I don't recall life BBB (Before Balance Ball Chair

I've been eyeing the balance ball chair for YEARS...dropping hints to friends and family and FINALLY someone listened! I have to say that this is even better than I thought that it would be. My posture changed overnight!!! I sit in front of a computer 10+ hours a day and I ofen find myself with hunched shoulders, slumped down in my chair. That is a memory of the past. Believe me I am the total envy of my office!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I thought getting this chair would solve my sitting for a long time woes, but it just made my butt hurt. I tried letting more air out, I sat on it for a week but it really made my sit bones hurt. My back and core were fine, just where I sat on the chair hurt. Also, sometimes I wear a bit of a heel to work and I think you need to wear flats all the time to keep the proper alignment. I'm pretty bummed that I will be returning it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have noticed a big difference in my shoulders. They are not as tight and sore since using my ball chair.

The balanceball chair is awesome. The desktop guide book was extremely helpful for stretching.exercise. I sit at my desk long periods of time. This chair keeps me mindful of my posture which in turn helps with redusing neck and back strain. The workout guide is helpful also. A great workout for toning your body. Everything you need comes in the kit. LOVE...LOVE...LOVE IT

I discovered this chair while working at another company, so when I got my new job, I knew exactly what chair I wanted to order. Never having purchased a new one before, I was not aware that the ball needs time to expand to its actual size. One of the things that I like most about the chair is that I sit up a little higher and it helps me maintain the correct elbow to hand height ratio for me when typing on my keyboard. I believe it also helps with posture. And in comparison to what some ergonomic chairs can go for, this chair is definitely a deal!

This is the second ball chair I've owned. It has kept me from having any back issues ever since owning one. I recommend it to everyone...and most everyone says it's too weird looking. Yeah, well, you look pretty weird hunched over with back pain too. This is far better. Also, Gaim's service is amazing. The packaging did not have the plug to keep the air in the ball (or so I thought...I found it later). I called and the person on the phone said it would take 10-14 days to send me a new one (which they were happy to do). About two days later, I got it in the mail...express. Kathy, I think, had sensed my disappointment in it taking so long (for something the size of a thumbtack) so, she personally found one, packed it up and sent it express with a handwritten note. THAT is customer service!!

Great way to sit

I bought this chair for one of my employees who sits on a regular balance ball at her desk at home. She needed to be able to move around at work and this proved to be the perfect solution for her. Now all my employees want one of their own. They have been trying hers out and love it. It's a wonderful perk for any great employee and not much more expensive than a regular office chair.
