No Bluetooth or Wi-Fi needed. You simply place your smartphone or tablet on the board — the app uses your device's built-in sensors to detect your movements in real time. Setup is instant and it works with virtually any modern phone or tablet.

The Plankpad app works on iOS (iPhone & iPad) and Android smartphones and tablets. It is available for free in the App Store and Google Play. For the best experience — especially the 3D games — we recommend iOS 13 or Android 7 or newer.

The app is free to download and includes 11 games, 5 workouts based on 45 exercises, and the 30-Day Beginner Challenge — everything you need to build a consistent habit. An optional premium subscription unlocks 5 additional 3D games, 54 structured workouts with 150+ exercises, and two extra challenge levels (Advanced & Pro). The subscription is billed monthly through the App Store or Google Play.

Yes! Mirror your screen to any smart TV that supports screen mirroring or by using AirPlay (Apple) or a dongle like Chromecast (Android). This turns the Plankpad into a shared family fitness game station — perfect for competing against each other in the same room.

The Plankpad app is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, and Korean.

The Plankpad PRO is crafted from premium, hand-selected FSC-certified maple wood — the same material used in professional sports equipment. The surface features a soft foam pad that cushions your forearms and elbows, and the underside has a high-grip rubber layer that prevents the board from sliding on any floor surface.

The Plankpad STUDIO is crafted from premium FSC-certified birch and beech wood — the same material used in heavy-duty sports equipment. The surface features a soft foam pad that cushions your forearms and elbows, and the underside has a high-grip rubber anti-bacterial layer that prevents the board from sliding on any floor surface.

Both boards are the same size and are fully compatible with the Plankpad app. The PRO features hand-selected maple wood with a high-quality walnut finish and is designed for home use and personal training (max. weight 180 kg). The STUDIO is designed for more intensive daily use in the gym or in physical therapy (max. weight 200 kg). It is made from FSC-certified beech and birch wood and is 100% manufactured in Germany; the mats feature an antibacterial coating and are certified according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100. Both are compatible with all app features and accessories.

The package includes the Plankpad with foam padding, a non-slip floor mat to protect your floor, a 30-Day Challenge poster featuring 12 plank variations, and a quick start guide. The Plankpad app can be downloaded separately for free.

Absolutely. The Plankpad doubles as a balance board for standing use. The app includes standing games and exercises designed for leg training, coordination, and balance. Connected to a TV, the whole family can take turns and compete.

Yes — and it is one of the best ways to start a plank habit. Because the games keep you focused on the fun, most beginners hold their plank far longer than they expect from day one. The app, games, and challenges all offer beginner, advanced, and pro levels, so it grows with you as you get stronger.

The plank is one of the most efficient full-body exercises. With the Plankpad, you engage your core (abs, obliques, lower back), shoulders, arms, chest, glutes, and legs — all at the same time. The dynamic tilt movements activate deep stabiliser muscles that a standard floor plank never reaches.

Regular core training is one of the most evidence-backed approaches for reducing and preventing lower back pain. Many Plankpad users — including people in physiotherapy — report significant improvements. If you have a serious or acute back condition, please consult your doctor before starting any new training programme.
