Very nice set Jun 07, 2010
It's a great ball! I had my husband use his air compressor to blow it up, since I was struggling with the pump. I haven't used the band, but I use the ball several times a week!

CAUTION: Height Recommendation for this 65cm ball is WAY OFF May 15, 2010
This ball is an excellent quality ball. For the price, you can't go wrong. It's very similar to the Gold's Gym version of the stability ball. However, in comparing the two (both are suppose to be 65cm), the Biggest Loser ball is WAY TOO SMALL with a diameter of 30" while my Gold's Gym ball that now has a slow leak is 32".
I'm 5'6" and am on the lower end of what the manufacturer deems to be a qualifying height for this size ball (65cm), and yet it is still too small if one is looking to do any kind of exercises on top of the ball--like pikes. If you just want to use the ball for crunches while lying on the floor or for moving from side to side with the ball straddled between your legs, the ball will work just fine; but I would recommend getting the next size up if you are 5 feet or taller and wish to do more than just straddle the ball between your legs.
The band found in the kit is handy and it comes with illustrations on how to use it which is great. But the pump is cheap. You'll get a work out pumping the ball up that is for sure. Additionally, the air comes out of the ball after a few days so you will need to refill it again before you get a normal ball.
I went ahead and reordered the next size up (grey ball) in place of this one. Though, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have both since the blue 65cm one will work great for crunches when laying down on the floor with the ball straddled between your legs.
With that said, I went ahead and gave this ball 4 stars simply because the height recommendation is way off and it's a hassle to have to return something due to the recommendations being so off.
 no working out with this workout ball May 09, 2010
Item came on time, but was missing the stopper for the ball itself so it's useless.
Very nice for back strength May 04, 2010
I have been using this ball at my desk at work for about 3 hours per day during the week. I am finding that my back is getting much stronger and I have all but eliminated the back aches that I was frequently getting in the past. I dont think this ball is for everyone but I must say that I highly recommend it.
 Pilates ball Apr 22, 2010
The product was high quality and I also received items with it that I didn't expect, which was a bonus!
