Product Description

Product Description

Isokinetics 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Comfortable, August 20, 2008

By	Linda Bowen "lpoebowen" (wy United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I and 3 of the girls that work for me got one of these "chairs". Two of us had been using a regular exercise ball, but due to the fact we are up and down alot during the day we decided to try the ones that are on casters. The "chairs" arrived sooner than expected and were easy to set up...well, except for the air pump, it was cheesy. We used a better pump we had on hand. The only problem I could state is the fact that the brakes on the casters will lock on their own, but it hasn't been a huge problem.
As far as the total experience of sitting on the ball chair all day at work, getting up and down and moving from the keyboard to the file drawer without having to get up (as I had to do with the regular exercise ball) it is a great chair! The exercise ball by itself took concentration and it was not good to wear a skirt or dress while sitting on it. With the casters it's no problem to wear a dress.
One of the girls had been using the Wii Fit Board prior to sitting on this chair. After about a week or so her fitness scores went up on the Wii; for better balance and core fitness. All of us have noticed better posture since using the ball chair. It is possible to slouch while sitting on it, but it is not comfortable to slouch. For some reason it is just more comfortable to sit up straight.
One of the girls had been having minor back pain and she said she hasn't had it since using the ball chair.
We do get allot of comments from customers about how weird or funny it looks, but it has not deterred any of us to go back to a regular chair. It just gives us a chance to applaud the attributes of how much better our balance, posture and core fitness is and tell them "We are always on the ball".
Of the four of us that bought the chair, we all like it 100% and have not gone back to the regular chairs provided to us by the county. We have all been using the Balance Ball Chair since the day we got them, 1 1/2 months ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ergonomic chair, January 25, 2008

By	Katya Martell "kmartell" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this chair here - the same chair my friend got somewhere else for $150! I've been using it for 2 weeks and love it! I have a really comfortable leather office chair, but I slouch in it, and really wanted a better desk set-up. I have to say that I'm glad I kept my old chair, because as I get used to sitting up with good posture for long periods of time, sometimes I need a break. My middle back muscles start to hurt, just because they are weak, as I've been slouching at my desk for so long! My chiropractor said to just keep with it and the muscles will get stronger, and its true, I can sit in on this chair for hours at a time now.

The pump isn't that bad - at first you think its going to take forever, but its really only 10 or 15 minutes. I definitely recommend following the directions and filling it up to 80% and then letting the ball sit for 24 hours before inflating fully. After the 24 hours and filling mine up to 100%, I had to let some of the air go to get to a comfortable height for my desk. Easy to do.

Only two problems - I ordered the red ball, and I got yellow. I'm keeping it, the yellow is cool, just not what I was expecting. Wasn't a big deal to me. The other problem is that my 2 year old wants to take the ball out of the chair and play with it all the time. =)Good thing I have another chair to use when he's around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why pay more?, August 31, 2007

By	Bill Nicholas - See all my reviews

I bought one of these Isokinetics chairs for my wife and, yes, it does appear to be the exact same balance ball chair others are selling for a lot more. Nice quality. A neat little thing they provide with the ball is a measuring tape designed for exercise balls. It tells you exactly when the ball reaches the right size. I've got to say the pump that comes with it is a lot of work, like 15 minutes to fill the ball up, but what do expect for free? Good buy.
