 Waste of Money April 23, 2008
A. Cox
I bought this kit expecting a yoga workout, with the accessories to go with it. What I got was a "Yoga-Pilates" video that lasted about 15 minutes and I never even felt warmed up (it was not stated in any description for the product that it was Yoga and Pilates). Also, I'm 5'8" and the ball is too small for me. I was disappointed to find that this kit came with a VHS tape, who even uses VHS anymore? It certainly doesn't feel like I got my money's worth.

Product was fine (yoga ball, Mat, Insta-pump for yoga Ball). The tape on the other hand.......WHO USES VHS ANYMORE? Very disappointed. Feel like sending back, but who wants to hassle with returning items? Not a happy customer.

Based on the price and quality, this is a fantastic kit for someone beginning to use balance/stability/fitness balls. For this price, you're getting the ball, pump, mat, and a very basic instructional video. Most balls of this quality are priced higher than this for just the ball!
The ball itself is perfect for petite consumers - if you're over 5'5" or so, please get a 65 or 75 cm ball, depending on your height. The pump is kind of cheaply made, but it gets the job done and you're probably not going to use it more than a few times, because these balls tend to stay well-inflated. The mat is a typical yoga/pilates mat. It is a thin mat (1/8 of an inch), but I personally prefer my mats this way. Too thick and you can't do exercises properly. It is perfect for ball exercises.
As for the video, it is just a very basic introduction, geared toward the yoga end of things. I recommend also buying an in-depth instructional VHS/DVD that concentrates on the fitness ball topic in which you're most interested (weightloss, flexibility, pilates, yoga, etc).
Regardless of which product you buy, you're definitely making a great choice when buying a fitness ball!
 A nice starter kit for a yoga/Pilates beginner September 13, 2005

This is a good kit for getting started with yoga/Pilates. It includes some nice, quality equipment for a good value. The high-quality ball is rugged and easy to pump (the pump is included). The ball is 22 inches/55 cm, which you wouldn't know unless you read the actual box - the perfect size ball if you are between 4'8" and 5'5" or on the "petite" side. You also receive a nice, grippy yoga mat and a so-so instructional video. The video is short and the instructor is easy to follow, and after finishing it you feel like you've got a good grasp of at least a few of the "basics" of yoga/Pilates - terminology as well as actual poses. The video isn't the best quality, though. I would have preferred something longer, and in DVD format, but for the price, I really can't complain.
After I practiced with this set for a while at home, I felt ready to tackle a more advanced yoga/Pilates class at my gym. Overall, a good starter kit. My only beef is that if you're on the taller side, the ball is going to be way too small for you.
