Customer Reviews

Good ball but DVD not great.
I bought this set to help me exercise when it's too cold to go outside and it's done the trick. I really feel the benefit from using the ball and I enjoy working out with it.
I've had no problem with the pump as other customers have done and the ball is good quality. However I didn't find the DVD very helpful and actually bought another one (I went for Oz aerobics) to use with the ball. As you can buy Reebok gym balls by themselves cheaper elsewhere I would recommend doing that rather than buying this set.
Also I didn't realise that gym balls come in different sizes for different heights, luckily this one is the right size for me but find out what size you need before investing.

A good thing to have
This is a really nice way of working on your posture. Having done yoga for a little while, work with the ball made me realise I don't use all muscle groups to their fullest extent in my yoga practice. I use it for sitting on a few times every day, especially when using my laptop -like now.

The thing is sturdy, bouncy, generally of good quality and has slightly sticky feel so you don't slide off it.

Only 4 stars because the pump supplied didn't work (so gave my lungs a bit of exercise!), and the technical quality of the DVD supplied wasn't brilliant (the content is nice: well presented, motivating and provides sufficiently detailed instructions).

There are cheaper alternatives if you don't want a DVD and a (defect) pump with it, but for me this purchase was fine.

Faulty Pump
I got my Reebok Gym Ball today and was very disappointed when I found that the pump imcluded did not work. Looking at other customer reviews I see that other individuals had the same problem. I think that this problem should be addressed by Amazon and/or Reebok and do not advise anyone to purchase this item until it is sorted out. I'm sure that the actual ball is fine but it is impossible to inflate without a pump and this set is not cheap to buy. Avoid getting it here and buy somewhere else.
