Benefits
- Our commitment – motivating youth to become interested in fitness is not an easy task. Our attempt for accomplishing this task is threefold.
- First: We provide a curriculum that speaks their language and utilizes colorful diagrams.
- Second: The Woggler relates to a skateboard in their minds, consequently it is “cool” in their culture. The attachments and accessories are of exciting, vibrant colors.
- Third: Our exercises are fun and challenging while accomplishing fitness through the concurrent development of strength, balance, and agility for control. We call this CORE HARMONY.
Our commitment is to a constant pursuit of finding ways to communicate and relate with youth so as to excite them with a fitness program that will benefit them throughout their entire lives.
- Core Strength and Stabilization – Your core body is the musculature surrounding your spine, your scapula (shoulder blades), your pelvis, your lower back, your hips and abdomen. It has been long studied and appreciated by various institutions including Mayo Clinic that your core body determines your body performs. Core development is paramount to wellness and fitness and is the main link between in the circuitry of the body between the brain and movement. Our “core” exercises are second to none.
- Sensory integration – Two senses of the body that have had comparatively less attention are our sense of motion (our vestibular system) and muscle awareness (proprioceptive system). These together with our visual perception make up the tripod for functional balance. Nancy Green, founder of Brain Highways, a clinic that works with children who have ADD, ADHD, ASM or autism, states that “children who have poor vestibular and proprioceptive processing often have difficulty with reading, writing, attention, and coordination”. The Woggler is unique for its method of developing and training balance.
- Many states require a P.E. program for the recognition of your home-school. We provide you with a program that has been developed to satisfy this requirement.
- It is fun for the whole family. The benefits of the Woggle Gym program reach far beyond the kids and P.E. class. Dad, Mom, Family, and Friends, will not only enjoy the benefits of the Woggle Gym program, but will have hours of tremendous fun, pleasure and competitive challenge.

HomeSchool Enrichment Magazine Review by Frank Lewis, Editor
"Hey, homeschoolers! Would you like a complete homeschool Physical Education class that not only builds agility and core strength but, also, is the most fun any person has a right to have while exercising? If you answered YES, then you need the Woggler!
I kid you not, Mom and Dad. The Woggler is fantastic. Our family has used treadmills, rowing machines and cycling machines for exercise, but the WOGGLER outshines them all. We’ve NEVER had this much fun exercising.
Imagine your children being able to strengthen all of their inner core muscles and, at the same time, work on their coordination and agility. Plus, as this is being accomplished, the right-brain, left-brain activity is sharpened and strengthened, leading to heightened learning ability. The Woggler actually does all this in a new, fun-to-use way. Plus, coming soon, a complete homeschool curriculum will be available that will explain the core muscles and their importance to overall health, discussing core harmony (strength + balance + agility = control), right brain/left brain activity, and more, all with illustrations. If health, agility, coordination, strength, and heightened learning abilities are important for your family, then I don’t see how you can miss with the Woggler. You and your kids will LOVE it. The Woggler is great fun, with great results. It’s a sure-fire winner!"

The Old Schoolhouse Magazine Review by Lisa Barthuly:
“The Woggler encourages fun, while developing and strengthening muscle, cardio, and the best medicine, laughter! There are designed games for the Woggler, (Check out the Rings Game) but you could easily make up some of your own, too. Racing against an opponent would be fun as well.
If you have children who are working on strengthening exercises, for rehabilitation, or sports, or have a child who has a learning challenge, The Woggler may be just right for your family. We’ve really enjoyed the Woggler as part of our physical education time. It is geared for 8 year olds and up, but our 7 year old has been using it, (as well as Mom & Dad) with big smiles! (It could easily be mistaken for a GREAT TOY, too!) I give it a definite thumbs UP!!”

Brain Highways Review by Nancy Green
The Woggler helps develop the vestibular and proprioceptive systems. First, the child needs to figure out how to shift his or her body weight in order to get the Woggler to move. Second, the child must stay balanced on the Woggler when lifting it as he or she move forward or backwards. Good vestibular and proprioceptive processing makes this possible.
We use the Woggler as part of the Brain Highways program. While the program includes a myriad of apparatus that stimulate the vestibular and proprioceptive system, the Woggler is a favorite among parents and children. Child participants are immediately motivated to try to get the Woggler to move. Since many children in the program cannot initially do so (due to poor vestibular and proprioceptive processing), the Woggler also often marks improvement of such sensory system when the child can now maneuver it across the room! The Woggler is also popular because it is smaller than many other pieces of vestibular and proprioceptive equipment, making it easy to store at home or in the classroom.
Since all sensory information first passes through the vestibular system, it can be considered the boss of sensory processing. The vestibular system is additionally related to our innate sense of balance and acts as a “tripod” for our visual system.
The proprioceptive system tells us where our body parts are and what they are doing—even when we are not looking at such parts. The proprioceptive system also helps us innately know how much pressure to use (e.g. to hold a pencil) and when to quickly make an appropriate body shift (e.g. while bending down to pick up a piece of paper) in order to retain balance.
Children who have poor vestibular and proprioceptive processing often have difficulty with reading, writing, attention, and coordination.
