Description of Gaiam Balance Ball Chair (Black)
The innovative BalanceBall Chair lets you reap the benefits of the popular BalanceBall right at your workspace. This patented design lets you do tension-relieving techniques while seated in the chair - or simply remove the ball to stretch and strengthen key muscles without a trip to the gym. Relieves stress on the spine, helps prevent back discomfort and repetitive motion disorders, helps prevent health issues related to poor posture, illustrates non-impact strengthening exercises and stretching and keeps you active, even on busy work days. When you sit in the BalanceBall Chair, the ball acts as a shock absorber and eases your body into an ergonomic position. When your muscles become stiff or whenever you want a break, the exercises in this guide will help you relax, build strength and foster a wide range of health benefits. Exercises performed with the BalanceBall in the chair offer maximum support, stability and convenience. Exercises performed on the ball alone allow greater range of movement. The BalanceBall Chair was developed with Dr. Randy Weinzoff a pioneer in chiropractic care. Trained at the acclaimed Palmer West University in California, Dr. Weinzoff runs his successful practice in Santa Monica, CA based on his philosophy of "Vitality through total alignment of the whole being." Some assembly required.The Gaiam Balance Ball Chair, developed under the consultation of a chiropractic pioneer Dr. Randy Weinzoff, greatly alleviates the aching back/legs/arms syndrome that comes from working at a desk for hours. Designed for people between 5-feet and 5-feet 11-inches tall, this unique "chair" employs the same balance ball used in your workout routine, but with it you also get an adjustable support bar, easy-glide casters, an air pump, and a desktop guide to help keep you moving. Designed by leading health and fitness experts, Gaiam back-care solutions build a healthier back, relieve pain, and improve your overall well being.
 The Balance Ball Chair is an effective tool for strengthening core muscles and improving spinal alignment. |

Special Note:
A new ball will not be able to inflate to its full capacity initially. After a few hours, the ball will be more pliable and you can add more air at that time.
Sports reviews of Gaiam Balance Ball Chair (Black)
Customer Review: I love my new chair - it rocks!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I have back problems and this chair has helped me sit correctly and now my back doesn't hurt as much. It forces you to sit up in the correct postion and I really like that part. I am a sloucher so it really helps me not to do that anymore. I highly recommend this to anyone who's job entails a lot of sitting.
The only thing that I don't like about it is the wheel locks. They seem to always be on and then I have to reach down and unlock them. The ball was hard to blow up, so you will need access to an air compressor. The pump that comes with it would take hours to pump it up.
Customer Review: Gaiam Chair is a must have for office people.

I am a retail buyer and I sit at my desk anywhere from 9-12 hrs a day. My back was killing me and several other buyers in our offfice have this chair. It definitely makes a difference in my work day. It helps your posture and gives you support to sit up straight. My back doesn't hurt anymore. It didn't take much to set up the chair and trust me, I am technically challenged. My assistant and I had it up and running within 10 minutes. It does take 3-4 days for it to expand to its full size, so don't be alarmed as I was. Just keep the pump handy in your desk drawer. The chair comes w/the pump. By far, Amazon had the lowest price when I was pricing it out online w/shipping and all. Customer Review: Balance Chair

Three persons in our department are using the Gaiam Balance Chair. It works well, except the ball has to be reinflated more often than they thought. In order to stay seated on the chair, it requires good posture, so that is great.Customer Review: Gaiam Ball Chair
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
The chair seems fine; however, the thing they provide to inflate the ball is terrible. It stopped working almost immediately. Now I have to find a way to inflate the ball before I can use the chair. Not too happy about this!Customer Review: Good Chair for Space Challenged Environment

This compact comfortable chair is great for small spaces, such as condos. It is an unusually comfortable and set up was a breeze.
