Physioworx Peanut Ball x 50cm – Multiple Use: Exercise, Yoga, Pilates, Rehab, Sensory, Fitness, Birthing and Flexible Seating - Anti-Burst Exercise Ball - Pump Sold Separately

Bought for a six year old with sensory needs which were fully met by this item, absolutely thrilled with the quality and the price, would recommend

Awful product. I should of read the reviews before I purchased! This is a really thin material, and definitely overpriced. We inflated it, and it started to deflate within the hour. It hadn't even been used as my child was asleep. Unfortunately we ripped the box and put it in the recycling not realising that the item was going to be so rubbish, so I don't think we can return it now. Lesson learned there. But what we can do is make people aware of our experience. Every pound counts when you have a disabled child that needs equipment :(

I’ve owned a number of these types of ‘Swiss balls’ in my time but not a peanut one.This one is quite thin compared to previous ones I’ve had. It is still fine for use but may not withstand harsh treatment, such as when people decide to play football or volleyball with it (clearly not designed for that, but people get excited when they encounter these types of balls).It doesn’t come with a pump, which was quite a surprise, given these days things you order from Amazon come with screws and screw drivers even, essentially everything you need to take the item out of the package, set it up and use it immediately. Fortunately, I had a pump available.Like lots of these balls they don’t have a valve, just a straight hole, so it is a test of speed and accuracy to remove the pump and insert the stopper before losing a significant amount of air. My tip is to over-inflate the ball, so when you think there’s enough air in there, just keep on pumping away until the ball is almost bursting, that way you give yourself additional leeway on the air that escapes whilst swapping to the stopper.The other Swiss balls I’ve had are ordered based upon size. This peanut one wasn’t but I’m not sure if that’s the norm with peanut shaped balls.It holds air/its shape well.Useful for yoga, sitting on, as a stretching aid or back rest, or anything else you can think of.

This peanut ball is good value for money, easy to inflate to your desired firmness depending on your usage. It's a good size to sit on or do your exercises.

This is a large peanut ball that certainly has many uses. It's very tacky feeling when you touch it, which I'm not personally keen on as it picks up bits of dirt when it rolls around on the floor.I think for many people it will be just what is needed, for me, not quite what I was expecting.

This is a big peanut ball. It's mission is to help with fitness, yoga or pilates. It does take a while to pump up, even with an electric pump. The material seems fairly soft, so I'm not 100% sure how strong it actually is. The colour is a light blue. I wouldn't recommend inflating everyone you use it as it takes a while. It does the job for exercise. Its great value for money. So if your looking for a peanut ball, this may be the one.

Broke after 2 days use

Alright folks, gather 'round for the latest instalment of "What Have I Purchased Now?" featuring the PHYSIOWORX Peanut Ball. This gem is marketed as a multi-use wonder for everything from yoga and Pilates to rehab and birthing. Yes, you read that right - birthing. Let's dive in, shall we?First off, let’s address the elephant—or rather, the peanut—in the room: this thing doesn’t come with a pump. So, if you’re expecting to inflate it straight out of the box, think again. You'll need to dig out your trusty pump or sprint to the nearest sports store before you can even think about using it. Once you've got your pump, be prepared for a bit of a circus act because there’s no valve to seal it off as you inflate. You’ve got to be quicker than Usain Bolt at the 100m dash to plug it before all that precious air escapes.Size-wise, it's a decent 50cm. Sturdy? Yes. Confidence-inspiring for use during pregnancy? Well, as a bloke, I can’t say I’ve tested it in that scenario, but let’s just say I wouldn’t bet my morning coffee on it holding up under serious pressure. Maybe it’s fine for some gentle bouncing or stretching, but if you're heavily pregnant, you might want to keep a spotter handy or opt for something a bit more, well, reliable.For those of us who aren't sporting a baby bump, it’s pretty versatile. It’s decent for yoga poses, Pilates exercises, or just as an ergonomic seating option to engage your core while you work from home. It’s anti-burst, which is comforting, though I haven’t pushed it to its limits.In summary, the PHYSIOWORX Peanut Ball is a mixed bag. Great for general exercise and seating, a bit of a hassle to inflate, and perhaps not the best bet for birthing unless you’ve got nerves of steel and a backup plan. Keep the pump handy, and may the odds be ever in your favour.
