Pure Health Burst Resistant Train Ball

A great exercise ball
I needed to get a stability ball because I recently started physical therapy in connection with surgery on my spine. I also have a baby in the house, so non-toxic was really important to me. This ball pretty much has no odor at all. It’s a great surface and definitely inflates to the full 65cm if you follow the instructions–inflate to 80% size the first day, then wait 24 hours, then inflate to full size. I’m throughly pleased with my purchase, though, it’s only been 2 days since I owned the ball. I’ll update this review if I encounter anything negative. The air plug works fine, and I haven’t had any difficulty inserting or removing it with my bare fingers.

a good, low-odor ball
The main thing I like about this ball is that it doesn’t have that awful plastic odor. Right out of the box it did have a sort of acidic smell, so it spent it’s first couple of weeks in the garage, airing out. (And that’s why I gave it only four stars.) But since then it’s been fine–and I’m really picky about such things. As a bonus, it doesn’t gather dust and hair and lint nearly as much as other exercise balls. It has a good feel, good resilience. Still holding its air after a couple of months.

Doesn’t fill, awful pump, and doesn’t hold air.
No matter how much I pump up this ball it will not inflate above 55cm and loses air incredibly quickly. I was hoping to use it as a desk chair as well as for exercise but after an hour of sitting on it I notice that it has lost a significant amount of air. Furthermore, the pump is completely worthless and you can’t even stop pumping to check the fill level without losing all of the air you just added. I am going to try to return this as it was a complete waste of money.

so I bought this so I could have better posture and help baby get into the optimal position
I bought the “small” 65cm ball in olive for pregnancy & labor. I’m currently in my 3rd trimester and should not be lounging in chairs or on the couch anymore, so I bought this so I could have better posture and help baby get into the optimal position. I previously had a small Gold’s Gym ball (pictured next to the Natural Fitness ball for size reference), but it was too small for my needs (your hips need to be above your knees). This ball is the PERFECT size! I am 5’3 and when I sit on the ball, my knees are below my hips, but my feet can still be firmly planted on the ground. Above all, this ball does not smell AT ALL!! And I feel great knowing they planted a tree withy purchase.

First day, but love it so far: high quality ball (great colour), easy-to-use pump, pleased my purchase means a tree will be planted. My one complaint: the side of the box lists the contents — ball, pump, exercise instruction chart — all of which arrived but for the chart. If the seller is reading this, I would be glad for the chart, even an electronic version would be welcome.

I chose this over so many other brands because of the reviews, which indicated that this product is pretty much odourless. I am glad that mine is the same. Like a few others mentioned that they didn’t receive a pump, mine didn’t come with a pump either. Mine didn’t have a user manual either. I got another inflatable disk trainer in the same order, which came with a hand pump. So I tried with that first. It was way too slow. So I improvised using my bike floor pump, some tape, and a pin. It took me about 15 minutes to inflate the ball to 58cm. The air stopper is very difficult to be inserted all the way flush to surface. So I just left it where I could best do – it’s about 1 cm sticking out, and put a couple tape over it. I have been sitting on the ball at my desk for the last 5 hours, it was not deflating.On the product description, the 65cm is suggested for people of 5’8”-6’1”. I am 5’3”, and I know it by experience that I need at least the 65cm for sitting or working out.
