| Editorial Reviews:
Product Description Unlike other balls that may burst when punctured, even when purposely punctured with a knife or other sharp object, there is no danger of sudden lack of pressure. Don't settle for competitive balls that inflate unevenly and puncture easily. The FitBall by Gymnic comes in 4 different sizes to match optimally to your height. They inflate easily with a hand air pump (bike pumps not recommended). Clinic packaging (in polybag, not retail box). Pumps sold separately.

One smells, one doesn't. May 4, 2008 I bought a 65 cm ball and a 75 cm ball. The 65 cm lost its sick sweet industrial plastic smell very quickly. The 75 cm ball gives no evidence of ever losing its smell, even though I left it outside in the sun and weather for a while. I guess it will be an outside play ball for the kids, as long as it lasts.
If you don't mind one more chemical odor in your life, then read the other reviews and decide.
photo misleading/ product change March 25, 2008 I thought I would receive a Gymnic ball but another product was sent. I am very familiar with Gymnic and was disappointed with the less durable product received. It does not hold its shape like Gymnic; flattens while in use. I really miss the stability found in the Gymnic brand. CAUTION: The photo is not the product you receive.
It popped! March 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought a 65cm Sport Soft Edition FitBall directly from BallDynamics to be used as a birthing ball during the delivery of our son. The hospital ended up having balls there so we didn't need to use ours for that purpose. However, after arriving, our son liked to be held while gently bouncing on the ball. This became a daily routine for us to help him fall asleep and has worked well for the last 3 months.
That is until the ball popped! It was used on in a carpeted room for bouncing with a baby. Nothing strenuous in any way, but one day I sat down on it and it just deflated. (I'm 6ft, 185lbs - no where near the 1,250 lbs capacity they claim on the ball.) There was a small tear on the side of it where it had burst and all the air rushed out. No hope for repair, especially since the tear spread once I picked the ball up to look at it.
I tried to return the ball to BallDynamics but their customer service agent told me that they only had a 30 day return policy. She informed me they *MIGHT* exchange it for me, but I would have to pay up front for a new one and they would refund my money for the first ball *IF* they got it back and decided they wanted to. She had a tone in her voice that I was NOT getting a refund for the first ball, so I declined.
I explained to her that I paid more to get the ball from them because of their claims for "Burst Resistant Quality" and that I could get a cheaper ball at the local fitness store or off Amazon, but that didn't change her stance any.
I'll find another brand and use that from now on. BallDynamics won't be getting any more of my money.
Great fitness ball January 8, 2008 This ball is great for all types of exercise-it holds its shape well and has a nice non-slip surface.
Great fitness ball! December 19, 2007 So far, I'm very pleased with my 65cm Gymnic ball. Unlike a previous Gaiam ball, it blew up easily and also plugged easily. Nice touch that Gymnic provided a spare ball plug! The color is a nice, slightly metallic blue and the ball does NOT feel "slightly sticky" like Gaiam did. Which is a huge plus, as otherwise, in my house, it would end covered in cat hair. It should be easy to clean. Quality seems very good.
