It’s no secret that the home fitness industry has exploded over the last year. Between the pandemic, gym shutdowns, and innovation in the fitness industry, more people than ever before have ditched the gym in favor of sweating at home.

While this is all very exciting, there are a few pitfalls that I’ve been seeing. First, it’s hard to re-create the gym experience from home when you’re limited on space. Let’s face it, not everyone has a dedicated home gym. Second, gym equipment is expensive.

But do you really need to spend thousands of dollars to acquire the equipment you need to get a great workout from home? Perhaps not. 

Today, I’m reviewing Terra Glide, a brand new home fitness solution that promises to be your functional training best friend. Is this dynamic piece of fitness equipment your all-in-one fitness tool?

I took a deep dive into this compact, innovative functional fitness tool and am bringing you everything you need to know and to make a buying decision.

What is Terra Glide? (My Full Review)

Terra Glide is an innovative piece of fitness equipment that is designed to engage the users’ minds and bodies. This fitness tool combines the three most important components to mental and physical health; balance, strength, and agility. 

The Terra Glide is similar in size and concept to a Bosu ball, however, it provides users with a lot more versatility. One side of it is inflated and the other is flat. Plus, it has wheels (hence the name glide) and handles that pop out for even more flexibility and challenge.

How Does Terra Glide Work?

Functional fitness is the core of Terra Glide’s product and system. This brand believes in a strong core and being mentally, emotionally, and aerobically fit so that you can navigate life with more ease and more fun.

With an unstable training surface, you’re forced to use more stabilization muscles which increases the difficulty of your workout. This increased difficulty and increase muscle recruitment will lead to a myriad of benefits, including increased strength, power, and balance.

In addition to the unstable, inflated surface, Terra Glide throws in another level of balance challenge by including wheels that allow it to roll. With wheels, this product is able to glide over your workout surface, challenging your strength and endurance in a fun, new way.

Lastly, the team added handles that conveniently pop in and out, which you can use for gripping the unit or for attached bands. The addition of these handles allows you to recreate some of your favorite gym equipment that you may not have access to at home like cable machines.

Terra Glide's Mind-Body Connection

Terra Glide talks a lot about the mind-body connection, and whether you think it’s overkill or not, the truth is that there’s a lot of science behind it. Essentially, every time you perform a new or unique movement with your body, you create a new neural connection in your brain. The more of these neural pathways that you have, the healthier your brain is.

According to Terra Glide, nothing fires new neurons like quick twitches and stabilization. This is also what best sculpts and creates those ab muscles that we all want. It’s all about gaining confidence, trying new things, and keeping your brain and your body on their toes, so to speak.

A healthier, sharper brain and a rocking body to go with it? I think we can all jump on board for that.

What Kinds Of Workout Movements Can You Perform?

The great thing about Terra Glide is that it’s so versatile that you can do just about anything with it and feel challenged. Below are the types of movements/workouts you can do with the Terra Glide:

• Stability exercises
• Balance exercises
• Push/pull workouts
• Upper body 
• Lower body
• Core
• Sliding exercises
• Banded movements

Who is Terra Glide A Good Fit For?

Terra Glide is for anyone who wants to improve their physical fitness. One of the best things about this product is that it’s so inclusive and accessible for folks at all levels of fitness, from experienced athletes to beginners.

For someone like me who is very much accustomed to working out from home and has a solid training plan in place already, I still love to incorporate new tools and techniques into my movements so that I can challenge myself more and work my muscles in new ways. 

As an example, you can take your pushups from the stability offered by a hard surface (the floor or bench) to the instability of the inflated surface, thereby requiring that you use your core muscles to stabilize your body with every rep. It really changes the way you workout and the results you’ll see and feel!

For those who are maybe just getting started on a fitness journey or are new to working out from home and don’t want to spend a fortune on big, bulky equipment, you’re going to love the convenience and versatility of Terra Glide. It’s small enough to fit virtually anywhere in your home and there are so many movements you can perform with it that you’ll never get bored AND you can always get a great workout in with very little additional equipment.

Wrapping Up: Is Terra Glide Legit?

Is It The All-In-One Fitness Tool You Need to Take Your Workouts to The Next Level?

As I’m writing this, the Terra Glide is just rolling out. However, based on the information I’ve seen, read, and the experience I have had so far with the brand’s sister company Terra Core, I can tell you that this is going to be a product you’ll want to check out.

Home fitness is so big right now, but many feel the financial strain of trying to purchase large, overpriced equipment that they may or may not use for the long-term. Terra Glide is not only incredibly versatile, but it’s also very affordable. Adding to the extreme value is the fact that the team offers a complete app full of workouts to accompany the unit and take all the guess
