Types Of Exercise Balls We Carry
Exercise Balls
Standard exercise balls (also called stability balls or yoga balls) are designed with a slight give to engage your stabilizing muscles while you train. They’re ideal for stretching, Pilates, yoga, core workouts, and even replacing your office chair for better posture.
Our exercise balls come in multiple sizes to suit your height and training style. Each ball is made from anti-burst, non-slip materials to provide safe, durable support for all types of movements.
Balance Balls
Balance balls are designed to help you improve coordination, posture, and full-body control. They can be used for standing exercises, planks, squats, or push-ups to activate multiple muscle groups at once.
Whether you’re recovering from injury or looking to enhance stability and joint strength, balance balls are an excellent tool for improving body awareness and balance in every movement.
Medicine Balls
Medicine balls are weighted and built for dynamic workouts that combine strength, endurance, and coordination. From wall throws to rotational core exercises, they offer a powerful way to develop explosive strength and cardiovascular fitness.
We stock medicine balls in a wide range of weights and textures, from soft-shell to rubberized options, making them suitable for all fitness levels and training environments.
How To Choose Exercise Balls?
Choosing the right exercise ball depends on your height, fitness goals, and type of training.
- For sitting or core exercises: Choose a ball size that allows your knees to bend at a 90-degree angle when seated.
- For yoga or stretching: A slightly larger ball can improve comfort and range of motion.
- For balance and stability training: Select a smaller, firmer ball to increase difficulty and control.
- For strength workouts: Medicine balls vary by weight; beginners may start with 4 to 6 lbs / 1.8 to 2.7 kg, while advanced users might prefer 10 to 20 lbs / 4.5 to 9.1 kg or more.
If you’re unsure which ball is best for you, our staff can provide expert guidance to help you find the right option for your home gym or commercial space.
