AGM Group EcoWise Premium Fitness Ball Cherry, 65-cm

I have 3 of these balls, have had them for a year--and have to completely disagree with the other reviewer who gave these one star. They are great. They don't lose any air, warp, nothing of the sort. They are solidly constructed. As a matter of fact, I have only had to add a little air once--in only one ball, and this was after bouncing my baby on it for 2 months--in the entire past year and half that I have had them. These are amazing, and the best balls out there. I used them throughout my pregnancy and labor, for many months after birth, bouncing my newborn--and now for exercise. They have NO smell right out of the package, and are healthy and safe. The PVC balls you are talking about have phthalates and other carcinogenic chemicals that are not healthy or safe for pregnant women, or anybody for that matter. These are excellent-quality, sturdy, extremely safe and very well made (in the USA) balls. I couldn't be happier with this product! Highly recommended.

This ball is amazing!! Great surface, not sticky, doesn’t smell, sturdy and is FREE of chemical toxins. Other balls smell and feel so sticky. This is the ball is QUALITY. I researched yoga balls free of harmful chemical toxins and it was extremely slim picking. This ball is actually chemical free and superior quality. Support and buy from companies that support your health!

The moment I inflated this product it was deformed and unusable - no longer a ball but rather a ball with a huge bump on one side. I returned it immediately and Amazon refuses to reimburse. So I have paid for a product that I returned as defective. Be warned!

I use this ball as a computer chair in the kids' play room, so it serves in many roles in our home: furniture, exercise equipment, and a toy. I have been very pleased with this product. We have had the red 65 cm ball for about 6 months, and the blue 75 cm ball for about a year. I really like that they are made without chemicals known to be harmful. You will notice a difference in the feel of the plastic -- it's not as stretchy and elastic as other fitness balls, but they work just as well. They are very sturdy, have held up through lots of use, and we have never had to add air after inflating them the first time. Very happy with this product.

I obviously ordered this ball because it is less toxic than the PVC ones. I basically didn’t want a PVC ball so I was willing to pay more to get something less toxic. The plastic is weird, very hard and has some marks where it has been folded. It does the job but don’t expect it to be as a normal ball. It comes with a straw to inflate. It is good if you are willing to pay more and have a worse ball over all just because you want something less toxic than a PVC ball.

I like that this claims to be a non toxic ball except it’s very unclear exactly what it’s made out of and how non toxic it really is. It worked well for a year but now it has a bulge on one side and it’s very thin. I’m afraid it’s going to pop if I use it so that’s very disappointing.

I ordered this ball after getting a different one that stunk up my house with noxious fumes. This ball doesn't have a smell, so it wins on that front. However, the ball needs to be reinflated every day, which is really annoying. I can't find a leak on it, so it just seems to be a feature of the ball. Luckily, I had a hand pump from my old ball. Otherwise I would be stuck using the straw that came with this ball to reinflate. it each day. I'm also disappointed that the instructions say to replace this ball on an annual basis, which seems excessive and will add to landfill waste. I probably would not order this ball again if I had to do it over. I'm disappointed that I have to choose between having a ball that smells bad and having a ball that works and doesn't need daily reinflation.

This is the only exercise/birth ball I could stand to keep in my room. I previously bought one of the most popular birth balls on Amazon and had to send it back because of its overpowering toxic smell. This ball has no chemical scent and I use it almost daily for my pelvic exercises in preparation for labor.

great quality, firm, no plastic smell when coming out of the package (as opposed to other fit balls i've bought in the past). I was using it thru my pregnancy, labor, and now post partum, with peace of mind that it's not toxic towards mine or baby's skin : )

Well it's not quite the same as a PVC ball but I don't mind its quirks and I'm very happy with it. I was a bit worried about some of the reviews, but I also didn't want a PVC ball due to the toxic fumes, and the awful smell, so I gave it a try. I got the 65cm ball, which is a bright watermelon red. When i took it out of the box it was folded and stiff... I was a bit dubious. It comes without a pump but luckily I already had one. I realised, as someone else said, it never really blows up. It stays a bit crumpled, but I decided I don't mind, it's like a comfy old T-shirt. It bounces just fine and I also sit on it at my desk. I don't think it's supposed to be smooth and shiny like a PVC ball, and even though it's a bit floppy in style, it's the right size when I sit on it. Someone also said it has a habit of rolling about on its own... well it's true! Mine dislodges itself from my desk and rolls off... it has a personality of its own : o) I don't want to fall over it in the night so I put a sock under it and it can't jump over, so all fine now. It does deflate slowly and I find it needs more air every couple of weeks. Someone at a pilates studio told me that's normal, they need to pump theirs up too. The only issue I do have, is how to pull the plug out. It's really stiff. I discovered a two-pronged piece of plastic online that's used to dislodge these plugs. I'm looking around for something that would do the same thing. So far I've tried a fork, and also a small blunt knife I got for opening oysters (I was careful of course not to burst the ball!). Maybe I should cut one out of a plastic bottle... I've had the ball for a bit over a month now, and have been using it almost every day for light bouncing, rolling, and to sit on. It has also handled my flatmate, who is a body builder, plonking himself down on it. For a non-toxic 'odd' ball it is just perfect and I am so happy with the colour.
