Yesterday Sydney Social 101 was invited to trial the the latest fitness trend that is getting Australians in shape; the Oov. We went to the exclusive VIP launch, which was held at Andrew Boy Charlton Pool. It was the perfect day for it.
We were treated on one-on-one sessions with Tom Roman whilst being offered the healthiest smoothies, snacks and treats!

The Oov is an Australian Made and Owned core activation training device released by Oov Pty Ltd, a conceptual business based in Sydney.
Used by the likes of the AIS, Bondi Rescue lifesavers, elite swimmers like James Magnusson and many other professional athletes including golfers and tennis professionals, the Oov has exploded in both Australia and overseas as a new development from the foam roller. The exercise, rehabilitation andmotor control device is made from highly durable, eco-friendly foam and has three curves to complement the natural curvature of the spine.
“The Oov has changed how we train, view and treat the spine. It has allowed for more efficient use of our bodies by activating our core stabilising muscles, strengthening and building their endurance, hence helping to prevent injuries,” says Daniel Vladeta, CEO and Founder of Oov.
The Oov has become widespread throughout Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the Middle East in health and fitness industries such as Pilates, physiotherapy, chiropractics, Fitness, massage therapy and stress relief. 100’s of practitioners in Australia use The Oov to treat patients. The Oov is now also launching in the United States.
“The Oov is designed to strengthen the user’s core while also gently extending the spine. The three curves in the device allow the user to balance in an optimum position helping to achieve neutral spine. Through balance training on the Oov, the user is required to stabilize their trunk through the activation of their core and then learn to control movement of the rest of their body,” says Vladeta.
A Movement Program, with simple and personalised exercise routines, is available from the current Oov app (available in both Apple and Android). Catering for more active users is the launch of the new Core Fit program app. This features advanced balance and core activating exercises and has been released in collaboration with Bondi Rescue’s Anthony ‘Harries’ Carroll.
“The Oov is not only used for spine-related conditions. It has become a vital tool that is incorporated in everyday training and is used in conjunction with Pilates equipment, Strength training, and other balance training devices such as BOSU” says Vladeta.
Ten years working in the Medical Device Industry has assisted Mr Vladeta in the development of the Oov. His local design and manufacture company, known for creating active and dynamic products, employs ratios and geometries found in nature and the human body as inspiration for the Oov’s design.
The Oov can be purchased in three different sizes from www.oov.com.au, price is $170.
