BarreAmped 7" Exercise Ball

I am unhappy with this ball for one simple reason, the plug does not lay flat and that bothers me esthetically. I searched and searched for the cheapest 7" pilates ball and found this one, so in reality I was not expecting perfection. The inflation method was a straw and the seller provided 2 straws and 2 plugs which is thoughtful, but the design of the ball and plug does not allow for a tight fit. However, the ball does what I need it to and was inexpensive so I am okay with it as a product.

I bought two of these balls three months ago. One has held the air pressure perfectly. The other lost some but has stabilized; haven't bothered to re-inflate it so I don't know if the same thing would happen. Takes some practice to figure out how to get the plug inserted quickly without losing air. Tricky but same basic straw and plug system of other exercise balls.I love this size compared to the 9" or 10" size.

Have to blow the ball up with a straw and then quickly plug the hole. This makes it difficult to get the ball full and firm. Comes with extra plug and straw in case you need them. Should have a self sealing plug and needle fill like basketballs

The ball comes deflated with a very inadequate way to blow it up yourself.So exercising with a partially inflated ball is not so fulfilling.

Not the quality I was anticipating, but it seems to work well. I'll just be anxious to see how long it will last.

The size of this inflatable ball is great for resistance exercises. But the air leaks out so the ball gets soft (sorta like the reputed footballs of a famoys QB). The valve and pin mechanism makes it impossible to re-inflate the ball to firmness. Once you get the air in it, there is no way to maintain it before the pin is inserted. Go for a different product.

what a waste of money! when inserting the straw into the opening try inserting the plug in and the air keeps seeping out!

Just fine. A little squishy, but works okay.
