About BALEROboard® Invention:
BALEROboard® was born out of passion, purpose, and persistence. Created and patented by Karen Harbour, the BALEROboard® is the world’s first inflatable, deflatable balance trainer—designed to make balance training accessible, portable, and FUN-ctional.
Karen brings over 20 years of experience in the fitness industry, having taught everything from Step, Body Pump, and Strength & Conditioning to Spin, Yoga, Pilates, and CrossFit. Along with her husband, she opened and operated a boutique gym that specialized in strength training for women, with a unique onboarding philosophy that emphasized balance as the foundation for long-term success.
The inspiration forBALEROboard® came from Karen’s real life. As a busy executive in the natural foods industry who travels often, she struggled to bring traditional balance trainers on the road—they were bulky, heavy, and impractical. Driven by her entrepreneurial spirit, she set out to create a solution: a lightweight, versatile, and travel-friendly balance trainer that can be used anytime, anywhere.
Now, as a first-time mom at 48, Karen is even more committed to the importance of balance—not only for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, but for anyone who wants to move better, stay strong, and age gracefully. BALEROboard® is her way of sharing the gift of balance with the world: a tool that’s easy to use, endlessly versatile, and designed to fit your life—whether you’re training at home, in the gym, or on the go.
