Frequently Asked Questions
What does COBA stand for?
COBA stands for counterbalance. Our patented and scientifically backed 7-degree incline puts your body in the perfect Counterbalanced position to finally get the results you want! The COBA Board takes the pressure off your knee, joints & quads and activates your glutes and hamstrings more effectively than regular squats, lunges, and deadlifts. The COBA Method of training will help sculpt your legs and booty like never before.
What is the science behind the COBA Board’s counterbalance magic?
Dr. Scott Lynn, Ph.D., Associate Professor at California State University, tested the COBA Board PLUS at The Center for Sports Performance, School of Kinesiology in Fullerton, California. The findings showed that the counterbalance squats done on a 7% incline were clearly more effective than regular squats, lunges, and deadlifts at targeting and activating the glutes and hamstring muscles. COBA’s incline and toe raise puts your weight back on your heels. This puts your body in a counterbalance position to target your posterior chain muscles and helps you achieve serious glute activation and the results you’ve been waiting for!

I’ve heard that you can use The COBA BOARD in a similar way to a Pilates reformer machine. Is this true?
While The COBA Board is a strength training machine, it is also loved by those who follow Pilates and reformer Pilates. It is gentle on your body and helps to strengthen, lengthen & sculpt your booty, legs, and body in a similar way to a reformer machine, especially when doing high reps with lower weight.
Is The COBA Board Plus just a booty & leg product?
NO! While our special sauce is our patented and scientifically backed 7-degree incline to make your glute and leg routine better than ever, the COBA Board Plus is a total body gym at home! Not only can you work your entire upper body and abs with our resistance system, but doing squats, lunges, and deadlifts on our counterbalance board activates your core muscles and helps to strengthen your entire body while working on balance and stability during lower body movements.
