Item showed up as expected. There was no way for me to size the ball to make sure I was inflating it enough/too much (in my experience, there is usually a tape that wraps around the ball included with it. This did not have that). There also seems to be a minor gouge in the material on the bottom. I'm concerned this will make the ball weak, but have not experienced any problems yet.
The foot pump is the standard cheap pump that comes with these.
Update 1/20/2016: While I still have no idea whether or not the ball is inflated properly, it has been a few months and the gouge that I was previously concerned about has not proven to be a problem. After the initial pump up, this will deflate a little and need another fill up. Since then, I have not had any problems with air loss above and beyond what is normal in my experience. The pump survived 3 fills now.
Update 5/31/2015
This is my second exercise ball. After attempting to use the 75 cm as a desk chair for months (I normally purchase this size with other brands) I finally decided to get the 65 cm. I don't know why the 10 cm makes a big difference, but with other balls I normally have to go up a size but with this one I guess that was unnecessary. . I can sit on this one and have my feet lie flat on the ground.
I received the same pump and again I did not receive a sizing tape. The ball is inflated and I've only had to re-inflate once. The tool that comes with these is really super handy, I wish the balls I tried in the past had one but it really makes reinflating due to stretching a breeze.
I've been trying to improve core strength, whether or not sitting on it all day long actually makes any improvements... I don't know. What I do know is that my Fitbit counts a step for every 2 bounces so that motivates me to bounce around a bit during the day and I figure it can't hurt to get in a little extra movement. Overall, very pleased with these products.
