2.0 out of 5 stars Air leak, disappointed
I used this ball for a couple months and before long it got a small puncture and leaked air. No way to repair according to SPRI. I wasn't particularly hard on the ball, but I didn't check the floor each time I used it either. I assumed it was more puncture resistant. I think it may have snagged on something. I would recommend the Elite ball, which is more expensive,...

2.0 out of 5 stars Air leak, disappointed, September 1, 2008
This review is from: SPRI SB65VC-PLUS Professional Plus 65cm Xercise Ball (Red) (Sports)
I used this ball for a couple months and before long it got a small puncture and leaked air. No way to repair according to SPRI. I wasn't particularly hard on the ball, but I didn't check the floor each time I used it either. I assumed it was more puncture resistant. I think it may have snagged on something. I would recommend the Elite ball, which is more expensive, in the SPRI line. The gym I go to uses the Elite ball and it looks much thicker. Why call this ball "Professional Plus" if it isn't all that durable?

5.0 out of 5 stars SPRI SB65VC Excellent Value, August 20, 2009

This review is from: SPRI SB65VC-PLUS Professional Plus 65cm Xercise Ball (Red) (Sports)
This exercise ball is of great quality and comes with air pump and plugs. It takes some time to inflate it and get it ready for use. It is rigid enough and supports the user well. They come in three sizes, small, medium and large. Select the size based on how tall you are. 65cm is the medium one.

4.0 out of 5 stars OK ball (my first) - some impressions, December 21, 2007
By

This review is from: SPRI SB65VC-PLUS Professional Plus 65cm Xercise Ball (Red) (Sports)
I bought this ball to sit on while at the computer. It is a bit big for that (my thighs aren't parallel to the floor) so I let some air out of it to lower my sitting height. Probably the best thing to do, as the ball fully pumped up is fairly hard, and sitting on it for extended periods might be uncomfortable.

For use in exercise they say your height determines what size ball you should use - not true. If you are 5'8" and have shrimpy legs and a long torso like me, you should probably go for the next size down - for exercise, that is.

The ball itself is bright red and made of thick, durable rubber/plastic. It was pretty stinky out of the box, and it still smells somewhat, weeks later. The included pump is merely sufficient, and it will take you a long time to pump up the ball with it. Better than nothing I guess. My ball doesn't inflate to a perfect sphere, but is flattened somewhat on the top and bottom. This is actually a plus if you are going to use it for sitting as it is a bit more stable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best exercise Ball, March 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SPRI SB65VC-PLUS Professional Plus 65cm Xercise Ball (Red) (Sports)
I'm surprise there are not a lot of reviews on here. This is actually the same brand I train with at 24 Hour Fitness. I've used several brands before, and this one beats them all. The ball material is durable, firm, and made of thick plastic. I mainly use this for abs and a good ball really makes a difference. Don't waste your money on any other ball because you definitely pay for the quality here. The most important is the firmness of the ball. Other brands I've used are too soft for a good core workout. According to the box, 65cm fits someone with a height of 5'8" to 6'3".

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Swiss Ball, October 7, 2011

This ball is so perfect. I'm only 5'6", but this is the perfect size for me. I had a smaller ball from a different company and it just wasn't tall enough. I highly recommend this brand, very heavy duty.

I am going to try to get a replacement ball from the manufacturer. It may just be that we got a bad ball, but I was very surprised when, after less than 2 months use, the ball developed a 1-inch+ tear along a seam. We can no longer use the ball.

Seems durable; this is the same kind they have at the 24 hour fitness I go to. Very wrinkly for awhile, but it goes away eventually.
