I purchased this ball to sit on while at my home computer. Not only does it help to strengthen my posture, but it comes in handy to do other fit exercises as well (crunches, etc). It is very durable, and I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a sturdy and fun exercise option.

I am an equestrian who recently had to recover from a bad injury.I'm not wealthy and could not afford some of the glossy ways to return to my sport but while in rehab, I found the wonder of exercise balls. I found this one here on Amazon and have really loved it. In fact, I am about to buy my third one over a three year period. it isn't that they wear out but I use them out on my deck and occasionally a storm takes them! For me, it has been a great way to supplement my riding. There are so many ways to use an exercise ball that they are well worth the money.I get the 85cm because I am tall and I want a size that most closely replicates my position on a horse. They were designed for Pilates but are great for playing equestrian and can be used to sit correctly at a desk!

The little foot pump work's great. To me, it is not at all difficult to pump up. This is a great piece of exercise equipment for any home, anyone in the family!

I find JFit to be the best exercise ball. I own 3 and have them everywhere (office, home, etc.). I use it for exercising as well as stretching and they are great.

Company sent wrong size. As for the pump-- the plastic "nozzle" does not match the threads, the pump itself- hardly pushes air... previous balloon inflation experience recommended.

The product itself is fine, except that what I got was definitely 75cm and NOT 85cm which was annoying because I already have 2 75cm stability balls at home and I REALLY NEEDED 85cm.

I wanted a stability ball that was large enough I could use it as an office chair. To give you some reference points, I have a taller than average desk, I am 5'7" but my inseam is 33", and I prefer chairs that have my seat higher than my knees. I read all the reviews of the different stability balls Amazon has on offer and the size recommendations. I decided on a cheap 75cm ball. It was okay (no leaks, blew up well enough) but there was no way that ball was 75cm fully blown up (nor could I add any more air). As such, my seat was way lower than my knees... it was like doing a squat. Also, the color was awful (the color of raw salmon) and the texture was odd (very porous). Anyway... not happy, right? So I ordered the 85 cm JFit in black.... the price was only a few dollars more but it was well worth it! Ironically, I liked the pump that came with my salmon disappointment more so than the one that came with the JFit but the JFit is great. I can sit perfectly on it. It is just the right height for my legs, my seat preference and my desk. I would estimate that your seat would be higher or equal to your knees on the 85 cm ball as long as your inseam is 34" or under. Also, it holds up well under my weight (180-185lbs)... keep in mind weight makes a difference if you use a ball as a chair. For instance, if I weighed 120, I might prefer the 75cm (maybe... the 85 cm has you sitting up tall, which to me is nice)

After reading the reviews and many people saying they received the wrong size ball, I ordered two anyway. I too received product much smaller than 85cm. I sent them back and I am still without equipment needed for my home rehab regime. I don't know where the confusion is but I sure hope it gets corrected as to not inconvenience anyone else.

I ordered the 85cm ball and was sent the wrong size. I returned the ball and asked for a replacement. The replacement that was sent was exactly the same as the first ball...the wrong size again! I'm going to order a different ball if they can't send the correct size in two tries. Don't order this ball even though it is the cheapest 85cm ball on Amazon.

I have purchased two stability exercise ball, One ball surface has patch up. Pump provided with both balls are demaged. Company never tested product before sale. I am disappointes with product.
