GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball Reviews |
 Great Ball |
| Review Date: March 4, 2010 |
| Reviewer: F. Davis, |
| 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. |
Great Swiss Ball

| 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. |
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. I have to say the quality of the GoFit Ball is excellent. But I leaving them with one star -- as the pump you are paying for should actually work! |
Just got it. New to exercising.

Hello,
As the title states, I just got this product and I'm new to exercising.
The air pump that came with it is worth less. I couldn't tell if it was actually putting out air or not. So, I blew it up on my own. This only took 10mins or so.
I bought this because many of the 'No Gym' work outs that I have come across want you to own at least dumbbells & a ball. The price was right, I haven't watched the DVD yet, and Amazon has good stuff.
I am an overweight guy and this seems like a good way to increase the exercises that I can do with minimal investment and space consumption.
The little booklet that comes with it shows several moves. It looks like it will be a nice addition.
I'm looking forward to using this unit. I will post again or edit this one after some time. |
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 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! |
