Product Description
The innovative BalanceBall Chair lets you reap the benefits of the popular BalanceBall right at your workspace. This patented design lets you do tension-relieving techniques while seated in the chair - or simply remove the ball to stretch and strengthen key muscles without a trip to the gym. Relieves stress on the spine, helps prevent back discomfort and repetitive motion disorders, helps prevent health issues related to poor posture, illustrates non-impact strengthening exercises and stretching and keeps you active, even on busy work days. When you sit in the BalanceBall Chair, the ball acts as a shock absorber and eases your body into an ergonomic position. When your muscles become stiff or whenever you want a break, the exercises in this guide will help you relax, build strength and foster a wide range of health benefits. Exercises performed with the BalanceBall in the chair offer maximum support, stability and convenience. Exercises performed on the ball alone allow greater range of movement. The BalanceBall Chair was developed with Dr. Randy Weinzoff a pioneer in chiropractic care. Trained at the acclaimed Palmer West University in California, Dr. Weinzoff runs his successful practice in Santa Monica, CA based on his philosophy of "Vitality through total alignment of the whole being." Some assembly required.

 Get Altus weighted Body Ball, you will get the same results November 8, 2009

I almost bought this chair, but I found Altus weighted Body Ball and it totally changed my mind.
The weighted version is different than the regular body ball. The ball has 2Lb of sand fill. It is ideal for using it as a chair because you do not have to chase the ball all over the places at your office. And you can easily do some ball exercises whenever you get a break from work. Also the added weight makes you work harder to move the ball with your core muscles and your legs. It is perfect for my need!
I have not seen any weighted version on Amazon because this is some new trend.
To look for weighted version, take a look at the Altus Body Ball package, the left bottom section should say "WEIGHTED BALL PROVIDES ADDED WORKOUT OPTIONS AND BALL WILL NOT ROLL AWAY". (the regular version says "USE FOR CORE, STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY, YOGA OR PILATES" instead)
Gaian Balance Ball = great idea! October 26, 2009

Using the ball helps you to pay more attention to your sitting and therefore you focus more on your posture. I think this is great to use at work to substitute sitting in a regular chair...but only for a few hours at a time. Not the whole day!

I love this chair, it took a bit to get used to it but it does make you sit up straight. The Bonus is you can take the ball out of the chair and use it to exercise.
Good chair! October 19, 2009

Besides causing quite a stir in my office, this chair has definitely helped my posture. It makes me sit up straight instead of slouching as I used to. It takes a little it of getting used to, and hurts your butt a little at first because you're sitting on a part of your butt that you don't normally use. But after a couple of days everything is great! The back rest is also nice for those times when I want to sit back and relax a little.
The base feels a little light, but not so much that it feels flimsy or unsafe. It's just lighter than your average chair. My only complaint is that I keep kicking the lock mechanism on the casters.
I would definitely recommend!
Awesome! September 25, 2009

This is a great product - and since I have received it at work - others have ordered the same product (I should be getting commission!!)
It keeps my posture in check and is so much more comfortable than it appears.
