If you can get the plastic seal in properly before the air comes out (not easy) it deflates within 5 minutes (see attached photo) of you putting pressure on it. The texture and material are good but pointless if it doesn't stay inflated.

I’ve had this Pilates ball since February and it’s worked well. Other than a slight odor, I had no complaints. But then I found that the ball, which was dry when put away, had taken off the finish of my nightstand. Before this I was storing it in a bag. Just be careful putting it against anything wood?

This ball should come with a pump. I've just spent 15 minutes trying to pump this ball with and without the straws (1 got lost in the ball)and get the stopper in before the ball deflates to a wrinkly not full ball. I am disappointed. This should not be a 2 person job.

I ordered and paid for a new ball, and I received an open package with a dirty ball inside.

Ordered what was supposed to be the same size ball since the old (blue) got a few holes in and the new one (gray) is WAYYY bigger than the old one - even though their supposed to be the same size. Much prefer the smaller one. Will be returning the new gray one.

I don’t even want to give this thing a star rating at all. It’s difficult to inflate. It’s also totally misshapen and Quite honestly not worth the money. I think I spent $11 on it and it is not worth that. That’s what I get for trying to buy cheaper. Don’t waste your time or money

At first I was concerned by the size of this item and how it was going to perform. The package included 1 blue ball deflated, a straw, and a stopper. I didn't think that using the straw was going to inflate the ball enough, but I was wrong. The ball deflates small enough for me to stuff it in a gym bag and take it with me. Having the straw to inflate the ball also increases its appeal for portability. I am mother of a young child and I'm always looking for ways to pare down what I carry and this ball is ideal for that circumstance. I noticed no unusual manufacturing smells which can be a concern for me. I really liked the thickness of the material as my son has tried to borrow it several times and it has yet to puncture even with hard play. I received this item at a discount in return for my honest and unbiased opinion of this ball. Receipt of a discount has in no way influenced my review of this product.

Arrived with hole in it. Couldn't inflate. Damaged. Need replacement.

I love my ProBody mini ball, perfect ball for many different exercises, great for stretching, awesome for AB exercises, & very convenient to take it with you everywhere for workouts....even when you are on vacation it's small & does not take place in your carry on & very easy to inflate! ProBody mini ball is the new favorite addition to my home gym :)

I liked the product but for the color and associated gummy residue that collected on my thigh while working my adductors.

I ordered 10 of these pink balls for my fitness studio. They are all labeled as 9inch balls and when I blew them all up, only the ball you see on the left in the photo was the correct size! All of the other balls blew up to this extremely smaller size!! I inflated them all fully, so this is as big as they can get. The bigger ball on the left is the size they are all supposed to be. This is unacceptable!!

A little disappointed. There appears to be silver sharper/marker all over the ball.

Who would have thought that something so simple would make such a difference in my comfort level. I use it between my shoulders, on my lower back and even just to sit upon and it relieves my pain.

Will not stay inflated. I have to blow it up every time I need to use it. Missed my return window otherwise I'd return it. It's going in the garbage when I get a different one

Perfect size for PT knee squeezing

This ball ruined my table. I left it on the table for two days and their is a stickiness on the ball. I want a refund. It literally absorbed the paint and took it off. Also it doesn’t stay inflated.

OMG..... they send me an egg... really the ball is not even round, the quality is terrible, look for some other fitness ball, sorry guys.

There is no pressure being applied in either photo. Set-up wise, I wish that the inflation straws were a bit sturdier, it would also have been nice if it came with one of the removal prong things for the stopper. The material has a nice texture, and it doesn't have an overwhelmingly plastic smell out of the bag (it doesn't come in a box). The ball itself is more squat from \top\"" to \""bottom\"", so be aware of that when purchasing. It also has some weird marks on it (not just the indents from being folded up on arrival).""

Just pulled it out of its package, came torn 😢 seems great otherwise

Update!!! After being thrilled with this ball I bought 2 more to be able to exercise with my family. The balls stripped off the paint from my custom designer desk ($$$$) and also ruined a side table while they were resting on the furniture just for a few minutes ( yes, destroyed furniture in Minutes) - the finish is so Sticky, it is terrible! My orders are past return window at this point but what is shocking is what kind of harmful chemicals are these coated with? We tried to wash off the furniture finish and paint from the balls with soap, then with Comet with no luck and finally Nail polish remover did the trick... This company should be ashamed of themselves. Formaldehydes are used in glues and adhesives and known to increase the risk of cancer. If this product is sticky enough to strip off paint and finishes from the furniture , the stickiness ends up on your skin and slowly ruins your health. Do not buy if you care about your health !!! Original review: I ordered 2 exercise balls from 2 different companies. Both had decent reviews. Both arrived on time. I was a bit nervous about inflating them since they shipped folded and flat. The pro body Pilates ball inflated easily and the “straw” that was included worked perfectly unlike the green ball which by the way was twice cheaper - the straw included with it did not fit the diameter of the hole, keeping the air seeping out. With every blow air just kept leaking out making it impossible to inflate. Also Pro Body Pilates ball company included instructions with examples of exercises you can do using this ball unlike the other company. I recommend Pro Body company and will place a future order because I need a few more of these.

If the system would allow it, I would give this item zero stars. If a Pilates ball meant for home use (in a house temp of 75 degrees) cannot be left on a wooden chair for a few hours without damaging the paint on the chair and then leaving markings of that paint on a guest’s pants—well, this is a really bad product. This painted wooden chair is over 20 years old with no paint ever transferring from it to another surface before.

Great material

Product is fine but arrived in light plastic bag that had been torn in transit. Both tube to inflate and plug were missing. No protection from puncture for ball itself.

I love my purchase. The seller gets five stars ***** for excellent communications and product delivery. Purchased specifically for a Pilates class and have been using daily at home. Enjoy using the sample exercise pamphlet

Great for low impact strength classes. Pilates, barre, resistance. Great add to my other work out applications

Hello. One of tbe six miniballs I bouht is not round and I have not use any of them

Beware, this product will leave a sticky residue and dissolve paint on any furniture that it comes in contact with. I had it in my bedroom and it rolled up against the side of a piece of black furniture. I picked up the ball and it had a black tar like substance on it. I thought it was the fault of the furniture. I cleaned off the ball and set it on the table to dry with the wet side up. I picked up the ball the next morning, and it was stuck to the table. I was able to pick it up and it left a sticky residue on a wood Table. I attempted to clean it off with gentle substances, such as wood cleaner and olive oil, it left a white stain on my dining room table. So while the ball is a great size and nice to use for exercise, don’t let it roll into anything that has a paint or stain on it. There is some type of sticky coating on this ball that leaves a very sticky residue. I have messaged the company..

This ball ruined my wood shelf where I stored it. As you can see in the pictures, it left a big stain in all the zones it was touching the shelf. The ball was sticky and got green, like it grew mold or something. And yes, I use it weekly so I’m not sure what happened but this is unacceptable.
