 Ball leaks, pump designed poorly -- definitely not recommendedOct 20, 2008
By Nathan Andersen
"film lover, philosophy professor"
This was a very disappointing purchase. I purchased this brand because of its advertised "burst resistance" -- and while it hasn't "burst" it has slowly fizzled.
I bought it for my office, both as a way to fit in ab crunches at work and as an occasional alternative to sitting in a hard office chair. Once inflated it seemed perfect. Unfortunately, after a couple of days it had deflated significatly. I pumped it back up, and made sure that the plug was secure, but when I returned the next day it had once again deflated.
Obviously there is a slow leak somewhere. I am confident that this was not my fault -- since my office floor is clean and carpeted.
Another flaw in the product was highlighted for me when I had to inflate the ball a second time. While it was a pain the first time, I didn't care since I didn't think I'd have to do it again. But the second time reminded me that it is a pretty tedious process, since the pump doesn't pack a lot of air. You have to pump hundreds of times and it takes at least ten minutes working fairly quickly. What's more, the nozzle end of the pump needs to be held tight against the hole in order to prevent air from leaking as you are pumping -- but since the nozzle is smooth it is hard to get a grip on it so you have to hold very tightly, and it still slips out fairly often. Even worse, as I was holding the nozzle in and trying to pump, my hand kept getting pinched. Like another reviewer of this project, I found that the skin between my thumb and forefinger was red and raw by the time I got the ball pumped up.
I would definitely not recommend this product to anyone -- even if I just happened to get a defective ball, the poor design of the pump gives reason enough to select a different brand.

 Ball + Pump -Sep 17, 2008
By jpav2010
The ball seems fine, though the material is thinner than my other burst resistant ball. The pump however is terrible. It does pump up the ball but "high volume" it isn't. This is the worst designed pumps I have ever seen. While pumping it has to be held firmly down by the nonpumping hand. However, the handle for holding it means your hand slips down towards the ball, and it's way to short to fit into my or my friends hand (and she has small hands), so we could only use two fingers and a thumb. When finished, which was done in spurts, my finger was red and sore. Hopefully the ball will last.

 Body BallNov 25, 2008
By Scott
While the delivery was prompt, this ball does not inflate properly and creates an egg shape versus a rounded shape, making it very difficult to achieve the proper positioning for some exercises.
Don't Buy This BallJun 15, 2010
By Samantha Hampton

This ball has the worst pump I've ever used. Cheesy is a word that comes to mind. The tubing is too short, the bellow is the cheapest thing I've ever seen, and it was a struggle from the beginning. This is a 75 cm ball, but there is no way that this ball can be pumped up to that size. Terrible. Don't bother. Go to a retail store, and buy a ball and get the store clerk to pump it up for you.
Bad Choice!Oct 26, 2009
By Donald Price
"dope"
Didn't get the brand, or color I ordered. Missing the DVD. and the pump broke before the ball was even half way inflated! When I called to get the right stuff they said I would have to send it back at my own cost. Very displeased!
