79% of all fitness clubs offer fitness balls or classes (International Association of Fitness Professionals). Nearly 1 million Gaiam BalanceBall Kits were sold in 2002 alone.

Plus, BalanceBalls are safe and easy to use at any age or fitness level.

Gaiam's exclusive Premium BeneFit Eco-Friendly Mat is made with a patented phthalate-free and latex-free material that is more sensitive to the environment and your health.

Using Gaiam Pilates Kits you can create a well-toned, lean body.

About 78% of Americans do not get enough exercise. "No time" is the typical excuse.

A resistance cord workout that smoothly alternates resistance and aerobic movements promotes a conditioning target heart rate and reduces training time with maximum results.
