FitBall Exercise Balls

by Fitball

Product Features

• Burst resistant and softly deflates if damaged
• New-style surface is warm and non-slip
• Doesn't show fingerprints or attract dust and grime
• Guaranteed not to leak or puncture with normal use
• Small holes can be repaired with an instant adhesive-type glue

Product Description

Unlike other balls that may burst when punctured, even when purposely punctured with a knife or other sharp object, there is no danger of sudden lack of pressure. Don't settle for competitive balls that inflate unevenly and puncture easily. The FitBall by Gymnic comes in 4 different sizes to match optimally to your height. They inflate easily with a hand air pump (bike pumps not recommended). Clinic packaging (in polybag, not retail box). Pumps sold separately.

1.0 out of 5 stars It popped!, March 7, 2008

I bought a 65cm Sport Soft Edition FitBall directly from BallDynamics to be used as a birthing ball during the delivery of our son. The hospital ended up having balls there so we didn't need to use ours for that purpose. However, after arriving, our son liked to be held while gently bouncing on the ball. This became a daily routine for us to help him fall asleep and has worked well for the last 3 months.

That is until the ball popped! It was used on in a carpeted room for bouncing with a baby. Nothing strenuous in any way, but one day I sat down on it and it just deflated. (I'm 6ft, 185lbs - no where near the 1,250 lbs capacity they claim on the ball.) There was a small tear on the side of it where it had burst and all the air rushed out. No hope for repair, especially since the tear spread once I picked the ball up to look at it.

I tried to return the ball to BallDynamics but their customer service agent told me that they only had a 30 day return policy. She informed me they *MIGHT* exchange it for me, but I would have to pay up front for a new one and they would refund my money for the first ball *IF* they got it back and decided they wanted to. She had a tone in her voice that I was NOT getting a refund for the first ball, so I declined.

I explained to her that I paid more to get the ball from them because of their claims for "Burst Resistant Quality" and that I could get a cheaper ball at the local fitness store or off Amazon, but that didn't change her stance any.

I'll find another brand and use that from now on. BallDynamics won't be getting any more of my money.

10 year veteran personal trainer, I have been working out almost my entire life and Gymnic balls are the only ones I will use. Beautiful and strong they hold air better than all the rest ( how about never having to refill!!!:)) and they stay looking shiny and new as well. Also the colors are nice red blue and yellow. No hideous Teal green to ruin your gym appearance. BEST FIT BALL ON THE MARKET! BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!!! Get 2 though, 1 smaller and one bigger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Product!, May 20, 2007

This is a great product! I'm a full-figured fella (I displace quite a bit of water)

and was looking for a fitness ball that could stand up to the force of my

weight. I found it! It is incredibly liberating to know that my 300 lbs.

is only half of what this product can endure. I'm using it daily and can

already feel a difference in my core muscles. My wife loves it too!

I highly recommend the FitBall Exercise Ball by Gymnic.
