Product Description
The innovative BalanceBall Chair lets you reap the benefits of the popular BalanceBall right at your workspace. This patented design lets you do tension-relieving techniques while seated in the chair - or simply remove the ball to stretch and strengthen key muscles without a trip to the gym. Relieves stress on the spine, helps prevent back discomfort and repetitive motion disorders, helps prevent health issues related to poor posture, illustrates non-impact strengthening exercises and stretching and keeps you active, even on busy work days. When you sit in the BalanceBall Chair, the ball acts as a shock absorber and eases your body into an ergonomic position. When your muscles become stiff or whenever you want a break, the exercises in this guide will help you relax, build strength and foster a wide range of health benefits. Exercises performed with the BalanceBall in the chair offer maximum support, stability and convenience. Exercises performed on the ball alone allow greater range of movement. The BalanceBall Chair was developed with Dr. Randy Weinzoff a pioneer in chiropractic care. Trained at the acclaimed Palmer West University in California, Dr. Weinzoff runs his successful practice in Santa Monica, CA based on his philosophy of "Vitality through total alignment of the whole being." Some assembly required.

 Gaiam Ball Chair October 7, 2008
The chair seems fine; however, the thing they provide to inflate the ball is terrible. It stopped working almost immediately. Now I have to find a way to inflate the ball before I can use the chair. Not too happy about this!
 Good Chair for Space Challenged Environment September 23, 2008
This compact comfortable chair is great for small spaces, such as condos. It is an unusually comfortable and set up was a breeze.
A Novelty Seat September 22, 2008
It's comfortable, good height for a desk. Would be better with a higher backrest. Wheels for moving around are just OK quality. It's good for a second chair to use when you need a change.
 Not good if you have lower back problems September 18, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased this chair hoping to strengthen my abs and back to alleviate recurring low back pain. Unfortunately, it has actually made the problem worse. It seemed like a logical thing to do at the time: purchase a chair that's going to give "correct posture" , etc., but it turns out the what's correct posture for one person can be incorrect for someone else. Unfortunately, the Gaiam Balance Ball Chair does not allow for the level of adjustablility needed for me to sit comfortably in an office situation.
The Best Darned Office Chair!! September 11, 2008
I have now been using the Gaiam Balance Ball Chair at work for one month. My back & neck pain at the end of the day is gone. Having Scoliosis, Fibromyalgia and bad posture, that says a lot. No more slouching or rigidly trying to sit up straight. It's amazing how you just naturally and comfortably sit straight no matter how much multi-tasking you are doing. Three other people in my office are going to be ordering one as well. This is by far the best office chair I have ever had!!
