I bought this ball to use as a replacement chair for work. The normal work chairs aren't very comfortable.

The ball itself is well constructed. The plastic is thick and I don't have to worry about it getting punctured. The only problem I have with the ball is can become a static cling and everything sticks to it.

The device that came with the ball to blow it up is a nuisance. If I had an actual air-pump at work, I would have used that instead. It takes forever to blow up a 75cm ball with the included pump. It also made this high-pitch whine from the air passing into the ball. After I was done blowing the ball up after I got it, the tube that you use between the ball and the pump broke. Needless to say, the quality isn't the greatest.

However, the ball gets the job done and the price is fair.

Not a great product. The mat curls up at one end and this makes it a bit uncomfortable to use.

I purchased several stainless steel caps. The adhesive from the labels wouldn't come off, so I soaked them in soapy water. The expensive lids now have water trapped inside where bacteria can breed. I can't get the water out; the caps are unsafe to use, and I'm out the money.

Bought this earlier this year when I was planning to get back to the gym. Saw the comments re: having to push two buttons to get a heart reading, and yes, that's awkward, especially when you're in the heat of a spin class, but it's not so difficult and it's a lot easier than strapping on a wire. So in my opinion, totally worth it. Looks nice, too.

Liked this one so much that I bought it twice - second time was to replace it, after I lost my first one on vacation.

It was easy to put together--my husband and his brother did it in about 30 minutes. My bedroom is small but it fits in there and I love it!! Easy workout but you definitely feel it. Great machine and great price.

ToeSox Yoga / Pilates Toe Socks, Organic Cotton I have practiced yoga for several decades. I purchased these toe socks based upon reviews and price. Goodness, I spent way too much time just trying to sort out my toes - kept getting either two toes in one sleeve or finding my little toe sleeveless. Finally deceided to continue barefoot or in a leotard. Inexpense enough to just throw away:-)

First, I should note that the vest I received does not look like the vest in the picture. It is very similar and I think the one I received is actually better (more reflective area).

The vest is extremely light weight mesh and very breathable, making it ideal for nighttime running. I can tell that cars spot me easily.

This really looked good and fairly simple on all the infomercials, but if you live in a small space, without hard floors, it's very difficult. Trying to do the slides, small hops, etc. on carpet wasn't easy. And if you have any kind of back problems, then forget it! A lot of sit-ups, push-ups, lunges, etc. needed. Although I think this would be very effective, I'm unable to do it. I was very disappointed.

Great product, beautiful colors! I bought 2 and will certainly be a return customer. Great job on shipping Amazon! Thanks!

This was purchased for our home treadmill and we haven't used any other treadmill products before, so no comparison is possible. It was easy to spray, didn't drip or puddle, and has made an improvement with the belt's noise. I'll keep using it and re-purchase when we run out.
