QuickBoard vs FitLight.
Both train how fast an athlete reacts. They differ in where the athlete looks, what gets recorded, and what ends up in a clinic record.
FitLight is a set of wireless LED lights you run from a phone or tablet app. QuickBoard is a sensor board paired with an iPad app. Some programs run both. This page lays out what each one is, what each records, and what each costs in public.

Portable lights for group and offsite drills
A four-light FitLight system lists for less than a sensor board, and the app has no subscription. The lights travel in a case, work indoors or outdoors at long range, and up to four people can train at once. The maker also has a healthcare page for clinical users.
Eyes up, full weight, per-leg record
The target and live feedback sit on a screen at eye level, so attention stays up. The athlete stands on the board, and every rep records contact time and reaction time for each leg. The app writes a PDF report and pre-fills CPT 97750 documentation for the Agility Rating.
What the published research says.
We did not find a study that compares the two systems head to head. We also did not independently review FitLight's published research for this page. The maker lists its research under News & Research on its site.
Active adults new to agility training did four weeks of foot speed and reaction work on the board. Foot speed improved 26% and reaction time 19%. The training also carried over to a change-of-direction test that was not part of the program, about 0.45 seconds, roughly 7%. The control group did not improve. The Quick Board, LLC funded the study and supplied equipment; the authors were independent. Active adults, not athletes or patients.
Randomized research with 64 men's college basketball players. Four weeks of QuickBoard training cut Agility T-Test time 5.4%, versus 2.3% for agility ladder training. Independent group; the paper states no QuickBoard role in design, funding or authorship.
Galpin and Zhang studied athletic and active-adult groups. Read them for sports performance, not for older-adult or neuro populations. Full library on the research page.
Common questions.
They do different jobs. FitLight is a portable wireless light system for reaction and cognitive drills. QuickBoard adds standing at full weight, per-leg data, an eye-level screen, and a billable report. Each is built for a different job.
Yes. Programs can keep lights for travel and group drills and use QuickBoard for measured sessions that go into the chart.
FitLight systems ran from $999 for 4 lights to $1,999 for 12 lights on the maker's page on 2026-10-27, with a subscription-free app. QuickBoard is $2,295 or $2,495 for the board, plus software from $49.99 a month.
The maker has a healthcare page and lists physical therapists among its users. It is a strong drill tool. It does not produce CPT 97750 documentation or a per-leg standing record the way QuickBoard does.
