Gaiam Balance Ball Chair Black
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. |
The height of the back of the chair is 2.5 feet tall, and the base measures 20 inches wide from one side of the wheels to the other. The chair comes with 2 locking casters and 2 regular ones. The locking casters go on the back of the chair. Some assembly is required. The chair measures 21 x 31 x 22 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 13 pounds. It has a 300-pound weight capacity.

Special Note:
A new ball will not be able to inflate to its full capacity initially. After a few hours, the ball will be more pliable and you can add more air at that time.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great chair!
Love this product, it was easy to assemble, doesn’t take up too much space (about same size/slightly smaller than standard office chair) it’s sturdy and great for exercising. Came with a handy booklet on exercises you can do using the chair.
5 Stars Gaiam Balance Ball Chair
I purchased this chair for my home office. I love it so much, I am considering purchasing one for my work office. One suggestion, make sure you FULLY inflat the balance ball; it will make a difference in how you sit.
2 Stars Small
If you see the girl in the Picture at the desk it looks nice but, to a normal desk your seting on the ground and your head is all thats over top the desk, so if you like type with your hands over your head its fine.
4 Stars Good, but short.
I’m 5′9″ and found this to be too short for me. Fotunately, I already had a larger exercise ball that I used instead of the ball that came with the chair — this works.
I do think it’s overpriced.
2 Stars Gaiam Balance Ball Chair
I had been sitting on a yoga ball for the last 6 months but I really wanted to order the Gaiam Balance Ball Chair. After sitting just on the yoga ball, the Gaiam Balance Ball Chair did not work as good. I would recommend just getting the ball and skipping the chair.
