 abs ball November 14, 2008
The video is poor quality. I ordered two ab balls and I had to return both of them.
 Hmm... October 18, 2008
The ball is very oily and after a month it still has that oily smell and feel to it. I have a wooden floor and it leaves oily spots on the floor, which can be very slippery if you don't clean it right away.
The workout dvd has a decent workout (the advanced one I'm talking about, they beginner's workout is hardly a challenge after a couple of times).
 love it!!! August 4, 2008
Just love my item. Works great!!!! The only thing negative about it is the smell. Sorry sounds funny, but it just has that rubbery smell. Besides that I love the Abs Ball. I recommend it to anyone.
Toxic ball May 21, 2008

I haven't used it yet because the off-gassing of the ball's material makes me ill. Also, the smell/compounds transfer to one's skin.... Very disturbing. I'm not sure I'll keep it because of this. For such an "earthy" company, I'm surpirsed their products appear to have no regard for the environment and reduced VOC's. Perhap there is information available on the material. Right now, I feel like I neeed to leave it outside for a month or two.
great ball, lousy DVD January 1, 2008

I got the abs ball tonight and I'm very excited to use it for some variety (I usually do straight abs DVDs with no equipment). However, the free DVD is terrible:
- the advanced routine feels like you're doing something, but the beginner one is a joke, so there's ultimately only 1 10-minute routine I can use with this ball. For $40 I would prefer to have a few routines I could alternate- hopefully they'll make a second DVD... (and the beginner/advanced routines repeat many of the exercises so I can't mix and match)
- the guy leading the routine WOULD NOT SHUT UP. It's good to give information for beginners who might not know about back safety and that it's okay to start with fewer reps, but it interferred and drove me nuts: I frequently found myself waiting for him to finish talking so we could begin the exercise
