PhysioWorld Pilates Ball 8" - Blue/Graphite/Pink - Bulk Buy Available

To begin with, delivery was prompt and these balls seem pretty good quality and I would say they are absolutely fit for purpose. You lose a small bit of air when replacing the inflation tube with the stopper but nothing major, so that's not an issue.The biggest thing for me is that I ordered two of the exact same balls and one is 8" (200mm) in diameter and as it says on the bag. However, the other is 6 3/4" (168.75mm) in diameter so is considerably smaller than advertised on the packaging. I have certainly given it a good effort of blowing it up (and as I said earlier, not much air loss when putting the stopper in) it is just a smaller ball. I understand there will be some tolerance with any product, but for it to be 15% smaller seems a bit more of a discrepancy.As I said, the ball itself is perfectly useable, it is just not the size ordered. So just be aware this may be an issue and you may get a smaller ball than you think you're getting.UPDATE - After contacting the seller, they were very polite and prompt with a reply and supplied a replacement ball for the smaller one. Can't fault the service. Thank you for that.

Bought this in 2016 and has lasted well through weekly Pilates sessions and toddlers/preschoolers playing with it - had to buy a new ball as something sticky got onto it and couldn’t get it off it, which was when I measured it as the new one (different make) wasn’t that same size. Turns out this one is actually more like 6inches not 8, so just be aware of that. Otherwise it’s been great.

Not a bad piece of equipment. I’ve had and used it for a little while now and still waiting for some of folds to disappear. It does come with a straw to inflate it and extra stoppers

This ball is difficult to inflate & there were no suitable instructions. I took it to my gym instructor who showed me, speed is required & a little practice. Otherwise it's exactly as advertised, looks robust & takes all the pressure I can exert without popping the plastic bung. Pleased with my reasonably priced purchase.

Easy to inflate but I found it difficult to keep inflated while I put the stopper in - it would benefit from a non-return valve like you get on kiddies swimming aids etc.

My wee man, 2-years old- loves lying face down on balloons to pop them.I thought something a bit more robust would be a better idea, so I bought this.It arrives deflated with what is essentially a straw to blow it up and 3 plugs. This works fine for blowing it up. The process of removing the straw and getting the plug in needs to be super quick or it deflates a lot. After the 3rd attempt, I have a spongy 3/4 inflated ball and no patience left.So I bought this instead: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastic-Soccer-Football-20Cm-Deflated/dp/B00E0KE7VY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1479731214&sr=8-4&keywords=ballCheaper, firmer and doubles up as a football.I'll keep the pilates ball as there is nothing actually wrong with it, but I wouldn't buy it again. oh, and I don't do pilates :-)

Very nice little ball, well made, it feels quite strong though time will tell. Lovely colour too. Great price. 4 stars and not 5 because it was delivered flat and folded and had to be inflated with the special "straw" supplied. A very easy operation in itself were it not for the plastic plug which doesn't want to go in all the way and doesn't sit flush despite all my attempts. No instructions supplied either, so I can't tell if I'm doing it wrong.

Ordered it after trying out a similar one (albeit larger) at pilates class. For the class we use the all only partially inflated as a support for the head during exercises.I have also found it useful when I am struggling with migraine as it cradles my head and takes the pressure off my neck. Will probably buy another, larger version of this.
