URBNFitSmall Exercise Ball - 9-inch Mini Pilates Ball with Fitness Guide for Yoga, Barre, Physical Therapy, Stretching & Core Stability Workout

The Straw is a little more difficult ro blow it up with, but not horrible. You just have to be quick about it getting the plug in when pulling the straw out. I have a hand pump that came with my big yoga ball, but it was too small for the hole, air came out as fast as I pumped it in. It was my intention to use that to pump it up with. I don't need it to be to hard anyway. It needs to be flexible enough to press the back of my knee up against it so I can get my leg to straighten more doing my PT exercises. It works very well for the intended purpose. I will proboly be needing it long term, as I have considerable soft tissue damage in my knee that surgery won't fix. Continuing PT exercises keep me moving.

I like the material, the durability, size and there was no yucky smell. I found it super easy to blow up, took me less than a minute and it came with extra plugs which is nice. I like that it's black and now I can start doing the ab exercises that were too hard for me without some support. It's comfortable and cushy and I also like using it as a neck pillow when I'm laying on the floor doing stretches on my half foam roller and whatnot. So glad I snatched this up on sale.

The ball was fairly easy to blow up but required some coordination and very quick moves. It helps to have two people - one to put his finger on the whole while the other puts the plug in.My physical therapy didn't not require a strong ball, so I didn't try standing on it to see how much weight it would hold. But it maintained its air and has a good texture on it. I'd recommend it.

The URBNFit Small Exercise Ball is a versatile and durable tool for enhancing workouts. Its 9-inch size is perfect for Pilates, yoga, and barre exercises, helping to improve balance, core strength, and flexibility. The included fitness guide is helpful for beginners, and the ball's non-slip surface ensures stability during workouts. A great addition to any home gym!

I bought this ball to use in yoga class, but I soon discovered it was also very useful to put behind me when I sit in a chair. It helps me to keep my posture correct. This ball is very durable. The only down side, which is true of any size exercise ball, is they are a pain to inflate and get the plug in before the air escapes. Also, another thumbs up for the fact this ball didn't stink when it arrived like some balls do.

It comes with a straw to inflate it but it’s impossible to keep the air in while you replace the straw with the plug. I must be delusional because I thought it would arrive as pictured…like any other Pilates ball I’ve seen in stores. This isn’t usable. I’ll be buying in store more often as this surprise DIY expectation keeps happening with shipped Amazon products.

I LovE these balls. My dog decided he was mad enough to bite the ball so I replaced it. The ball is extremely good for adductors, for abs, slightly deflated. Such a simple and effective exercise tool. Worth every $

So far this has worked for what I need but I tend to have to pump it up each time I use it. I can’t get it to keep air in all the time. It doesn’t completely deflate between uses but it get a little flatter than what I would like. It is good quality but has that flaw.
