Having bought products from Gaim in the past, I am familiar with the quality of their products. Quality wasn't the problem here; rather, the size of this ball is the problem. I already owned one stability ball, and was looking for a replacement. I read the product info and bought the ball based on the description given and that it was recommended for people my height (5'5"). Upon inflating the ball, I discovered that 65 cm is very very small. This ball is more suitable for my 10 year old, and ... Read More

The ball works like I expected, but slowly leaks air. You need to keep a tab on it else it'll gradually shrink and become squishier.
The video was very short and didn't really provide as full of a workout as I would've liked.
I'll be venturing with other brands to see if I can find better quality once this one gives out.

The quality of this ball compared to others on the market is shockingly bad. It feels as if it may burst at any moment, and the accompanying pump is pathetic: it takes for ever to fill the ball with air.
You get what you pay for. Mine is so bad I don't like using it, I will buy a new one from Amazon.

I bought this to sit on in front of my desk because I didn't want to sit in an office chair and ruin my back anymore. It suits my purpose really well. It was really tough pumping this thing up with the provided pump, it took forever. The only significant complaint I have is that I have hardwood floors and a cat. The ball is sticky and it picks up EVERYTHING that is not attached to the floor, including cat hair, lint, dust, dirt, whatever. My wife is a neat freak so it isn't that we aren't sweeping ...

This is what it claimed to be, my only problem is that it is hard to pull out the air plug when it needs to be pumped up. It keeps it's air in well to a certain point. I have never owned one before, so I am uncertain if it is supposed to be slightly soft, but that is what it is all the time. Over all I am happy with this product.
