I ordered two different products and I sent this one back as it didn't retain the air I pumped into it.

I purchased this ball for 2 reasons, 1. I am about 6ft tall and it does go by height, when you use one in a gym they don't often have one sized for tall people. 2. If has a 600 lb limit...not that I am 600 lbs, but I am heavier and I wanted to know I had a sturdy ball, beyond my weight. It was easier to pump up than I thought, there were no instructions per se, but it's not rocket science. I noticed afterward there was an instruction on the plastic covering the pump on which end to place the tubing. The pumping just takes a little time, and I am so glad they give you the tape to measure the circumference, or I would never have blown it up enough. You think it looks done and you still have a ways to go. I was still shy about 5 or 6 inches, but it seemed good. I like that they give you a little tool to lift the pin out of the ball to start pumping, and they give you an extra pin in case you lose it. The DVD is one of those mini ones, I haven't looked at it yet. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

I followed the instructions for exactly how much to pump up the ball, and the ball would NEVER stay fully inflated. I just ended up throwing it away. I should have demanded my money back. It was more like a high quality beachball than a respectable exercise ball.

The ball is wonderful and works like it should. I am over 6 foot tall and this is the perfect size for me! I have used if for about 6 months with out any issues and have never had to add air. Love the stretching exercises and workout you can get with one of these.
The review only gets 4 stars due to the pump included to inflate the ball is not worth using. I had to modify it with some duct tape to actually get it to work. (Couldn't find my bike tire pump or I would have given up all together on the included pump!)

The title says it all. My only complaint is that the stem that holds in the air is difficult to remove even with the little tool they provide. I suppose if it came out too easily my complaint would be much more negative because then it wouldn't stay inflated so I will accept this lesser of the two evils. Comes in a neat box with the accessories that stores nicely under my desk (I keep it at work to sit on) and keeps my foot pump at the ready whenever needed.

It is a great ball. I use it to sit on it and do my work or exercise with it. Also, what I can't understand it said it is 600-pound body ball but when I bought it..it was written for 300-pound body ball. Other than that the ball is the same exact thing in the picture.

Just got this excercise ball and it's really nice. One question though, what does 75cm mean? I measured the inflated ball and it measured 50 cm (20 inches) high and 165 cm (65 inches) in diameter. I wanted a taller ball with more width, but this one is really nice if you are looking for one 20 inches high.
