1. PEXMOR Yoga Half Ball Balance Trainer
The Pexmor BOSU ball is a complete core trainer. This product includes the half ball, two detachable resistance bands, two air pumps, two air plugs and a free workout guide.
It’s a light weight BOSU ball that’s easy to transport around your house or during your workout. And it was designed by top fitness professionals to help both beginners and advance practitioners tone their muscles. The PEXMOR comes in two styles: smooth top and nubbed top. The nubbed on seems cool at first but for those with sensitive skin they can be a little uncomfortable at times.
However, if you’re not sensitive to the nubs and enjoy using a Rumble Roller then this might be the best choice for you since it does have a massaging effect on your back while you’re performing crunches.
Pros
- Total weight of ball is 12 lbs
- Rated to handle up to 660 lbs.
- The ball is made of hypoallergenic and eco-friendly material
- Nubbed surface provides stimulation like a massage and it’s slip resistant
- Base made is made of wear resistant ABS material with eight non-skid feet for stability
- Two detachable resistance bands included
- Two air plugs included
- Can be used as a balance board
- Workout guide included
- Easy to clean surface
- Is available in both blue and pink
- Comparable in quality of construction to higher priced BOSU balls
Cons
- No mention of warranty from the manufacture
- A few reports of the resistance bands being too long
2. Ovillow Yoga Exercise Ball, Premium Pro Balance Trainer
The Ovillow Yoga ball is light in weight and easy to take with you to the gym or park. And the non-slip textured surface means you’ll feel stable while exercising – even when you’re sweaty.
Your package includes two resistance bands, a pump and everything you need to get a great workout regardless of your skill level. We did feel like the bands were a little light but you can always use your own resistance bands if you have them. Otherwise, you can get a pair to use with the ball. The ball itself is a good quality and durable ball that you’ll be able to use for years without any issues.
Pros
- Supports up to 300 lbs.
- Ribbed textured surface to prevent slipping
- Foot air pump included in package
- Two detachable resistance bands included
- Ball made of blended and durable non-toxic PVC
- Base made non-slip ABS material
- Workout chart available online
Cons
- Only available in army green with a black base
- No warranty information available
3. BOSU Pro Balance Trainer
The BOSU Pro Balance Trainer is made to commercial standards so no matter how tough the workout is, this item will withstand the forces exerted on it.
If you’re planning on doing advanced workouts or know you’ll be using the ball daily, this one’s the most durable option. In fact, because it’s designed to withstand continuous daily use, it’s the preferred BOSU ball in many gyms across America.
Your package includes the commercial use BOSU ball, a pump, DVD for training, training manual, and its made in the USA. Chances are that, if you’ve used a BOSU ball at your gym, you’ve probably used this model. Additionally, its latex free making it a great option for anyone with latex allergies.
The only downside of this ball is that some purchasers reported the ball detaching from the frame. It can happen with anything produced in massive quantities I suppose. We didn’t and haven’t had any issues with that but its something to consider.
Pros
- Rated to handle up to 350 lbs.
- Both an exercise pamphlet and DVD included in the package
- Made in the USA
- Under the blue PVC dome is an 8 lb bladder to prevent it from leaking air
- Base is non-skid and non-marking
- Ball surface is non-skid and non-slip
- Hand air pump included in package
- Comes in blue and pink
- Surface is latex free and burst resistant
Cons
- No resistance bands
- 1 year limited warranty
4. BELEBOOM Balance Trainer Ball
The BELEBLOOM BOSU ball is a relatively new comer and replaced the previosly recommended Sweatflix ball. We really appreciate not only the style but also the durability of the BELEBLOOM. It holds up to 800 lbs of pressure which is far more than the traditional, non-pro BOSU balls. It also has a textured wave pattern on the surface making it very grippable and non-slip even when you’re sweating profusely.
The BELEBLOOM is also lighter than many BOSU balls, weighing only 11.5 lbs while having a thicker surface to prevent puncture. The bottom has tiny little grips to keep it in place and they do their job well. When you pick it up, it feels a little light but you can tell it’s a quality item. And its guaranteed for two years so if anything happens, you can send it back.
As far as style goes, at the time of this writing, it’s offered in three color options which are all much cooler than most of the current BOSU color options. Overall, you can’t go wrong with the BELEBLOOM.
Pros
- Rated to handle up to 800 lbs.
- Two detachable resistance bands included
- Foot air pump included in package
- Super cool style/color choices
- Ball surface is non-slip
- Extra thick surface to resist puncture
- Two year guarantee
Cons
- The elastic bands are a little weak/low resistance
