Great for Kids who love to bounce or jump!
I bought this for my son as a recommended by his PT for his flat feet, Sever’s and Plantar Fasciitis he developed in his right foot. He is very active in all he does and so to keep him off his feet some his PT suggested the balance ball. He can still be active but limit the time on his feet excessively jumping and bouncing. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your feedback

    Very good quality and sturdy. I really enjoyed using it and it held up well over time. If it weren’t for my cats digging their claws into it, I’d likely still have it even after four years. It’s durable, well made, and great for balance and core workouts.

    I bought these to use at work at my desk, but it’s a little short for what I need. That could be because I am short. I will still get plenty of use from this though. It’s good quality and a great price.

    Update:
    Ok I was wrong. After a lot of talking to others someone figured how to get the plastic stopper out. She was able to find a tool. I came in one day and the ball was fully blown up. I apparently didn't blow it all the way up. I sit on it frequently now and I'm able to stretch my back. I have updated the stars and admit I was wrong. It is a good ball.
    I got a very small ball. The box says large 65 and that’s what I ordered. I have another of the size I ordered but this is way smaller. I can’t use it as my knees are in my chest. I can’t get the plug out either to deflate it. So I can’t return it. The ball itself is of good quality. But even the tape that came with it is larger. I can’t get anymore air in it. Not at all happy.

    Why did you pick this product vs others?:
    Other exercise balls I've tried have been a disappointment because they were way too soft when compressed with body weight. I was happy to see that this Gaiam ball is made from a heavier/thicker gauge material. When it is inflated to the 65cm (25.6") diameter the ball is properly firm and does not feel squishy like a water ballon.
    Hint: As with other gym balls I've experienced, the included hand pump works but will be a slow workout to inflate the ball. A minimalist electric air compressor for bicycle tires will quickly fill the ball. After that, the hand pump is adequate for topping up the pressure if needed.
    Someone commented about not being able to fully seat the sealing pin. A very light smear of silicone grease on the pin will solve that.
    Gaiam gets points from me for including the 'parking lot' ring. Gym balls frequently seem to have a distant destination in mind when you are through with them.

    The size is not accurate. It doesn’t fit the base, its way smaller. Not good to sit on for working

  • Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2025

    Pump is terrible – the adhesive does not hold so you have to hold it together while trying to inflate the ball. I expected better, especially because every other balance ball I’ve purchased over the last 20 years has not has this issue.

    Fast delivery. It was a challenge waiting the 1st 24 hours. Followed blow up instructions. No issues. 75% of back pain and pressure relieved after just 5 mins of use. So grateful for this exercise ball. I can start my much needed yoga journey now!

    Useless without a bike pump

    Reviewed in Australia on November 6, 2020

    Color: PurpleVerified Purchase

    There was little to no point for the pump that was included in the box, and was still completely useless for top-ups after it was fully inflated. I, initially, could not get the ball inflated to within 15cm of the specified diameter using the included pump – despite letting it sit for 24-hours & trying to pump it up further, allowing for stretching to occur. I had to order attachments for my bike pump to be able to get it fully inflated, which was really annoying. But, once it was fully inflated, it works great. I also really like the ring base that keeps it from rolling anywhere … super usefully when you have to get up frequently when working on a project. My old ball would always end up rolling into my flat-mate/flat-mate's desk, which annoyed both of us. So, overall positive after the initial frustration.
