 Excellent quality stability ball! |
| Review Date: December 14, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Beth Cholette, Upstate NY USA |
| I purchased this ball in the 55 cm size (red). This size seems ideal for my height (just shy of 5'5"), although choice of ball size is also a matter of personal preference. Unlike my previous ball, which was made of a thin, sticky vinyl, this ball is made of thick durable, smooth plastic. Furthermore, my previous ball lost air easily (I had to add air to it every time I used it), whereas I have NEVER had to add air to this ball since I purchased it almost two years ago. It is definitely worth the investment to pay a little more for a ball that is high quality and will never any maintenance, and so I highly recommend this product. |

| Reviewer: not-so-fit RN, San Diego, CA |
| Love it! My physical therapist had me using one while in PT, & I just bought one to continue the good work. If I have it around the house, I'm much more likely to actually do the exercises that I know I need to do, & I can do them whenever a commercial comes on during TV shows. It's sturdy, easy to inflate/deflate. I just took it on a trip out of state for aweek-long conference, & it really was easy to pack. Once @ the hotel, I asked @ the desk clerk if anywhere on site there was a bike pump, & it turned out they had a compressor that blew it up lickety-split, to just the firmness I needed. So I was able to do my exercises just as if I were @ home, & without carrying bulky or heavy exercise equipment along. |
Exercise Safely on Theraball

The Theraball brand exercise ball is one of the best on the market. Many physical therapists use them because of their very high quality. I just bought the 55cm ball and also own a 65cm one, which I've had for over a year.
The product holds the air well once it is inflated - so it is not one you have to keep inflating! It is good to know that it is an "anti-burst" ball too.
I had such a good experience with IsoKinetics, the seller on Amazon, that I just placed another order with them for a shoulder pulley. I got the product in record time and there was good communication from them on when the order was received and when it was shipped. Their shipping costs were also reasonable. Everything was packaged well. I ordered a pump and some Therabands at the same time and everything was great. Order from them with confidence! |
Excellent ball, but know how to inflate properly

I bought two of these Thera Band exercise balls. My electric air pump would inflate them 10-15cm (in diameter) short of the target size. I was afraid I might burst the ball. After some hunting online, we learned we needed to use an air compressor. It worked like magic.
I would disagree with the other reviewers who claim the balls aren't big enough. They are, but you need an air compressor. This is a very high quality product, much thicker than my previous exercise ball. |
The best one

| The ball is great. No problem w/leaks. Very sturdy. If you are over weight get the next size up. I did. Fits right. This is the real therapy ball. |
Excellent!

| Exact same quality as my gym! The inflation process is multiple steps, so be prepapred to wait a day or two to use it though. |

| Reviewer: Small Fit, |
| The thera band 45cm exercise ball is just what I needed. I have always worked with the 55cm, and it was not ideal. I am 4'10" and this is perfect. All of the exercises for toning and strenghtening are so much easier now that I have the right ball with which to work. Easy to follow inflation instructions and a clear and concise exercise program to follow.The recommended height/weight chart should be followed for the right fit. |
Great Customer service!

| Reviewer: S. Rose, |
I liked the "anti-burst" feature of this item. I followed the instructions and added the air, then let it sit over night and added more air. I have then used it for six months and just now am noticing that it could use a little bit more air.
A friend of mine bought an exercise ball at Meijers and it lasted barely a week without needing more air. It leaks constantly so that her son (who she bought it for) ends up using it partially deflated which defeats much of its purpose. I was hesitant to want to deal with that hassle, but this is a much stronger rubber material that is clearly better made then the Meijers one that cost barely half the price as this one.
The color is not however "Red". It is very clearly orange. I really dislike the color. I wish I could have gotten this same ball in white or blue. |
