GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball
I bought this GoFit 75cm Stability Ball as a replacement for my desk chair at home. I've learned (from a trusted source) that sitting on a stability ball can burn 100 calories an hour. After using this for a month now, I'll bet that's true.
As for this specific stability ball - it's certainly a heavy-duty ball. It states a burst-rating of 1,200 lbs. I work at...

Not too useful without a functional pump!
The ball itself seems like it would be nice and sturdy -- unfortunately you need to actually put air into it. The accompanying pump is completely non-functional. The only exercise we are going to have with the GoFit Stability ball is the effort it takes to return it.
Update a week later: OK...finally found a different pump and managed to inflate the ball...

GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball, September 30, 2009
This review is from: GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball (Sports)
I bought this GoFit 75cm Stability Ball as a replacement for my desk chair at home. I've learned (from a trusted source) that sitting on a stability ball can burn 100 calories an hour. After using this for a month now, I'll bet that's true.
As for this specific stability ball - it's certainly a heavy-duty ball. It states a burst-rating of 1,200 lbs. I work at home and probably spend 6-8-hours a day sitting on this thing and it's very comfortable. At 6'2" and 220lbs, the 75cm size is perfect for use at my desk.
Use a bigger air pump if you have one. The pump that comes with it will take you a month to pump it up. I used a small portable air compressor and even that took a while to inflate. I did have to re-inflate it a bit after the first few days once it settled-in. That was no problem. I just used a pair of pliers to remove the plug.
I looked everywhere, but there were no instructions on inflating the GoFit ball that came with it. Not that it's rocket-science to pump up a ball, but a few tips might have been helpful. I used a long level and a measuring tape to figure out when the ball was close to full-inflation. Just hold the level (or a yardstick, etc.) on top and measure the distance from the level to the floor.
The DVD and booklet that come with it seem to be a good bonus too.
All-in-all, a great Stability Ball for what I needed -- and a much healthier option than sitting in a regular chair all day!

Nice ball, great video, August 31, 2008
This review is from: GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball (Sports)
This is a high quality stability ball and the pump is also very good. I wish the ball came with instructions. I needed to inflate my ball 3x's in the first week to maintain proper inflation, but I think that's normal. (I just used a flathead screwdriver to pry the plug out--its seems to have caused no damage.)
The video that came with it is excellent. It includes a good variety of exercises which are clearly explained and modeled.

Great Ball, March 4, 2010
This review is from: GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball (Sports)
I love this ball. I use it for workouts, and also my chair for at the desk. I find this to be a very sturdy ball. Inflating it was not very hard. I found that if you can use a air compressor that was much easier than the hand pump. It is a very sturdy ball and not a lot of things stick to it which is nice for around the house. It was also big enough for me to use, I am 6'2 so if your tall this will work for you.

Exactly what I was looking for, August 19, 2010
This review is from: GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball (Sports)
I am 6', 280+ lbs and wanted an exercise ball to use as a desk chair - this one is perfect! It is exactly what they say it is and is durable enough that I'm pretty sure I could strap it on and jump out a two story window onto it without it bursting.
75cm is also the perfect height for my desk.

Excellent Quality, July 18, 2010
This review is from: GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball (Sports)
I've tried a few different stability balls in the past and this is by far the best I've used. And it's big enough to use as a chair which is what I use it for.

Great Exercise Ball, July 12, 2010
This review is from: GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball (Sports)
This is a great ball, very durable and easy to inflate. The pump that cam with the ball worked well, I had ordered another pump because of reviews from others, but didn't use it. The pump with the ball worked just fine for me. There is a great training book and video included. I'm a big guy and the ball supports me just fine.

A REALLY GREAT BALL, July 9, 2010
This review is from: GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball (Sports)
I got this ball several days ago and I consider it a great ball at a very reasonable price. It is attractive (looks just like the Amazon picture), feels good on the skin, is made from very sturdy material (definitely professional quality) and didn't have any odor right from the start. It really measures 75 cm in diameter. I found that the best way to pump up this ball is to use a compressor to get a good shape and then switch to the supplied pump to top off at high pressure. Unlike some other reviewers, I found the pump to be excellent. It is obviously designed to deliver small amounts of air at high pressure so I was able to get a very firm ball in short order. It pumps on both the upward motion and the downward motion which is a very intelligent and useful design. However, it would take a long time to fill the ball completely using only the supplied pump. When I bought the ball it was not advertised to come with a DVD so make sure you check on that first before ordering. I'm 6'3' and 220lbs and this ball is the right size for me for general exercising. However, it is too high for sitting at my computer. But I like it so much that I am going to buy a second ball at 65 cm for computer use. I can use this ball all day long and it will last forever.

Another "desk chair" user, June 21, 2010
This review is from: GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball (Sports)
I had a 65 cm ball that was too short for me (6 ft). The 75 cm ball is the right height for me. I love that it keeps me moving while I'm sitting at my desk. It also provides me with a reason to sneak in some crunches every now and then. It takes a few days to get used to sitting on it, but I think I've actually lost a little weight in the week or so that I've been using the ball.

Great Swiss Ball, March 3, 2010
This review is from: GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball (Sports)
This is a great Swiss ball. Big enough for me (I am 6' 4"). It is strong enough to hold my weight too. Comes with a CD and exercise guide, which I have never used. Has everything you expect from a Swiss ball.

Heavyweight, June 18, 2010
This review is from: GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball (Sports)
I looked at a lot of balls before I chose this one. I wanted one that would hold my 400 pounds without busting and leaving me in the floor. This ball fits the bill! It is very sturdy and comfortable. I bought it to use as a desk chair and ordered the 75cm because I thought it would be more comfortable. Let me tell you, the ball is huge! I probably should have bought the 65cm, but this one fits my 6 foot 3 inch husband perfectly. We're very pleased with it. I feel safe bouncing on it and my kids love to play with it also. Oh, and I pumped the ball up by hand with assistance from my 5 year old using the included pump with no trouble at all.
