Product Description

Isokinetics Inc. Ball Chairs are the same chairs sold by others, only at a manufacturer direct price. No middleman means no need to pay more! And, we provide all of our chairs with a 1 year guarantee. As an additional bonus, we provide an exclusive exercise ball measuring tape that takes the guesswork out of inflating your ball. Sitting on an exercise ball while at home or work promotes flexibility, coordination, motor skills, core strengthening, and balance. Your body, when positioned on top of an exercise ball, is constantly making small adjustments, often imperceptible, to remain balanced and thus is constantly exercising a large group of muscles in doing so. By strengthening your body's core muscle group you help improve your posture, have better balance and guard against back injuries. It may take time before your body becomes accustom to sitting on an exercise ball, since your core muscles may not have gotten much exercise previously. Start by using it 10 to 15 minutes a day and gradually work your way up. If you have had back problems or injuries, make sure to consult your physician or therapist first. Note: We provide a small pump for free for you to have a way to inflate your ball. However, exercise balls require a lot of air and it will take a lot of pumping with the free pump. So, you may want to consider purchasing at this time a high volume air pump, especially if you use exercise balls a lot or have other things you often inflate, like pool toys or air mattresses.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice desk chair, March 8, 2009

I had a ball chair from a different company and was pleased with it until the front ball support snapped off and I landed on the floor on my tailbone. This chair seems much more secure and I have no fear of falling off. I don't know why any of them bother with a back rest. As you have to sit on top of the ball, it's not comfortable at all to try to lean back on the support. The wheels don't lock so one must make sure one is taking the seat right on top so the chair doesn't roll backwards as you are sitting down. But overall, I do like the much sturdier feel of this chair (the other was a plastic base) and it is very comfortable if you have lower back problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, not comfortable for long periods of sitting, May 9, 2008

This review is from: Isokinetics Inc. Brand Fitness Ball Chair - Choice of 52cm Ball and a Pump (Misc.)

The chair works great for a short period of sitting. After about an hour of sitting, my butt starts to hurt. After a day, I can harldy stand up because my rear end is so sore. The ball is harder than a normal desk chair and rounded up and out instead of a typical rounded inward chair. If you are constantly up and down or just want it as an extra chair it is fine, but I would not recommend getting it for an office chair to use 8 hours a day. The chair is sturdy and made well and the ball works great as an exercise ball. The ball is a very good quility exercise ball.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good ball chair but poorly constructed, August 31, 2009

I have been using this ball chair since purchasing it in Feb, 2009. The ball sites in a metal ring with 4 caster posts and a fitting for the seat back welded to it. The casters insert into the posts and has 4 holes for adjusting the seat height by about 2 inches. The back rest attaches to the fitting on the bottom ring using two curved metal pieces. The ball chair works as described - I use it all day and it promotes good upright posture. The welds that hold the back on broke in June after 4 months of use. Since I weigh 170 lbs this seems more like a manufacturing defect than a misuse of the chair issue. I have sent the company several emails requesting a replacement part but have never received a reply. So I like the concept of the ball chair but would buy one that was better constructed.
