Sports reviews of TKO Anti Burst Fitness Ball Set 75cm
Customer Review: Very good quality for the price
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this largest of the fitness balls (75cm) eventhough I am 5'9". I am a physical therapist and am very familiar with these so called "Swiss therapy balls" as they are used extensively in my profession. I wanted the largest ball for personal preference, although the 65 cm ball is the recommended size for my height. If you want the ball for doing wall squats (ball against the wall and behind your back) or for lying over on your back to stretch your back into good extension without feeling like your head (or hair) is trailing on the floor, then you may want to size up as well. There are many other exercises that are better accomplished on a ball that is a bit larger as well. Also, it has been my experience with many of these balls that it can be difficult to get them blown up to the full stated cm circumference. The instructions in the packaging tell you to NOT use a automatic tire pump, and to use ONLY the hand pump and inflator tube/pin provided. It is a challenge to get the air into the ball this way (with the hand pump) after it is approx. 80% of its stated size, and I don't mean just this brand ......... all of them are that way. Also, if you know you are not going to blow it up to its full size it will have a bit softer feel which is another attribute I was looking for. When they are blown up to their full stated size the "anti-burst" balls can be very firm and some find that uncomfortable. The TKO ball is a nice, sturdy ball. The material is very substantial and a bit firmer than some therapy balls especially if it is fully blown up to it's stated cm size.Customer Review: Very sturdy and doesnt deflate easily

I have two exercise balls -- one for home and one for work.
This is the ball that replaced my office chair at work. I sit on it daily, frequently bounce on it when no one is around, and it has rolled around my floor with coworkers a couple of times. I've only inflated it once (the initial time) in the time I've had it -- over three months!! I weigh about 130lb (+/-) so I don't add a *ton* of constant weight on the ball. It has lost *some* air (it's not perfect after all), but it's still very firm. (I will probably re-inflate it this week or next.) Three additional bonuses about the ball: (1) since it's a dark color it doesn't pop out at people as they walk by me at work; (2) it's neither sticky nor overly smooth; and (3) it's anti-burst. The ball has a good texture that keeps you in place but doesn't pick up lint/dust. Some balls seem to attract it. Also, if you've seen that episode of "The Office" ([...]) you can appreciate the importance of an anti-burst ball. I haven't tested out this feature (and don't plan on it!), but I am glad that it is there since ANY stability ball can be popped.
The exercise ball that I have at home (GoFit) has lost air much quicker and I don't use it 1/10th as frequently! When I replace my GoFit, I'll definitely go with another TKO!
Customer Review: Just what the doctor ordered!

I ordered this exercise ball as an alternative to sitting in my office chair all day. A few months back, I slipped a disc in my lower back and have been having chronic pain ever since. Sitting in an office chair for hours at a time was really not helping. At my chiropractor's suggestion, I purchased an exercise ball as a chair alternative and the results have been great. After the first day, I could feel a difference in that my back wasn't fatigued and I actually felt rejuvenated at the end of the day. I still keep the chair around and switch from the ball to the chair for a break every now and then.
About the 75cm TKO Anti Burst Fitness Ball in particular though I've got to say that I'm really pleased with this exercise ball. Right out of the box, the ball inflates in minutes with the pump that is provided. The ball is made of a very durable material and while sitting on it, I really don't have any doubts about whether it'll hold my weight without bursting. The ball doesn't really pick up lint and dirt off of the floor so I'm not worried about where I sit on the ball. Lastly, I've had the ball for about two months and haven't lost any air yet. As for sizing, I'm 5'10" and this ball is a great height for me while sitting at the desk.
Customer Review: Great for stretching injured or damaged bodies
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
These balls were originally marketed as yoga balls because you can get much better results with them. I got permanent injuries while still in my twenties, and a similar product helped me control them. My aches and pains are finally going away again thanks to my recent purchase of this ball, which is also stronger than the othes. With the ball, your muscles, tendons, and ligaments are not tensed when you stretch. That's because the ball removes the load-bearing from your body in the area you are stretching. In addition, as you wrap around it, it has a rubber-band-stretch-type effect you cannot duplicate when you stretch by yourself without this ball.
I believe my stretching program with this ball is making far better results, and my pain is going away. By the way, I strongly recommend unless ever stretching unless you are sweating. Try getting a video called "Total Body Flexibility At Any Age", by Marco Lala too; best I've ever seen.
Customer Review: A great addition to any home gym setup
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Pro(s): Great build quality, and durable to last for a very long time. It comes with a manual showing various exercises that the user can use to great effect in workout sessions. It holds up well when it comes to my athletic body of 6'2, 232lbs(linebacker in high school). I have to commend the seller for providing a fitness ball with such a cheap price that anyone with an interest in fitness can purchase.
Con(s): It came with a hand pump that gives the user a little workout to setup, but it's not that much of a big deal. I only bring this up because I live in a small apartment, and space is everything when I have to deflate the ball after each use.
I recommend the TKO Anti Burst Fitness Ball Set 75cm to anyone who has a interest in getting involved in fitness. This ball is suitable for people that are taller and weigh a little more, so determine your size before purchasing this model.
