STOTT PILATES Toning Ball

You receive one ball for the price, not a set. These balls are slightly smaller and more manageable for small hands then the newer Stott Balls or the Thera-band balls (which are quite large). The issue with these balls is 1. pricey 2. varying levels of quality. I purchased two balls both 1lb and 2lb and the density varied across these; even if you buy two of the same they end up not feeling the same. The newer Stott balls have better quality control and are cheaper. Have uploaded a picture of this product (purple) and newer Stott ball (yellow) side by side- Buy these if you want a smaller sized ball. However, you may need to buy several to find a same size pair- The Theraband balls and newer Stott balls (sold in pairs) are better quality but they are large- Theraband balls are pricey on Amazon (suggest you buy them elsewhere). Theraband is a great option if you don't have small hands. the Theraband balls also come with an exercise printout

Very disappointed that the ball developed a hole, which leaked metal flakes that make up the weight of the ball. I didn't use it that much, and now, 6 months later, I can't use it at all. I liked the concept of using this ball, but the reality left me with a ball that is useless. Warranted only 30 days. Material not durable.

So disappointed. I ordered two toning balls - one for each hand - and although they may weigh the same, they are not the same size/diameter. Will likely return....

I work out three times a week with 3 and 5 lb weights, so I bought 2 lb balls and injured myself terribly the first time

I was going to return one ball because it was deflated. Then I read the review that says to inflate it using a pump and needle, which I had from my mini yoga ball. It looks great now. Plus I have small hands so this size works better.

These are a great accessory for Pilates work with my clients. I work with a lot of teenage dancers, and have found they respond better to using these as opposed to dumbbells. The weight is ideal for adding strength training into reformer exercises, but I will also place these on clients' lower backs during four point kneel position to challenge hip stability. A tricky but great way to get them to learn about isolation and control. Would have purchased more if that shipping costs were not as high for sending to NZ. Thanks!

these two pound toning balls are great props that can make some exercises more challenging and others easier. they are not too heavy and about right for either sex, although generally speaking (forgive me for stereotyping) some men will prefer the heavier three pounders and some women will opt for the one pounders. when you've learned an exercise without the toning balls, it can increase the challenge and strength. for roll ups, when you want a heavier counter-balance, the balls will reduce the challenge and give you hope.

Great product! Perfect weight and I use during days when I don't have formal Pilates reformer class. I was surprised when there was only one becuase they are typically sold as a set, but I didn't read the description closely enough when I ordered.

this is exactly what I needed and does exactly what I expected, easy to hold and use, not too heavy.

Weight was off on each ball. Bit disappointing considering the brand.

Best weight, great size to hold in hand

My wife likes it very much for her exercises.

I've been searching the internet for small 2lbs toning balls, I was excited when I found one that would fit properly in my hands (I have small hands). I was disappointed however when I only received one sized as pictured and the other one is an inch larger in diameter. One of them fit perfectly, and the other one is slightly too big to grasp.One of the balls is not sold as pictured. Also, why not keep it consistent and send two that are the same size? It just doesn't make any sense. Especially since they are so expensive.

I really enjoy these, they are the perfect weight for Pilates (I bought 2) and are super easy to grip (I have small hands) and are great to use between my legs as well when doing leg lifts and ab work because they are pliable they are easy to grip and hold on to without interfering with my posture or the pose I'm in. Love them! Highly recommend! Great product for the price!

As advertise. Product arrived promptly. For strengthening grip and wrists, I find it more effective to use these than traditional dumbbells.

This was purchased for me toss it back and forth to help with peripheral vision and balance issues. It is a good size for my small hands.

I like it but little bit small

I expected there to be two balls for this price, also since only having one is pretty useless, so I returned it. The ball itself was fine, just not worth the cost, you're paying for the branding more than anything else.

And in0line with similar products I've seen. Very good construction and has held up to daily use during the pandemic shutdown.

I received 2 balls as ordered, both green and both 3lbs....but one is much larger(and lighter green) than the other....?

My wife love these, says they were just what she needed while doing her pilates. I like that they are rubberized for feel and if they happened to be dropped.

I learned about the pink ball at an exercise class and bought one for myself. It relaxes my quad muscles when they get too tight and I am pleased with it.

Good grip and the right amount of softness. Having read previous reviews, I knew I had to order 2 to make the pair. They should be sold in pairs.
