Max Fitness 65cm Exercise Ball with Foot Pump (Pearl White)

I bought this item to use as a birth ball for my pregnancy & labor. The pump it comes with seems cheap but it works really well. I just got the ball today but have been using it all day and I'm really happy with it so far. It seems very durable and perfectly suited for what I intend to use it for. It has a weird plastic/chemical smell to it but I imagine it's just because it's brand new & will fade away pretty quickly. Just sitting on this ball instead of a chair feels SO much better on my back. I highly recommend this product!

My wife used this ball several times to relieve some pressure from carrying our yet born child. Our three and five year old thought it was a great ball to push around in the living room. Our dog mostly hid from it since she could not figure how to get it in her mouth. Pros: Easy to inflate. Seem sturdy. Material seems like it will last. Cons: The pump is pretty flimsy. If you are going to inflate/deflate the ball much at all you probably want to get a better pump.

i bought a 55 cm ball prior to this one and it was too small. I am just a smidge under 5'3". I actually got this ball to use while I'm pregnant and maybe during labor. I'm 8 months pregnant (weigh 165lbs) and use this to rock my pelvis around and stretch while sitting on it. the foot pump worked really well. the ball is well made. the 55 cm ball made me sit a little too low, which put strain in my hips and wasn't comfortable after about 10 minutes.

The important part of this item (the ball) seems to be good quality. Rubber seems to be average or better thickness, and I expect it will hold up better than a couple flimsy ones I've seen/tried in the past. The pump is mostly a joke. Pump/tube/connections kept falling apart, probably faster to blow up manually, (but that would put some water in the ball then.) Luckily, after abandoning the joke of a pump I was able to inflate it in seconds with spray nozzle on my air compressor, nice! No instructions included, so no indication of how much air to put in or any other use guidelines. Fill nozzle just comes with a plastic plug that goes in hard and comes out much harder (almost felt like I might damage the ball when I opened it to add more air.) In short, the total package is junk. Still as it was near the lowest price out their, it gets 4 out of 5 as a solid value and because the actual ball seems to be fine quality.

I'm 5' 6" and this ball is just the right size for me. I love that it came with a pump so it's very easy to get it set up without needing additional equipment. It feels very sturdy and it also looks nice - which is important since it takes up a bit of room wherever it is stored.

The fitness ball itself is fine - although it gradually loses air over time. The main problem is the pump. The pump is complete crap. While pumping the hose will detach from the pump, you'll lose a bunch of air, you'll reattach the hose, and then the valve will pop off the other side causing you to lose even more air. Basically, it will take 5 times longer to pump up the ball than it should. It's a good ball, but the pump will test your patience (and your ability to find small objects (the valve) that have shot off the pump half-way through use).

I ordered this ball because I didn't like the bright colors at my local stores. I wanted something neutral that wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb in my home. The shipping from Max Ltd. was super fast and the ball was pretty quick and easy to inflate. I actually bought this as a "birth ball". I'm 8 months pregnant and sitting on the ball helps relieve back pain/pressure, hip rocks feel great on it. Gently bouncing on it has gotten my baby down into position! I'll be using the ball during labor and after I have my baby. Babies love to be bounced on it and it's a comfortable seat to nurse on. I'll also be using it a few months after the birth to work out on and drop my pregnancy weight.

This is a great balance ball. I am very pleased with it. It is a bit softer than those really hard balls at the gym, which is great for me. I bought it mainly for sit ups, since i never get a sore back or butt when using the ball. I am 5ft 1in and the size is perfect. It's also comfortable to use for sitting on. GREAT BUY.
