"The pit pillow is definitely a favorite among gymnasts and coaches here at Achievers. The extreme softness of this mat makes it great for eliminating the fear of falling in all levels of the sport. This mat is also used frequently in the Ninja and Parkour programs offered here at Achievers. Having 4 pit pillows ensures that all our groups & levels can take advantage of using this awesome mat without having to share!" -Coach Michael
