 The perfect stability ball! Mar 23, 2009
By Annissa
I love this thing!
It doesn't smell, doesn't pick up every tiny bit of dog hair and gunk on my floors, is environmentally friendly, blows up easily and comes with a subscription to fitness magazine! And for every one purchased, they plant a tree!
It's also good up to 600 pounds and feels nice and solid. I don't worry about bouncing all over the place on this thing, it's very sturdy and lightweight, too.
I've found I enjoy bouncing on this instead of sitting on my couch while watching TV and makes me feel like I'm being somewhat productive. ;)

 Dissapointed: Neither no-odor nor non-toxic. Sep 07, 2010
By Tom Jefferson
I searched the internet for the least toxic and lowest odor ball possible. I was excited to find this ball. However, the excitment was over when the ball arrived; it is neither no-odor nor non-toxic as the company promotes. Its odor does not make me feel as ill as ones made with phthalates, but I still felt a little ill. It has been offgassing for a week now. It is much better but still has a ways to go.
Some reviewers mentioned a problem with the color. I had the same problem. I was sent a dark gray ball even though the picture shows a blue ball. When I complained Amazon quickly tried to remedy the situation and sent me another ball. Unfortuanately, it was the same color. I checked on the Natural Fitness site and the grey ball is the color of their 75 cm pro ball. Amazon has the name right, but thier picture is incorrect. So if you don't want a gray ball, don't get this ball. I did notify Amazon and hopefully they will change their picture.
You may want to order a size larger than you need. I ordered this ball and have it inflated to 64 cm. At 75 cm it is very hard. I am 5' 5" and 64 cm is just right to use the ball as a chair (but I need a smaller one for exercise). My chiropractor says my legs should not be parallel to the floor while sitting. My butt should be higher than my knees. I am temporarily using another ball that has already offgassed for a chair and it really helps my back.
A reviewer mentioned there were no instructions. Instructions are included- they are just in an unexpected place. They are on the back of the fitness chart.

 Ginormous Ball (must be over 6'2'') Apr 23, 2010
By Joe
"Woodz"
The ball does absolutely what it's advertised to do. The only reason for not being 5 stars is that the online amazon description said nothing about having to be over 6'2'' to properly use this ball. Most online websites say 6' for the 75 cm ball... however when the ball arrived the packaging said 6'2'', and trust me, the packaging is correct. I am 6' tall and I cannot properly do all of the exercises because of the size of the ball (don't trust the balls at your local gym, they're probably underinflated...). Nice ball though, good color, dog hair does not stick to it.
The hand pump does take a while, probably 20 minutes to inflate, but just think of it as exercise.

Great ball Aug 07, 2009
By Lutetia
Sadly, I was sent the wrong color ball - it looks like 'slate' more than 'ocean.' But other than that I LOVE it!
It didn't fully inflate to 75cm (only up to 65 before pumping got difficult) but it still works fine for me.
It's a nice sturdy ball.
The 'fast pump' could use some improvement. It's neither fast nor easy to use.
And what I appreciate most of all is that it doesn't smell! And it's made of non-toxic vinyl. I also love the company's "zero impact program." It's nice to shop from such an environmentally friendly company.

As expected Apr 06, 2009
By J. Sullivan
I did a lot of "research" reading reviews for other similar exercise balls at Amazon, and am very happy with this one. I'm using it as my office chair now, and it is doing wonders for some hip problems I've been having over the last year. It arrived on time, was easy to inflate (took maybe 20 minutes?), and seems durable.
