 Just the way I like itJan 25, 2007
By G. Choudury
No problems with delivery. At first it felt like a big hard block, then I remembered to inflate it a little. Feels great, exercises muscles in a very different way than regular weights. Have had it about a month, air pressure is holding up nicely.

 Ok..some issuesFeb 13, 2008
By 6th grade teacher
I love the Valeo fitness ball, my only problem is that when it came it was extremely deflated and nothing like the image on the site. I wasn't expecting to have to purchase a pump to go with the ball. Would probably not buy this product online again.

 Not very satisfiedJul 03, 2008
By LadyK
I do not like this ball because it is filled with sand that sloshes around as you move the ball. It is very annoying. If the sand completely filled the ball, it would be acceptable. I think I would prefer a medicine ball-which is actually what I thought I was getting anyway.

Thought it was like a boxer's ball, but...Jan 16, 2007
By Joshua R. Groves
It's much smaller and is basically an elastic ball filled with a sand-like material. It's actually quite fun to just toss it around and all that jazz. Works great for working out as well!

5" diameter means 5" diameterJun 07, 2009
By J. Liu
It's obviously my fault for not realizing what 5" diameter means, but I was surprised to find this quite a bit smaller than I was expecting. This actually ended up okay (once I bought a medicine ball that was closer in size to what I was visualizing) because certain lifts work better with a small ball, especially one that be gripped with one hand.
The ball does need a tiny bit of air pumped in before use (a needle is provided in the packaging), but it is a little annoying to have the inner volume be 80% sand, 20% air, which you can definitely feel.
This is a very simple product and, paraphrasing the immortal Dennis Green, "it is what we thought it was" (just make sure you think it's a 5" ball).
