Great ball for working out and it is just the right size for my height( 55cm). I have a back problem and it is recommended I use one of these balls. I have just started using it so we will see if it benefits my back. Hopefully it will.

Good quality, heavy duty ball. The web site description is spot on.

I got this ball several days ago and I consider it a great ball at a very reasonable price. It is attractive( looks just like the picture), feels good on the skin, is made from very sturdy material( definitely professional quality) and did n't have any odor right from the start. It really measures 75 cm in diameter. I found that the best way to pump up this ball is to use a compressor to get a good shape and then switch to the supplied pump to top off at high pressure. Unlike some other reviewers, I found the pump to be excellent. It is obviously designed to deliver small amounts of air at high pressure so I was able to get a very firm ball in short order. It pumps on both the upward motion and the downward motion which is a very intelligent and useful design. However, it would take a long time to fill the ball completely using only the supplied pump. When I bought the ball it was not advertised to come with a DVD so make sure you check on that first before ordering. I 'm 6' 3' and 220lbs and this ball is the right size for me for general exercising. I can use this ball all day long and it will last forever.

It feels very sturdy, and after the first week or so, I have n't needed to add any more air( ~4 months, if not longer). The excercises on the ball itself are nice- you do n't need to consult a booklet when you want a spontaneous workout.

I 've only had this ball for a little over a week, but I really like it. I 've been doing exercise videos, one of which recommended a fitness ball. I never really liked using a fitness ball at the gym, but I decided to go ahead and get one anyway. Well, this is much better than what I used at the gym! Sturdy, good quality, and the right size( I learned that the ones I 'd been using at the gym were too large). I 've noticed there are questions about what size on a lot of reviews of different balls. Some people say that the `` cutoff '' between a 55 cm ball and a 65 cm ball is 5' 3 '' instead of 5' 6 ''. I 'm 5' 3 '' and the 55cm ball is perfect for me. The balls I 'd used at the gym look more like the `` burst resistant '' balls instead of the professional ones. The professional stability ball is definitely nicer. It was easy to pump up with the supplied pump too. I guess I 'll report back if I have any problems with it, but thus far it looks like a very good purchase. I 'm enjoying the exercises with it as the balance challenge adds an interesting element. Nice fitness ball!---- Some time later---- Okay I 've been working out with the ball for a while now, and it's great. The only real problem is that I 'd like to add more air. I 've tried and tried but ca n't get the plug out. I ca n't do it with my fingernails, pliers are impossible to grip it with( and might hurt the ball anyway), sticking various items under the head of the plug has n't worked so far. Is there a special tool I need to buy to remove the plug? I did manage to remove it once before, but over time it's become really stuck in the air. In general, that's a good thing; but for adding more air, it's difficult.---- Later---- I wrote the manufacturer and they suggested working the plug out by using 2 dimes. Or my brother- in- law did it in 2 seconds flat using a butter- knife.:) So it has n't been a real problem. I 've had the ball quite a while now, and it works great. I 've done some long stability- ball exercise classes, and this is perfect for them. Very good quality.
