Maxafe®

Exercise Balls and Accessories
From the Originator of the Swiss Ball
Ledragomma manufactured the very first exercise balls (also called Swiss Balls, gymnastic balls, physioballs, gym balls, stability balls, and pilates balls) in the early 1960s, and continues to be the market leader. Their Maxafe exercise ball is made from a patented anti-burst material, and is the only exercise ball that can be repaired.
What Makes This a Better Fitness Product?
Exercise balls have become a basic staple for many types of core and stability training. While it's easy to find cheap exercise balls at your local department store, you're not likely to be happy with their quality. The cheapest balls have a slick surface, a squishy feel, and do a poor job of supporting your body. Some even leak air and need frequent re-pumping. Save yourself the aggravation and spend a few dollars more for a high-quality Maxafe ball.
The Difference is Flexton Silpower®
Maxafe exercise balls are made from flexton silpower, a patented material that eliminates the possibility of sudden ball failure. If punctured, regular balls can deflate suddenly (like a popped balloon), but Maxafe exercise balls deflate slowly to minimize your risk of injury.

Balls made from flexton silpower have a lightly textured, non-glossy surface, which is comfortable against your skin and provides a more slip-resistant grip for exercises like ball pushups.

An additional advantage to flexton silpower is that small cuts and punctures can be repaired with Ledragomma's Fixa-Kit. (See details below under "Accessories".)

A Maxafe Exercise Ball Will Make a Great Addition to Your Gym
Regardless of whether you're a hard-core athlete or someone simply trying to age more gracefully, an exercise ball is a versatile and cost-effective tool. Use it for balance and stability drills, core training, stretching, and as a support for dumbbell exercises.

Buy the Right Size Exercise Ball for Your Body
Maxafe exercise balls come in one color (blue) and three different sizes. For the most comfortable use and best results, we recommend selecting the size based on this chart:
Your Height Ball Diameter
under 5'3" 53 cm
5'3" to 6'0" 65 cm
over 6'0" 75 cm
Accessories for Your Maxafe Exercise Ball
These accessories will help you get the most out of your Maxafe exercise ball:
Faster Blaster II Hand Pump
It may look like a toy, but this is probably the best hand pump ever made. It's easy to use, pumps air on both the forward and backward portion of the stroke, doesn't leak, lasts forever, and can inflate an exercise ball in under a minute. It's infinitely better than any of the "free" foot pumps that other manufacturers include with their balls. Reasonably priced and worth every penny.

Fixa-Kit Repair Kit
It's a shame to have to replace your exercise ball just because you rolled over a paper clip or staple that someone dropped on the floor. It's also a real waste of resources. The Fixa-Kit is a better option. It allows you to patch the flexton silpower material as easily as you'd patch a bicycle inner tube.

Warning: The Fixa-Kit works only with Maxafe exercise balls, and is only for punctures and cuts less than 1/4" in length. The patched ball will not be as strong as the original, and should not be used for heavy weight lifting.

BallJacket
You can use your exercise ball anywhere (even outside!) when you protect it with a BallJacket. This rugged 1000 denier nylon cover fits an exercise ball like a glove, and guards against puncture and abrasion.

BallJackets are available in many different colors, and fit all sizes of Maxafe exercise balls. Learn more about this unique product and order it separately on our BallJacket page.
