URBNFit Small Exercise Ball - 9-inch Mini Pilates Ball with Fitness Guide for Yoga, Barre, Physical Therapy, Stretching & Core Stability Workout

My previous Theraband Mini Ball met an untimely end thanks to my dog, which led me to try this alternative. I actually prefer this new brand significantly. The ball's superior, smoother texture offers a much more supportive experience, particularly during core workouts. Very durable.

Ok

This exercise ball is great for at home Pilates! I was looking for a ball that is much smaller and lighter when it comes to doing strength training. It was easy to pump up and fast. My only main concern is that it deflated very quickly and I had to always re-pump it back up every week.

The Straw is a little more difficult ro blow it up with, but not horrible. You just have to be quick about it getting the plug in when pulling the straw out. I have a hand pump that came with my big yoga ball, but it was too small for the hole, air came out as fast as I pumped it in. It was my intention to use that to pump it up with. I don't need it to be to hard anyway. It needs to be flexible enough to press the back of my knee up against it so I can get my leg to straighten more doing my PT exercises. It works very well for the intended purpose. I will proboly be needing it long term, as I have considerable soft tissue damage in my knee that surgery won't fix. Continuing PT exercises keep me moving.

I’ve seen review where people are having a hard time putting air and keeping this stretch out/wrinkle free (air escape when you try to put it the pin to keep the ball inflated) thus be giving few stars than what this product deserves.This does not have the pump (i mean for the price, i would not expect it to come with it and it does not advertise that it does) This does come with a short tube which i guess you use to blow the air in. If this is the process you’ll use, i can just imagine that you’ll have a hard time putting enough air where it’s stretched out enough that even air escapes when you try to plug the hole, it’ll still be wrinkle free.I happen to have manual air pump (black tube beside the ball) and that’s what i use. Material is good quality and works like how it is suppose to.I tried to squeeze it several times between my thighs to see if the airplug will come off, it held and kept the ball’s shape.Price ⭐️Material ⭐️Ease of use ⭐️Appearance ⭐️As advertised ⭐️

Waste of money. Very disappointing. Will be returning if possible. I am not sure how this product ever got any good reviews. As many other reviews mention, this ball doesn't retain air! This is mainly because it's hard to put the plastic stopper in place in time to trap the air. I tried blowing it up with my own lung power and with an electric air pump - both times I could get the ball to an appropriate firmess, but it would immediately deflate significantly no matter how quickly I put the plastic stopper in place. The air hole needs to have some sort of valve in place to create a better seal and trap escaping air. It also was unclear how firm the ball should really be when fully inflated. Some of the illustrations enclosed showed the ball as an oval when performing exercises - presumably under the weight of the person - but I was seeking a firm ball like a normal semi-rigid yoga ball that would maintain a circle - for rounded support with weight on it. This ball doesn't seem capable of that, it becomes oval and misshapen quickly. It also deflated completely when left for 8 hours so it would need to be blown up each time it is used. The description says it can support 600 lbs, but I didn't dare put even my full 140 lbs on it, because it seemed like the plastic stopper would pop out with any pressure and instantly deflate and cause injury to anyone applying weight to it. Horrible product.

Tried to register for the lifetime warranty, but kept getting an error message for the website. I want Because I am concerned about it deflating all the time.
