part of my stretching and core routine. My spine feels happier, my core is (slowly) getting stronger, and I'm thoroughly impressed with this weirdly wonderful foam friend. Review: I don't know if any person could have taught me to engadge my abs like this. - I have sciatica, and my body is very very out of balance. Specifically my right hip flexor and hamstrings are tight, my right pelvic floor and rib cage are tight, and my abs on that side . . it's like they don't exist. I've been in and out of physical therapy for years. I've read books about facilitating the mind muscle connection to fix the issue. I tried pilates in the hope to connect to my core, but couldn't do any of the exercises without hurting my back, but thankfully it did put me onto the oov. The Oov allows my body to lengthen that psoas, in a way that has never been possible before, and suddenly everything else can start engaging in a better way. I've only been using it for 2 weeks, but the progress is soooo impressive. I feel like I could write a soliloquy about the damn piece of foam, but suffice it to say I don't know if I ever would have been able to reconnect with my core without this thing. I will update as time goes by and hopefully the progress will continue to be amazing! Almost 4 months in, and I'm still crazy about the Oov, which isn't showing any signs of wear. I went from only being able to lay on it every other day, to doing 45 min a day. I can now do the double leg stretch with a yoga ball under my feet, and I can do ballet arms with my legs in table top. I hope in a few more months I will be doing a full dead bug, but I've never felt more in control of my core. It is truly waking up muscles I don't think have actively contracted in years, and makes me want to cry tears of joy at times. Make sure to pretend your legs are light as feathers, to sink your hips down into their sockets, and squeeze an imaginary ball between your legs, and of course go slow as a snail! ## Features - PILATES EQUIPMENT: Invented by Daniel Vladeta, D.O., the Balanced Body Oov offers dynamic spine support that engages muscles more than traditional equipment. It activates your core stabilizing muscles while also gently extending the spine to stimulate healthy intervertebral disc lubrication. - SPINAL-SUPPORT DEVICE: The Oov features a unique shape that complements the spine’s natural curves for better positioning and support during exercise. It's an effective tool for enhancing physical therapy, athletic performance, and functional movement. - IMPRESSIVE DESIGN: The Oov is constructed from highly durable foam and is available in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large. The small Oov measures 24" L x 10" W x 7" H, the medium Oov measures 26" L x 11" W x 7" H, and the large Oov measures 28" L x 12" W x 8" H. - VERSATILE EXERCISE TOOL: With its multifunctional design, the Oov is perfect for working your core, promoting better posture, and enhancing stability during floor or Reformer exercises. It can be used for supine, prone, side-lying, kneeling, or standing exercises as well as rehabilitation work. - BALANCED BODY: Balanced Body is dedicated to providing Pilates-based education and equipment that empowers users to be mindful of movement, make healthy lifestyle changes, and ultimately find balance. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015QCFUX8 | | Brand Name | Balanced Body | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (153) | | Date First Available | September 23, 2015 | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 28.1 x 11.4 x 9.1 inches | | Item Weight | 4.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Balanced Body | | Material | Metal | | Model Name | 12949 | | Package Weight | 2.56 Kilograms | | Part Number | 12949 | | Size | Large | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | ## Images ![Balanced Body Pilates Oov Training Tool, Pilates Exercise Equipment for Back and Core Strengthening, Pilates Workout Equipment for Home Gym or Studio - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41rlCN-QjoL.jpg) ![Balanced Body Pilates Oov Training Tool, Pilates Exercise Equipment for Back and Core Strengthening, Pilates Workout Equipment for Home Gym or Studio - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719p1Uc9taL.jpg) ![Balanced Body Pilates Oov Training Tool, Pilates Exercise Equipment for Back and Core Strengthening, Pilates Workout Equipment for Home Gym or Studio - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513E8D7BgsL.jpg) ![Balanced Body Pilates Oov Training Tool, Pilates Exercise Equipment for Back and Core Strengthening, Pilates Workout Equipment for Home Gym or Studio - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XcS8EnF2L.jpg) ![Balanced Body Pilates Oov Training Tool, Pilates Exercise Equipment for Back and Core Strengthening, Pilates Workout Equipment for Home Gym or Studio - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vbDLddz5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you know what size to get?** A: Hi KandieThe size chart is below:Size Height WeightSmall Up to 5'6" (1.7m) Up to 121 lb (55kg)Medium 5'6" to 5'11" (1.7-1.8m) 121-165 lbs (55-77kg)Large Over 5'11" (1.8m+) Over 165 lbs (75kg+)For more information, you can contact us directly at 1 800 Pilates or 1800 745-2837.Thank you,Balanced Body Team **Q: Many reviews here, some with photos, indicate that this is a knockoff and not a genuine Oov. What do you have to say about that?** A: My Oov split after just two months of lite use. I weigh 180lb and so I am not heavy. I posted one star for this product and would have given no stars. I use Oov in the studio and have had no issues. However this product and the supplier is sub standard. Do not buy this product. **Q: I do not see a sizing chart?** A: According to the Balanced Body website: Size Height Weight Small Up to 5'6" (1.7m) Up to 121 lb (55kg) Medium 5'6" to 5'11" (1.7-1.8m) 121-165 lbs (55-77kg) Large Over 5'11" (1.8m+) Over 165 lbs (75kg+) **Q: i have the large, i would fit in a medium. can i still use the large until you get the right size in stock?** A: I think you can still do supine series and some standing exercises on the Oov with the large. General rule is to be comfortable while on the tool. Listen to your body, if it feels uncomfortable, or "a bit of work", dont force it as you will only train your body to go into inefficient movement patterns ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Spine's New Best Friend. *by M***S on April 26, 2025* Alright, fellow humans whose spines occasionally feel like a stack of slightly misaligned dinner plates, let me tell you about the Balanced Body Pilates Oov Training Tool.
