APEXUP Yoga & Pilates Ball - Anti Slip Heavy Duty Gym Ball for Fitness, Balance & Core Workout

This is a great quality pilates ball. I use it as a lumbar support, and upper shoulder support, and to add tension and challenge to arm, leg, and thigh exercises. Typically I use it partially inflated, but you can use it fully inflated if you like more of a challenge. It is super easy to inflate and deflate. I can put all of my body weight against it and it won't burst! It is a very good price for quality!

This is a solid quality small pilates ball that comes compressed and is easy to expand with the included pump and blowup accessories. The thickness seems typical of other balls I've used, durable and can handle the pressure you apply in a variety of exercises. I really like this particular type of mini ball because it is more useful than the larger ones IMO, being able to be used it for more precision workouts, and can help with a larger variety of fitness and health goals. For example, you can work your pelvic floor with it by squeezing the ball between your calves, knees, or thighs and doing partial squats at the same time, help with sciatica by squeezing the ball in the crook behind your raised knee while on your hands and knees, help exercise and relieve pain in an injured knee with the ball between your knees, or help improve core strength while lying on your back by lifting your legs into the air while holding the ball. There are probably many other uses, so plenty of ways you can workout your entire body with just this one little ball. It's a great little accessory to add to my fitness regimen.

This ball is a perfect size for pilates! It's easy to air up and insert the pin to keep it inflated. Pump was small but worked easily. The material of the ball is smooth but has grip so it doesn't easy slip out of your hands etc. It's wroth all the hype.

I started building a home gym during the early days of Covid and I've been adding to it ever since. While I don't do much yoga or pilates, this is a good multifunctional ball that's good for core work and other balance-based work. Very easy to blow up with the included pump, and I like that it included a spare plug, just in case. Seems well constructed, thick enough that I'm not worried about it popping. It's been able to hold up a decent amount of weight when I use it for pushups, etc.

I got this today and immediately used the included pump to inflate it. It was simple, easy, and quick! Also included were 2 plugs, a plug remover tool, good and simple instructions, and straws to inflate manually. The whole process took 10 minutes. Once inflated, the ball is just right for my purposes, which are for rehab after a hip fracture. I use it in knee exercises but I will be expanding the exercises I use it for. You can inflate to be tightly full of air or more relaxed and malleable. Either way, the plug holds just fine, and there is an extra plug as stated above. It is folded when it comes, so it may take a few hours or days for those folds to disappear depending on how full of air I have the ball. It's perfect right now for my exercises!I really like this little pink ball that will help me get back the strength in my leg. It's sturdy and holds the air in with no leaks. I recommend it.

After inflating the ball and letting it sit out for a period of time the ball has deflated making it useless. The color is great and there is little to no smell unfortunately though it can't hold air.

I like this APEXUP mini Pilates ball for home workouts. It’s a great size for core exercises and physical therapy, and it adds a good level of stability to my routine. The black color looks sleek, and the ball has a decent grip, so it doesn’t slip around too much. My only issue is that inflating it can be a bit tricky at first, but once it’s set up, it works well. For the price, it’s a great little fitness tool.
