View larger View larger View larger View larger View larger View larger Although stability balls have been in use since the 1960s, their original intended application was as a back-care tool for physical and occupational therapy. As the benefits of these lightweight, portable, and relatively inexpensive tools became more widely known, their use crossed over into the fitness arena, where they quickly became popular for core conditioning and full-body training. SPRI was instrumental in helping elevate stability balls within the club/instructor market. Through working with some of the leading industry educators, SPRI had the opportunity to really listen to instructors, learn how stability balls were being used, and develop ways to improve them — without compromising on quality. SPRI then went on to become one of the first to offer a true “slow-deflate” stability ball. This ensures maximum safety while sitting, lying, kneeling, or lifting light weights on the ball. SPRI works closely with its trusted manufacturing partner to make sure that all SPRI stability balls are durable, are free of harmful phthalates, maintain their shape and feel, and provide a safe, slip-resistant texture. Specialized stability balls are now available for every exercise level — for beginners and mid-level participants in semi-controlled environments, all the way up to the most advanced exercisers and the most demanding applications.

Unsure about size...
Box and ball both say 65cm but when ball is inflated it’s almost double that size according to a measuring tape...over 120cm. The instructions say a tape measure is supposed to be included in the box but mine didn’t have one so I’m not sure what size the ball should actually be. It looks like the same size that my trainer has me use at the gym. Also, instructions mention that you need to assemble the air pump that is included but mine was already put together. Ball looks of good quality and proper size but their packaging and directions leave a little to be desired.

Great ball that holds its shape!
Love this ball so much. I bought a few others that would never hold air and when I sat on them they squished down too far. This ball is perfect and holds you high up when you sit on it. After hurting my back terribly I need it for sitting to watch TV and working, as well as for workouts. It's perfect!

Best Quality Stability Ball on the Market
Ordered this as a gift for my father because I wanted the highest quality stability ball on the market. I use the exact same model at my job training clients, so it gets tons of use and has yet to need added air, even after over 2 years of solid use. You will not be disappointed with this stability ball, whether in home or in a commercial setting! SPRI makes quality products for high-usage situations that always withstand wear and tear phenomenally.

Bought It for Chair
Bought the ball to use as my office chair. It works great. Follow the directions, you can't just blow it up in one day, might take a couple days to get to full size.

Bogus/counterfeit?
Box sat on the shelf for a year as we dealt with an illness and death of a family member. Finally opened it up to find no documentation, hand pump or tape measure in the box and have never before seen a Spri product without their logo on it. Pretty certain this particular item/ shipment wasn't legit

SMALLER THAN PROMISED
Wrong description! Nowhere in this darn description does it mention that the 75cm refers to circumference! This translates to about an 18" (45cm diameter ball). Worthless as a desk chair.

Knock-off
The ball I received was a knock off of the SPRI 65cm ball. It is not 65cm, but closer to 55cm. The SPRI logo was a crooked placed sticker instead of the printed on logo of an authentic SPRI ball.

Not 65cm
I ordered the exact same size I use at my gym. Same brand too for some reason. this one is way smaller. It's supposed to be at larger. It's properly inflated. I don't get it. It doesn't work for what I need it to.
