When I start feeling the usual aches I've become used to, I notice that I start moving around to correct it with this instead of sitting on my feet or propping my legs up like I used to. Sometimes I'll just lay completely horizontal on it for a little while until my back feels better, and it's great. In addition, when I am exercising, I've been able to naturally and intuitively target portions of my abs that before felt a lot more cumbersome because of the hard floor factor.
The reason I like the Gaiam one in particular is because it's a lot sturdier than some that I've used. The material is really thick, and the pump works quite well despite the feeling I got when I first started pumping. There are 3 little white stakes included to seal the air pocket.
You'll get a heavy chemical-laden smell out of the box that will go away in a few days. That's with any of these. To expedite it, it's important to soak it with soap and hand wash it before you inflate it. These things are made in plastic factories, not in daisy fields. I've sent things back before (like weights) that were unbearably harmful and smelly, but this is reasonable and worth the quality trade-off.
Overall, I think this ball is going to last, and like I said, it's great for exercise, posture, movement, and sitting. I don't miss the so-called "back support" of a chair now that I've been using this. It never existed!
If you are using this as your desk chair: BUY THE BIG 75CM ONE! I read about the sizing, and since I am just over 5' tall, I bought a smaller ball. I think it would have been a good size to use while working out, but it was way too short for my desk. So buy a 75cm one if you are using it as a desk chair.
Due to my job, I'm on the computer all the time and I was having a lot of back and neck pain. Using this ball as a chair has helped me eliminate most of that pain. It keeps me more aware of my seated posture, and I since it moves around I am not straining the same little muscles for hours straight. I highly suggest it if you have a desk job and have back pain.
The ball is made from high quality plastic or rubber (whatever it is). It is very well made.
When I first got it, I did have to re-inflate it a few times, probably because it was being stretched out for the first time. Now it rarely needs any reinflating, and if it does it's just a few pumps.
The hand-pump included works just fine too. It's sturdy and made with hard plastic.
I haven't tried the workout CD it came with, since I mostly just use it for sitting on, so that did not factor into my review.
And, let me tell you, it has not had a gentle life. It's been through multiple moves; it's been used for vigorous working out (and has witnessed me eating it hard when I thought I could do a push-up on it); it was my lone piece of a furniture for a spell; it's been bounced on repeatedly during salt water flushes; it's had animals try and bite through it... this balance ball has had a great life, and it seems immortal because no matter what I do to it, it seems fine.
As a side note, we bought the same exact kind of ball from Walmart (so whatever their workout brand is) because we needed a second one, but it was a much thinner material, it smelled super weird for its entire life (until I popped it with a pair of scissors out of vengeance), it collected our pet's fur constantly, and it peeled paint from the wall when it leaned against it too long. So in comparison?
This really is the best balance ball I know.
Durable? You bet.
Comfortable? So, so much.
Good for a variety of needs? Absolutely.
I ended up buying one for my mom when she was diagnosed with MS because it was so gentle on her body; on the flip-side I've spent hours and hours trying to sit cross-legged on it to improve my balance/because it's a very impressive party trick. Even with heavy use, over the course of several years I've only had to refill it a handful of times and doing so was super easy.
Less than three those Gaiam products; you really do get what you pay for.
