Recently featured on the Today Show, the BalanceBall® Chair promotes ergonomic sitting and lets you do re-energizing exercises with the ball on or off the chair. A BalanceBall and Ergonomic Desk Chair in One, this training tool promotes healthy, proactive sitting to improve posture and reduce fatigue. Developed with a licensed chiropractor, the sleek BalanceBall Chair aligns your body, relieves tension and keeps your energy moving.
The Gaiam Balance Ball Chair, developed under the consultation of a chiropractic pioneer Dr. Randy Weinzoff, greatly alleviates the aching back/legs/arms syndrome that comes from working at a desk for hours. Designed for people between 5-feet and 5-feet 11-inches tall, this unique "chair" employs the same balance ball used in your workout routine, but with it you also get an adjustable support bar, easy-glide casters, an air pump, and a desktop guide to help keep you moving. Designed by leading health and fitness experts, Gaiam back-care solutions build a healthier back, relieve pain, and improve your overall well being.
 The Balance Ball Chair is an effective tool for strengthening core muscles and improving spinal alignment. |

Great Chair!!!!I love this chair! I tried 6 or 7 different types of chairs until I tried this one. It is the one I am sticking with. I am 5'8" & the chair is plenty high for me. It even has room for more air to be added but the heigth is perfect now for me. I have been using it every day for 6-8 hrs a day for about 3 weeks now, really like it. It does not cut off my circulation to my legs. Easy to assemble.
PerfectThis chair is perfect. It was so easy to put together I didn't even need the instructions. The size was perfect for my height. I love this chair!
Be careful!I love my new chair - but notice a chance to really hurt yourself. If you are used to using exercise balls, you typically reach down and steady the ball before you sit down on it. Well I have nearly caught my finger between the bar you see in the picture across the front of the chair and the ball. When you are not in the chair there is a small gap between the bar and the bar. Then when you sit down the ball expands and presses quite firmly against the bar. So as I said be careful especially if you have little ones around when you are in the chair. My two cents!Gaiam Balance Ball Chair (Black)
It is okayI like this chair. It works well for short periods of time, but over a long (eight hours) time it can wear you down or cause soreness. It builds the muscles in your lower back. So it is worth the purchase.
fun and stableThis chair pretty much provides what it says; frame gives stability, but rolls with wheel resistance. Is low for most desks though and with ball inflated is not cushiony; I had to add a pillow. Very lightweight, if you have to pick it up to move.
