Customer Reviews

Great buy!
Previous reviews have criticised the pump, this is harsh as the pump comes free with the ball as an added extra! Lots of balls don't even include a pump. If stuck without a pump, you can easily blow the ball up with your mouth, it took me no time at all, and i managed to blow it up as much as i wanted to.

I think the ball is great for exercise, extremely rhobust and it doesn't burst, no matter how many times I've collapsed on it after a set of shoulder exercises!

Really, a great buy!

In my opinion
5 ft 10 so ordered larger ball - 75cm. Glad I went with bigger ball as at the moment only just big enough. Currently only blown up to 65cm, 3rd attempt to make it bigger but worried about how far I can push the rubber without it exploding as it seems quite taught already. However it does say to blow up to 75% one day then finish the next. Already on day two. As with previous reviewers which I ignored the pump is useless. Was happy to sit and pump to get the thing up, took ages but no matter. However when I went to increase on 2nd day the pump broke, the valve got stuck in the ball and by the time I got it out about 50% of the air had gone! Fortunately I managed to find an attachment to my car foot pump which fitted and this was a more efficient way of blowing up the ball but not yet at 75cm. My rating of two stars reflects the pump problem as if you weren't fortunate enough to have a foot pump you would now be struggling. I didn't find putting the stopper in a particular problem. I have also bought a DVD as otherwise wouldn't know where to start, you do need quite a lot of space and higher ceilings than I have for the particular CD I bought. Also if you are thinking of getting a furriball cover they do not appear to do them for 75cm balls.
Hope this helps

A very decent optiion
This ball is definetly worth the money. Whereas other cheaper options deflate more easily, i only have to top mine up about once a week.

Yes, it does take about half an hour to pump up, but why do you buy a gym ball not to become fitter (from excessive pumping).As a ball it is very solid even for my 14 stone.

It is definetly burst resistant as i have rolled it over quite a few pens.
For your house this is an incredibly good option.
