 Works, but requires weekly maintenance November 12, 2008
The ball works like I expected, but slowly leaks air. You need to keep a tab on it else it'll gradually shrink and become squishier.
The video was very short and didn't really provide as full of a workout as I would've liked.
I'll be venturing with other brands to see if I can find better quality once this one gives out.
 You get what you pay for - dont be fooled by positive reviews! October 25, 2008

The quality of this ball compared to others on the market is shockingly bad. It feels as if it may burst at any moment, and the accompanying pump is pathetic: it takes for ever to fill the ball with air.
You get what you pay for. Mine is so bad I don't like using it, I will buy a new one from Amazon.
Good, sticky October 24, 2008
I bought this to sit on in front of my desk because I didn't want to sit in an office chair and ruin my back anymore. It suits my purpose really well. It was really tough pumping this thing up with the provided pump, it took forever. The only significant complaint I have is that I have hardwood floors and a cat. The ball is sticky and it picks up EVERYTHING that is not attached to the floor, including cat hair, lint, dust, dirt, whatever. My wife is a neat freak so it isn't that we aren't sweeping and mopping all the time. I tried cleaning the ball in the bathtub with floor cleaner but it didn't help much. Maybe some goo be gone or WD40 will work but I haven't got around to buying any yet.
Good item October 6, 2008
This is what it claimed to be, my only problem is that it is hard to pull out the air plug when it needs to be pumped up. It keeps it's air in well to a certain point. I have never owned one before, so I am uncertain if it is supposed to be slightly soft, but that is what it is all the time. Over all I am happy with this product.
 Great deal October 6, 2008
I was a little hesitant to buy this after reading one of the reviews that stated the balls only lasted for a few days before they had to be pumped up everyday.
I'm glad I decided to buy it anyway. I've been using it for the past few weeks without any problems. If you just want it for your personal use, go for it and you won't regret it. The price is really good especially considering you get the pump and DVD.
The pump is kind of cheesy and it took me forever to get the ball ready but it hasn't required any further pumping up so it's all good. Also, I don't think the pump is any different from the ones you get when buying other balance balls.
The DVD is a compilation of exercises from the Gaiam series. I had never worked with a balance ball before so it was a very good introduction to it.
