Available in two sizes – 65cm or 75cm – the Pure2Improve Exercise Ball is suitable for all but the shortest of users. At £28.99 and £31.99 respectively, it’s a fairly cost-effective option for home fitness studios, or exercising on the go as it comes with a hand pump for easy inflation – though the stopper can be tricky to pull out when deflating.
Pure2Improve Exercise Gym Ball features
Its dense 100% PVC rubber walls will withstand a fair bit of mistreatment and offer plenty of stability and support. It can handle dynamic and weighted exercises too as it’s built to cope with weights up to 440lb (200kg) – plenty even for heavier users lifting 20kg-plus dumbbells.
Want to ride faster? These are the best e-bikes for road for on and off-road riding
At just 1.2kg the Pure2Improve Exercise Gym Ball is fairly lightweight despite its thick rubber walls. It’s easy to grip and control thanks to its ribbed surface which is slick enough to glide over the floor but sticky enough to prevent it slipping beneath you. It’s also easy to wipe down after each use.

Overall Pure2Improve’s exercise ball is one of the firmest and most comfortable balls to use for static and dynamic exercises alike. Unless you’re particularly short of stature it’s a useful and cost-effecting addition to any home gym set-up.
