Champion Sports Exercise Medicine Balls, 8 Sizes, Leather with No-Slip Grip - Weighted Med Ball Set for Weight Training, Stability, Plyometrics, Cross Training, Core Strength - Heavy Workout Ball

Let me preface by saying I like my fitness equipment to look nice. I needed medicine balls and chose these bc they fit my exercise intent and look nice.I can’t speak to the durability as I use mine for mostly core work exercises and with partner workout tosses etc. so no slamming on the ground for me.Also, the balls aren't perfectly round like a sphere. This is due to what I presume is the material it’s made of.The finish on these balls is why I drop it to 4 stars as the surface is slick and if you’re not prepared it will slide out of your hands. Even during tosses with another partner you have to grasp it firmly. Unlike other rubberized balls with grips there is very little tact. My first one of these was the 14lb. One. It assaulted me when I dropped it on my face bc the surface was slick, my hands were sweaty, thus it slipped out of my hands. Broke my glasses too. I was like poor little Ralphie.These balls are very handsome and have their uses for exercise. I would recommend using them with gloves to improve stability and manipulation capabilities due to the slick surface. They look adorable lined up on my little restoration hardware stand.

Ordered 12/13/19 at 8:51 A.M. and received the order on 12/14/19 at 2:30 P.M.! Packaged very well! Medicine ball is leather, stitched well, and looks very durable.This product’s description says 4-5 lbs. However, the ball has “4 lb” printed on the leather, and it weighs in at exactly 4 lbs.Although my daughter’s volleyball trainer said to get a 5 lb medicine ball, I’m satisfied with this product. However, the ball is a lot smaller than a volleyball (13s travel team).

The best medicine ball I've ever purchased! I've been using these balls at my gym for over a year. Every time we need to add more equipment I order these - there's no need to even look at other brands. Ball slams, core exercises, wall balls - you name it, this product will deliver. Over time you may notice sand leaking if you do a lot of ball slams with them, but it took several months and thousands of slams for me to ever notice leakage (which is to be expected with this construction). It is so versatile and the perfect size. Brands with larger balls tend to hurt members hands who have arthritis and a lot of women have trouble holding onto them. This products compact size alleviates those issues. This repeat custom would recommend these for any gym or home gym!

I purchased this medicine ball to add to my growing home gym. I know Champion is a quality company and I saw the price of the 9/10lb 2 KG ball and couldn’t pass it up. Plus this was an actual medicine ball not a slam ball, I wanted a real old school medicine ball, this one is that. At first when i unboxed it, and took off the plastic I felt a bunch of sand and got worried. That is completely normal. The ball was in perfect condition and felt exactly the way I wanted it to feel. I’ve already used it twice and it’s perfect. Good quality, no odd smells, great feel when you are holding it. Perfectly sized and weight too. It will definitely last! I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. For the price you can’t beat this ball. Some other sellers were offering cheaper priced slam balls and then they would say medicine ball in the description so it’s confusing. This is a medicine ball, made of leather and you can’t feel anything shaking around inside it’s great. It came next day as promised so shipping was on point. I will definitely be purchasing a heavier version of this same ball to add to my gym in the next month or so. Thanks for being exactly like described and still making the quality we all care about! I appreciate that. I definitely recommend this medicine ball 💯!

Tremendous medicine ball. I have been slamming this ball and tossing it against concrete, brick, blacktop, trees, poles for 2 years straight and it has held up perfectly fine. I use it twice a week for over 200 slams each workout as hard as I can (and I weight 200 lbs). It provides a great plyometric, cardio workout. Save your money on the dynamax, this ball does the job for a much better price. it is leather and looks nice. I wish they made a ball that weighed 20 lbs. The ball I use weighs 14 lbs. When I weighed it when I first got it, it read 13.5 lbs.

I used to have an older leather ball just like this one (execpt it was all black in color), that I had to tearfully give up when I left my old unit unexpectedly. I use this for many different fitness activities, and the 16 pounder is ideal, both in weight and size, for a medium, athletic-build male. I do a lot of medicine ball narrow-grip pushups on it, which, combined with the Russian-Twist, are two great reasons for getting a leather ball instead of rubber (easier grip that doesn't slide as easy when sweaty). I would certainly give this medicine ball five stars, but for the fact that they make the color of this one look Teal, when the actual color is baby blue. Our home is decorated with a lot of mid-century accents teal being a predominant color, and I love to leave my workout gear out in the den, so I was disappointed when the color wasn't what I expected. I kept the ball anyway, as I really missed my old one!

I got this to attempt to work out while on quarantine. A lot of people were charging a fortune in shipping for dumbells and other workout equipment since they were being stopped price gouging for items. So this was a good priced item to use and workout with. It does the job, and I'm actually taking it to an outside fit camp this weekend since there aren't a lot of places open and the trainer I'm working with is building up her personal equipment. I'm happy I bought it and would buy it again. Once I get stronger I'll order some heavier ones.

Really great quality, my first thought when I took it out of the box was, oh yeah, this is going to last a lifetime.I have not had a medicine ball before, but after taking a good amount of time comparing with rubber or plastic, or whatever all the others were, I just felt confident that leather would be a lot better, and I am glad I made this choice.A doctor on youtube showed ways of using it to relieve trigger points etc. on the adductor muscles, which is what made me decide to get it, but I will find other exercises for it I'm sure.

heavy and sturdy ball, good for cross-fit and some ground technics of judo, bjj, etc.after several weeks of using the ball has got smashed and pumpkin shape that is an advantage for guys who doing ne-waza in judo or bjj

Suggested by my physiotherapist... I use it every day for upper body strengthening as part of my active rehabilitation. I like its texture and its size is just right for my hands.

The ball is sturdy and well made. It is smaller that I expected since I have other balls that are larger. Still does what I need it to do. Thank you.

No pesa lo que dice que debería de pesar y es una lástima porque el la pelota está muy bonita y se ve de buen material; por lo demás llego rápido como siempre.
