In 1996, AOK began its Gymball evolution and screening programme. Since then world leading examining protocols have been developed for inflatable PVC devices. As a result of this work the MaxBall and DuraBall were presented.

Dura Ball Pro

The Dura Ball Pro has a 500kg burst resistance and will slowly deflate when pierced giving the user time to get off, greatly cutting the risk of accidental injury.

Gymballs resist distortion below heavy cargo which implies that receptive directions are stimulated throughout the whole range of movement. It is even immune to wearing and extending.

Max Ball

The Max Ball features a 750kg burst resistance feature and {will} slowly deflate when pierced enabling the user time to get off, immensely cutting the hazard of injury.

Independently screened at the University of Newcastle, Australia this ball is originally produced for heavy free-weight developing in a commercial surroundings. Its dimpled non-surface keeps the product from slipping when utilising heavy weights.

These products have been screened to guarantee product consistency and have diversely withstood static loads well in excess of 4000kg with burst resistance to a load of 500kg.

This does not mean that the gymball is puncture resistant but it does provide protection from sudden deflation.  Burst immunity means AOK Gym balls are designed to take a minimum of 30 seconds to {deflate} if mistakenly punctured.

All gymballs designed are pre-inflated and tested to withstand extremely low amounts of faulty balls. Over the last 5 years AOK have had a return rate of less than 0.2%

A gymball with burst immunity to over 500kg may seem radical, however when stationary on a gym ball, the impact of your weight is more broader than your body weight. This is called impingement loading.

This can simply be two and a half times your body weight, so for an 80kg person utilizing a pair of 10kg dumbbells the impact load could easily surpass 250kg.

Regular gymballs compress below heavy loads, the MaxBall maintains round shape under heavy loads.

AOK Gymball test

A 2 inch cut was put into the gymball with a sharp appliance, assuming an object deflating a gymball on the gym floor.

A 75kg person remained seated on the gym ball, squeezing the air to move out of it. After approximately 30 seconds, there was still sufficient air in the gym ball to hold the user, giving them sufficient time to safely get off the gymball without obtaining injury.

Why opt Gymballs?

Any age, any fitness level , the gymball can be used by everyone! It is the ideal workout tool and provides a very impressive, yet challenging workout.

Different benefit the Gymball is portable and can be employed anywhere, in the home or gym.

The Gym ball can be employed for a total body exercise and regularly practicing with a gym ball will also enable you burn fat rapidly, improve balance and co-ordination, relieve muscle tension and add to lowering your cholesterol.

Escape, the industry leader in practical fitness have assembled the greatest gymball devices in one place, at one time to help you decide which one will work well for you. They also have a number of store products available, to help you preserve your gymballs stable and secure.
