I want a ball that I can bounce on for my legs while I do arm excercises. Is this ball really sturdy? I am overweight and like to bounce as excersiz

I'm not qualified to answer that. I recommend you contact Black Mtn directly. I will say that the rubber on this ball seems thicker than most.

I didn't trust it supporting my full weight after reading some of the reviews of it suddenly failing and the person getting injured. I could see really uneven thickness when held up to a light so I sent the one I ordered back for a refund. Amazon is awesome!

Yes, it is very sturdy. I sit on mine 7 or so hours per day at work, bouncing to the music. A good work out for legs, abs and glutes.

Yes, it is really sturdy. I do not feel uncomfortable bouncing on it all day. Every now and then it does need to be blown up again, though. Hope this helps!

I know this post is two months old, but I just received this exercise ball today. I'm also using it as a computer chair, and am replacing a previous ball that was a gift and my cat saw fit to use as a scratching post substitute. I have mixed initial impressions of this Max Fitness ball. It seems sturdy, but not tall enough for someone who's 6' 0". I'll try it out for a few days of course, but I'll be taking a look around Amazon to see if there's anything larger. Unfortunately I don't know the size or even brand of my previous ball so I can't compare, but it was noticeably bigger than this one.

No, it does not bounce like a regular ball. It has a slight rebound if thrown at a wall.

The barre is sturdy,but not heavy, I have used this barre for fluidity as well as P57 work outs. I have to wedge the side of the barre against the wall to keep it from moving. Others have mentioned using sand bags. I have never seen an actual fluidity barre. I know that it is possible to adjust the barre to do the workouts. I hope this helps.

I don't know - the ball is being used in an elementary school. I have had student sit and bounce in it without a problem. I did have an exercise ball previously that a student was able to puncture when it was stabbed with a sharp pencil!

Yes, it's better than other stability balls because it has some sand or something in it so it doesn't roll around, it stays put if you're not putting any pressure on it. Only like 8 oz in it so you can still move it around. It's great quality

Hey, I haven't tried a soccer ball but I used a team handball and playground ball on it. I love it. I bought two. I'm a gym teacher.

I bought my ball when I was pregnant too. I'm 5'6 and bought the large one. I loved it then and still use it now. Baby even likes being bounced on.

I am not sure where the mix reviews are coming from. I weight about 200lbs and use this ball daily, several hours a day. I sit up hard, stretch, bounce, and have never felt that ball was not performing the way it should. As a matter of fact, I am surprised it has held air as long as it has with all the daily abuse. This has been an excellent product for me. Further more, when you buy this ball and use it for a couple of months, leave an honest comment and call the company and in return for your honest feedback they will mail you a resistance band of your choice for free.

Mine is very well constructed, and the place I used to work out before I started working out at home, had JFIT balls and they got a LOT of use. They were also in terrific condition.

I love my JFIT ball. I've used it mostly in a garage so it has been slammed against the concrete floor without the typical gym padding, and the unfinished drywall. Even smacked the garage door runners/spring a couple of times-- stupid garage--and it looks like brand new. Dynamax is an excellent brand, but I'm happy with the 25lb one from jfit. Hope that helps.

Are you calling our model fat? Joking! Where does it say 100 LBS? This ball is made for adults and can easily handle 250 LBS (if you see our yellow ball model, he weighs around that much). Happy Jumping!

I realize this is a very late reply to your query, but I thought I'd answer anyway. I sometimes take several months to make a decision about a major purchase. This is super sturdy and doesn't feel bouncy or like you are leaning forward. It feels really good, very solid. it is very comfortable. I am out of shape and needed to start exercising, and my use of this is increasing over time -- I am up to 3x a week.

Depend on how you're going to use it. Kids? Adults? Daily? Every once in a while? 10 minute sessions? 30 minute sessions? The more use, the more you need a sturdier model. I bought this one to replace the one that we had bought 15 yrs ago that had begun to wear where the fabric attached to the clips that hold it to the frame. Ours ReboundAir Standard that we have now is used by 2 adults who weigh 160-175 lbs each. Used by at least one of us daily. Still looks & as good as it did when we took it out of the box 2 yrs ago; feels like it has the same amount of bounce, too. From what I can tell at this point, it looks as if it will perform as well as the previous one did. Depend on how you're going to use it. Kids? Adults? Daily?

It is probably OK for arm workout. You could C clamp it down if it moves. I don't know hoe heavy it is.

You're welcome. It has all the stuff you'd want in an exercise machine but it broke after the very first try for me. And I'm average weight. maybe I got a lemon. My advice is if you buy it and it does not suit your needs, don't call the makers, call Amazon. They are fantastic in returns and money back without questions.
