CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.5 based on 60 reviews)
| Ball is fine, but pump is total crap by Customer 3 Stars November 01, 2009 The fitness ball itself is fine - although it gradually loses air over time.
The main problem is the pump. The pump is complete crap. While pumping the hose will detach from the pump, you'll lose a bunch of air, you'll reattach the hose, and then the valve will pop off the other side causing you to lose even more air. Basically, it will take 5 times longer to pump up the ball than it should.
It's a good ball, but the pump will test your patience (and your ability to find small objects (the valve) that have shot off the pump half-way through use).
| | It works like a charm. by A Lewis (Virginia, USA) 4 Stars October 12, 2009 This ball works great. So far (I've had it a little over a month) I've only had to add air to it once, but it also gets used a lot by not only me for workouts but my 3 kids and husband for play too!
| | Good reminder to do good throughout the day by H. Chicas (Alexandria, VA United States) 5 Stars October 06, 2009 I've been thinking of small practical ways to reset my bad behaviors. Seating on an exercise ball is one the easiest/fast to achieve. I've done it and while it's a little hard (not too much) for co-workers to see you seating on a ball. It is a good reminder to seat straight, stand up a little more than usual and helps with balance. I don't know much about balance tho' I don't think it's doing much for me in that regard. The white ball gets filthy fast. It may also get warm if I seat on it for hours at a time which then again reminds me to stand up and get water or something. I really recommend this product. 65cm is about 25.5" inches high. Which was a little taller than the chair I had. I imagine the bigger ball wouldn't have been apropriate in my case. The 65cm is a good height.
DO this:
- Seat on an exercise ball during the day
- Keep a food log
- Incorporate exercise in you routine 3-4 days a week.
- I bike or walk home from work. It takes 30-60 minutes.
- Buy an Heart Rate Monitor (I have the Polar F6) to track calories burned and of course your heart.
- Social support is good too. I do share my goals, successes and fails on twitter. It's less embarrassing than doing it in facebook and still it is real people (that you may not know that well) I think of it as of my weight watchers. I've lost like 7 pounds doing all of the above.
| | Good quality ball, but the pump is frustrating by Amazon Addict (Redmond, WA) 5 Stars August 09, 2009 I purchased this ball to do exercises prescribed by my chiropractor. The quality is very good--it's sturdy and I don't feel like I'm sitting on a balloon that's about to pop. However, the foot pump is flimsy and annoying to use. I had much better luck with an electric pump designed for inflating mattresses.
| | Came discolored, without a plug and without instructions by Maluk 2 Stars July 15, 2009 The product came incomplete and the customer support consists of a voicemail. I left a message and wasn't called back.
