Side by Side Comparison of: Champion Sports vs Champion Barbell vs Valeo vs Valor Fitness

Nice!

I love this for slamming exercises. The pattern gives a great grip too. My fiance made the mistake of thinking it was meant for balancing on and it didn't pop (he's 220lbs) so I would say this is a very sturdy product.

Does exactly what I need it for, a shoulder exercise to help a torn rotator cuff. (my PT calls it "the ball on the wall" exercise)

This is the best ball I have found for physical therapy exercises for my shoulder. My cats popped the first ball of a different brand that I purchased so I had to look for another one. I'm sure this one could be popped, but the material is more like a dodgeball from PE in grade school. I have higher hopes for its longevity.

Exactly as described. It is perfect for my rehab exercises. Just like the one at the physical therapy place.

Perfect medicine ball for foot rehab. I bought this to help with post-surgery foot rehab based on my physical therapist's description. They can be hard to find in local sporting good stores. After looking online and around our area, I found this one and ended up buying 2-one for home and one for work. This one mimics the one my physical therapist uses with me. It's squishy enough to roll your foot on, but firm enough to provide resistance. Great for seated toe/calf raises and rolling the ball of your foot---the whole foot really--for an effective stretch. Has held up well to months of foot rolling without issue. Has a bit of weight to it (a few pounds), but light enough to pick up and move with one hand.

It is a little "over filled" which makes it hard to grip.

Exactly what I was looking for and don't have worry about damaging anything if I drop it!

Ball is very soft and mushy, but does have that weight. Would have preferred a more firm medicine ball, but I guess it will get the job done. I use it mainly for roman twist exercises and it works well for that.

They work well. I mistakenly thought they'd be soft enough to grab and pickup with one hand since they are gel filled, but that's not the case.

I like this medicine ball, but you really need some sort of workout gloves to grip it, especially once it gets a little sweaty. Bare hands won't cut it. Other than that, it's great. Good for tossing around, and if you live in an apartment and drop it it won't make as much noise.

Having gone to a few gyms in my day I expected this to be a solid ball with gel in the inner chamber. So that you are aware what this is is the equivilent of a four-square ball with gel inside. It has very thick wills to the ball but it is still elastic in nature find myself nervous that it will rupture someday and the gel carnage will be disasterous. The lighter weight balls 8 lbs and less this does not matter because they are stable enough on own but especially on the largest ball I tend to be a little cautious with it but it still gives the benefit needed from a medecine ball I am just not willing to test it for durrability, have had for months now with no problem though. No leaks and as mentioned the walls of the ball are quite thick so I am probably worried over nothing. Gave it a 4 because not being a solid ball makes storage a little difficult

For the price of these medicine balls, you can't beat it. The only downside to this product is, bigger the medicine ball the more awkward it is to throw against a rebound trampoline. The red and the blue ball are excellent for throwing against the rebound trampoline.

The ball is very large for a 15 lbs ball and the surface texture makes it hard to hold without gloves. Read its very slippery. I'm hoping the strong plastic smell will wear off -not a bad ball for the money, but wish I had read the circumference - its a little big for my average size female adult hands. And the gel will take a little getting used to.

Personally, I did not feel the difference for long after using it! It only release the tension on my neck for a short while.

It does not seem like much but holding it up in the air while I tread water in 9 feet really gets my heart rate up. Don't drop it or you will have to dive deep to get it because it sinks fast.

Love using this ball for inner thigh exercises...but when I pulled it out of the package, it had this awful smell! I've had the ball for about a month...still stinks.UPDATE::: I've had this for over a year now. Happy to report the smell is gone!

I got this medicine ball to enhance my workouts at home. I thought the gel filled ball would be nice instead of a basketball-like medicine ball. However, this ball is much softer than I expected. It's definitely usable, but I wish I had bought a regular medicine ball instead.(Love the purple color though! It matches my stability/balance ball!).

My physical therapist recommended I purchase a 4 pound Mediball. I purchased the Champion instead of a Mediball because the Champion included free prime shipping while the shipping on the Mediball was approximately $12. The Champion is too soft compared to a 4 pound Mediball and pretty much worthless for the exercises prescribed by my physical therapist. I would not purchase this item again.

I actually am disappointed in this ball. The weight is correct, but it's soft interior makes it unable to slam. I wanted to be able to slam it.

Was not what I needed. Way to soft. Probably good for people with arthritis. I gave it away the same day it arrived.

disappointed I was expecting the ball to be firm like all others I have ever used. was planning to use as a massage tool and again ball was not firm enough to work for my purpose

I was looking for a medicine ball to use similar to what my gym has, but this feels like it is not full and I need to add something to it. I would not buy this product again.

The ball has less gel in it then it's supposed to. The ball seems deflated. The claimed weight was 15 pounds but it is actually 14 pounds. I'll try to post a picture. Looking to send in for a replacement. My 7 lb ball is perfect.

SUCKS filled with Gel and it LEAKS OUT!!!! got it all over my couch clothes hands etc. hope its not poision

I wanted to keep the ball because it really is what I am looking for EXCEPT the box it arrived in has a WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause Cancer and birth defects of other reproductive harm. When I told my husband he responded with, "good thing we don't live in California" and then laughed. I took it out of the bag and the dog was too interested in it, I thought she'd end up ingesting it . . . .too bad the description didn't disclose the harmful contents.

I bought this based on the reviews but found it very hard to hold on to. the ball does have "tread" to it but not enough for 15 lbs. The gel seemed to loose and smooshy for a medicine ball. I have been lifting weights for over 22 years so I have experience with all types of medicine balls but would not recommend this gel ball. Maybe the smaller weights would be OK.

The ball would have been fine, but the provider only single wrapped it in a made-up box. Trying to get through the layers of heavy tape, I punctured the ball. Won't order this again.
