 Fabulous! Oct 13, 2009
By Lisa G. Cunningham
I love the texture of the ball... it's slightly bumpy/rough-ish, not shiny or slippery and the colour is darker than I thought it would be, but I still love it. I use the ball as my office chair, like so many others are doing, and within the first few minutes my back was less achy and I was suddenly more alert. I am curious as to how much better the balls are inside the ball bases/stands that convert the ball to look more like a chair, but honestly, I think the ball does fine on it's own. It's also great for those boring moments at work when things are going slowly... I just start a little bounce and it puts a spring in my sit ;-).
I haven't had any problems with the ball deflating, but when I first pumped it up I thought it was surprisingly small... but that was because I didn't realise I could pump pump pump until it was larger (despite the "burst resistant" name, I was concerned that I would pump it too full of air and it would pop once I sat on it).
I highly recommend this ball to anyone who loves purple or wants to try out a ball for an office chair!

 Stability Ball Aug 09, 2009
By yiota
I don't love it. The texture is sticky, high friction might be a better phrase for that. Even if you follow the instructions you have to blow it back up to desired firmness fairly regularly.

Does not hold air very well Sep 23, 2009
By TruthSeeker
The Fitness Ball does not seem to hold air very well and I need to top it off almost every day to retain the level of firmness that I desire. Would recommend potential buyers shop around for a product that does not need this much attention.

I bought this for an Office Chair - Not quite 65 cm Feb 04, 2010
By mister sweet sugar
I followed the directions on this. letting it sit for 24hours. After pumping it up the next day with the accompanying hand pump (I'm a strong guy), it still is under 65cm. However, despite that, the height is pretty okay, while the firmness is solid.
Again, this is my new office chair. I'm 5'10 and it seems okay. Albeit a little disappointing that it didn't get as big as advertised. But that's the only disappointment. Color is great. Texture is great. And I'm helping the earth, because according the box I just helped plant a tree. ;-)

Great office ball! Apr 13, 2010
By Lorika
I use this ball as my office chair. I was thinking I would switch off between my regular chair and the ball, but once I got on the ball, I haven't switched back. Not even once. It's fun to sit on a ball rather than a boring old chair. Plus, with a ball, you can bounce! I also do sit ups on it by pulling myself under my desk a couple times a day. It's nice to have a tiny workout any time I want. If I'm bored with something or sleepy, I just do a few sit ups, or bounce and I'm alert again. I've found that the ball is also a great way to crack my lower back - which feels great.
Even though there is a professional version of this ball, the only difference I can see is that it didn't come with a measuring tape like the ones my coworkers got with their professional balls. I also really like the texture of the material much better than the rubbery stuff some balls are made of. This one is also healthier for me and the earth- and the company plants a tree!
I would most definitely recommend it and would buy it again myself.
