Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Not Getting why everyone loves this.... Comment: I don't get it...why is this so popular? I just don't enjoy the workout as much as regular yoga or pilates, and not sure if I am getting any additional benefit. Customer Rating: Summary: Strong and pliable Comment: I gave this to my son for christmas and while we don't do a lot of body ball exercising, he uses it to sit on while watching tv. I have found that he thoroughly enjoys it and it keeps him moving even while being a couch potato. Customer Rating: Summary: This ball doesn't hold air. Comment: This ball doesn't hold air. I'm not sure if it oozes air from the small hole it came with or the valve. The hole is rather a thin spot (in the already thin rubber )that might of developed after sticking to itself. Not worth the money. I don't think it would pop with average weight put on it. Customer Rating: Summary: Sturdy and easy to use Comment: This exercise ball was easy to inflate and easy to use. It helps to do crunches without any strain on the back.
I enjoy exercising everyday. Customer Rating: Summary: Not good quality Comment: When I took it out of the box, besides its extremely strong chemical odor, I noticed it seemed to have some kind of wet substance all over it that rubbed off on my hands when I touched it (the consistency of lotion). I have no idea what it was. On the plus side, it comes with a measuring tape to let you know when it is inflated enough. However, the pump that comes with it was extremely labor intensive and a lot of pumping didn't accomplish much. The smell and the wet feel of the plastic was enough for me. I'm going to buy another higher quality brand. I guess you get what you pay for!
