Description
The Exertools More Square Balance Trainer brings the familiar four-square stepping pattern off the floor and onto a raised cross, so balance work can progress in height instead of repeating the same flat drills. When tape lines on the clinic floor stop challenging a patient, the stacking cubes add 3 to 12 in of height that makes each step demand more control. Physical therapists use the set for balance assessment and step training, and athletic trainers use it to raise the difficulty of ladder and agility drills.
- Four Training Heights – Stack the support cubes to set the cross at 3, 6, 9, or 12 in, raising the challenge in small, controlled steps.
- Shock Cord Connections – The cross arms link with shock cord, simplifying set-up, break-down, and transport between treatment areas.
- Interlocking Support Cubes – Four 3 in cubes lock together, making height adjustments and activity progressions quick mid-session.
Balance and Agility Training Built on the Four-Square Step Test
Inspired by the Four-Square Step Test used in balance assessment, this cross and cube system turns a flat stepping pattern into a raised training station. The cross forms four stepping zones, and the four support cubes stack underneath to lift it to the height each session calls for. Therapists can run assessment style step sequences at one height, then add a cube and repeat the pattern as control improves. Stacking also elevates common ladder and agility drills, giving training sessions a progression that floor tape cannot offer. For clinics that coach balance, agility, and speed in the same space, the set keeps that progression in one compact kit.
Features and Benefits
Height and Progression
- Stackable Cube Design – Each 3 in cube stacks under the cross, building the four working heights of 3, 6, 9, and 12 in from one set of parts.
- Raised Stepping Zones – The elevated cross asks for more control than floor-level patterns, adding challenge without new equipment.
Setup and Handling
- Connected Cross Arms – Shock cord links the cross arms, so the frame sets up and breaks down quickly for transport or storage.
- Multi-Set Layouts – Combining multiple sets creates complex balance tasks, extending the system as a program grows.

Why Clinics Step Up to a Raised Four-Square System
Flat floor patterns cost nothing, but they stop progressing once a patient masters the sequence. The raised cross gives that same familiar pattern four levels of height, so one kit serves early balance work and advanced agility training. It is a straightforward way to add measurable progression to sessions your team already runs.
- Assessment Roots, Training Range – Built on the Four-Square Step Test pattern clinicians already know, then extended to 12 in of working height for training, a range flat tape layouts cannot match.
- Progression in One Kit – Adding a cube raises the demand, so patients keep moving forward without the clinic buying a new station.
- Sets Up in Moments – Shock cord connections keep set-up and break-down quick, helping busy clinics turn rooms over faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the set?
Each set includes one cross with a 22 in arm length and four 3 in support cubes. The cubes stack under the cross to set the training height.
What training heights can it reach?
Stacking the support cubes sets the cross at 3, 6, 9, or 12 in. Start at the lowest height and add cubes as control improves.
How does the cross go together?
The cross arms connect with shock cord, which simplifies set-up and break-down. The connected design also makes the cross easier to transport between rooms.
What is it used for?
The system supports balance, agility, and speed training built around the Four-Square Step Test stepping pattern. It suits balance assessment work and progressive step training.
Can multiple sets be combined?
Yes. Combining multiple sets allows users to create complex balance tasks and to elevate common ladder and agility drills.
Who uses this trainer?
Physical therapists use it in balance and gait focused sessions, and athletic trainers use it for agility work. It fits clinics, rehab gyms, and training facilities.
