270 pounds hasn't popped itApril 24, 2009 B(USA) 34 out of 34 found this review helpful
I'm 6'5" 270 pounds. So when I looked into stability balls I was really concerned with whether one would support me. So far, so good. I got it yesterday, blew it up in a few minutes, and sat on it (hesitantly at first) for over an hour. Then worked out for about an hour. It seems very durable and able to maintain my weight without a problem. The exercises on this thing are super effective, as I can feel today. The ball is just right as far as size goes.
Someone complained about the pump, but I found it efficient. It's like a huge syringe. It worked fine. It only took me a few minutes to pump the ball up and that was with my one year old hanging on me so he could mess with the ball.
If something happens and this product fails in some way, I will immediately update this review so that anyone who's concerned can know. So if you don't see an update, the TKO's going strong.
Very sturdy and doesnt deflate easilyJanuary 31, 2010 sweetnessincuse(Syracuse, NY) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have two exercise balls -- one for home and one for work.
This is the ball that replaced my office chair at work. I sit on it daily, frequently bounce on it when no one is around, and it has rolled around my floor with coworkers a couple of times. I've only inflated it once (the initial time) in the time I've had it -- over three months!! I weigh about 130lb (+/-) so I don't add a *ton* of constant weight on the ball. It has lost *some* air (it's not perfect after all), but it's still very firm. (I will probably re-inflate it this week or next.) Three additional bonuses about the ball: (1) since it's a dark color it doesn't pop out at people as they walk by me at work; (2) it's neither sticky nor overly smooth; and (3) it's anti-burst. The ball has a good texture that keeps you in place but doesn't pick up lint/dust. Some balls seem to attract it. Also, if you've seen that episode of "The Office" ([...]) you can appreciate the importance of an anti-burst ball. I haven't tested out this feature (and don't plan on it!), but I am glad that it is there since ANY stability ball can be popped.
The exercise ball that I have at home (GoFit) has lost air much quicker and I don't use it 1/10th as frequently! When I replace my GoFit, I'll definitely go with another TKO!
Great as a desk chairSeptember 14, 2009 J. Cooper(Seattle, WA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I recently got this ball to work as a chair at my desk. We had our hardwood floors refinished and I noticed my desk chair was leaving marks on the floor. (BAD!). I work from home, so sit at this desk all day. It is comfortable to sit on, was easy to pump up and I love it. It feels super durable. I'm going to get a smaller size for working out.
Great ballMarch 23, 2009 James Bradley(New York City) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you live in an apartment with some design sense and no workout room, you don't want a bright blue ball. This one really is dark grey and fits in great.
Just sitting on a ball some percentage of the time that we all spend sitting it does so much for your core muscles that unless you're very fit you'll probably find you can't do it very long at first. If you're planning to use your ball that way, you may want to blow it up to full size first for a few days and then let a little air out. This makes it easier and more comfortable to sit on for longer periods.
This ball comes with a good exercise sheet that I put on the back of a closet door. It also comes with a pleasantly compact pump that works well.
Love it so farMarch 27, 2009 B. D. Adams(Henderson, NV) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I use this ball instead of my office chair at work. It feels nice and sturdy, so I don't worry about any of the staples that fall onto the floor puncturing it and landing me on my rear in a skirt. Others mentioned the rubber smell, but I didn't find it so bad. It comes with two plugs, which was nice, and a workout guide you can hang on the wall if you'd like. Using the hand pump that is included was a work-out in itself.
Cool metallic charcoal color matches my stapler and hole-puncher, ha-ha.
