My first Body Ball

2007-11-13
This is my first item of this type so I have nothing to compare it to but here are my observations. The ball comes with a chart that will give you an idea of what you can do with it. Though, it is just a big ball after all.

It takes a good while to inflate with the included pump but my 12 yr. old son had fun doing it. The ball seems sturdy enough but it doesn't hold air as well as I'd hoped. I attribute the air loss to the simple plastic plug used to stop up the inflation hole.

I would buy from them again because the price is right but it would be nice if they could find a better seal.

exercise balls are great!

These are great to workout your entire core. Helps to improve balance, posture, and overall fitness. I recommend its use to anyone of any age!

durable, good and useful ball

2007-11-01
This product is great. It comes with a pump and extra plug. It needs random pumping of air into it, but I use it once if not twice a day. The ball works great for everything that i've done, and it comes with a little poster of workouts you can do. I definitely recommend this to others looking for easy ball work outs, and instructions.

Just what I wanted

I've wanted one of these for a while and I was not disappointed. The directions for blowing it up were very clear and the pump was easy enough to use that my two young sons could help me. (It takes a while so their help was greatly appreciated.) Just found out I am pregnant so I'm sure I'm going to love this thing even more!

Easy to pump, great size - very comfortable to use!

We're really happy with our body ball, which we purchased to use during our upcoming birth. The ball is just the right size (I'm 5'4 and hubby is 5'11, and we can both use it comfortably), and feels very durable. The pump has both an inflate and deflate feature which makes it easy pack away when not in use, and the included measuring band to inflate to the correct size was easy to use. Overall, a great deal that will get lots of use at our house!

ball developed hole after 1.5 months

2008-05-25
This ball randomly sprung a leak after only 1.5 months of use. I was initially relatively happy with the purchase, given the price and positive reviews. However, after my experience, I would not recommend it.

Furthermore, the really cheap pump that comes with the ball cracked during the first pump, and I had to use duct tape to hold it together to finish inflating the ball.

I would not recommend this as a quality buy.

valeo fitness ball

I love the ball. My only issue with the ball is that I probably should have gotten the larger ball even though the 65 cm ball is made for my hieght (5'9") I find that since I am larger and lovelier weight wise the 75cm ball would have given me a bit more height during my workouts putting less strain on my knees and neck when doing crunches.

Birth ball

2008-04-27
I bought this to use as a birth ball. I haven't given birth yet, so I can't attest to how much it helps with that, but I can say that I love sitting on it right now. Being 35 wks pregnant, my back hurts a lot. Sitting on this ball instead of a conventional chair seems to help a lot. I even sit on it at the computer desk sometimes.

ball split into two equal sized pieces

I enjoyed the ball for about three weeks, but I discovered it split in two pieces one day for no known reason. I plan to get another, but not this brand.

Stability Balls

We like the prodcut, but two of the twenty six popped the minute we blew them up. We have several we have not blown up and I'm nervous they will pop too. I'm sending the two back as I believe they are defective. The other are working out nicely.
