"I received the exercise ball in record time!!"
"The pump it comes with is definitely better than most, but it still isn't great... but for the price, the ball itself is still a great deal."
"Great price and is priceless when it has given grandson hours of fun."
"Even though it's smaller than I expected it's still usable and I enjoy it since I use it in the mornings so I don't have to go to the gym in the morning and at night."
"Bought this upon the recommendation of my physical therapist."
"But in actual it is not that shiny and material looks little bit on the cheap side."
"Set up was easy and I love that it came with a hand pump! This makes inflation/deflation so easy."

Find Best Price at Amazon"It couldn't be a crazy color because it would be in an office setting and the shiny rubbery ones look like something kids would play with. This ball looked great because it was a neutral gray, didn't have any crazy markings except "DynaPro" on the side, and had more of a matte finish. I debated returning it, but the card inside the packaging said to give it 24 hours for the material to fully expand. I noticed that once the ball is inflated fully, the pump no longer lets out air as many people complain. Once you push it in, some sort of air lock happens and it doesn't change until you start pulling back the pump again."
"So, I unpacked the ball again, re-inflated it, waited 24 hours, added some more air to the ball, then sure enough, the ball finally stretched out and reached almost 65 cm. I've noticed that many manufacturers of PVC exercise balls fail to give this instruction, and think it's strange, since they could probably avoid some product returns by mentioning this instruction. It has never lost any air, and it is of noticeably better quality and thickness than other exercise balls I sometimes use use at the gym."
"Purchased this for doing P90x-2 thinking it'd be a great stability ball."
"While I personally am not a fan of companies pressing customers for reviews (it would seem to reflect a potentially dishonest bias), this ball has been very helpful in my daily life - from Stuart McGill's "Stirring the pot" exercise for back strength to Swiss Ball Core Workout by Declan Condron, I am finding it of singular value."
"Used this during the last leg of pregnancy, really helped relieve lower back pain, and pressure in my hips, served its justice during active labor as well."
"Funny thing is they stopped me doing the exercise I was doing to use this ball, but they did give me advise on other exercises to do with the ball."
"I have an older version of a green ball and have to struggle to get the valve out and I hate the foot pump."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I have reached out to Gaiam Customer Service a few times over the past several weeks (while waiting for my replacement bar) to find out if/when they will begin selling these chairs with an upgraded bar but have yet to receive a response (or acknowledgement) to my question. However, I would wait to see when/if Gaiam begins using higher quality material for the "metal" bar."
"I used to "sit" with my chair rolled all the way under the desk leaned back so that my butt and shoulders were the only thing supported. This balance chair forces you to sit up straight and support yourself. You will find yourself sitting more upright even when you are not using the chair."
"That means I paid a lot of money for an exercise ball. I changed from a one star to a three star, not because anything has changed, but because we threw the defective frame away and replaced this chair with a different chair entirely."
"Buy these roller ball extenders to enable you to sit at your desk better if you are shorter like me!"
"There is no reason for the metal bar to snap unless it was made of substandard materials and the customer service guarantees are only as good as the people who read the emails and understand prompt and correct replacement parts."
"Here I am writing this review with a broken chair on September 21, 2016 - see attached pictures for poor quality material. When you try to lean back/"butt up" in order to gain a fixed posture the chair back is made of cheap plastic and is affixed to more cheap plastic so the chair just leans back and provides no support. Overall I'm very disappointed by the quality of this chair."

Find Best Price at Amazon"As I lay on the toy strewn floor quivering in battery operated pain one brave child who is forever striving to be my favorite grabbed the evil devil box and in the brave attempt to turn it off, instead turned up the frequency of the attack. The injured and now fear filled mom is a quivering mass of pain and the children are now gleefully trying out the Devils toy on random body parts. I am giving this evil box a five star rating as the original pinched nerve pain is now completely gone."
"However, the instruction booklet is NOT helpful at all, so there are several functions he still doesn’t know how to utilize."
"It used to be that I couldn't bend well at all, could only stand for an hour at most even with taking Aleve and my prescribed muscle relaxer (and in retail that suuucks), and was always in real pain by the end of the day, no matter what, but since using the tens therapy about once every other day, and sometimes more when I'm actively very sore, I've notice significantly less steady pain, I'm more limber, spasms have become few and far between, and there have been days when I've been able to work short shifts (>5hrs) medication free! All in all I would recommend this to anybody curious, who struggles with ongoing muscle pain and weakness or spasms, and will be reordering pads soon (I find I get about a week or so of good uses out of each)."
"No problem - with this TENS unit, I can place the electrodes on the different spots and get relief all at once. I would definitely recommend this unit."
"I immediately bought one for myself and gave it to my Mom for a recent knee injury."
"I bought this for my husband's back pain."
"Good control over intensity level from very low to very high."
"You can see the muscles moving and contracting on all but the lowest settings, and it really feels like someone is kneading your muscles on the knead setting, I was so surprised!"

Find Best Price at Amazon"They're a great way to build up my hand strength, and kind of fun just to work them at the office, or while watching television. One small issue which cost a star in my rating was labeling."
"My surgeon did not order PT/OT right away, and having the putty to use (once my stitches were out) really helped build back my hand strength. I did eventually go to OT, more for stiffness and decreased range of motion, but grip strength measurements taken there 6 weeks after surgery were improved compared to before surgery - and I credit the theraputty for helping me do that."
"I was looking to get a complete set but at the same time not break the bank. Because this set has so many levels, I an can really work the child based on their mood and levels."
"I have used this on silicone, plastic, Formica, and marble surfaces without any problems."
"It is a little more firm than I had thought it would be but dont push it fast and it does a great job for those of us needing a very light workout for our hands."
"I have a trigger thumb that is helped a lot by using this putty."
"I was suspicious at that point whether someone had just put some nasty Silly Putty in a container and called it Theraputty."
"The theraputty that arrived today is 1) much stiffer than the comparable color in the therapist's office. And yes, the product theraputty sold me is a smaller portion than the 2 oz theraputty in the therapy office... yet it's the same brand and everything."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I've been suffering from a bout of tennis elbow for 3 months now and after only a week of performing the simple exercises 3 times a day my elbow feels better than it has since summer."
"It's only been 3 days...) What's also amazing, is I had a wrist pain for months on the other hand (early arthritis characterized by a bump which might develop soon my doctor said) and that's better too."
"I read about and watched online video clips about using the Flexbar as means of therapy for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)."
"The downside for me is that the green bar is larger in circumference than the red bar, and I have small hands, so it makes the exercises harder to do than it should be."
"Was recommended to me by an ER physician who is a rock climber to help treat my lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)."
"After practice my elbow still gets a little sore, but then I do 3 sets of 12 and almost instantly it feels almost pain free."
"Basically, there are two exercises that you can do with this resistance bar."
"Icing, stretching at home; Same at PT + weights, and other special treatments. Discharged to my doc, who then recommended a cortisone shot and potential surgery down the line. If I continue to improve or stall but still have pain, I will upgrade from the green (15lb) to the 25lb item. I started with the green as I am a 30 year old male who is in ok shape and also this was the color recommended to me by a friend."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Plus a little bit with equipment, starting with a reclining cycle for ten minutes at the beginning of each session, to loosen the joints. I saw this pedal exercisrr, and thought it might help me to both continue building quadriceps as well as loosening the joints. The foam that covers the pedal arms was a bit too long, and rubbed against both the pedals and the center gear. That was easily fixed...sharp case cutter used to trim about 1/3 inch off each end of both foam covers."
"The drive exerciser keep shaking while I pedal."
"I use it 30 minutes a day to exercise my broken leg."

"I do definitely recommend this for kids that get anxious and may need something to chew on daily."

NOW-- do not be fooled-- even WITHOUT a whole bunch of required tools, installation of these is a bit of a bear. I think I spent about an hour under the bed putting the straps under the hyrdraulic lift tubes and then around the whole frame base."
"Strap slightly challenging to put on, only reason I didn't give product five stars BUT I would still purchase it again."
"He is able to move his right arm through the loop and up to grasp the top of the cane and provide himself balance as he pulls himself into a sitting position.

"The device is very sturdy - I had ordered a 'back stretcher' thing that looks like a half-circle, and I only found them in plastic. The TRAX, however, is solid metal, and the hand grips are rubber, as are the pads where you put the device against your legs."
