Customer Reviews


My personal trainer recommended using this smaller ball as support when doing sit-ups as it really works the core. Crunches and regular sit-ups tend not to work all the stomach muscles or is [....] the back. However, when used at base of your back, this ball really helps focus on the core muscles. I highly recommend this product.

I ordered this mini exercise ball for use in my daily stretching. I use it every day for situps (pressed between my knees) and bicycles. I also use it to stretch backwards by arching my back over it from a sitting position. It provides good support. It is easy to keep in the living room, out of the way since it is small. Unfortunately my kids love it for a soccer ball. It did ship fast as promised. I'd recommend it.

Customer Reviews


I purchased this ball to use to apply more concentrated pressure than I can get with a foam roller. It came with no directions. That made it difficult to understand the purpose of the ball and the proper inflation. It seems to me that for this to work the pressure should be 50 - 100 psi. As I pumped the ball up - the ball kept getting bigger but not much harder. I am not sure what the ball is for, but it is not for deep tissue massage. I can get a lot more pressure from a foam roller - this ball was a disappointment.

This ball works great. For body rolling, it works wonderfully. It has just the right softness, to get into the back muscles for that release I am looking for. My other body rolling ball costs over twice as much as I paid for this one, and it doesn't work quite as well. A good product that I can highly recommend.

Customer Reviews


Overall, I love the chair, the company needs to put better wheels on it and provide a better pump (or none at all).FitBALL Office Chair Package
Prior to buying, I read a lot of the negative reviews. Some of them stated that the ball went through the chair and touched the ground. I would say that it must not have been pumped up enough. I have no problem with this and I have the chair adjusted all the way to the lowest setting.
Another complaint was that the back support is too far back. The purpose of this chair is to built your core, and you are not going to do that by leaning back onto a back support. If I sit back further on the ball, my back is supported if I need it to be, but I do not usually sit that far back.
Another complaint was that the chair did not fit properly for the height of the person, I would suggest some research to make sure you understand what size ball you should buy.
I like the fact that this ball is unbreakable , compared to other ball chairs. It also has a sturdy frame. I think that the wheels will be the first things to go, they are cheap. Don't even bother with the pump, it doesn't work. Use a bike pump with the correct fitting.
One thing that was not clear to me and I think I finally found something that explained it was how to pump up the ball. You need a ruler to measure the height of the ball. You don't use pressure, like other blow up items.

A great buy for the money! The best of it's comparable types and it's adjustable. I've had it about a week and like it. I plan to get another one in the future.

My sister in law recommended the stability ball, and after trying this one, I am a firm believer in it. It is easy to use and I felt the workout the day after. I don't have much time to exercise so this is the perfect tool for me. I really like it.

My particular stability ball was white. No problems in using this ball for sit-ups, push-ups, and other types of exercises on carpet and smooth wooden floors. I would not recommend applying sudden force to it. Also, it can attract dust. I have cleaned it with some success using a damp, slightly soapy rag. As a whole, I really like it.

Customer Reviews


It's soft but sturdy, light and the perfect size for stabilizing and position control for stretching exercises and support for things like sit-ups. It even comes with its own little aid for getting it blown up into shape, so there's no need to hunt around for a pump and making it easy to get just the right amount of individualized firmness. It's even fun -- and reasonably safe -- to chase around the house getting in those last few steps to meet my daily step quota!

I had seen the Bender Ball Info-mercial on TV and wanted to purchase one, but was wary of having to purchase all the extras that usually come with an info-mercial. I googled and searched around and thought the Amazon 9-Inch Mini Exercise Therapy Ball was about the same as the Bender Ball. Well, it is, but it isn't....... It is more than 9 inches. It's more like 12, and is too large for the exercises I want to do. So-o-o, I'm rather disappointed! I'm trying to use it with less air, but it doesn't work very well at all.

I purchased this ball to sit on while at my home computer. Not only does it help to strengthen my posture, but it comes in handy to do other fit exercises as well (crunches, etc). It is very durable, and I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a sturdy and fun exercise option.

unfortunately, i must agree with the reports of other customers who received the wrong size excercize ball when ordering. the ball received was 65cm (possibly 55), not the 85cm that was ordered. i was hopeful that the issue would be corrected by now, but alas it is not.
the included pump also came apart while inflating the ball, due to bad glue... hopefully there is a better / more accurate product somewhere else.

Customer Reviews


I'm very pleased with this exercise ball. The pump was very easy to use and the ball has held up nicely. I'm definitely glad I didn't spend more!

First, the pump that came with this product completely fell apart on its first use. I wasn't able to pump up the ball for weeks until I found a friend who had an electric pump I could borrow. In that time, I foolishly threw out the box and receipt thinking once I had it blown up it would be fine. I ordered a 65cm ball, the box it came in said it was a 65cm ball, the measuring tape came with it said it's for a 65cm ball - but the ball itself is no where near 65cm. I don't know what size it is but it's way to small and comes no where near filling the measuring tape. It's too small for what I need and now I'm stuck with it. I will never order J Fit anything again.

Customer Reviews


This is a nice heavy-weight stability ball. It was difficult to find a 45 cm, and I am very short so this is exactly what I needed. The pump that comes with it is virtually useless, but that does not affect the quality of the product or its purpose. Excellent product for the price.

As other posters have said, the pump is cheap and virtually useless.
It does come with a needle valve for deflation and 2 valve plugs.
I have an Isokinetics hand pump and this ball was a breeze to inflate using it. Two of the inflation adaptors work on this ball's valve nicely and they insert deep enough into it that they did not pop out during inflation.
Finding a reasonably priced, good quality 45cm ball has been a challenge. This one filled the bill nicely.

Customer Reviews


I use this ball to sit on while using my computer. My last ball recently popped, it was very large, so I needed a replacement. This ball has very high-quality, thick rubber(or some kind of plastic) and will not pop any time soon. It has a band that goes around it to tell you when to stop inflating, my ball didn't ever get that big, it has been 2 weeks. If the measuring tape is correct, the ball inflates to about 82cm. Plenty big to sit on. I had to use a different pump to inflate this ball with. When I need to make quick fills after the ball has stretched out, I use the low-quality pump that came with it. Comes with 2 plugs, they do not leak air until they are completely out of the ball. The color is a strange blue(if you look closely it is a mix of light blue, dark blue,and black all meshed together) wish it was black, but it is not too ugly, darker than in the picture, not green. Did not stink when I opened it, has absolutely no smell! I am very satisfied with this ball, it is worth the extra 5 bucks.
UPDATE: Still very happy with this, great purchase. Has not changed color and hasn't lost much air (i fill it every 3 months to keep it firm). Very comfortable to sit on, perfect size. Still amazed it didn't smell horrible when I opened the package!

I think it is a good product but it was very hard to input air. It took more than 3 days. First day I used attached pump. oh my gosh...takes forever. Second day, I tried with a bike pump but somehow it doesn't fit into hole well. Third day I pull out an electronic pump from my garage. Again it doesn't work well...I remembered that I have a pump from another brand small exercise ball and finally it worked..... Oh my goodness so much energy only for this ball. Smell? Yes still smell but I will wait a week and hopefully it will be gone.

Customer Reviews


Although this mini fit ball appeared to be of good quality, it was far larger than the advertised 7 inches. Gently inflated, the diameter of the ball was at least 9.5 inches. OK but not for what I needed (Pilates mat work). I returned the product to Amazon at their cost for shipping because of this error.

Well so far I have been using this as a resistance in between my knees and for my lateral crunches only.Its the right size for me , I am only 5'4" and 116 lbs.
However the material feels not as strong as the THeraband type ball but so far no problem yet but I dont use it for my back extension and abs work.

Customer Reviews


My chiropractor put a few of these on the waiting room chairs and while I initially shied away from it (it looks strange, right?) I eventually sat on one as I became curious. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the springiness of the disc and the relief on low back muscles. I don't think you can sit on it and help bouncing a bit either because it feels so good to do so. I also found that the disc decreases tension/resistance as you lean over to pick up a book, drink etc. I'm thinking of getting one for my car and possibly for inexpensive gifts...Note the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that I don't find this shade of blue particularly appealing; it's slightly dated.

I'm an Occupational Therapist working in a private school and this cushion has helped many kids with low tone, ADHD, and children with sensory issues. The teacher even commented on how the kids were not getting up and moving around as much. She also said it was nice to see them concentrating on getting their work done. It has really helped kids in the 1st and 2nd grade. I am also experimenting with some low-engine kids in jr. high. I am very pleased with this product and it is cheaper than on therapro site.

Customer Reviews


This is a great quality ball, just like the one I use at the gym. The purple color was pretty much as pictured and I didn't have any problems with the smell as previous reviews have stated. The pump quality does not match the ball quality. I would use a double action or better pump, otherwise it takes forever. The extra money for this ball is well worth the quality. I am happy with my purchase.

Love Love this ball , wonderfully made I had another cheaper version that ended up being popped , this sucker really is progessional grade and worth the extra couple of dollars :)

My main gripe about this ball is the surface is really slick so you slide on it doing certain exercises. I prefer the textured kind that has more friction.

Though advertised as 65cm, once fully inflated I measured it as 71cm. This isn't a problem unless you are in between sizes like I am (I have a relatively short 31" inseam for my 5'9" height). I probably should have opted for the 55cm.
Otherwise, this is a decent ball. It holds air adequately; I only have to top-off with air once every few weeks. I also like the neutral, pearl color which is much better than the super-bright colors of other balls out there.

Customer Reviews


I've only had this ball for a little over a week, but I really like it. I've been doing exercise videos, one of which recommended a fitness ball. I never really liked using a fitness ball at the gym, but I decided to go ahead and get one anyway. Well, this is much better than what I used at the gym! Sturdy, good quality, and the right size (I learned that the ones I'd been using at the gym were too large). I've noticed there are questions about what size on a lot of reviews of different balls. Some people say that the "cutoff" between a 55 cm ball and a 65 cm ball is 5'3" instead of 5'6". I'm 5'3" and the 55cm ball is perfect for me. The balls I'd used at the gym look more like the "burst resistant" balls instead of the professional ones. The professional stability ball is definitely nicer. It was easy to pump up with the supplied pump too. I guess I'll report back if I have any problems with it, but thus far it looks like a very good purchase. I'm enjoying the exercises with it as the balance challenge adds an interesting element. Nice fitness ball!
---- Some time later ----
Okay I've been working out with the ball for a while now, and it's great. The only real problem is that I'd like to add more air. I've tried and tried but can't get the plug out. I can't do it with my fingernails, pliers are impossible to grip it with (and might hurt the ball anyway), sticking various items under the head of the plug hasn't worked so far. Is there a special tool I need to buy to remove the plug? I did manage to remove it once before, but over time it's become really stuck in the air. In general, that's a good thing; but for adding more air, it's difficult.
---- Later ----
I wrote the manufacturer and they suggested working the plug out by using 2 dimes. Or my brother-in-law did it in 2 seconds flat using a butter-knife. :) So it hasn't been a real problem. I've had the ball quite a while now, and it works great. I've done some long stability-ball exercise classes, and this is perfect for them. Very good quality.

If you search the page you will see that the professional quality balls are 10 to 15 dollars more than the simple "burst resistant" balls. In my opinion, it is money well spent. The professional ball is rated for use with weights: bench presses, inclines, flyes, etc. This 55cm GoFit ball comes with an excellent DVD. The DVD offers 3 training programs: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The person performing the exercises on the DVD does an excellent job showing the proper form, and the individual doing the naration is very knowledgeable. The icing on the cake is the excellent booklet included with the ball. The booklet includes 36 pages of black and white photos and follows the DVD perfectly.
I should add that an air pump comes with the ball. It's adequate. I must also add that the size ball you order is determined by your height. I'm 5'6" and I find that I'm comfortable with either a 55cm or 65cm ball. If I had to choose between the two sizes, I'd go with the 65cm ball. I'm incredably happy with my purchase and have just ordered a second ball.

I train people for a living and have sent all of my clients to this seller for their exercise balls. Being one that works with different sized people on a daily basis on the Max Fitness balls, I can tell you that they provide a great product and they are very fast to get it to my clients. I own one myself. Thanks for the great product and service.
Jason P

I ordered this ball because I didn't like the bright colors at my local stores. I wanted something neutral that wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb in my home. The shipping from Max Ltd. was super fast and the ball was pretty quick and easy to inflate.
I actually bought this as a "birth ball". I'm 8 months pregnant and sitting on the ball helps relieve back pain/pressure, hip rocks feel great on it. Gently bouncing on it has gotten my baby down into position! I'll be using the ball during labor and after I have my baby. Babies love to be bounced on it and it's a comfortable seat to nurse on. I'll also be using it a few months after the birth to work out on and drop my pregnancy weight.

FitBALL Pearl Stability Exercise Ball

 

Customer Reviews


Have you ever had an exercise ball that picks up every piece of fuzz and lint on the floor Most of them do because of the "sticky", "latexy" and "rubbery" texture. NOT THIS BALL It has a texture that does not pick up hair or lint or anything else like that. The Fitball came recommended to me by a physical therapist at the hospital in which she and I both work. She had ordered one for our rehab department and I loved it. If the Fitball can hold up under the pressures of a busy rehab department, it can definitely keep up w/ me! :-o
In short, if you're looking for an excellent exercise ball that won't attract Fido's fur or those sneaky little dust bunnies, but WILL give you endless exercise options, you won't go wrong w/ the Fitball.

I've had my same pearl Fitball 0 cm 65-26" size ball for at least ten years if not more. I've been sitting on it while at my computer at home. I had back pain from a car accident years ago and decided to use a ball to sit on so I could still function and it has made a difference all these years keeping my back happy.
This particular brand ball has been very good and
even lasted through the abuse of a pre-teen that thought
it was fun to bounce on. After all these years I am wondering
where my pump is because I want to give it some more air. I haven't
pumped it up since I bought it so I think it may need a bit more
air after a decade of use. If I can't find my pump, I'm still going to use the Fitball for sitting because it still is
great for keeping my back happy.

They inflate easily with a hand air pump (bike pumps not recommended). Clinic packaging (in polybag, not retail box). Pumps sold separately.

Product Features

  • Burst resistant and softly deflates if damaged
  • New-style surface is warm and non-slip
  • Doesn't show fingerprints or attract dust and grime
  • Guaranteed not to leak or puncture with normal use
  • Small holes can be repaired with an instant adhesive-type glue

I bought a 65cm Sport Soft Edition FitBall directly from BallDynamics to be used as a birthing ball during the delivery of our son. The hospital ended up having balls there so we didn't need to use ours for that purpose. However, after arriving, our son liked to be held while gently bouncing on the ball. This became a daily routine for us to help him fall asleep and has worked well for the last 3 months.
That is until the ball popped! It was used on in a carpeted room for bouncing with a baby. Nothing strenuous in any way, but one day I sat down on it and it just deflated. (I'm 6ft, 185lbs - no where near the 1,250 lbs capacity they claim on the ball.) There was a small tear on the side of it where it had burst and all the air rushed out. No hope for repair, especially since the tear spread once I picked the ball up to look at it.
I tried to return the ball to BallDynamics but their customer service agent told me that they only had a 30 day return policy. She informed me they MIGHT exchange it for me, but I would have to pay up front for a new one and they would refund my money for the first ball IF they got it back and decided they wanted to. She had a tone in her voice that I was NOT getting a refund for the first ball, so I declined.
I explained to her that I paid more to get the ball from them because of their claims for "Burst Resistant Quality" and that I could get a cheaper ball at the local fitness store or off Amazon, but that didn't change her stance any.
I'll find another brand and use that from now on. BallDynamics won't be getting any more of my money.

This is a great product! I'm a full-figured fella (I displace quite a bit of water)
and was looking for a fitness ball that could stand up to the force of my
weight. I found it! It is incredibly liberating to know that my 300 lbs.
is only half of what this product can endure. I'm using it daily and can
already feel a difference in my core muscles. My wife loves it too!
I highly recommend the FitBall Exercise Ball by Gymnic.

I bought this to sit on at work. I was hoping that it would help my posture (I have a tendency to slump) and strengthen my core to help address some lower back problems.
After a month of use, I love it and have recommended it to several people--including people at work who want to know what the heck I'm sitting on.
As I hoped, it basically demands good posture. Also, my abs are definitely getting stronger. I could feel it working about 20 minutes into the first time I sat on it. And today I noticed in the mirror that my upper abs definitely have more definition.
Great for anyone who wants a core strengthening exercise they don't have to think about and that doesn't add any time to your day.

I bought this to use on my desk chair to improve my posture and make working at my desk less sedentary. Because you have to subtly but constantly work at maintaining your position your muscles will definitely feel it until you get used to it. All in all I'm very happy with it and it was worth the price just for the laughs the first time I sat on it!

I had a shipping problem with my ball, and I also ended up with the wrong size. Max Fitness went the extra mile and met all of my needs with 100% integrity. They were pro-active and gracious.
I also love the ball. One qualification for those of you considering getting a ball. The size of the ball may depend on not only your height but what you are using it for. In my case, I'm 6' tall and I use the ball to do Core Exercises as taught by Gunnar Peterson and the 65 cm ball is definately too small for me. The 75 cm ball works for me, and I'm completely satisfied both with it's quality and the excellent service I received from Max Fitness in the process.
You can't go wrong with these folks.

I like this ball now that I have it set up- it's great for stretching and even as a chair. However, when it arrived it had an oily residue all over it accompanied by a terrible chemical smell- maybe I'm just oversensitive to these things, but it was really overpowering. I washed it as best I could, and the smell has faded over time, but avoid this product if you have any sensitivity to smells or chemical.s

Customer Reviews


I have been sitting in the exact same chair at work for almost five years, and recently, my body had started to complain about it. I had the idea of sitting on an exercise ball for a large part of the day, and shopped around a little before getting this one. After three weeks of sitting on it almost 10 hours a day, I couldn't be happier. Physically, I feel much better, and the ball itself seems to be holding up extremely well. I am about 5'6", and this ball is the perfect size for me to sit on. It holds its air well, and I haven't had any issues regarding a rubbery smell (which I hear can happen with these things). I definitely recommend this.

I took a look at quite a few stability balls before buying this one. I wanted a ball that could handle weightlifting excercises and the use of heavier dumbbells while still feeling secure under my body. This unit fits the bill very well. It is very good quality. I had no problem pumping it up with the supplied pump. It has held the air very well since I pumped it up. The included DVD is a nice added touch for those who like to have pictured step by step instructions. There is no lasting rubber smell that I can detect. I am very pleased with this purchase. I had also followed up with GOFIT customer support prior to my purchase to get some additional information and to see how they respond, and it was a good experience. Thumbs up on this product.

GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball

 

Customer Reviews


I bought this GoFit 75cm Stability Ball as a replacement for my desk chair at home. I've learned (from a trusted source) that sitting on a stability ball can burn 100 calories an hour. After using this for a month now, I'll bet that's true.
As for this specific stability ball - it's certainly a heavy-duty ball. It states a burst-rating of 1,200 lbs. I work at home and probably spend 6-8-hours a day sitting on this thing and it's very comfortable. At 6'2" and 220lbs, the 75cm size is perfect for use at my desk.
Use a bigger air pump if you have one. The pump that comes with it will take you a month to pump it up. I used a small portable air compressor and even that took a while to inflate. I did have to re-inflate it a bit after the first few days once it settled-in. That was no problem. I just used a pair of pliers to remove the plug.
I looked everywhere, but there were no instructions on inflating the GoFit ball that came with it. Not that it's rocket-science to pump up a ball, but a few tips might have been helpful. I used a long level and a measuring tape to figure out when the ball was close to full-inflation. Just hold the level (or a yardstick, etc.) on top and measure the distance from the level to the floor.
The DVD and booklet that come with it seem to be a good bonus too.
All-in-all, a great Stability Ball for what I needed -- and a much healthier option than sitting in a regular chair all day!

I use this ball as a desk chair and it meets my needs perfectly. For some context, I'm 6'1", 200 lbs, and my desktop is at 30" with 25" clearance underneath. I inflated the ball to almost exactly 75 cm without any concerns. The included pump is adequate, but you'll pump for 15 minutes or so. The plastic plugs seal up the ball just fine, and come out easily enough with the help of a pointy object. I haven't had to do this but once initially to adjust the amount of air. It has held the pressure pretty much constant for 5 weeks now. The ball does not pick up lint and dust, so it stays looking clean. I like that it's rated for so much weight--it doesn't feel at all vulnerable to bursting, even when I bounce on it, which is a nearly automatic reaction to sitting on the thing.

I'm 6'5" 270 pounds. So when I looked into stability balls I was really concerned with whether one would support me. So far, so good. I got it yesterday, blew it up in a few minutes, and sat on it (hesitantly at first) for over an hour. Then worked out for about an hour. It seems very durable and able to maintain my weight without a problem. The exercises on this thing are super effective, as I can feel today. The ball is just right as far as size goes.
Someone complained about the pump, but I found it efficient. It's like a huge syringe. It worked fine. It only took me a few minutes to pump the ball up and that was with my one year old hanging on me so he could mess with the ball.
If something happens and this product fails in some way, I will immediately update this review so that anyone who's concerned can know. So if you don't see an update, the TKO's going strong.

I have two exercise balls -- one for home and one for work.
This is the ball that replaced my office chair at work. I sit on it daily, frequently bounce on it when no one is around, and it has rolled around my floor with coworkers a couple of times. I've only inflated it once (the initial time) in the time I've had it -- over three months I weigh about 130lb (+/-) so I don't add a ton of constant weight on the ball. It has lost some air (it's not perfect after all), but it's still very firm. (I will probably re-inflate it this week or next.) Three additional bonuses about the ball: (1) since it's a dark color it doesn't pop out at people as they walk by me at work; (2) it's neither sticky nor overly smooth; and (3) it's anti-burst. The ball has a good texture that keeps you in place but doesn't pick up lint/dust. Some balls seem to attract it. Also, if you've seen that episode of "The Office" ([...]) you can appreciate the importance of an anti-burst ball. I haven't tested out this feature (and don't plan on it!), but I am glad that it is there since ANY stability ball can be popped.
The exercise ball that I have at home (GoFit) has lost air much quicker and I don't use it 1/10th as frequently! When I replace my GoFit, I'll definitely go with another TKO!
