ProBody Pilates Small Exercise Ball with Pump - 9 Inch Workout Ball for Stability, Barre, Yoga, Core & Physical Therapy

My physical therapist recommended that I get a pilates ball to help build my stamina, stability, and core muscles, and to increase mobility after a recent surgery. After looking through quite a few brands and styles, I got this one because it was exactly the size I was looking for, and had an air pump. The ball is very sturdy and is super easy to inflate with the included air pump. (As an FYI, the ball hasn’t lost air since I first inflated it.) I am a beginner as far as using a pilates ball, but it is easy to learn proper fitness routines and placement because the ball makes learning exercises so easy. I am so happy that I got this one because it is easy to use, slip resistant, and makes doing physical therapy just a little more fun. I have been able to make some gains by incorporating this ball into my daily workouts so thank you Pro Body, for helping me to get my body back.

Very nice, comfortable ball to use. I love it! Works for me during exercise and stretching.

They are nice and heavy duty

The ball was fine but it wasn’t clear how to use the pump to blow it up. It was fairly easy to inflate it by blowing on the plastic tube which was included.

I had knee surgery in November and been doing PT and wanted this for home exercises. It's a good size and I opted for the version with the pump because I thought it would be easier then blowing it up by mouth. It's a little tricky to get the plug in after it's pumped up but I'm also okay with the ball not being fully firm. Have not had to refill since initial inflation. This is a good addition to a home exercise program.

It's a nice little ball, and I love the pump instead of having to blow it up.

This exercise ball is a perfect size for both me (I'm 5'1" tall) and my husband (he's 6' tall), AND the pump is a game changer! In fact, I almost bought a less expensive small exercise ball, but when I realized there was no pump included, I changed my order to this ProBody Pilates Exercise Ball. This exercise ball holds the inflation well but having the pump made the initial inflation (the ball comes flat/deflated) a breeze! I've used the pump to inflate exercise balls where I teach fitness classes, too. Love this!

We had been using this ball for about two months, and recently we left it on top of a wooden piece of furniture for about a week. When I went to clean up and tried to move the ball, I found that it was actually stuck to the surface and wouldn’t come off easily. It turned out that some kind of chemical from the ball had leached out, melted the finish on the furniture, and created a sticky mess that glued the ball to the surface. When I carefully removed the ball and tried to clean off the sticky residue, not only did it not come off easily, but the coating on the furniture ended up being completely stripped away. It’s shocking that this happened just from leaving the ball on the furniture — there was no extreme heat or direct sunlight involved — and yet the surface was ruined. The cost to repair the furniture has been estimated at several thousand dollars. Amazon helped me return this product even though it was past the return window. But because this product has a serious issue and I truly hope no one else experiences the same damage, I decided to leave this review.

Recién recibí el producto. La pelota tiene buen material. No es totalmente lisa ,tiene „ buen agarre“. Es mucho más grande de lo especificado. Mide 14 pulgadas no 9. esto último me decepcionó.

It's just a ball. What can I say.

I'm not impressed with the quality of this product.
