When thinking of sports and activities, Zorbing rarely appears at the top of anyone’s list. Whether through misunderstanding what it is just completely unaware of what it is, Zorbing scarcely gets a look in between the likes of football, rugby and tennis. Zorbing, however, has a multitude of benefits and is seriously worth considering for a number of reasons.
All abilities welcome
Perhaps its Zorbing's label as an ‘extreme sport’ that turns some people off the idea but that label relates to Zorbing’s beginnings in the early 1980s. Now, it’s a much more inclusive and accessible sport which enables all abilities to join in the fun.
In fact, Zorbing is great leveller in terms of ability. The unnatural environment of a Land Zorb makes walking and running different and we do see athletic customers lose out to not so active clients. Bubble zorbs also manipulate the sporting ability of our customers and bubble football is likely to turn out a much different result than your usual 5-a-side match.
This blank slate of ability is fantastic for building confidence in those who are less athletic and the notion of everyone trying together is great for camaraderie in both children’s birthday parties and team building events.
It’s great cardio
Some guests scoff at the idea that a zorbing session only lasts 5 minutes but, trust us, that is plenty for most. Zorbing is a fantastic cardio workout that adds an extra element of strength to your session. In Land and Aqua Zorbs, you have to push as well as running and they’re not that light, so you’ll notice the extra effort soon enough.
Your legs are free in Bubble Zorbing but carrying the Zorb applies extra strength, and the small environment gets hot very quickly so you’ll feel the sweat coming very soon. Zorbs may very well be the ultimate cardio exercise because you won’t notice the calories you’re burning as it’s so much fun!
Zero trace area impact
Our Zorbs are designed to bounce on the ground and leave no environmental impact on the area we operate in after we’ve left. This means a wide range of grassy areas can be used without damaging the delicate natural habitat for plants and animals. The grass may be a little flattened, but it’s still fertile for the local wildlife to thrive while providing a fun experience for you and your guests.
A Unique Experience
It’s not every day you get to roll around in giant balls, unless you work for us of course, and you’re bound to be talking about it for a long time afterwards. There’s nothing glamourous about zorbing, it’s silly, funny and a bit ridiculous but that’s what makes it so enjoyable. Zorbing always turns heads at events, and it always makes for excellent social media content.
So, if you’re looking for a fantastic way to spice up your event, birthday or corporate do. Zorbing is the perfect solution! View our packages here to find out more about what we do.
