Balance work needs a beam that forgives a missed step, and this 8 foot trainer is built from 100 percent high density Eva foam so a slip lands on cushioning rather than hardwood. The beam measures 2330 millimeters long by 150 millimeters wide by 62 millimeters tall, a width matched to young gymnasts learning walks, turns, pivots and dismounts before moving to a competition beam. A 200 pound support rating covers most children and teenagers, and the anti slip underside keeps the beam from sliding on tile, laminate or low pile carpet during a routine. Folding in half brings the length down for storage behind a door or inside a closet, and the included carrying bag makes moving between home and a gym straightforward. Total weight is only 4.6 pounds, so a child can set up a practice session without help. Wipe the foam surface clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
