I purchased this core disk based on its durability and feel. Several co-workers had started sitting on core disks to help improve the strength of their core muscles so I was able to try several different brands. I found the GoFit Core Disk to be the best suited for me. It seemed to provide just a little more challenge than some of the others to remain balanced. I also use mine to stand on and it is strong and maintains its inflation level over time. The GoFit Core Disk is easy to inflate to the correct firmness with only one or two pumps with a bicylce pump. The price was less than in a local sporting good store but slightly more than other brands. I would recommend to friends and co-workers.

Good AB workout while using. I am using it to lift a light set of weights (curls.) Based on muscle soreness (lower rib cage), it is causing work in an area that had not been seeing much use. My wife uses it to work on her balance. Instruction guide included gives several suggestions for workouts/use, which is helpful.

This stability disk is of very high quality. The Go Fit company that makes this product has the highest customer service. It is really refreshing to come across such a quality product and USA company.

I use the core disk for my in-home therapy program for my achilles tendon. I had used a similar device when I was in physical therapy. It is a great help to create better range of motion as well as strengthen my calf and ankle. It's sufficiently challenging.

I love this product! I bought it to use while doing arm exercises. I stand on it and do curls and other toning moves. It makes your core work so you get a double bang for your buck. I also sit on it and do ab exercises at times. I didn't really use the DVD, but I'm sure it has some helpful tips.

I bought this to help me exercise my hips and to help me sit more comfortably. I recently had a hip replacement and I need to do a lot of balancing exercises to strengthen the new hip. When I sit it helps to have my hip above my knee, especially in my car with the low bucket type of seats. This cushion fits well in all kinds of car seats.I would definitely buy this again!

I received my GoFit Core Disk about 2 weeks ago and so far, I really like it. I also use a physio-ball for most of my ab work, but was looking for something new to try. This item fits the bill. I use it for lunges, balancing on two feet, one foot, sit-ups, etc. I like the fact that it came with an instructional DVD (Not a fitness routine, just exercise options). The disk arrived inflated slightly, but I felt it needed a little more air. It comes with an inflation pin (taped to the packaging) and you have to have a bike pump to add more air. I've also been using the fit disk to sit on while I work on my computer (I'm sitting on it now) and it has really improved my sitting posture and makes working on the computer not such a sluggish activity.My only complaint and reason that I am not giving it 5 stars is I wish that some instructional guide (not a DVD) had been included. I like to watch trashy TV while I workout, so I can't do that and watch the instructional DVD at the same time. A chart or booklet of different exercises would have been perfect for me so that I could refer to it as I was using the disk. Also, some instruction as to the amount that the disk should be inflated to would have been helpful too. Just recommendations about disk inflation for certain levels, exercises, uses. etc..

As several reviewers mention, this disk works well as a back support. I've tried several lumbar supports that are actually intended for that purpose and this one works better than them all! I love how a piece of equipment so small and portable is so versatile.I've found a variety of ways to use this disk. For example you can lie with it under your hips (on the floor) for a nice stretch. Of course you can do standing balance work on it, but you can also use it as a head rest in lying down stretches or experiment with placing it under different parts of the body in floor exercises. I also use it conjunction with the two little green balls that come with the Miracle Ball Method by Elaine Petrone. There are even more things I could do with these disks if I just had two instead of one. In short, this little piece of exercise equipment is useful for far more than I imagined when I bought it!The disk is good quality, and after reading many reviews for others that mentioned problems, I've been glad I purchased this one. Though I haven't needed to add air, I'm glad that I can if I want to. (some companies makes disks that you can't adjust).
