Replacement Barre3 Ball

Hi,

I am needing a replacement Barre3 ball that came with the 28 to Great dvd set. Does anyone have any suggestions for a ball that would work?
Apparently it's a sticky ball, not sure what that does exactly as I never actually got to use the ball that came with my set. My two 1 year old Labradors decided they wanted to play with it before I got a chance to use it, much less inflate it!!

It looks like I can buy one from the Barre3 website (different color but hopefully it does the same thing)but shipping to me is $15 so hoping I can find something on Amazon to bundle it up with other stuff.

I bought mine at Amazon years ago. It's a few dollars more now than what I paid but it's my fav ball ever and only one I use.

Thank you so much! The ball itself doesn't ship to Australia but the Pilates kit mentioned in the other post linked does and the DVDs is only $12!!

Thank you so much

You can order Fitball from here too - http://www.fitball.com/FitBALL-Mini-.../#.Vbi7ypUw-Uk - it really is a fantastic ball. I bought a whole lot of them to use in my Pilates classes, and my clients love them.

I have this one. It's perfect for Barre3 and other barre workouts.

In the picture, this Sportime ball looks shiny-smooth. The Fitball/Barre3 ball is matte/tacky.

I read some of the reviews and people were saying it wasn't smooth but had a matte type finish. I don't own this so can't say for sure, just basing it on the reviews.

Here is what it states: "The Sportime 1004586 SloMo exercise and therapy ball inflates from 7.5 to 10" diameter and has a stippled surface for tactile stimulation. It can be inserted inside a GrabBall (sold separately) to add bounce ability. Ball colors may vary. Special needs products are designed to help improve sensory processing, positioning and mobility, fine motor, and language and communication skills for students with learning challenges. Fine motor products can help individuals improve fine motor skills (hand dexterity), eye-hand coordination, handwriting, self-help skills, such as dressing, and focus and concentration."

I bought the original Barre3 video directly from Barre3 years ago, and it came with a Fitball mini. This was before they were ordering custom branded balls, but I would pretty much guarantee that the Barre3 balls are still Fitball Minis, just with the Barre 3 logo silkscreened on them instead of the Fitball logo. So you should be able to get the same ball without paying Barre3's shipping costs.
