Ball too small
»
I wish the seller had included the coinciding heights of people. That would have prevented me from buying the wrong size. They said they would call to do an exchange; I Haven't heard back yet.

Cheap plastic inflator breaks! The ball isn't any good if you can't inflate it!
»
I purchased this ball about 6 months ago. It took FOREVER to inflate it with the manual inflator they provide. Even with the use of an automatic air pump (which there is no adaption for on this ball), it took forever and I eventually had to go back to using the manual inflator, which, by the way, is not efficient because it requires you to give short quick bursts of air either by hand-squeezing or stepping on it. After I inflated the ball to full capacity it leaked some air out over time, but it was still usable.
Then after some time I deflated the ball so I could pack it up when I moved. I just got the ball out again and tried to inflate it with the manual inflator provided. Well the inflator broke because it is made of thin cheap plastic. And since the ball does not have an adaptor for either a bicycle pump or automatic inflator, I have no way of inflating this ball again! What a bummer.
I have a feeling that a lot of people giving such high reviews have only had the ball for a short time. Yes, it is a good ball once you get it inflated, but be prepared for the inflator to break. I highly suggest finding an exercise ball that either has a sturdier inflator or can be adapted to be used with a bicycle pump or automatic inflator.

A cheap alternative to a therapy ball.
»
My son suffered a brain injury and requires ongoing therapy, alot of which we do at home. An average therapy ball cost upward of $70. This exercise ball fit the bill at a fraction of the cost. We use it for stretchings, balance work, weight bearing, and simple play. A welcome find. Child is 3' 4", 48lbs. Works great as a therapy ball for his size and weight. Can not vouche for its intended use as an exercise ball for an adult, as I have not employed it in that fashion, though I can say it has held me and my child in a seated bounce (approx. 225lbs).

Disappointed
»
This Valeo Body Ball(blue) was used by my daughter who weighs less than 100 pounds. She takes an acrobatic class and used the ball to help her excercise and stretch. The ball began to deflate after less than a week of use. We are going to try to inflate it again but would not recommend this item.

The right ball...the wrong color!
»
I ordered this product and no where did I see anything but a blue ball. I wanted the blue one. Hey, if it's going to be in my living room for daily exercise use...I wanna like the color. It's BRIGHT RED! So I'm keeping it, but my face is just as red as the ball!
